I'm not necessarily worried about it keeping up with season goals. I care mostly about the interesting new runtime and world layout.

Will there be a private server version of Arena for development purposes?

RE: Creep name length limit
/bump
Yeah so this is still an issue. Some people are discussing how to utilize this for storage. Seems a creep name of 1 mb is achievable in the PS, unknown in MMO. > 50 though.
We should probably fix this before it gets abused as heavily as the flag name length was.
50 doesn't necessarily need to be the exact limit, but seems like a fair number. I wouldn't go any smaller. But there definitely needs to be a limit in place.

RE: Game.cpu.generatePixel change
Is this really the best solution you could come up with to the problem?
Logically this is going to be bad to wire up. And for those of us generating a pixel it means once every 17 - 50 ticks we're going to skip the entire tick and nothing in our entire codebase gets to act?
I understand needing to slow down pixel generation. But this is a terrible solution.

RE: isActive() call extremely expensive.
The engine code actually very rarely to never calls the structure isActive method, it's hard coded to check against controller and does a very, very expensive partition operation every time it's callled. It's also however not easy to fix, as the ideal would be to calculate and cache this information whenever RCL changed or a structure was placed/destroyed.

RE: PTR Changelog 2020-08-30: Map Visuals
If possible, it would be helpful if the console was available while in map view as well

RE: PWR_OPERATE_EXTENSION doesn't work with containers
Thanks! I can confirm it does work now!

PWR_OPERATE_EXTENSION doesn't work with containers
The engine code suggests it should but I think this line is what's preventing it from working:
var extensions = _.filter(roomObjects, i => i.type == 'extension' && i.user == target.user && !i.off);
at https://github.com/screeps/engine/blob/master/src/processor/intents/power-creeps/usePower.js#L112
I think it's caused by the
i.user == target.user
portion, and containers not being owned. -
shard0 rooms not in active state
Probably related to the recent downtime, but at time of writing I've got several rooms on shard0 not ticking properly. Containers with negative decay, creeps with no ticksToLive, invaders not moving, downgrade timers running but not accepting upgrade actions (despite displaying the animation).

Script errors should not prevent console commands from running
Facing a situation I could resolve with a single cpu halt, but can't execute anything due to the error.
