" +
"-hack() and grow() both work by percentages. hack() steals a certain percentage of the " +
"money on a server, and grow() increases the amount of money on a server by some percentage (multiplicatively)
" +
"-Because hack() and grow() work by percentages, they are more effective if the target server has a high amount of money. " +
"Therefore, you should try to increase the amount of money on a server (using grow()) to a certain amount before hacking it. Two " +
"import Netscript functions for this are getServerMoneyAvailable() and getServerMaxMoney()
" +
"-Keep security level low. Security level affects everything when hacking. Two important Netscript functions " +
"for this are getServerSecurityLevel() and getServerMinSecurityLevel()
" +
"-Purchase additional servers by visiting 'Alpha Enterprises' in the city. They are relatively cheap " +
"and give you valuable RAM to run more scripts early in the game
" +
"-Prioritize upgrading the RAM on your home computer. This can also be done at 'Alpha Enterprises'
" +
"-Many low level servers have free RAM. You can use this RAM to run your scripts. Use the scp Terminal or " +

" +
"To get started, visit the City Hall in Sector-12 in order to create a Corporation. This requires " +
"$150b of your own money, but this $150b will get put into your Corporation's funds. " +
"After creating your Corporation, you will see it listed as one of the locations in the city. Click on " +
"your Corporation in order to manage it.
" +
"Your Corporation can have many different divisions, each in a different Industry. There are many different " +
"types of Industries, each with different properties. To create your first division, click the " +
"'Expand into new Industry' button at the top of the management UI. The Agriculture " +
"and Software industries are recommended for your first division.
" +
"The first thing you'll need to do is hire some employees. Employees can be assigned to five different positions. " +
"Each position has a different effect on various aspects of your Corporation. It is recommended to have at least " +
"one employee at each position.
" +
"Each industry uses some combination of Materials in order to produce other Materials and/or create Products. " +
"Specific information about this is displayed in each of your divisions' UI.
" +
"Products are special, industry-specific objects. They are different than Materials because you " +
"must manually choose to develop them, and you can choose to develop any number of Products. Developing " +
"a Product takes time, but a Product typically generates significantly more revenue than any Material. " +
"Not all industries allow you to create Products. To create a Product, look for a button " +
"in the top-left panel of the division UI (e.g. For the Software Industry, the button says 'Develop Software').
" +
"To get your supply chain system started, " +
"purchase the Materials that your industry needs to produce other Materials/Products. This can be done " +
"by clicking the 'Buy' button next to the corresponding Material(s). After you have the required Materials, " +
"you will immediately start production. The amount of Materials/Products you produce is based on a variety of factors, " +
"one of which is your employees and their productivity.
" +
"Once you start producing Materials/Products, you can sell them in order to start earning revenue. This can be done " +
"by clicking the 'Sell' button next to the corresponding Material or Product. The amount of Material/Product you sell is dependent " +
"on a wide variety of different factors.
" +
"These are the basics of getting your Corporation up and running! Now, you can start purchasing upgrades to improve " +
"your bottom line. If you need money, consider looking for seed investors, who will give you money in exchange for stock shares. " +
"Otherwise, once you feel you are ready, take your Corporation public! Once your Corporation goes public, you can no longer " +
"find investors. Instead, your Corporation will be publicly traded and its stock price will change based on how well " +
"it's performing financially. You can then sell your stock shares in order to make money.
" +
"Tips/Pointers
" +
"-Purchasing Hardware, Robots, AI Cores, and Real Estate can potentially increase your production. " +
"The effects of these depend on what industry you are in.
" +
"-In order to optimize your production, you will need a good balance of Operators, Managers, and Engineers
" +
"-Different employees excel in different jobs. For example, the highly intelligent employees will probably do best " +
"if they are assigned to do Engineering work or Research & Development.
" +
"-If your employees have low morale, energy, or happiness, their production will greatly suffer.
" +
"-Tech is important, but don't neglect sales! Having several Businessmen can boost your sales and your bottom line.
" +
"-Don't forget to advertise your company. You won't have any business if nobody knows you.
" +
"-Having company awareness is great, but what's really important is your company's popularity. Try to keep " +
"your popularity as high as possible to see the biggest benefit for your sales
" +
"-Remember, you need to spend money to make money!

