This is it. It's happening. Power Creeps are here. A whole new Power Era in Screeps! It's been a long road indeed. The Power resource was introduced to the game in December 2015. The plans for development of the new Power Creeps concept were announced at the same time. Since then, we've heard numerous opinions, deeply analyzed all comments, suggestions and concerns of our community. The concept was changed, readjusted and reworked several times. This wasn't the only reason of the delay of the release: since 2016 we've been focusing on other areas of the project that have more to do with optimization and reworking of the game engine than the game content itself. This was because the release of the game on Steam in 2016 resulted in the influx of players we weren't ready for. However, a great deal of game content has been developed too: minerals, NPC invaders, market system, nukes, room visuals, world shards, tombstones, tunnels, events log. All these things were developed after we had announced Power Creeps, and we believe we didn't spend time in vain but managed to improve the game in many aspects. But now we are excited to announce the final release of the Power Creeps system in the game! We started its public beta on February 1, 2019 on the Public Test Realm, and after 1.5 months we can say it's polished enough to go live. [quote] What is power? Power is an end-game mechanic opening a whole new trek in the development of your colony: towards increasing its effectiveness rather than the size of colonized territory. This is how its contents look like:

• You mine a special resource called power.
• Mined resource is processed in 8-level rooms and increase your account Global Power Level (GPL).
• GPL allows for creation of Power Creeps — special hero units — and development their levels and skills (so called "powers").
