Long term design goals

• Extension planning
• Creep spawning and optimisation
• Remote mining
• Energy allocation and budgeting
• Fortification placement

Required creep tasks:

• Harvest energy
• Upgrade controller
• Build structures (which structures?) - we can start with some construction macros and move on to having the planner decide
• Attack
• Defend

Required planner tasks:

• Create creeps
• Maintain creep numbers
• Balance roles
• Plan and "commission" structures
• Manage path-finding load
• Defend territory
• Attack territory

Planner Strategy

To start with let the planner only care about the room it's in. Later on we can add expansion strategies.

RC1

• Maximum creep cost: 300
• Just upgrade controller (always implied in later levels, just the main point of RC1)
• No additional construction, this is a very temporary phase

RC2

• Build extensions
• Maximum creep cost: 550
• Start to construct ultra-optimised roads, if needed

RC3

• Dedicated "cows" now possible (WORK*5)
• Tower construction.
• Build containers to put grazing output
• Initial safe mode tends to end here.

RC4

• Build Storage.
