Automated GCL temple

Open Mirroar opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Due to power creeps harvesting and storage, I have a lot of energy stored across rooms that could be dumped into GCL, and little CPU left for claiming more rooms. Therefore, excess energy should be dumped into a GCL temple room whose only purpose is to have a controller repeatedly upgraded, unclaimed and reclaimed once RCL 8 is reached. Some things to consider:

  • Room should be close to another owned room, and ideally in a dead end so it doesn't need to be defended.
  • Spawn big, boosted upgraders
  • Maybe use pull creeps for these upgraders to save on move parts and get the same work with less upgraders
  • unclaim while at RCL 7 / 8, but only when storage and terminal are well filled with energy.
  • Make sure the "auto-unclaim for expansion" feature ignores this room
  • Minimal to no infrastructure - we don't intend to spawn creeps here
    • We need storage and terminal close to controller, upgraders around storage, energy moved from terminal to storage (or skip storage and work just from terminal, but that gives us less of an energy buffer for getting back up to RCL 6 after unclaim, so more manual moving of energy)
    • We need roads from source room to controller
    • Keep harvesting from the room as if it was remote harvesting, but spawn creeps in adjacent room
