TutorialGettingStartedText: "Todo...",
TutorialNetworkingText: "Servers are a central part of the game. You start with a single personal server (your home computer) " +
"and you can purchase additional servers as you progress through the game. Connecting to other servers " +
"and hacking them can be a major source of income and experience. Servers can also be used to run " +
"scripts which can automatically hack servers for you.
" +
"In order to navigate between machines, use the 'scan' command to see all servers " +
"that are reachable from your current server. Then, you can use the 'connect [hostname/ip]' " +
"command to connect to one of the available machines.
" +
"The 'hostname' and 'ifconfig' commands can be used to display the hostname/IP of the " +
"server you are currently connected to.",
TutorialHackingText: "In the year 2077, currency has become digital and decentralized. People and corporations " +
"store their money on servers. By hacking these servers, you can steal their money and gain " +
"experience.
" +
"Gaining root access
" +
"The key to hacking a server is to gain root access to that server. This can be done using " +
"the NUKE virus (NUKE.exe). You start the game with a copy of the NUKE virus on your home " +
"computer. The NUKE virus attacks the target server's open ports using buffer overflow " +
"exploits. When successful, you are granted root administrative access to the machine.
" +
"Typically, in order for the NUKE virus to succeed, the target server needs to have at least " +
"one of its ports opened. Some servers have no security and will not need any ports opened. Some " +
"will have very high security and will need many ports opened. In order to open ports on another " +
"server, you will need to run programs that attack the server to open specific ports. These programs " +
"can be coded once your hacking skill gets high enough, or they can be purchased if you can find " +
"a seller.
" +
"In order to determine how many ports need to be opened to successfully NUKE a server, connect to " +
"that server and run the 'analyze' command. This will also show you which ports have already been " +
"opened.
" +
"Once you have enough ports opened and have ran the NUKE virus to gain root access, the server " +
"can then be hacked by simply calling the 'hack' command through terminal, or by using a script.
" +
"Hacking mechanics
" +
"When you execute the hack command, either manually through the terminal or automatically through " +
"a script, you attempt to hack the server. This action takes time. The more advanced a server's " +
"security is, the more time it will take. Your hacking skill level also affects the hacking time, " +
"with a higher hacking skill leading to shorter hacking times. Also, running the hack command " +
"manually through terminal is faster than hacking from a script.
" +
"Your attempt to hack a server will not always succeed. The chance you have to successfully hack a " +
"server is also determined by the server's security and your hacking skill level. Even if your " +
"hacking attempt is unsuccessful, you will still gain experience points.
" +
"When you successfully hack a server. You steal a certain percentage of that server's total money. This " +
"percentage is determined by the server's security and your hacking skill level. The amount of money " +
"on a server is not limitless. So, if you constantly hack a server and deplete its money, then you will " +
"encounter diminishing returns in your hacking (since you are only hacking a certain percentage). A server " +
"will regain money at a slow rate over time.
" +
"Server Security
" +
"Each server has a security level, which is denoted by a number between 1 and 100. A higher number means " +
"the server has stronger security. As mentioned above, a server's security level is an important factor " +
"to consider when hacking. You can check a server's security level using the 'analyze' command, although this " +
"only gives an estimate (with 5% uncertainty). You can also check a server's security in a script, using the " +
"getServerSecurityLevel(server) function in Netscript. See the Netscript documentation for more details. " +
"This function will give you an exact value for a server's security.
" +
"Whenever a server is hacked manually or through a script, its security level increases by a small amount. This will " +
"make it harder for you to hack the server, and decrease the amount of money you can steal. You can lower a " +
"server's security level in a script using the weaken(server) function in Netscript. See the Netscript " +
"documentation for more details",
TutorialScriptsText: "Scripts can be used to automate the hacking process. Scripts must be written in the Netscript language. " +
"Documentation about the Netscript language can be found in the 'Netscript Programming Language' " +
"section of this 'Tutorial' page.
