Screeps AI using ants and other social colony insects as a model.
- If last move was successful or creep is fatigued, increase steps from last site.
- If creep is searching, remember the opposite direction to build a path home.
- If last move was not successful and creep is not fatigued, increase stuck counter.
- Instruct creep to suicide if over specified limit.
- Pick it up nearby dropped energy.
- Take Action if near site
- Transfer Energy to Spawn
- Harvest Energy from Source
- Upgrade Controller
- If returning Home, place pheromones for last visited site
- Reduced by steps taken since visiting the site
- Move if not taking action or fatigued
- Favor forward movement
- Chosen by search pheromone level
- Reduced by average level of other pheromone types
- Create creeps capable of working and carrying
- No limit
- Each pheromone deposit has a decay timer
- Decay timer is reset on update of pheromone amount
