My scripts for the incremental game Bitburner. Feel free to use however you like.

I use ns2 Netscript. So far I’ve stuck to the standard functions that are available from the very beginning of the game, but that may change as the scripts continue to evolve.

In general, this repository contains a note, a Netscript library, a number of scripts.

gone-to.txt contains advice for starting fresh after installing augmentations.

library.js is a place for me to put functions for commonly-used tasks. In the past I didn’t bother copying it to other servers, so it currently only has one function:

• formatNumber(), which makes a large number human-readable by reducing it to something like ###.##, with a postfix. For example, 6875000000 would become 6.88b.

To import a function into a script, begin the latter with:

import {formatNumber} from './library.js';

All of these scripts will describe their expected usages when help is used as the first argument.

• what-about.js: Lists information about 1 or more servers, including NUKE-ability, money capacity, server growth, security level, and RAM usage.
• do-nuke.js: NUKEs 1 or more servers, after first opening the necessary ports.
• weaken.js: Continuously weakens a server’s security level. By default, it stops at the server’s minimum security level + 10, but you can specify otherwise.
• grow-n-hack.js: Grows the amount of money on a server a maximum of 10 times before hacking. The grow loop cuts out early if the server reaches its maximum amount of money. If weaken.js is available, this script will try to run it if the security level gets 15 above the minimum.
• hack-it.js: Continuously hacks a server in set intervals. If weaken.js is available, this script will try to run it if the security level gets 15 above the minimum.
• hack-me.js: Continuously hacks the server this script is running on, in set intervals. This is an extremely pared-down script that does not test the server’s security levels. As a result, it can be run on n00dles with 2 threads, for 3.70GB RAM.
• copy-scripts-to.js: Copies 1 or more scripts from the current server to another. Useful since Bitburner’s scp terminal command doesn’t move multiple files at once. If no filenames are given in the program arguments, the scripts I use most often are copied over.
• start-again.js: Begin hacking low-level servers and buying Hacknet nodes. Intended to be run after installing augmentations.
• get-path-to.js: Finds a quick route from the current server to a given destination, taking backdoors into account.
• establish-cohort.js: NUKEs, weakens, and starts running scripts on a group of servers.
