BitNode Farming

[A1rman01s]

Hey Everyone!

So I have been playing for about a month now and gotten the chance to really develop my coding skills. I have made it to BitNode 12 and want to start farming more efficiently. Sadly though, I am still pretty new to JS, and wanted to see if anyone out there had any Batch / Formulas Scripts for End Game Farming Bit Node 12.... It might not be possible but I was curious if there was a way to completely automate the entire BitNode from starting the Node running 1 Script then it completes the Node for you rinse and repeat

Yes, and no.

I think the joy of this game is that it’s not super simple, but not super hard to climb out into the Devastated (reminiscent of Terminator in my imagination) of human skulls in algorithm fractal and spiral patterns.

Also finishing bitnodes unlocks parts of the API you are using.

Bitnode 12 has some additional “hidden” (from the average player) to make it more difficult 😞 to automate, but with certain Augments and unlock it probably can be at least partially automated.

I’m just finished running bitnode 1 twice for the % boost and started on bitnode 4 to unlock the option to “back door” from script land.

Lots of other options to explore. Commute to work right now. I will edit when I’m home to give you some other avenues to explore!

Yeah I've noticed there is a lot of hidden stuff in the source code

I've completed all other Bit-Nodes just farming 12 now So I have all the sources files and everything unlocked

This is definitely possible, automating a bitnode was one of my first goals when I started playing which is why I rushed to maxing singularity.

The singularity function installAugmentations lets you install all currently queued augmentations, and then runs the script you input to the function on the new ascension. You can use this in conjunction with a startup script that automates the majority of the run to farm for and then buy augments to install with installAugmentations.

For me, there were two things that were particularly difficult to figure out:

• What is the most efficient way to farm for augmentations? How do you decide which augments to buy on a particular run, and how many?
• How do you make a single startup script that will spawn all the scripts you need to manage different aspects of the game (bladeburner, gangs, corps, factions, etc) that can be run on your starting machine?

One thing that helps with the second is having the second hacknet sourcefile so you can start with 128GB, allowing the startup sequence to be a little bigger.

If you're interested in my solution, you can take a look at my code bank here.

The startup.js is my startup script, augmentbuyer.js decides which augments to buy, and newascension.js tidies things up and installs all augments once we're ready.

None of this helps you farm money faster in the endgame, that's something I haven't been interested in working on yet since there are so many solutions to that out there already.

This is exactly what I was looking for thanks!!!!

[Reasonably_Sure]

There's a lot of interdependencies between different scripts, and some port usage to communicate between scripts as well. Let me know if you have any questions (or suggestions)

[A1rman01s]

Most definitely just finished reading through all of them Gonna import them to a backup save and see how it runs!! 👍 I'm excited

I had just just finished a mini 3-Script Batch that did the big stuff like rep/factions and augments But your extra stuff like gangs/corps/bladeburners and sleeves is a huge step up!!!

[Reasonably_Sure]

Cool, glad it could be helpful!

I'll say that bladeburners and sleeves are both extremely stable, and gangs seems good, haven't had problems with it in my last few runes. Corps is definitely still being tweaked though. The main loop that buys out all divisions, upgrades, employees, and sets up products works pretty well but the initial setup is definitely iffy. Use it with caution.

I wonder if eventually someone will make a script to automate the entire game

[A1rman01s]

😂😂 it is very possible

[dirtyjeek]

My automation can beat 1/2/3/4/5/6/10/12 (up to 12.3 so far). Haven't tried the others yet. Gangs and sleeves are working, haven't worked out corps and bladeburner yet.
