@artch Just so: 'a completely separate game project under Screeps brand' sounds much more attractive to me persanally.

I like this idea per se.
But ... I'm not sure I'm going to share my attention between 2 servers with similar gameplay.
The more 'seasonal server' gameplay differs from the main one, the more likely it makes me interested.

Thus, my interest in a 'seasonal server' depends on the 'seasonal content'.

Frankly, I'd love to see a completely new gameplay (in addition to the current Screeps) that differs from the 'territory seizure' conception: like PvP (Screeps Arena) or even some classic RPG (where I control a Hero creep, or a group of Heroes, to achieve some objectives in the MMO world)

The issue was solved yesterday, thanks again.

Thank you for giving attention to this problem, I believe it will help.

However, while the issue exists on production (it does!), I can't consider it 'tested' of 'fixed'.

Not fixed, actually: the issue still exists atm.

(I believe that any fix - urgent or not - requires some testing )

This forum is not for urgent support.

This statement made me surprised: it was not obvious at all. You may want to clarify it here.

Back to the issue: I'll post a ticket to speedup the outcome.

Fresh screenshot:

This bug is 7 months old now. He lives much longer than any of my creeps.

Thus, anoint it The Bug Forever.

Greenpeace warning: My creeps from the edge sector are starving for power for over 100 hours.

The Screeps world is stable -- no power in the edge sector yet (84h+)

@artch ?

Another day passed by (60h+ total) -- there is still no Power to harvest...

@dissi-mark ?

Update: there are still no powerbanks during the last 36 hours

My script's logs and manual observation show absolutely no PowerBanks in the world's edge sector, shard0 (during the last 12 hours at least).

• Is it a bug or a strange PowerBanks generation algorythm?
• If it's a bug - could you debug it please?

I do like this proposal's creativity (it will make Screeps more entertaining), but I'm afraid it will create even more disbalance between low & high GCL players.

In addition to the list, there are at least 5 bug reports (created or commented by me) that are neither answered nor fixed by devs for a looong time:

• http://screeps.com/forum/topic/333/Spawning-spawn-attack-bug
• http://screeps.com/forum/topic/324/Market-deal-bug-reducing-amount-by-1-
• http://screeps.com/forum/topic/253/UI-Remove-HOSTILE-construction-sites-does-nothing
• http://screeps.com/forum/topic/314/RoomPosition-getDirectionTo-returns-the-wrong-direction
• http://screeps.com/forum/topic/297/execution-of-actions-bug

Being an active player, I do not post any bugreports anymore, that's the fact.

And my position is: ... it's sad, but it's ok.  The game is still too cool as it is now (you did a great job!), I still can play it without communication to devs. 

Though, observing the devs' indifference is not a pleasant experience ... that may outweigh the gameplay experience once.

(May a dedicated community manager be the answer?)

@devs:

It's not an easy choice (for devs) to decide, if they should favor veteran players' interests, or new players' , when creating novice areas. Still, this case is clearly handled by what Artem say ('sign a room prevents it from noobilizing').

The current situation (with a set of signed rooms being noobilized) is an evident act of ignoring game rules. It may be evaluated as disrespect to the veterans, that reduces game interest sugnificaltly.

This issue can be successfully resolved by devs in 2 ways:

1) respect the current game rules

2) update the rules of rooms being noobilized

Both solutions require the novice area in subject being removed, IMO.

I would like our community to praise mutual respect values and I think this situation can be a good step toward it.

I can't remove hostile construction sites with UI, the remove-button does nothing

This issue still exsists. Another case: 1000 energy sell E72S48->W63S52 == 999 energy in fact (tick 17366532)

My mistake, just found another ticket(633) where Artem says it's a bug and will be fixed someday.

Still, I'd like to leave it as it is now (leave the feature but update the documentation) : the attack-by-move feature is limited with creeps' `fatigue` and is not a 100% alternative to `creep.attack()`.

This feature exists since feb'16 at least. I say it's a feature, cause after private discussion with devs (ticket#584) the 'attack-by-move' wasn't removed.

And .. I do like this feature and use it to melee attack & heal during one tick.

Also, there's no problem for me to walk over a friendly creep - it won't die immidietly and can be healed.

That cross-room bug also affects `RoomPosition.getRangeTo()`
