Plan your next Bitburner session
Our independent guide helps you deepen your Bitburner experience by examining core systems and offering observation‑based strategies. Rather than promising hidden rewards, we compare approaches so you can decide what fits your playstyle best.
01 / THE GUIDE
Script Efficiency
Run a manual hack and then a scripted version of the same task. Note time differences and resource gains, then adjust loops or async calls to improve performance.
- Experiment with simple loops before tackling complex automation.
- Compare your script’s performance against manual actions to gauge efficiency.
02 / THE GUIDE
Augmentation Cost‑Benefit
List augmentations you own and their impact on income. Compare their cost versus the additional money earned per hour to identify the most economical upgrades.
- Prioritize augmentations that complement your scripting focus.
- Balance augmentation costs with the income generated from hacks.
03 / THE GUIDE
Stock Strategy Comparison
Implement two trading scripts: one using fixed thresholds, another using moving averages. Track profit over several in‑game days to see which method aligns with market volatility.
- Start with simple buy‑low, sell‑high scripts before adding complex indicators.
- Observe market trends in real time to refine your automation.
04 / THE GUIDE
Mini‑Game Automation
Select a mini‑game and first solve it manually. Then write a script that replicates the solution. Compare completion time and any resource differences.
- Treat mini‑games as practice grounds for new scripting techniques.
- Compare manual versus scripted solutions to gauge time savings.
05 / THE GUIDE
Perma‑Upgrade Exploration
Map out visited companies, locations, and factions. Cross‑reference this map with any perma‑upgrades found to spot patterns that may guide future exploration.
- Explore new locations thoroughly to increase chances of finding upgrades.
- Record discovered upgrades to avoid redundant searching.
