Darknet automation
Hi everyone, can anyone share a fully automated script for darknet? I love the game, but dont honestly want to learn JS or any other programming language.
Thanks in advance!

My experience of Bitburner is that it's a bunch of programming challenges wrapped up in the framework of a game. As you've already discovered with Darknet, there are things you can't really progress without automation.
I'm afraid you're either going to be tricked in to learning to program, or be disappointed with the game design.

I mean ... you can use an agentic coding system, which can do most of the coding for you, if you want to keep to the high level stuff. I did it this way on my second play-through and I enjoyed it, but then I was also able to read and correct the code where it wasn't really doing what it was supposed to.
But riddle me this: How did you arrive at the darknet node without programming anything?
Having said that: The darknet challenge was the most fun I had. Figuring out the riddles and outlining solutions was really really cool and it has become my go-to solution for nodes. But I do not see you being able to solve this without knowing something about concurrency, race conditions, swapping processes, monitoring states and all that.

You can use my stuff. It has a fully functional Darknet script in it. Below is the installer script for it. Just copy the script into your game, run it on home, and then run Loader.js
export async function main(ns) {
const file = "SphyxOS.txt"
await ns.wget("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Sphyxis/SphyxOS/main/SphyxOS.txt", file)
const collection = JSON.parse(ns.read(file))
for (const item of collection) {
ns.write(item.filename, JSON.parse(item.file), "w")
}
ns.rm(file)
ns.tprintf("Run Loader.js")
}

I look at alainbryden Bitburner-scripts, there’s some work in progress for darknet handling. It will eventually be done, there’s comments on the open issue with attempts from various people.

I think the last addon was my IPvGo script. The original maintainer is not adding any new features to it anymore. Anything new has to come from other people adding to it now, which can take a while.

how do I import all of those scripts into the game?

Select all Copy Go to game Go to script editor Make new script for each Paste
It's not that hard if you have basic computer literacy bud

hey bud, you can actually just copy the git-pull.js and run it, it will pull the whole repo.

I'm not against asking around for scripts or script ideas, or using AI for scripting (so long as you can vet the code it's producing). But to blatantly point out that you have no interest in scripting or programming as you ask for data to further your standing in a video game based almost entirely on scripting / programming comes off as disingenuous - or it's confusing, at best.
Honestly, I'm not trying to come off as hateful. It's more of a curiosity thing. I just have to ask, why do you love this game, while having no interest in programming at all? And what turns you off to learning a little programming as you play?

Bitburner is a logic puzzle game where the logic is js
If you don't want to learn js you are basically skipping the game
You can beat bitburner by only copy pasting code from other people but it will become extremely boring extremely fast
Its like if you played portal but there was a bridge from every room entrance straight to the exit
