Technically, there IS a GUI.

It's the console's command line. Just open the console and type the line of code that commands the Game.market API to do what you want. Things like create an order, or buy an order through a deal are simple one liners.

Sure, the big hassle is that you can't be ON the market page and have the console open at the same time, but the clipboard works for capturing the id of the order you want to interact with. Anything else you can scribble on paper.

I mention this because it's not always obvious that you can just enter API code directly into the console. If you're like me, and had NO JS experience when starting, I didn't know you could do that... instead I wrote some stupidly complicated function to "single shot" a line of code into the market.

Yes, "In order" on the client, specifically in the order they are in the constants list... as they were before.

If that can be done client side per tick, great.

Add a .sort method to the store. It would have to use an intent, and cost the intent price, as it would need to go all the way through and sort the object at the database. This doesn't affect gameplay? But it's a "quality of life" issue that makes it easy to find things in Storage / Terminal store when they're in order.

I like everything but the cooldown time, it appears it takes as long to pop the compound apart as it took to put it together. Is that really necessary? The "fee" in that respect has already been paid and can't be refunded, shouldn't they just pop apart for the cost of the intent?

This is how I was hoping the factory would work... it would break down any compounds, then with N base minerals and some energy, make a "machine part" that you sell to NPCs. But nope.

This is because it doesn't take a tick to move to the next room, it's instantaneous, no commit is needed.

First: All creep movement resolves down to "creep.move(dir)" where dir is a direction constant, 1 to 8. 1 in due north, 8 is north west.4 is due south.

What's actually happening is when you register the intent "creep.move(4)" to move from tile 48 to tile 49 (The exit tile.) in the room above, you get moved all the way to tile 0 in the room below.

If the creep is talking, it will say what was registered to say in the previous tick, back when it was moving from tile 48.

If you're using "creep.moveTo()" or one of the stock path follower routines, the "lost tile" will be accounted for when crossing room boundaries, otherwise you have to manage it yourself.

I hope that makes sense. Room edge crossing can be a little hard to wrap your brain around, but there is logical sense behind it. That intent, where you leave the room, cannot fail as all you would have to do to block a room is jam creeps at the border.

Yeah, having the menu populate in a set order like that would be way better. I can't tell you how many times I've clicked "Rampart" simply because it was on top, and I expected "Storage" or "Terminal" to be on top.

The other thing I find even MORE annoying is if you click on a FLAG, then click view memory (I use flags a lot as creep generators for special purposes.) Then... you're editing away... and if you select anything else... it dumps the flag you were editing from the memory viewer. Oops! Now I have to go back there, reopen it, then redo all the edits because I wanted wanted to add (For example) the id of a rampart I wanted that creep generator to kill. There's no apparent reason for this. It's just annoying.

Those poor guys just try and try to loot those tombstones. Noop. It's like trying to go in the out door, it's not happening for them.

Were you still shooting it? As long as it can heal itself, it's healing someone. It has to have nothing to heal to flip the off switch.

This could also be done as a powerCreep power: OPERATE_STORE (Not to be confused with OPERATE_STORAGE.)

The effect grants the store the power to use the store.withdraw() and store.deposit() methods on adjacent stores. Duration: 1000 ticks, Cooldown: 300 ticks. Max transfer: 200,400,800,1600,3200 Cost: 20 ops.

The visual effect would have ramps that sprout out of the building.

This limits the scope to 3 per room, and if used in conjunction with OPERATE_STORAGE would completely max a level 5 ops generation capability (100 + 20 + 20 + 20) in the creation of a really impressive Vault / mass processing room, or as a level 3 secondary power that can handle a link in one shot.