" +
"It is highly recommended that you have a basic background in programming to start writing scripts. " +
"You by no means need to be an expert. All you need is some familiarity with basic programming " +
"constructs like for/while loops, if statements, " +
"functions, variables, etc. The Netscript programming language most resembles the Javascript language. " +
"Therefore, a good beginner's programming tutorial to read might be " +
"this one. Note that while the Netscript language is similar to Javascript, it is not the exact same, so the " +
"syntax will vary a little bit.
" +
"Running a script requires RAM. The more complex a script is, the more RAM " +
"it requires to run. Scripts can be run on any server you have root access to.
" +
"Here are some Terminal commands that are useful when working with scripts:
" +
"free - Shows the current server's RAM usage and availability
" +
"kill [script] - Stops a script that is running
" +
"mem [script] - Check how much RAM a script requires to run
" +
"nano [script] - Create/Edit a script
" +
"ps - Displays all scripts that are actively running on the current server
" +
"rm [script] - Delete a script
" +
"run [script] - Run a script
" +
"tail [script] - Displays a script's logs
" +
"top - Displays all active scripts and their RAM usage
" +
" Notes about how scripts work offline
" +
" The scripts that you write and execute are interpreted in Javascript. For this " +
"reason, it is not possible for these scripts to run while offline (when the game is closed). " +
"It is important to note that for this reason, conditionals such as if/else statements and certain " +
"commands such as purchaseHacknetNode() or nuke() will not work while the game is offline.
" +
"However, Scripts WILL continue to generate money and hacking exp for you while the game is offline. This " +
"offline production is based off of the scripts' production while the game is online.
" +
"grow() and weaken() are two Netscript commands that will also be applied when the game is offline, although at a slower rate " +
"compared to if the game was open. This is done by having each script keep track of the " +
"rate at which the grow() and weaken() commands are called when the game is online. These calculated rates are used to determine how many times " +
"these function calls would be made while the game is offline.
" +
"Also, note that because of the way the Netscript interpreter is implemented, " +
"whenever you reload or re-open the game all of the scripts that you are running will " +
"start running from the BEGINNING of the code. The game does not keep track of where exactly " +
"the execution of a script is when it saves/loads.
",
TutorialNetscriptText: "Netscript is a programming language implemented for this game. The language has " +
"your basic programming constructs and several built-in commands that are used to hack.
" +
" Variables and data types
" +
"The following data types are supported by Netscript:
" +
"numeric - Integers and floats (eg. 6, 10.4999)
" +
"string - Encapsulated by single or double quotes (eg. 'this is a string')
" +
"boolean - true or false
" +
"To create a variable, use the assign (=) operator. The language is not strongly typed. Examples:
" +
"i = 5;
" +
"s = 'this game is awesome!';
" +
"In the first example above, we are creating the variable i and assigning it a value of 5. In the second, " +
"we are creating the variable s and assigning it the value of a string. Note that all expressions must be " +
"ended with a semicolon.
" +
" Operators
" +
"The following operators are supported by Netscript:
" +
" +
" +
" -
" +
" *
" +
" /
" +
" %
" +
" &&
" +
" ||
" +
" <
" +
" >
" +
" <=
" +
" >=
" +
" ==
" +
" !=
" +
" Functions
" +
"You can NOT define you own functions in Netscript (yet), but there are several built in functions that " +
"you may use:
" +
"hack(hostname/ip)
Core function that is used to try and hack servers to steal money and gain hacking experience. The argument passed in must be a string with " +
"either the IP or hostname of the server you want to hack. The runtime for this command depends on your hacking level and the target server's security level. " +
" A script can hack a server from anywhere. It does not need to be running on the same server to hack that server. " +
"For example, you can create a script that hacks the 'foodnstuff' server and run it on your home computer.
" +
"Examples: hack('foodnstuff'); or hack('148.192.0.12');
" +
"sleep(n)
Suspends the script for n milliseconds.
Example: sleep(5000);
" +
"grow(hostname/ip)
Use your hacking skills to increase the amount of money available on a server. The argument passed in " +
"must be a string with either the IP or hostname of the target server. The runtime for this command depends on your hacking level and the target server's security level. " +
"When grow() completes, the money available on a target server will be increased by a certain, fixed percentage. This percentage " +
"is determined by the server's growth rate and varies between servers. Generally, higher-level servers have higher growth rates.
