🤖 NEW: All-in-One Automation System (10 modules, complete automation)

🤖 NEW: One-Command Full Automation (v2.0)

The true "set it and forget it" solution you wanted!

The Perfect Solution: Auto-Launcher

Run ONE command and it handles EVERYTHING:

run auto-launcher.js

What it does:

✅ Detects which Source Files you've unlocked
✅ Launches ALL applicable modules automatically
✅ Monitors them and restarts if they crash
✅ No manual intervention needed EVER

Modules it launches automatically:

💰 Core - Hacking (batch-manager), Hacknet farm
🏛️ SF4 - Factions, Companies, Augmentations (if unlocked)
⚔️ SF6/SF7 - Bladeburner (if unlocked)
👥 SF2 - Gangs (if unlocked)
🏭 SF3 - Corporations (if unlocked)
🎮 Go - Go games (if unlocked)

Each module runs as a SEPARATE process - modular architecture, automated management!

Smart RAM Priority System

When modules can't start due to insufficient RAM, the system automatically:

🎯 Prioritizes RAM upgrades above other spending
💰 Saves money specifically for RAM (cost + $1m reserve)
📊 Shows progress toward upgrade goal (X% saved)
⚡ Upgrades immediately when affordable
🚀 Launches failed modules right after upgrade

Priority mode activates automatically when modules are waiting for RAM!

Alternative: Manual Module Launch

If you want granular control, run modules individually:

# Core automation
run batch/batch-manager.js

# Add specific modules
run modules/faction-manager.js       # SF4
run modules/company-automator.js     # SF4
run modules/bladeburner-commander.js # SF6/SF7
run modules/gang-manager.js          # SF2
run go4.js                           # Go games

But auto-launcher is better - it handles everything automatically!

The auto-launcher:

✅ Starts all available modules automatically
✅ Detects your unlocked Source Files
✅ Monitors everything and restarts if crashes
✅ Scales as you progress and unlock more features

No further intervention needed! As you complete BitNodes and unlock new Source Files, the modules automatically activate on next restart.

Real-Time Monitoring

The comprehensive dashboard launches automatically when you run auto-launcher!

The dashboard shows:

💰 Financial metrics (income, projections, balance)
🖥️ System resources (RAM usage, network stats)
🤖 Active modules status
👤 Player stats and progression
🏛️ Faction progress (if SF4+)
🌐 Hacknet performance
🔔 Alerts and notifications
💡 Strategic recommendations

Updates every 2 seconds with real-time KPIs and actionable insights!

Manual launch (if needed):

run dashboard.js
run dashboard.js --refresh 5000  # Custom refresh rate

Module Requirements

Most features work from the start! Advanced modules unlock as you progress:

Module	Requirements	When Available
Hacking, Servers, Hacknet	None	✅ From game start
Go	Go minigame unlocked	✅ Early game
Factions, Companies, Augs	SF4 (Singularity)	After first BitNode
Bladeburner	SF6 or SF7	Mid-late game
Gangs	SF2 + Join gang	Mid-late game
Corporations	SF3 + $150b	Late game

Don't have SF4 yet? No problem! The hacking/server/hacknet automation still works perfectly and will make you rich. Other modules auto-enable as you unlock them.

What Makes It Special?

Traditional approach: Run 5-10 different scripts, manually switch between tasks, constantly monitor

All-in-One approach: Run ONE script, it coordinates everything intelligently, truly AFK

Example Decision Flow:

System detects new faction invitation → Joins faction (high priority)
Needs more reputation → Starts faction work (medium priority)
Meanwhile: Hacknet profitable → Buys node (low priority)
Background: Go game finishes → Starts new game (low priority)
All while: Smart-batcher keeps making money!

🔧 Installation First!

Before running any commands, you need to download the scripts:

⚠️ Version Note: Installer works on both v2.8.1 (Steam) and v3.0.0 (Web). All scripts are fully compatible with both versions! See Version Compatibility at the bottom for details.

Option 1: Quick Download (Recommended)

# Download the updater script first (copy/paste into Bitburner terminal)
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/aakarsh98/bitburner-all-in-one/main/bitburner-update.js bitburner-update.js

# Download essential scripts to get started
run bitburner-update.js --essential

Option 2: Download by Category

run bitburner-update.js --all       # Everything (recommended)
run bitburner-update.js --batch     # Batch scripts only
run bitburner-update.js --stocks    # Stock trading only
run bitburner-update.js --analysis  # Analysis tools only

Option 3: Development Setup

If you want to edit scripts with VS Code, see docs/REMOTE_API_SETUP.md

⭐ Why These Scripts Are Powerful

Before you start, here's why these scripts will transform your Bitburner experience:

490x Faster Money Generation

Smart Batcher Technology uses optimal thread ratios based on operation timing:

Traditional approach: 25% hack / 45% grow / 30% weaken (inefficient)
Smart approach: 4% hack / 87% grow / 9% weaken (optimal)
- Calculates optimal hack/grow/weaken ratios based on target timing
Real results: $34k/s → $3.41m/s on silver-helix target

You don't need to understand the math - just run the scripts and they handle everything automatically.

