A basic code to manage your hacknets for you, while trying not to apend too much money.

Guide to Basic Hacknet Manager

How to Use

Make a .js file, or a .ns file. Either of those will work.

.script uses a different standard so those wont work.

Then paste the code into it.

The new file starts with some stuff all ready in it, so make sure you paste over it.

The Code

/** @param {NS} ns **/export async function main(ns) {function myMoney() {return ns.getServerMoneyAvailable("home");}//this script is designed to manage the hacknet nodes//to prevent excess spending i've limited it from spending//more than half the players moneyvar nodes = 0;var ref = 0;ns.disableLog("ALL");while (true) {//sleep for second to prevent the loop from crashing the gameawait ns.sleep(1000);//buy a node if we have more than twice the money neededif (ns.hacknet.getPurchaseNodeCost() < myMoney() / 2) {ref = ns.hacknet.purchaseNode();ns.print("bought node hn-" + ref);}nodes = ns.hacknet.numNodes()for (var i = 0; i < nodes; i++) {//check if nodes level is a multiple of 10var mod = ns.hacknet.getNodeStats(i).level % 10;//buy level node to the nearest multiple of 10 if we have double the money neededif (ns.hacknet.getLevelUpgradeCost(i, 10 - mod) < myMoney() / 2) {ns.hacknet.upgradeLevel(i, 10 - mod);ns.print("node hn-" + i + " leveled up");}//same for ramif (ns.hacknet.getRamUpgradeCost(i) < myMoney() / 2) {ns.hacknet.upgradeRam(i);ns.print("node hn-" + i + " ram upgraded");}//and coresif (ns.hacknet.getCoreUpgradeCost(i) < myMoney() / 2) {ns.hacknet.upgradeCore(i);ns.print("node hn-" + i + " core upgraded");}}}}