" +
"Like hack(), grow() can be called on any server, regardless of where the script is running. " +
"The grow() command requires root access to the target server, but there is no required hacking level to run the command. " +
"It grants 1 hacking exp when it completes. Works offline at a slower rate.
Example: grow('foodnstuff');
" +
"weaken(hostname/ip)
Use your hacking skills to attack a server's security, lowering the server's security level. The argument passed " +
"in must be a string with either the IP or hostname of the target server. The runtime for this command depends on your " +
"hacking level and the target server's security level.
Like hack() and grow(), weaken() can be called on " +
"any server, regardless of where the script is running. This command requires root access to the target server, but " +
"there is no required hacking level to run the command. Grants 3 hacking exp when it completes. Works offline at a slower rate
Example: weaken('foodnstuff');
" +
"print(x)
Prints a value or a variable to the scripts logs (which can be viewed with the 'tail [script]' terminal command )
" +
"nuke(hostname/ip)
Run NUKE.exe on the target server. NUKE.exe must exist on your home computer. Does NOT work while offline
Example: nuke('foodnstuff');
" +
"brutessh(hostname/ip)
Run BruteSSH.exe on the target server. BruteSSH.exe must exist on your home computer. Does NOT work while offline
Example: brutessh('foodnstuff');
" +
"ftpcrack(hostname/ip)
Run FTPCrack.exe on the target server. FTPCrack.exe must exist on your home computer. Does NOT work while offline
Example: ftpcrack('foodnstuff');
" +
"relaysmtp(hostname/ip)
Run relaySMTP.exe on the target server. relaySMTP.exe must exist on your home computer. Does NOT work while offline
Example: relaysmtp('foodnstuff');
" +
"httpworm(hostname/ip)
Run HTTPWorm.exe on the target server. HTTPWorm.exe must exist on your home computer. Does NOT work while offline
Example: httpworm('foodnstuff');
" +
"sqlinject(hostname/ip)
Run SQLInject.exe on the target server. SQLInject.exe must exist on your home computer. Does NOT work while offline
Example: sqlinject('foodnstuff');
" +
"run(script)
Run a script as a separate process. The argument that is passed in is the name of the script as a string. This function can only " +
"be used to run scripts located on the same server. Returns true if the script is successfully started, and false otherwise. Requires a significant amount " +
"of RAM to run this command. Does NOT work while offline
Example: run('hack-foodnstuff.script');
The example above will try and launch the 'hack-foodnstuff.script' script on " +
"the current server, if it exists.
" +
"exec(script, hostname/ip)
Run a script as a separate process on another server. The first argument is the name of the script as a string. The " +
"second argument is a string with the hostname or IP of the 'target server' on which to run the script. The specified script must exist on the target server. Returns " +
"true if the script is successfully started, and false otherwise. Does NOT work while offline
" +
"Example: exec('generic-hack.script', 'foodnstuff');
The example above will try to launch the script 'generic-hack.script' on the 'foodnstuff' server.
" +
"scp(script, hostname/ip)
Copies a script to another server. The first argument is a string with the filename of the script " +
"to be copied. The second argument is a string with the hostname or IP of the destination server. Returns true if the script is successfully " +
"copied over and false otherwise.
Example: scp('hack-template.script', 'foodnstuff');
" +
"hasRootAccess(hostname/ip)
Returns a boolean (true or false) indicating whether or not the Player has root access to a server. " +
"The argument passed in must be a string with either the hostname or IP of the target server. Does NOT work while offline.
" +
"Example:
if (hasRootAccess('foodnstuff') == false) {
nuke('foodnstuff');
}
" +
"getHostname()
Returns a string with the hostname of the server that the script is running on
" +
"getHackingLevel()
Returns the Player's current hacking level. Does NOT work while offline
" +
"getServerMoneyAvailable(hostname/ip)
Returns the amount of money available on a server. The argument passed in must be a string with either the " +
"hostname or IP of the target server. Does NOT work while offline
Example: getServerMoneyAvailable('foodnstuff');
" +
"getServerSecurityLevel(hostname/ip)
Returns the security level of a server. The argument passed in must be a string with either the " +
"hostname or IP of the target server. A server's security is denoted by a number between 1 and 100. Does NOT work while offline.