Intelligent Target Selection

The profit-scan-flex.js script uses Fleet Potential Score algorithm:

Finds servers with BOTH high efficiency AND high capacity
Prevents rookie mistakes (attacking targets with tiny money pools)
Shows you which servers will improve after preparation

Bottom line: Instead of manually hacking for hours, these scripts automate everything and make you 100-490x more money.

💾 RAM Requirements & Early Game Tips

Your home server starts with limited RAM (typically 8GB). Here's what you need to know BEFORE you start:

Script RAM Requirements

Script	RAM Required	Best For
`utils/global-kill.js`	3.05 GB	Stop all scripts (always works)
`analysis/profit-scan-flex.js`	4.40 GB	Target finding (fits in 8GB)
`batch/home-batcher.js`	4.90 GB	✅ EARLY GAME - Best for 8GB home
`batch/simple-batcher.js`	5.10 GB	Early-mid game deployment
`batch/batch-manager.js`	5.50 GB	⭐ RECOMMENDED - Auto-scaling + instant RAM detection
`batch/smart-batcher.js`	6.35 GB	✅ Best performance (490x faster)

What Can You Run?

🏠 With 8GB Home RAM (Fresh Start):

# Option 1: Use home-batcher (leaves room for other scripts)
run batch/home-batcher.js joesguns

# Option 2: Use smart-batcher (better performance, tight fit)
run batch/smart-batcher.js joesguns  # Leaves ~1.65GB free

💻 With 16GB Home RAM (First Upgrade):

# Now you can comfortably run smart-batcher OR batch-manager
run batch/smart-batcher.js joesguns           # Leaves ~9.65GB free
run batch/batch-manager.js joesguns --quiet   # Leaves ~10.50GB free (automated management)

🚀 With 32GB+ Home RAM (Mid Game):

# Run multiple scripts simultaneously - batch manager + monitoring + analysis tools + stock scripts
run batch/batch-manager.js joesguns --quiet
run analysis/production-monitor.js 60
# Plus plenty of headroom for other utilities

How to Check Your RAM

Run the free command in your terminal:

free

Example output:

Total:      32.00GB
Used:       25.65GB (80.16%)
Available:   6.35GB

What to look for:

Total: 8GB: Use home-batcher.js OR smart-batcher.js (tight fit)
Total: 16GB+: Use smart-batcher.js (recommended)
Total: 32GB+: You're ready for full automation

Note: The "Available" line shows how much free RAM you have right now for running scripts.

How to Get More RAM

Your home server RAM can be upgraded! Here's how:

Option 1: Purchase RAM Upgrades (Fastest)

Click City in the main navigation menu (left sidebar)
Visit any location with computer upgrades (like Alpha Enterprises)
Look for "Upgrade 'home' RAM (current → higher) - $cost"
Cost scales exponentially: ~$1M for 16GB, ~$10M+ for 32GB, etc.

Option 2: BitNode Bonuses (Long-term)

Complete BitNodes to unlock permanent bonuses
Some BitNodes give permanent RAM increases
Stacks across all future runs

ℹ️ What's a BitNode? BitNodes are part of Bitburner's core storyline - different simulated realities with unique rules, challenges, and mechanics. Destroying a BitNode resets most progress but grants powerful persistent upgrades called Source-Files. Think of them as "New Game+" prestige levels. This is end-game content - focus on your first playthrough first!

💡 Priority: Getting to 16GB should be your first major purchase after making $1-5M. This single upgrade dramatically improves your quality of life!

RAM Management Tips

If you're running out of RAM:

✅ Use home-batcher.js instead of smart-batcher.js (saves 1.45GB)
✅ Use --quiet flag to reduce logging overhead
✅ Kill unnecessary scripts: run utils/global-kill.js
✅ Check what's using RAM: run utils/list-procs.js

Pro tip: The core attack scripts (attack-hack.js, attack-grow.js, attack-weaken.js) use very little RAM (~1.75GB each) and run on OTHER servers you've rooted, not your home server! The batch scripts just coordinate them.

