Useful Constants

This article is a stub. You can help Screeps Wiki by editing to add more information.

This page will list constants either useful because they are missing from the official constants or because they might be interesting to know when solving certain ingame problems.

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;
Hits (Health/HitPoints) per-part of a creep	100	const CREEP_HITS_PER_PART = 100;
username for the Invader NPCs	'Invader'	const INVADER_USERNAME = 'Invader';
Rate at which energy (progress) is dropped from construction sties, when stomped (moved onto) by creeps.	0.5	const CONSTRUCTION_SITE_STOMP_RATIO = 0.5;
Power of RANGED_MASS_ATTACK, dependent on range.	{ 1: 10, 2: 4, 3: 1}	const RANGED_MASS_ATTACK_POWER = { 1: 10, 2: 4, 3: 1};
The max amount of CPU that can be used in one game tick, any CPU over the user's assigned amount comes out of the bucket	500	const MAX_CPU_PER_TICK = 500;
The ranges creeps have to be within to execute certain actions.	{ attack: 1, attackController: 1, build: 3, claimController: 1, dismantle: 1, generateSafeMode: 1, harvest: 1, heal: 1, pickup: 1, pull: 1, rangedAttack: 3, rangedHeal: 3, rangedMassAttack: 3, repair: 3, reserveController: 1, transfer: 1, upgradeController: 3, withdraw: 1};	const CREEP_ACTION_RANGES = { attack: 1, attackController: 1, build: 3, claimController: 1, dismantle: 1, generateSafeMode: 1, harvest: 1, heal: 1, pickup: 1, pull: 1, rangedAttack: 3, rangedHeal: 3, rangedMassAttack: 3, repair: 3, reserveController: 1, transfer: 1, upgradeController: 3, withdraw: 1};