" +
"getServerRequiredHackingLevel(hostname/ip)
Returns the required hacking level of a server. The argument passed in must be a string with either the " +
"hostname or IP or the target server. Does NOT work while offline
" +
"fileExists(filename, [hostname/ip])
Returns a boolean (true or false) indicating whether the specified file exists on a server. " +
"The first argument must be a string with the name of the file. A file can either be a script or a program. A script name is case-sensitive, but a " +
"program is not. For example, fileExists('brutessh.exe') will work fine, even though the actual program is named BruteSSH.exe.
" +
"The second argument is a string with the hostname or IP of the server on which to search for the program. This second argument is optional. " +
"If it is omitted, then the function will search through the current server (the server running the script that calls this function) for the file.
" +
"Example: fileExists('foo.script', 'foodnstuff');
" +
"Example: fileExists('ftpcrack.exe');
" +
"The first example above will return true if the script named 'foo.script' exists on the 'foodnstuff' server, and false otherwise. The second example above will " +
"return true if the current server (the server on which this function runs) contains the FTPCrack.exe program, and false otherwise.
" +
"isRunning(filename, [hostname/ip])
Returns a boolean (true or false) indicating whether the specified script is running on a server. " +
"The first argument must be a string with the name of the script. The script name is case sensitive. The second argument is a string with the " +
"hostname or IP of the target server. The function will check whether the script is running on that target server. The second argument is optional. " +
"If it is omitted, then the function will check if the script is running on the current server (the server running the script that calls this function).
" +
"Example: isRunning('foo.script', 'foodnstuff');
" +
"Example: isRunning('foo.script');
" +
"The first example above will return true if there is a script called 'foo.script' is running on the 'foodnstuff' server, and false otherwise. The second " +
"example above will return true if there is a script called 'foo.script' running on the current server, and false otherwise.
" +
"purchaseHacknetNode()
Purchases a new Hacknet Node. Returns a number with the index of the Hacknet Node. This index is equivalent to the number " +
"at the end of the Hacknet Node's name (e.g The Hacknet Node named 'hacknet-node-4' will have an index of 4). If the player cannot afford to purchase " +
"a new Hacknet Node then the function will return false. Does NOT work offline
" +
"Hacknet Nodes API
" +
"Netscript provides the following API for accessing and upgrading your Hacknet Nodes through scripts. This API does NOT work offline.
" +
"hacknetnodes
A special variable. This is an array that maps to the Player's Hacknet Nodes. The Hacknet Nodes are accessed through " +
"indexes. These indexes correspond to the number at the end of the name of the Hacknet Node. For example, the first Hacknet Node you purchase " +
"will have the same 'hacknet-node-0' and can be accessed with hacknetnodes[0]. The fourth Hacknet Node you purchase will have the name " +
"'hacknet-node-3' and can be accessed with hacknetnodes[3].
" +
"hacknetnodes.length
Returns the number of Hacknet Nodes that the player owns
" +
"hacknetnodes[i].level
Returns the level of the corresponding Hacknet Node
" +
"hacknetnodes[i].ram
Returns the amount of RAM on the corresponding Hacknet Node
" +
"hacknetnodes[i].cores
Returns the number of cores on the corresponding Hacknet Node
" +
"hacknetnodes[i].upgradeLevel(n)
Tries to upgrade the level of the corresponding Hacknet Node n times. The argument n must be a " +
"positive integer. Returns true if the Hacknet Node's level is successfully upgraded n times, and false otherwise.
" +
"hacknetnodes[i].upgradeRam()
Tries to upgrade the amount of RAM on the corresponding Hacknet Node. Returns true if the " +
"RAM is successfully upgraded, and false otherwise.
" +
"hacknetnodes[i].upgradeCore()
Attempts to purchase an additional core for the corresponding Hacknet Node. Returns true if the " +
"additional core is successfully purchase, and false otherwise.
