Special thanks to u/1lluminist, u/MirkWoods, u/Averath, and abraxas86 on GitHub for bringing these issues to our attention! This should replace the temporary fix above when completed. We are working on a new feature of the script that will cause it to run in " Small Hack Mode" should you not have enough RAM to run it optimally.If you do not have enough RAM to run the script, it now tells you how much RAM you need in the logs.Fixed the " Takes x number of arguments" error.It will no longer delete existing servers that have RAM greater than or equal to the RAM of the new servers.It will now ask to delete the existing smallest RAM servers if there is not enough server slots available to complete the purchase.Less servers means more RAM per server, more servers means less RAM per server. The RAM for each server is based on the number of servers you request.numServers is now an argument you can pass in which is the number of servers you would like to purchase.The script will now kill itself to free up RAM if there are no more nodes to purchase or upgrade. maxNodes allows you to set the maximum number of nodes you want to buy and upgrade.pct sets the percentage of your money that you want to use as a threshold for buying and upgrading nodes.pct and maxNodes are now arguments you can pass in.The changes are outlined in the README and commits but I'll leave a summary here. My friend u/WEBDatBoy also pushed up changes to the hack-manger script that should resolve the errors mentioned in the comments. Your hacking XP will skyrocket.Hey everyone! I just pushed up a ton of changes regarding both the hacknet-upgrades and buy-servers scripts that address the pain points mentioned in the comments. Start one hack script then with enough threads to fill up the rest of the server's memory and just let them run. Start up 8 grow scripts spaced out over the time it takes one grow to finish and 12 weaken scripts spaced out of the time it takes one weaken to finish. Then you only need 2 weaken threads to lower security to minimum. You just have to use 1 grow thread to put $1 on the server after it is emptied, then you can use 500,000 hack threads and get experience for all of them, but only raise security by 40 * 0.002 + 1 * 0.004 (40 hack threads required to steal 100% and 1 grow thread), or 0.084. Say it takes 40 threads to hack 100% of a server's money (each ns.formulas.hackPercent() is 0.025 or 2.5%). I spread out a bunch of weaken and grow scripts over time that just call them in a loop, then throw in a script using all the remaining threads to call one big hack. When grinding for xp then you want to keep security low and also keep money *low*. So you actually want to grow *less* if you want to be xp-efficient, then you need fewer weaken threads to lower security back to minimum. However it only raises security by the number of threads you *need* to steal 100% of the server's money. You could be running 500k hack threads in one script run and steal a single $1 and get the full experience. Another foible is that you only need to steal a single $1 to get the full xp. If it succeeds it gives the same xp in 1/4 the time. And even a failed hack gives 1/4 the xp, so it's as good as a weaken xp-wise since it takes 1/4 the time. You get the same xp per thread of hack, grow, and weaken, and hack takes 1/4 the time of weaken. There are a couple of things that make the most efficient method to just do a few threads in several script runs for grow and weaken, then use all your remaining threads on one big hack. To get fast xp after a reset, prioritize weakening joesguns. And each level of Neuroflux Governor gives you 1% to all of them. Hacking speed and exp multipliers are nice to make everything faster, but hacking skill multipliers are what you're really after. At any multipliers, your xp will plateau at some point because the xp required for each new level grows exponentially. If hacking is your income, then a good batcher will get you there. Doing anything to get more augs to get those multipliers will make everything faster. Getting to 15k is really all about the multipliers.
