Do you mean to the main server or to a private server? I know you don't have to use steam to access the main server as you can log-in / play via a browser. However I don't know if the private server can be run w/o steam internet access.

@o4kapuk ?

Without knowing what your tower code looks like it would be hard to say why they did not shoot at him. As W4rl0ck already stated creeps with work parts can dismantle structures, which is actually more effective than an attack part.

Dismantle: Dismantles a structure for 50 hits per tick returning 0.25 energy unit per tick.

Attack: Attacks another creep/structure with 30 hits per tick in a short-ranged attack.

Their also correct about the strength of your walls, that creep that attacked you had 25 work parts, so 25*50 = 1250 damage per tick to your wall.

You could also go to Slack and ask in the help channel about your code for assistance if you don't wish to post it here.

I use something similar but don't assign it that way, did you try it without toString?

Ex of it working in mine:

this.spawnCreep([MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE,MOVE], ('towTruck'+Math.floor(Math.random()*1000)),{memory:{home: this.room.name, role: 'towTruck', cooldownTimer: 5}});

or for some reason the variable isn't defined yet when console is executed but can't imagine why.

You can control as many rooms as you have GCL (Global Control Level) to do so, currently on the live server you seem to be GCL 1, meaning you can control / build in the one room you spawned in.

Once you hit GCL 2 you can then claim another room with a creep with at least one CLAIM part. Once claimed, you can build / upgrade this room as well.

The level of the controller will depend on what you can build there, see: Docs: Control for more information. You can see your GCL on the overview tab by the way, or by calling it w/ Game.gcl['level']

I've had something similar happen if not the same where if I try and click on a memory to expand it when I'm on the over-world view or transitioning into a room it will freeze or not load, then any subsequent attempts to expand that particular memory will always fail and just seem like its loading forever.

I've been able to fix it on chrome by clearing the browsing data which then acts like its the first time I've logged in but everything works after re logging in.

Great news! This is actually been implemented already, though its phrased as 'pulling'.

Greetings,

Yes, from what I understand you can do some cool things with 20 CPU and to be clear you can exceed that in short-bursts with an overflow bucket of 10,000 (See: CPU Limit doc). The simulation to my knowledge from the site is also free, if you wanted to try it out first: (See Simulation).

As of writing, the live severs are:

Shard0: 5s a Tick Shard1: 3.4s a Tick Shard2: 3.2s a tick Shard3: 3.6 a tick

Though that can vary, ~3 is average and decent for being able to respond to live-troubleshooting of code.

I've never read that review before now. I've visited slack a few times but only started jumping on more recently, while tight-nit I wouldn't call it toxic most players I see get help relatively quickly and questions are answered.

There are a few things I'd question about the post but I do not know the situation or what led up to it. I've only played with the private client a little, so couldn't help there.

this guy's review - I'll admit I normally do have Screeps up on another tab when playing other games to make sure code-behavior is acting correctly or to update the code as needed for things, though I'd view the game as a game about automation more than active-action unless your mid-attack. We'll have to see how Screeps Arena is.

This other one - Yep, there's a market for credits and Tokens similar to ISK and Plex in Eve-Online. Though you can play the market to get credits not just though selling tokens. There are two types of "Novice zones" a Novice Area in green which you need to have a Global Control Level (in-game-level) less than 3 to enter, and Respawn Zones that anyone can enter but you have to give up all your previous territory, not your account levels or code-base. Both zones are cut-off for an extended period of time from the outside world giving you time to prepare.

See: Starter Areas

In-fact if you haven't already I'd start reading the Docs Page and API Page Before I purchased I went though the Docs page several times to get an idea of the concepts.

@artch Workin' great! Thanks.