" +
"Example: The following is an example of one way a script can be used to automate the purchasing and upgrading of Hacknet Nodes. " +
"This script purchases new Hacknet Nodes until the player has four. Then, it iteratively upgrades each of those four Hacknet Nodes " +
"to a level of at least 75, RAM to at least 8GB, and number of cores to at least 2.
" +
"while(hacknetnodes.length < 4) {

" purchaseHacknetNode();
" +
"};
" +
"for (i = 0; i < 4; i = i+1) {

"While loops
" +
"A while loop is a control flow statement that repeatedly executes code as long as a condition is met.
" +
"while ([cond]) {

}
" +
"As long as [cond] remains true, the code block [code] will continuously execute. Example:

" +
"This while loop above is an infinite loop (continuously runs until the script is manually stopped) that repeatedly runs the 'hack('foodnstuff')' command. " +
"Note that a semicolon is needed at closing bracket of the while loop, UNLESS it is at the end of the code
" +
"For loops
" +
"A for loop is another control flow statement that allows code to be repeated by iterations. The structure is:
" +
"for ([init]; [cond]; [post]) {
code
};
" +
"The [init] expression evaluates before the for loop begins. The for loop will continue to execute " +
"as long as [cond] is met. The [post] expression will evaluate at the end of every iteration " +
"of the for loop. The following example shows code that will run the 'hack('foodnstuff');' command 10 times " +
" using a for loop:
" +
"for (i = 0; i < 10; i = i+1) {
hack('foodnstuff');
};
" +
" If statements
" +
"If/Elif/Else statements are conditional statements used to perform different actions based on different conditions:
" +
"if (condition1) {
code1
} elif (condition2) {
code2
} else {
" +
" code3
}
" +
"In the code above, first condition1 will be checked. If this condition is true, then code1 will execute and the " +
"rest of the if/elif/else statement will be skipped. If condition1 is NOT true, then the code will then go on to check " +
"condition2. If condition2 is true, then code2 will be executed, and the rest of the if/elif/else statement " +
"will be skipped. If none of the conditions are true, then the code within the else block (code3) will be executed. " +
"Note that a conditional statement can have any number of elif statements.
" +
"Example:
" +
"if(getServerMoneyAvailable('foodnstuff') > 200000) {
hack('foodnstuff');
" +
"} else {
grow('foodnstuff');
};
" +
"The code above will use the getServerMoneyAvailable() function to check how much money there is on the 'foodnstuff' server. " +
"If there is more than $200,000, then it will try to hack that server. If there is $200,000 or less on the server, " +
"then the code will call grow('foodnstuff') instead and add more money to the server.

TutorialTravelingText:"There are six major cities in the world that you are able to travel to:
" +
" Aevum
" +
" Chongqing
" +
" Sector-12
" +
" New Tokyo
" +
" Ishima
" +
" Volhaven
" +
"To travel between cities, visit your current city's travel agency through the 'World' page. " +
"From the travel agency you can travel to any other city. Doing so costs money.
" +
"Each city has its own set of companies and unique locations. Also, certain content is only available to you " +
"if you are in certain cities, so get exploring!",
TutorialJobsText: "Hacking is not the only way to gain money and experience! Located around the world are many " +
"different companies which you can work for. By working for a company you can earn money, " +
"train your various labor skills, and unlock powerful passive perks.
" +
"To apply for a job, visit the company you want to work for through the 'World' menu. The company " +
"page will have options that let you apply to positions in the company. There might be several different " +
"positions you can apply for, ranging from software engineer to business analyst to security officer.
" +
"When you apply for a job, you will get the offer if your stats are high enough. Your first position at " +
"a company will be an entry-level position such as 'intern'. Once you get the job, an button will appear on " +
"the company page that allows you to work for the company. Click this button to start working.