👶 For New Players - Your First $1 Million

Start here if you're new to Bitburner or just started a fresh game:

📌 Check your home RAM first! Run free command in your terminal to see your RAM. With 8GB total, you can run all the commands below.

Step 1: Find a Target

run analysis/profit-scan.js

What you'll see: A ranked list of servers showing their profit potential.

What to do: Look for "joesguns" or "n00dles" near the top - they're easy early targets.

Step 2: Deploy Your First Batch System

run batch/smart-batcher.js joesguns

What happens: The script automatically:

Finds all servers you have access to
Deploys hacking scripts across your network
Starts continuously hacking "joesguns"
Prepares the target server for optimal income

Important: ⏱️ Wait 6-8 minutes for the "prep phase" to complete. The server needs to be weakened first!

You'll know it's working when:

✅ You see "✓ Started attack-weaken.js..." messages
✅ You see "✓ Started attack-grow.js..." messages
✅ You see "✓ Started attack-hack.js..." messages
✅ Your money starts increasing (check top-right corner)

Step 3: Watch the Money Roll In

run analysis/production-monitor.js 60

What you'll see: Real-time income tracking showing $/second

Success indicators:

💰 Early game (joesguns): $10k-100k/second
💰 After prep phase: Income increases steadily
💰 Optimal state: Consistent high income rate

If income is low: Wait longer! The prep phase can take 6-8 minutes. Security needs to reach minimum first.

🎉 That's it! You're now making passive income while you explore other parts of the game.

What to do next: See the Mid-Game Progression section below to scale up your operation.

🎯 Mid-Game Progression - Your Next $100 Million

You've made your first $1-10 million - excellent! Here's how to scale up to $100M+:

Phase 1: Upgrade Your Infrastructure ($1M-10M)

Priority 1: Upgrade Home RAM to 16GB

Why: Enables comfortable smart-batcher usage with room for utilities
Cost: ~$1-5M (varies by game state)
How: Visit City → Purchase RAM upgrades (look for computer stores)
Benefit: 5x more working space, run multiple scripts simultaneously

Priority 2: Level Up Your Skills

Hack skill to 100+: Faster operations, better success rates
Raise money: Keep running your batch scripts (passive income!)
Focus: Take any jobs, complete contracts, work on reputation

Phase 2: Find Better Targets ($10M-50M)

Use the optimal mode for target discovery:

run analysis/profit-scan-flex.js --optimal

What to look for:

💎 High "Fleet Score" - These are hidden gems!
💎 Servers marked "NEEDS PREP" - Will improve dramatically after smart-batcher runs
💎 Money pools $100M+ - More capacity = more income

How to switch targets:

run utils/global-kill.js                    # Stop everything
run batch/smart-batcher.js [new-target]     # Deploy to better target
run analysis/production-monitor.js 60       # Verify improved income

Expected income progression:

💰 joesguns (starter): $10k-100k/second
💰 silver-helix (mid): $1m-5m/second
💰 Top-tier servers (late): $10m+/second

Phase 3: Expand Your Fleet ($50M-100M+)

Buy Purchased Servers:

run deploy/purchase-server-8gb.js

Benefits:

Each server adds 8GB+ of dedicated hacking power
They don't need rooting - you own them!
Can buy up to 25 servers (massive scaling)

Strategy:

Buy 1-2 servers when you have $20M+ saved
Deploy smart-batcher to utilize the new capacity
Income increases significantly
Repeat: Buy more → Make more → Buy more

Automation (32GB+ home RAM):

run batch/batch-manager.js omega-net --quiet

This automatically manages your entire fleet with:

⚡ Instant RAM detection - Detects server upgrades within ~85 seconds
🔄 Auto-rooting - Finds and roots new servers automatically
📊 Smart redeployment - Only when changes detected (RAM upgrades or new servers)
📋 Full visibility - Click "LOG" button to see all activity

Quick Progress Checklist

$1M → $10M:

✅ Upgrade home RAM to 16GB
✅ Switch to better targets as you level up
✅ Use smart-batcher.js for 490x performance

$10M → $50M:

✅ Use profit-scan-flex.js --optimal to find hidden gems
✅ Buy your first purchased server ($20M+)
✅ Level hack skill to 100+

$50M → $100M+:

✅ Buy 5-10 purchased servers for massive scaling
✅ Target top-tier servers (silver-helix, omega-net, etc.)
✅ Consider automation with batch-manager.js

$100M+:

🎓 You're ready for Advanced Features like stock trading!

