Full Automation for Hacknet nodes that is looking for the most profitable upgrade and choosing it.
How it works
Algorithm is looking for the most profitable ratio.
Ratio = Production growth divided by Upgrade Cost
Production growth = Production after upgrade divided by Current production
I recommend you to pass bigger loop iteration time (e.g. 100 000) or leave the default to let hacknet nodes collect more money so that they can compare more upgrades instead of constantly upgrading the cheapest one.
Usage
Step-by-step
- Open the terminal
- Type “nano hacknet-bot.ns” to create a file
- Clear the file and paste the code below there
- Save the file
- Go back to the terminal
- Type “run hacknet-bot.ns” to run a script
You can define a loop frequency time by passing an additional script argument
e.g. “run hacknet-bot.ns 10000”
Default loop freq. is 60 000 ms = 1 min.
You can also copy the code from https://www.paste.org/121034.
Code
/** @param {NS} ns **/ export const main = async ns => { // helpers const getMoney = () => ns.getPlayer().money; const getProduction = (level, ram, cores) => (level * 1.5) * Math.pow(1.035, ram - 1) * ((cores + 5) / 6); // loop interval passed as a script parameter, default interval is 60 000ms const interval = ns.args[0] || 60000; // main loop while (true) { // loop through all hacknet nodes for (var index = 0; index < await ns.hacknet.numNodes(); index++) { // your current money const money = getMoney(); // your production multiplier from installed augmentations const prodMultiplier = await ns.getHacknetMultipliers().production; // get current node stats const nodeStats = await ns.hacknet.getNodeStats(index); const curRam = nodeStats.ram; const curLevel = nodeStats.level; const curCores = nodeStats.cores; const curProd = nodeStats.production; // get costs of upgrades const ramUpgradeCost = await ns.hacknet.getRamUpgradeCost(index); const levelUpgradeCost = await ns.hacknet.getLevelUpgradeCost(index); const coreUpgradeCost = await ns.hacknet.getCoreUpgradeCost(index); // check upgrades profitability and if you have enough money // UPGRADE RATIO = production growth after upgrade / current production const prodGrowthAfterLevelUpgrade = (getProduction(curLevel + 1, curRam, curCores) * prodMultiplier) - curProd; const levelUpgradeRatio = money >= await levelUpgradeCost ? prodGrowthAfterLevelUpgrade / await levelUpgradeCost : 0; const prodGrowthAfterRamUpgrade = (getProduction(curLevel, curRam * 2, curCores) * prodMultiplier) - curProd; const ramUpgradeRatio = money >= await ramUpgradeCost ? prodGrowthAfterRamUpgrade / await ramUpgradeCost : 0; const prodGrowthAfterCoresUpgrade = (getProduction(curLevel, curRam, curCores + 1) * prodMultiplier) - curProd; const coresUpgradeRatio = money >= await coreUpgradeCost ? prodGrowthAfterCoresUpgrade / await coreUpgradeCost : 0; // check if you have enough money for any upgrade const ratios = [levelUpgradeRatio, ramUpgradeRatio, coresUpgradeRatio]; if (ratios.every(ratio => ratio === 0)) { continue; } // find the most profitability upgrade const mostProfitUpgrade = Math.max(...ratios); const mostProfitUpgradeIndex = ratios.findIndex(ratio => ratio === mostProfitUpgrade); // execute the most profitability upgrade switch (mostProfitUpgradeIndex) { case 0: await ns.hacknet.upgradeLevel(index, 1); break; case 1: await ns.hacknet.upgradeRam(index, 1); break; case 2: await ns.hacknet.upgradeCore(index, 1); break; default: continue; } } // check if you can buy new node machine if (getMoney() > await ns.hacknet.getPurchaseNodeCost()) { await ns.hacknet.purchaseNode(); } // sleep to prevent crash because of infinite loop await ns.sleep(interval); } }
