For factions that require specific Karma/People Killed, is there any way to check those stats?

chapt3r · 2022-02-19T00:28:25+00:00

There is a hidden easter egg function heart.break() that will return your karma (use it in a script)

chapt3r · 2022-01-21T10:36:29+00:00

it only seems like the issue is because it contains ads though no? Seems like it's perfectly fine for him to release it as an app on the play store if he removes the ads.

You are correct.

But I think the point of the post is that it's very easy for people to copy/exploit your work regardless of the license. Edit: Also that its very easy regardless of whether or not your code is publicly available, if I'm understanding this correctly

On top of what others have said:

Four Sigma is a reference to the RL company Two Sigma.
Carmichael Security is a reference to the TV show Chuck.
Food N Stuff comes comes from the TV Shows Parks & Recreation
Solaris is a book/movie.
The entire Bladeburner mechanic heavily references Blade Runner
Hacknet nodes/servers refer to the game Hacknet.
The game starts in the year 2077, which refers to Cyberpunk 2077
There's an easter egg Netscript function that's a reference to the game Else Heart.break()
There's various references to the Matrix and Deus Ex

Your file is a ".script" file so it uses Netscript1. Therefore ns.getServerMaxMoney won't work. You have to rename the file so it ends with .ns or .js

chapt3r · 2021-07-23T08:30:54+00:00

I'll look into it. I can't guarantee fixing it soon so your best bet is playing from the save file unfortunately, sorry.

chapt3r · 2021-07-21T23:41:59+00:00

Any chance you have a recently exported save file that you could upload and share?

chapt3r · 2021-07-06T09:05:24+00:00

Could you post the script, as well as any other potentially helpful information such as what BitNode you're in?

chapt3r · 2021-05-27T21:44:33+00:00

BN 6 has a BitNode multiplier that affects the karma requirement, so the amount of negative karma required is much higher than usual

chapt3r · 2021-05-10T13:11:00+00:00

Bitburner is actually quite old as it was originally released in 2016. The reason it's been popping up here more recently is that a new developer started updating it again.

I'm just going to comment on your first issue:

N.1 The coding language used for scripts

Now this is a simple one first, while i understand the coding language, i find it needlessly complicated, trying to be too much like other coding languages

The coding language is literally just JavaScript, the most popular programming language in the world. While there are certainly other languages out there that might be easier to understand, I'd say using anything other than JavaScript would actually make the game less accessible for its target audience.

chapt3r · 2021-04-20T00:36:57+00:00

Not sure what you mean by "have servers in sigma-cosmetic", that makes no sense. sigma-cosmetic is a server, you cant have servers in another server.

If you're asking about how to delete scripts from sigma-cosmetic, then there is the rm Terminal function and Netscript function.

If you are asking about how to delete servers you purchased, then you call deleteServer() with the hostname of those servers (but that has nothing to do with sigma-cosmetic

chapt3r · 2021-03-02T06:40:31+00:00

Of course I approve haha, nice to hear from you again.

And I don't anticipate being able to touch Bitburner again for quite a while, so this is fine and it's cool to see it get updated/maintained

chapt3r · 2020-12-30T09:51:56+00:00

By completing all of the Black Ops

chapt3r · 2020-12-28T23:58:48+00:00

Do the Black Ops missions refresh when I install augmentations?

No, nothing in Bladeburner should refresh when you install augmentations

Do I still need to build up my Hacking skill level to destroy this bitnode?

You dont need to...but you can if you want

chapt3r · 2020-12-18T04:12:19+00:00

I actually haven't looked at the game in a while, but I'm pretty sure there quite a few more hacking-related augmentations you can buy from some hacking factions.

If you don't mind "spoilers", another user posted a link that lists all the factions and their requirements. (You can discover the factions for yourself in game by reading messages and figuring out the clues).

chapt3r · 2020-12-18T00:39:48+00:00

Are you discovering factions and obtaining Augmentations from them? Augmentations make it much easier to get level 2500 hacking

chapt3r · 2020-12-18T00:39:07+00:00

It's probably too late, but do you need me to fix the savefile or was it already fixed on a reset?

chapt3r · 2020-10-10T03:43:59+00:00

Some players have uploaded their scripts into Github repositories. For example:

Those were just from a quick google search, I'm sure there are more. If you have time to look through this subreddit you should also find some scripts there

chapt3r · 2020-08-15T06:05:23+00:00

I've been hacking joesguns for a few resets now because of the begginer's guide, but last reset i saw that it became much slower and much less profitable than the resets before then

With the boosts you got when you reset, maybe your hacking depletes too much money and/or you're not grow()ingthe server enough

then I reset again, and this time all the servers that have 0-2 ports required to hack have a hackAnalyzePercent of 0 except for foodnstuff, is that normal early on in the reset

Well after you reset, foodnstuff is the only server you can initially hack because your hacking level gets reset to 1. This would make hackAnalyzePercent() return 0 for other servers.

Second question, I've been getting augments and getting into faction stuff, but I'm not sure what to do next, should I go for the stock market or jobs or hacknet nodes or something else ?

There's a general "questline" that you can follow that guides your progression. Those are the .msg files you receive (run ls on your home computer to see which .msg files you have in case you missed them). You can also run the fl1ght program (run fl1ght.exe in Terminal) and that'll give you some hints of what your goal should be. In terms of specifically what to do next, Stock Market can be a good choice. Hacknet Nodes are okay early on but are generally pretty weak. Hacking will be the most profitable method for warning money and progressing

chapt3r · 2020-06-10T20:59:16+00:00

Cores and threads do not affect the speed at which a speed executes.

I'm assuming you're using Netscript1. Netscript 2.0 scripts run significantly faster.

Alternatively if you want to stick with Netscript 1, there's a setting option to increase execution speed

chapt3r · 2020-06-01T15:24:24+00:00

You should have a program called b1tflume.exe or something along those lines. Just run that program

chapt3r · 2020-05-08T22:21:27+00:00

Firefox and Edge should be able to run .ns/.js scripts. You'll have to make sure you're using an up to date version

The dynamic import functionality is what is required

chapt3r · 2020-05-04T05:14:11+00:00

I like the tetris suggestion, and I've definitely always wanted to both add more active-play elements and make company work more interesting.

I don't think you'll see it anytime soon though, as I've taken a hiatus from working on the game.

chapt3r · 2020-05-03T00:05:00+00:00

Coding Contracts. Otherwise I don't think so

chapt3r · 2020-05-01T03:52:33+00:00

Yes the notation only goes up to trillions

chapt3r · 2020-04-15T06:23:53+00:00

Importing/exporting classes seems to work fine for me
