Spawn logic could be improved when recovering from an economic crisis :) #29

Closed schoolie closed 6 years ago

schoolie commented 6 years ago

Current spawn logic always tries to build the biggest creeps the room can handle, unless there are no creeps left at all, then it spawns a tiny one.

Yeah, I did a little bit with this a while back and scrapped it. I guess I was planning on avoiding genocide for the most part ;) With all the modifications being added, though, I think it would be a good idea. I think bodyPartCap or whatever it was could be modified by a creep count check before the .push methods create the bodyParts array. If 0 creeps make 300 cost creep, if < 3 creeps maybe a 2,2,2 creep, and so on.

One idea: Determine the max energy harvest rate based on the number of WORK parts on creeps in the room. Base the size of new creeps on that number, targeting the ability be spawning creeps X% of the time (25% ?) based on how fast the existing creeps can refill the stores.

Meeting in the middle between your idea and mine:

Rather than counting creeps, count WORK parts. 0-2 WORK parts: bodyPartCap = 3 3-5 WORK parts: bodyPartCap = 6 etc...

Yeah, sounds good.

Added it. Feel free to tweak the numbers if you feel you can make it more effective. Pretty much slung potatoes at the wall on it. 72d7cc3639398aba6e7b8831736ff4f4d0650c9b d9b9ef136a5672e9d47f371c2fe4af8c19e2f2aa