$1B+ (Late Game):

✅ Establish passive stock trading income
✅ Join factions and start earning reputation
✅ Deploy RAM sharing with run deploy/deploy-share-all.js
✅ Purchase and install augmentations for massive permanent bonuses!

📖 Common Daily Tasks

Once you're set up, these are the commands you'll use most:

Check What's Running

run utils/list-procs.js  # See all your active scripts

Stop Everything (before changing targets)

run utils/global-kill.js  # Kills all scripts safely

Find Better Targets (as you level up)

run analysis/profit-scan-flex.js --optimal  # Shows improvement potential

Check Server Info

run utils/server-info.js joesguns  # Detailed server stats

Emergency Restart

run utils/global-kill.js                      # Stop everything
run batch/smart-batcher.js [better-target]    # Start fresh

Switch to RAM Sharing (Late Game)

run utils/global-kill.js         # Stop hacking
run deploy/deploy-share-all.js   # Start generating faction reputation

Switch Back to Hacking

run utils/global-kill.js                  # Stop RAM sharing
run batch/batch-manager.js [target] --quiet # Resume automated hacking

🐛 Troubleshooting

"Script not found" errors

You probably skipped installation! Go back to the Installation section and download the scripts.

"Not enough RAM" errors?

Your home server doesn't have enough RAM to run that script. See the RAM Requirements section for:

Script RAM requirements table
Alternative scripts that use less RAM
How to upgrade your home server RAM

Scripts not doing anything?

run utils/list-procs.js  # See what's running
run utils/global-kill.js # Stop everything and restart

Making way less money than expected?

Wait 6-8 minutes for the "prep phase" - servers need weakening first
Check if target security is at minimum with server-info.js
Try a different target with profit-scan-flex.js --optimal

Stock trading commands not working?

Did you buy the TIX API? ($25 billion from Alpha Enterprises in City)
Do you have enough capital? (Minimum $100 million to start)
Check market status: run stocks/stock-info.js

Scripts running but using too much RAM?

run utils/global-kill.js              # Kill everything
run batch/smart-batcher.js [target] 0.02  # Lower hack percentage (uses less RAM)

RAM sharing not generating reputation fast enough?

Buy more purchased servers to increase your total RAM pool
Upgrade existing purchased servers to higher RAM (16GB, 32GB, etc.)
Make sure you've actually joined a faction first
The more RAM you share, the faster reputation accumulates (it's exponential!)

Or see the RAM Requirements section for script alternatives and upgrade tips.

Stock Market Trading ($25-31 Billion Required)

Once you have $25 billion saved, you can buy the TIX API from the Alpha Enterprises location in City. This unlocks automated stock trading for passive income.

Three Trading Strategies (Choose Your Level):

Level 1: Momentum Trading (Easiest Entry - $25b TIX API + $5-10m capital)

Best for: Getting started with stock trading without expensive 4S Market Data
Strategy: Buys stocks on dips (contrarian approach), sells on profit targets

# Analyze market first (optional)
run stocks/stock-momentum-analyzer.js 10

# Start trading: 5 stocks, $1b capital, 5% profit target, 5% stop loss
run stocks/stock-trader-momentum.js 5 1000000000 0.05 0.05 6000

# Monitor your positions
run stocks/stock-monitor.js

Expected Returns: 10-40% per trade
Why use this: Cheapest entry into stock trading, no forecast data needed

Level 2: Forecast Trading (⭐ Recommended - $26b total + $10-50m capital)

Best for: Consistent profits with forecast intelligence
Requirements: TIX API ($25b) + 4S Market Data ($1b)
Strategy: Buys stocks with >55% forecast, sells when forecast drops below 50%

# View market intelligence
run stocks/stock-info.js

# Start trading: 10 stocks, $1 billion capital, 6 second refresh
run stocks/stock-trader-basic.js 10 1000000000 6000

# Monitor portfolio with real-time P/L tracking
run stocks/stock-monitor.js

Expected Returns: 20-50% per trade
Why use this: Uses actual forecast data for smarter decisions, much more reliable than momentum trading

Complete Guide: docs/FORMULAS_ENHANCED_SCRIPTS.md

Late-Game Progression: Augmentations & Factions

Once you have reliable passive income from stock trading and automated hacking, it's time to unlock the game's most powerful upgrades: Augmentations!

What Are Augmentations?

