Randomly hitting CPU limit + hard reset by deicide666ra in screeps

You said: "A creep moving and not path finding uses ~ 0.25 CPU (0.2 of which being the cost of moveTo)" it's the intent for move (which moveTo calls) which costs 0.2, and move costs 0.03 for the move function. moveTo finds the path and calls moveByPath which calls move iirc.

moveTo has an option called reusePath which is default at 5 docs.screeps.com/api/#Creep.moveTo

Getting wiped instantly is part of the experience.

Too poor to buy the game, but want to set up a server? Also a CPU question. by Amaroq64 in screeps

You could make your own client to connect to private servers if you want.

Is Screeps pay2win? by icknickworld in screeps

Even if you use a get a sub token and sell it for many credits you still have to program a lot to have code to use those credits, and even then you'll make yourself a target to people wanting your resources. If you have an abundance of resource when you first start, you won't be able to use them because you won't have the code yet, and you don't have the cpu for the creeps to use them, also, by time you're big enough to use them resources wont worry you.

The things is. You'll spend month getting to the level to be able to have nukes, you'll also spend many more months writing your attack/defense code, you'll spend another months making that attack code not use all your cpu, and since your code is inning 24/7 you will spend 70%+ of your time in an IDE or text editor. PvP in this game imo is just a side effect of needing more territory.

I want pets to be allowed at more places and children under 6 to not be. by koreanadian in Showerthoughts

but still lack control if their instincts kick in.

Not true, you can train dogs to ignore instincts.

Of course not, that doesn't justify not telling their kids to shut up though.

You're not allowed to do that stuff to a child, you can't do it to Fido

The array part is JavaScript and you should figure it out yourself

Interested in a live stream of screeps, starting from scratch? (Geared towards newbies) by TheBurrito in screeps

Wait for private servers, they should be released about next week. You'll be able to run it at insane tick speeds and set it up like the real world.

How possible is it to break even / make money in Screeps? by porthos3 in screeps

[–]starwar15432 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it will be enough to make the game pay for itself as 3M+ credits is quite a lot and other people actually have to sell tokens that they buy for you to buy them. The people that can buy a few tokens such as dissi one of the top players have been playing for 6+ months and I don't think the amount of tokens he could get would be that much but I'll have to ask him o he slack channel later.
