bitburner-scripts VS Table

I'll submit it to bitburner-scripts once I test it.

There's always auto-win.js if you want to skip the boring part between the beginning and the end.

Too late, I already came across https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-scripts — My version of custom-stats.js wasn't running for the screenshot.

There are some neat official example scripts to be found at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-scripts, which you can use as-is, expand upon, or use as learning material.

You can find an official example script doing exactly this at https://github.com/bitburner-official/bitburner-scripts, look for monitor.js. And of course feel free to check out the other scripts as well, even if the script's functionality isn't what you're looking for, I often find inspiration or learn new things from checking out other people's scripts.

If you're an impatient person like I am, and wanna know what's happening on a server that you're targeting, and to give an idea of if anything is happening the following is super super handy for that monitor.js

Script looks good. Maybe for a first upgrade you can transition from using a const at the top to using args to pass in the value you want to use. You can start simple with just using ns.args[0] so when you call your script like “run myscript.js 1000000000” it will run till that number. If you wanted to get fancy you could use ns.flags like in this script to set a default value or have like 1 flag to make it a constant target and another flag to make it only spend some percentage of your current cash.

lastly just to show a use case that i find very helpful this is a snippet from hydroflame's github scripts

"table" - Produces a string that represents array data in a text table. It allows me to easily create automated stats for Slack channels with all the things that where covered by this tool. What got deleted, what was added, Who triggered the export tool etc, you can really go wild with what you want to output. This is important to keep the team in sync and minimise the error rates or miscommunications cross department.

For JavaScript/TS I would recommend looking at the NodeJS options and seeing what could give you enough access to the internals or allow implementing a custom backend. Table might be good.
