Missing constants (hardcoded in engine)

Knowing "constant worthy" values that do not have a constant set up in the engine yet is important especially now that private servers get more and more modifiable. This list will be useful to users since they can just use values without having to look them up in the engine code, but it might also help request missing constants from the devs (in case changing these currently hardcoded values might make the game more moddable).

Description Value Code sample
Creep fatigue removal multiplier. It works like this in the engine:

newFatigue = Math.max(0, oldFatigue - ( MOVEparts * multiplier))

-2 const MULT_CREEP_FATIGUE_REDUCTION = -2;
Max bucket value. The CPU bucket fills up to 10000 10000 const MAX_BUCKET = 10000;
