Introduced new room safe mode mechanics. It will replace room novice walls protection, and allow to arbitrarily safeguard your rooms while you are offline.
Safe mode is enabled on the room controller when a new player spawns in the world initially. It also can be triggered by any player manually using either the StructureController.activateSafeMode() method, or the button in the controller UI. When activated, it blocks attack, rangedAttack, rangedMassAttack, dismantle, heal, rangedHeal, attackController and withdraw methods of all hostile creeps in the room.
Only one room can be in safe mode at the same time. Safe mode period lasts for 20,000 ticks. It cannot be activated again during the 50,000 ticks cooldown period. But in Novice Areas, there is no cooldown at all.
In order to activate safe mode you spend available activations (StructureController.safeModeAvailable property). You obtain one activation on each controller level upgrade, and also can generate it by Creep.generateSafeMode() method using 1000 ghodium resource.
If the controller is downgraded, it loses all its available safe mode activations, and triggers the cooldown period.
Changelog
- Introduced new properties StructureController.safeMode, StructureController.safeModeAvailable, StructureController.safeModeCooldown.
- Introduced new method StructureController.activateSafeMode.
- Introduced new method Creep.generateSafeMode.
- The room owner can create up to 5 invader creeps using the Invasion UI in order to test room defences. These invaders will not drop resources when they die and can be removed using their UI. If another player’s creeps appear in the room, they suicide immediately.
- Renamed Game.map.isRoomProtected property to Game.map.isRoomAvailable (with the opposite meaning). The old name is still available, but deprecated and will be removed in the future. Rooms in safe mode are considered available.
- Added StructureContainer.ticksToDecay property.

Screeps - CPU Subscription
It is a MMO RTS sandbox game for programmers, wherein the core mechanic is programming your units AI. With all the attributes of a full-fledged strategy game, you control your colony by writing real JavaScript which operate 24/7 in the single persistent world filled by other players on par with you.
Your colony can harvest resources, build units, conquer territory, trade with another colonies. As you conquer more territory, your influence in the game world grows, as well as your abilities to expand your footprint. However, it requires a lot of effort on your part, since multiple players may aim at the same territory.
Screeps is developed for people with programming skills. Unlike some other RTS games, your units in Screeps can react to events without your participation – provided that you have programmed them properly. And, unlike other MMO, you do not have to play Screeps constantly to play well. It is quite enough just to check once in a while to see if everything goes well.
Features:
- You play by writing JavaScript AI which controls your units 24/7 even while you're offline.
- No shards, game realms and session match-ups: units of all players coexist in the same real-time persistent world and obey the same rules.
- Units, base, mining resources, territory control, economy, manufacturing, transporting, logistics, trading – all the attributes of a real strategy game which you need to program!
- The better your scripts, the better your game — irrespective of the time played. Your creeps will mine, build, defend, and conquer as you just work, sleep, or walk your dog.
- Only basic programming skills are required. However, if you are a pro developer, now is the chance to put your skills to the limit!
- Edit your scripts from the in-game editor, or using your favorite external IDE.
- Lifetime MMO access with 10 CPU limit included in the starter package. Raise your CPU limit to the point depending on your game level by purchasing a CPU subscription plan or via in-game items called Gametime Tokens. The subscription cost is the same for all players, there is no way to pay more to gain more advantages.
- Open source game server engine, and an option to create your own local world and play with friends without limits or subscriptions (not available yet, please read the Early Access notes).
