(please note, all scripts are .js in the game and compiled from .ts)
run_coordinator.ts starts process of bin-packing nodes with worker tasks. It runs in a loop and assigns threads to work on weak, hack or grow.
Only eligable targets are considered:
- for hack only with low security and >95% money
- for grow only with low security
- for weaken everything else
Coordinator uses all hosts including home. However will keep a reserve of 128GB at home. Tunable in coordinate/capacity.ts
To open new hosts use run_opener.ts. This script will periodically scan hosts and try to hack them running port openers if they are available
To buy more servers run_serverbuyer.ts can be used. It will try to buy and maximize servers and will stop doing that once no more servers can be bought or upgraded
Hackned nodes can be constantly upgraded as well with run_nodeupgrader.ts. Do not recommend to run it in early stages as it a waste of money. As soon as you can get coordinator running - it will be much better in terms of money.
Script infiltration.js is exactly for this. It runs in a background and waits until you start to inflitrate. It will automatically accomplish all the tasks.
alias inf="home ; run infiltration.js --status"
alias infon="home ; run infiltration.js --start"
alias infoff="home ; run infiltration.js --stop"
For debugging bitburner on Steam you will need to enable a remote debugging port. This can be done by rightclicking bitburner in your Steam library and selecting properties. There you need to add --remote-debugging-port=9222 [Thanks @DarkMio]
