Traditional hacking uses inefficient thread ratios that waste your computing power:

• Traditional: 25% hack / 45% grow / 30% weaken (Inefficient!)
  
• ✅ Smart Approach: 4% hack / 87% grow / 9% weaken (Optimal!)

The smart-batcher calculates optimal ratios based on operation timing. You don't need to understand the math - just run the script and it handles everything automatically!

💡 Pro Tip: Use batch-manager.js for the ultimate experience - it uses smart-batcher technology PLUS auto-rooting, instant RAM detection, and automatic redeployment. Set it and forget it!

The script uses a Fleet Potential Score algorithm that:

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

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

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

🎯 Important: batch-manager.js uses smart-batcher.js internally! It has the same 490x performance PLUS auto-rooting, instant RAM detection, and automatic redeployment. It's the ultimate choice once you have 16GB+ home RAM!

Run this command to see your available RAM:

What to look for:

• Total: 8GB - Use home-batcher.js (fits perfectly)
  
• Total: 16GB+ - Use batch-manager.js (fully automated!)
  
• Total: 32GB+ - Use batch-manager.js with ease (plenty of room for monitoring)

Purchase RAM Upgrades (Fastest Method):

1. Click City in the main navigation menu
   
2. Visit any location with computer upgrades (like Alpha Enterprises)
   
3. Look for "Upgrade 'home' RAM"
   
4. Cost: ~$1M for 16GB, ~$10M+ for 32GB (scales exponentially)

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

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



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.

---

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)

---

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.

---

---

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

---

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!

---

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 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:


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!

Phase 1: Build Your Foundation

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

Phase 2: Focus on Reputation

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

Phase 3: Purchase & Install Augmentations

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

---

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!

---

---

💰 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!

---

The Golden Rule: Start small, scale up gradually. Don't rush to buy expensive upgrades before you understand the basics!

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

• Check RAM requirements table above
  
• Use
  home-batcher.js
  instead of
  smart-batcher.js
  (saves 1.45GB)
  
• Upgrade your home server RAM (City → Purchase upgrades)
  
• Kill unnecessary scripts:
  run utils/global-kill.js

• 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

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

• 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!)