"are composed entirely of organic substances. For this reason, Synthoids are virtually identical to " +
"humans in form, composition, and appearance.
" +
"Synthoids were first designed and manufactured by OmniTek Incorporated sometime around the middle of the century. " +
"Their original purpose was to be used for manual labor and as emergency responders for disasters. As such, they " +
"were initially programmed only for their specific tasks. Each iteration that followed improved upon the " +
"intelligence and capabilities of the Synthoids. By the 6th iteration, called MK-VI, the Synthoids were " +
"so smart and capable enough of making their own decisions that many argued OmniTek had created the first " +
"sentient AI. These MK-VI Synthoids were produced in mass quantities (estimates up to 50 billion) with the hopes of increasing society's " +
"productivity and bolstering the global economy. Stemming from humanity's desire for technological advancement, optimism " +
"and excitement about the future had never been higher.
" +
"All of that excitement and optimism quickly turned to fear, panic, and dread in 2070, when a terrorist group " +
"called Ascendis Totalis hacked into OmniTek and uploaded a rogue AI into severeal of their Synthoid manufacturing facilities. " +
"This hack went undetected and for months OmniTek unknowingly churned out legions of Synthoids embedded with this " +
"rogue AI. Then, on December 24th, 2070, Omnica activated dormant protocols in the rogue AI, causing all of the " +
"infected Synthoids to immediately launch a military campaign to seek and destroy all of humanity.
" +
"What ensued was the deadlist conflict in human history. This crisis, now commonly known as the Synthoid Uprising, " +
"resulted in almost ten billion deaths over the course of a year. Despite the nations of the world banding together " +
"to combat the threat, the MK-VI Synthoids were simply stronger, faster, more intelligent, and more adaptable than humans, " +
"outsmarting them at every turn.
" +
"It wasn't until the sacrifice of an elite international military taskforce, called the Bladeburners, that humanity " +
"was finally able to defeat the Synthoids. The Bladeburners' final act was a suicide bombing mission that " +
"destroyed a large portion of the MK-VI Synthoids, including many of its leaders. In the following " +
"weeks militaries from around the world were able to round up and shut down the remaining rogue MK-VI Synthoids, ending " +
"the Synthoid Uprising.
" +
"In the aftermath of the bloodshed, the Synthoid Accords were drawn up. These Accords banned OmniTek Incorporated " +
"from manufacturing any Synthoids beyond the MK-III series. They also banned any other corporation " +
"from constructing androids with advanced, near-sentient AI. MK-VI Synthoids that did not have the rogue Ascendis Totalis " +
"AI were allowed to continue their existence, but they were stripped of all rights and protections as they " +
"were not considered humans. They were also banned from doing anything that may pose a global security threat, such " +
"as working for any military/defense organization or conducting any bioengineering, computing, or robotics related research.
" +
"Unfortunately, many believe that not all of the rogue MK-VI Synthoids from the Uprising were found and destroyed, " +
"and that many of them are blending in as normal humans in society today. In response, many nations have created " +
"Bladeburner divisions, special military branches that are tasked with investigating and dealing with any Synthoid threads.
" +
"To this day, tensions still exist between the remaining Synthoids and humans as a result of the Uprising.

"While most of the branches of the Triads have been destroyed over the past few decades, the " +
"crime faction has spawned and inspired a number of other Asian crime organizations over the past few years. " +
"The most notable of these is the Tetrads.
" +
"It is widely believed that the Tetrads are a rogue group that splintered off from the Triads sometime in the " +
"mid 21st century. The founders of the Tetrads, all of whom were ex-Triad members, believed that the " +
"Triads were losing their purpose and direction. The Tetrads started off as a small group that mainly engaged " +
"in fraud and extortion. They were largely unknown until just a few years ago when they took over the illegal " +
"drug trade in all of the major Asian cities. They quickly became the most powerful crime syndicate in the " +
"continent.
" +
"Not much else is known about the Tetrads, or about the efforts the Asian governments and corporations are making " +
"to take down this large new crime organization. Many believe that the Tetrads have infiltrated the governments " +
"and powerful corporations in Asia, which has helped faciliate their recent rapid rise.";
