      Sorry for breaking the regex thing. I was really hoping they'd keep the regexes and use RE2 to do it safely. The actual implementation is done completely client side, so RE2 isn't an option. I hope losing the regexes means we avoid a troll, as opposed to nerfing a feature because of a corner case that will likely never arise (looking at you Intel and Spectre). It would have been a great part of Screeps lore if someone used this offensively, though I could imagine a rage quit over a wipe and no way to view the effected rooms.

      Thanks, added this to the documentation: Every shard can have its own 100 KB of data in string format that can be accessed by all other shards.

      I very much like the idea of areas that are more desirable than others. The shards are homogeneous and the only real differences in any particular sector is who is there. Maybe there is some bragging rights to holding the center area, but there is no incentive for conflict, or for me to go anywhere. It would be extremely interesting to have areas that AIs, especially groups of AIs would have to work together to hold, and there be some reason for them to do that. I get the point about not wanting to open a new shard. Instead, how about something like there could be something in the middle room of a sector, a puzzle, a NPC boss, something. This could be an interesting programming problem to solve. It could be made even more interesting by only being solvable by more than one player forcing AIs to coordinate. Once solved, this would unlock something interesting. Extra resources, a special building that does something neat, and beneficial to the group of people involved, and it's nature could be unique to that room. Some of the rooms could be higher level, with better rewards and harder puzzles / bosses, more people needed. Whatever. This would be able to be included in the current infrastructure. The good, center rooms could be rare, and valuable, and therefore sought after by other groups of people, creating conflict over specific sectors. Having the special rooms being in the center with the portals adds some extra excitement, as you never know when your enemies will have access to your specials.

      Keep bashing on people running bots. You say maybe half the people you see in game are NCP or using others code. Guess what, they are paying their dollars every month also. When a mmo starts offering lifetime subs, thats not a good thing. Yes, I ran k-bot, I liked watching my ant farm, and trying to understand the code. I ran it passive and avoided conflict. Last time I coded was 20 years ago in college. I did it on the main servers because I work for a living and needed someplace for it to run 24/7, I wasnt a threat to anyone near me. None of the bots are a real threat to any of you "real" coders. So what are so many of you butt hurt over? I logged over 400 hours on steam enjoying this game using and reading others code. I'm gone now, I'm sure many like me are. Enjoy your "lifetime" sub.