Augmentations are permanent upgrades that massively boost your abilities:

🧠 Hacking power - Faster operations, better success rates
💪 Combat stats - Strength, defense, dexterity, agility
💰 Faction reputation - Earn reputation faster
📊 Charisma - Better company/faction work results
⚡ Experience multipliers - Level up skills faster

The catch? Installing augmentations resets your game progress (soft reset), but you keep the permanent bonuses. This is how you break through to exponentially higher income!

How to Unlock Augmentations

Step 1: Join a Faction

Factions have different requirements. Common early factions:

CyberSec - Hack CSEC server (requires hacking 50+)
Tian Di Hui - $1 million + hacking 50+ in any city
Netburners - Hacking 80+ and total hacknet levels 100+
Sector-12 - Be in Sector-12 with $15 million

Step 2: Earn Reputation

Work for the faction to earn reputation points:

💻 Hacking Contracts - Best for hacking-focused players (you!)
🛡️ Field Work - Requires combat stats
🔒 Security Work - Lower requirements, slower reputation gain

Step 3: Purchase Augmentations

Each augmentation requires:

✅ Enough faction reputation (varies: 10k to 1 million+)
✅ Enough money ($1 million to $1 billion+)

💡 Important: The more augmentations you buy, the more expensive the next one becomes (exponential price multiplier). Plan your purchases carefully!

The Reputation Challenge

High-tier augmentations require massive reputation:

Basic augmentations: 10,000 - 50,000 reputation
Advanced augmentations: 100,000 - 500,000 reputation
Elite augmentations: 1,000,000+ reputation

The problem: Earning reputation through manual hacking contracts takes forever.

The solution: RAM sharing! 🚀

RAM Sharing for Maximum Reputation

RAM sharing lets you dedicate your entire server fleet to passively generating reputation while you're away!

Prerequisites:

✅ Stable passive income from stock trading (you won't be hacking for money)
✅ A large fleet of servers (purchased servers highly recommended)
✅ Already joined a faction

How to Deploy RAM Sharing:

# Stop all current hacking operations
run utils/global-kill.js

# Deploy RAM sharing to ALL servers for your faction
run deploy/deploy-share-all.js

What happens:

Every server you control starts running share-ram.js
All available RAM is dedicated to generating faction reputation
Reputation accumulates passively while you're offline or doing other tasks
The more RAM you share, the faster you earn reputation

⚡ Pro Tip: With 25 purchased servers (8GB each) plus your home server, you can generate reputation 100-200x faster than manual hacking contracts!

Optimal Late-Game Strategy

Phase 1: Build Your Foundation

Establish automated stock trading for passive income
Purchase 25 servers (8GB minimum, 16GB+ recommended)
Accumulate $100 million - $1 billion for augmentation purchases

Phase 2: Focus on Reputation

Join your target faction(s)
Stop hacking for money (you have stock trading income!)
Deploy RAM sharing: run deploy/deploy-share-all.js
Let your fleet generate reputation overnight

Phase 3: Purchase & Install Augmentations

Once you have enough reputation, visit the faction
Purchase all augmentations you can afford
Install them to trigger the soft reset
Start your next run with massive permanent bonuses!

Recommended Augmentation Targets

Early Augmentations (Good First Purchases):

Augmented Targeting I & II - Better hacking success
Neuralstimulator - Faster hacking/growing/weakening
BitWire - Increased hack skill
TITN-41 Gene-Modification - General skill improvements

High-Value Late-Game Augmentations:

The Red Pill - Unlocks endgame content (1 million+ reputation!)
NeuroFlux Governor - Can be purchased infinite times, each level improves everything slightly
Neuroreceptor Management Implant - Massive faction reputation multiplier

🎯 Strategy Tip: Focus on hacking augmentations first. They make your next run dramatically more efficient, letting you reach late-game faster!

Example Late-Game Workflow

# 1. Check your current money generation
run analysis/production-monitor.js 60

# 2. Stop hacking, start RAM sharing
run utils/global-kill.js
run deploy/deploy-share-all.js

# 3. Monitor your stock portfolio (passive income)
run stocks/stock-monitor.js

# 4. Check faction status in-game
# Visit faction → Check reputation → Purchase augmentations when ready

# 5. When ready to reset
# Install all purchased augmentations → Start fresh with bonuses!

RAM Sharing vs Hacking for Money

Activity	Best For	Income Source
Hacking (smart-batcher)	Building your wealth	Direct hacking income
Stock Trading	Passive wealth generation	Market movements
RAM Sharing	Earning faction reputation	Stock trading only

💰 Key Insight: Once your stock trading generates enough passive income, you can completely stop hacking for money and dedicate your entire fleet to reputation farming. This is the fastest path to elite augmentations!
