creep roles

[JackPS9]

curious as to the kind of roles people setup in this game
right now I have:
harvesters - gather, drop off
builders - take from spawn, build structures
upgraders - take from spawn, upgrade controller
repairer - take from spawn, repair structures

You will need all kind of battle roles. Also on higher RCL you want dedicated miners, that has 5 work parts and only one move and carry, So they mine resources and drop them to containsers, from witch you probably want Filler role, with move/carry parts that will get energy from containers and distribute them to other stuff. This may look diffrent if u are planning to use relays.

If you optimalizing for CPU, you want your miners to have as much worker part possible, so they can mine source in lest possible ticks, so you awoid paying 0.2 CPU for each mine parts.

My Miner got 10 work parts, so they only mine every 2 ticks, which saves 0,20 cpu.

I have
Drones
Miners
claimer

my drones do all the things depending on the need
my miners just dig

I have longUpgraders that use the harvester's energy source when they aren't, but they don't get in the way of my primary upgraders.

Insect - base creature, so mining, build extensions and ups the controller... later in life, main energy runner between harvester, storage and builders/repairers.. yes you can transfer between creeps!
Energy priority: Spawn > Ext > Scarab(s) = Beetle(s) > Base Containers

Scarab - Primary builder, repairs if no sites up, Upgrades if Beetles are up;

Beetle - lumbering juggernaut of energy, primary base repairer, being mobile-storage, Scarab(s) steal energy, while insect(s) refuel it. if containers(in base) are full too. Fills Storage then reload from Base containers.

Ant - Sits on node forevermore, container mining. . .

have in mind 2 other classes, but yet to complete code for'em: Mantis (combat/scout), Roach (Long-range miner/builder)

altho, I need a claimer don't i; Flea? claim, move, move? xD

[D3matt]

harvester - Basic creep that brings energy from sources to spawn/extensions, goes away after getting the next type
miners - Go to the nearest source and mine into a container that they sit on top of
haulers - Take energy from source containers to storage or spawn/extensions if storage hasn't been built yet
builders - Build and repair buildings
upgrades - Upgrade the controller
claimer - Claims a new room
reserver - Reserves a room or attacks the controller if it's already claimed
defender - A bit of a misnomer, just a basic move/attack/tough creep. used for both offense and defense
drainer - A creep with only heal and toughness, used to drain dead rooms towers so they can be looted
