Bot creating too many construction sites at RCL2

Open TooAngel opened this issue 1 month ago • 1 comments

Issue

Bot is creating excessive construction sites (74+ sites) at RCL2 with only 2-3 creeps, causing inefficiency.

Observed Behavior (2025-11-22 W2N3)

  • Construction sites: 74 sites
  • Creeps: 2-3 total (mostly universal)
  • Progress: Roads at 0%, sites not completing
  • Spawn: Idle with 302/550 energy (not spawning replacements)

Expected Behavior

At RCL2 with few creeps:

  • Limit construction sites to 5-10 max
  • Prioritize: Extensions (5/5 ✓) → Containers → Roads
  • Spawn should produce creeps when energy available and population low

Impact

  • Creeps spread thin across too many sites
  • No visible progress on any construction
  • Population not recovering after creep deaths
  • Resources wasted on planning vs execution

Recommendation

Add construction site limit based on:

  • Room Control Level
  • Active creep count
  • Construction progress rate

cc: respawn in W2N3, RCL2 bootstrap phase
