I have a few questions:

Creep - you can use this image to decorate your creeps (either all of them or using a regular expression for name).

My creeps' names are random numbers. Will there be another way to select a creep decoration via code?

You can restrict pixelization by a specific theme if you wish to craft only decorations of the specific color to match your existing design. This option increases the pixelization cost from 500 to 5,000 pixels.

If you restrict the decoration theme to X you get 1 item with theme X. If you instead buy 10 decorations (which costs the same amount of pixels) you get ~1.4 items with theme X on average and additionally other random things. So using the restriction feature isn't worth the cost. Is this intended? Will the numbers be changed?

3. Will there be / are there ducks?

I get the same error as @MaZDuR.

If you need somebody else for debugging, I have the same problem.

My CPU usage graph on shard3:

https://screeps.com/ptr/#!/room/shard2/W19S15 There is a stronghold in this room but it isn't reserved. Is this intended?

Watch Shere Khan's healer, also when going back and forth in history his rendered position isn't always equal to his real one.

@o4kapuk It's still there in FF 66.

@davaned It's in the post edit history...

@duckymirror Looks like I've been missing something... Turning off hardware accelaration gets legacy renderer speed back.

Am I missing something or has the SVG renderer been removed?

I often use the simulation and it runs a lot slower with the WebGL one (about factor 6).

@smokeman The exit tile problem is older than this update and is only present without hardware accaleration. (Firefox here too)

@o4kapuk Thanks! This isn't a big problem as the main server sim is still working.

The simulation driver is not compatible with the new engine (with power creeps) yet.

Does this mean that power creeps will be available in the sim soon?

@semperrabbit The problem is the sim, not the server.

@o4kapuk Yes, it isn't working. I tried it in Chrome 72 now, signed out, tried it again, the problem persisted. Aren't there usually six web workers? I only saw five of them.

Which means that no code is executed, no scripts, no console commands. The main server sim works as it should.

I've tried it in Firefox 65 and Edge 17.

What happens once you reach GCL 3?

Spawning outside the spawn? Did I get this right? It would sound like a bug.

@davaned said in PTR Changelog 2019-02-01: Power Creeps:

Also, another power creep power that could be awesome would be the ability to DISRUPT_REPAIR (possibly as an AOE) to prevent any structure from being repaired. This would be a great counter to the wall/rampart strat of ignore the attackers and just dump more energy into it.

I'm not experienced with this at all but I think it's difficult to keep repairing ramparts/walls with a disrupted terminal.

@artch The UI looks good! Only two things:

1. Maybe show PC type in the object panel?
2. The renewing animation seems to be only for normal creeps, not for PCs.
