Screeps - Container Mining Guide

A little guide for the game Screeps, on how to gather energy more efficiently with the use of containers. Screeps is a real-time strategy Javascript-programming game. Code used in the video: -------------------- Miner -------------------- var roleMiner = { /** @param {Creep} creep **/ run: function(creep) { var targets = creep.room.find(FIND_STRUCTURES, { filter: (structure) => { return (structure.structureType == STRUCTURE_CONTAINER) && (structure.store[RESOURCE_ENERGY] < structure.storeCapacity); } }); if(targets.length > 0) { if(creep.pos.getRangeTo(targets[0]) == 0) { var source = creep.pos.findClosestByPath(FIND_SOURCES); creep.harvest(source); } else { creep.moveTo(targets[0]); } } } }; module.exports = roleMiner; -------------------- Pickup -------------------- var containers = creep.room.find(FIND_STRUCTURES, { filter: (structure) => { return (structure.structureType == STRUCTURE_CONTAINER) && (structure.store[RESOURCE_ENERGY] > 0); } }); var source = creep.pos.findClosestByPath(containers); if(creep.withdraw(source, RESOURCE_ENERGY) == ERR_NOT_IN_RANGE) { creep.moveTo(source); }