" +
"Working occurs in 8 hour shifts. Once you start working, you will begin earning money, experience, " +
"and reputation. The rate at which you money and experience depends on the company and your position. " +
"The amount of reputation you gain for your company is based on your job performance, which is affected by " +
"your stats. Different positions value different stats. When you are working, you are unable to perform any " +
"other actions such as using your terminal or visiting other locations (However, note that any scripts you have " +
"running on servers will continue to run as you work!). It is possible to cancel your work shift before the " +
"8 hours is up. However, if you have a full-time job, then cancelling a shift early will result in you gaining " +
"only half of the reputation " +
"that you had earned up to that point. There are also part-time/consultant jobs available where you will not " +
" be penalized if you cancel a work shift early. However, these positions pay less than full-time positions.
" +
"As you continue to work at a company, you will gain more and more reputation at that company. When your stats " +
"and reputation are high enough, you can get a promotion. You can apply for a promotion on the company page, just like " +
"you applied for the job originally. Higher positions at a company provide better salaries and stat gains.",
TutorialFactionsText: "Throughout the game you may receive invitations from factions. There are many different factions, and each faction " +
"has different criteria for determining its potential members. Joining a faction and furthering its cause is crucial " +
"to progressing in the game and unlocking endgame content.
" +
"It is possible to join multiple factions if you receive invitations from them. However, note that joining a faction " +
"may prevent you from joining other rival factions.
" +
"The 'Factions' link on the menu brings up a list of all factions that you have joined. " +
"You can select a Faction on this list to go to that Faction page. This page displays general " +
"information about the Faction and also lets you perform work for the faction. " +
"Working for a Faction is similar to working for a company except that you don't get paid a salary. " +
"You will only earn reputation in your Faction and train your stats. Also, cancelling work early " +
"when working for a Faction does NOT result in reduced experience/reputation earnings.
" +
"Earning reputation for a Faction unlocks powerful Augmentations. Purchasing and installing these Augmentations will " +
"upgrade your abilities. The Augmentations that are available to unlock vary from faction to faction.",
TutorialAugmentationsText: "Advances in science and medicine have lead to powerful new technologies that allow people to augment themselves " +
"beyond normal human capabilities. There are many different types of Augmentations, ranging from cybernetic to " +
"genetic to biological. Acquiring these Augmentations enhances the user's physical and mental faculties.
" +
"Because of how powerful these Augmentations are, the technology behind them is kept private and secret by the " +
"corporations and organizations that create them. Therefore, the only way for the player to obtain Augmentations is " +
"through Factions. After joining a Faction and earning enough reputation in it, you will be able to purchase " +
"its Augmentations. Different Factions offer different Augmentations. Augmentations must be purchased in order to be installed, " +
"and they are fairly expensive.
" +
"Unfortunately, installing an Augmentation has side effects. You will lose most of the progress you've made, including your " +
"skills, stats, and money. You will have to start over, but you will have all of the Augmentations you have installed to " +
"help you progress.
" +
"To summarize, here is a list of everything you will LOSE when you install an Augmentation:
" +
"Stats/Skills
" +
"Money
" +
"Scripts on all servers EXCEPT your home computer
" +
"Purchased servers
" +
"Hacknet Nodes
" +
"Company/faction reputation
" +
"Jobs and Faction memberships
" +
"Programs
" +
"TOR router
" +
"Here is everything you will KEEP when you install an Augmentation:
" +
"Every Augmentation you have installed
" +
"Scripts on your home computer
" +
"RAM Upgrades on your home computer",
Changelog:
"v0.20.0
" +
"-Refactored Netscript Interpreter code. Operations in Netscript should now run significantly faster (Every operation " +
"such as a variable assignment, a function call, a binary operator, getting a variable's value, etc. used to take up to several seconds, " +
"now each one should only take 750 milliseconds).
" +
"-Percentage money stolen when hacking lowered to compensate for faster script speeds
" +
"-Lowered base growth rate by 25%(which affects amount of money gained from grow())
" +
"-Hacking experience granted by grow() halved" +
"-Weaken() is now 10% faster, but only grants 3 base hacking exp upon completion instead of 5
" +
"-Rebalancing of script RAM costs. Base RAM Cost for a script increased from 1GB to 1.5GB. Loops, hack(), grow() " +
"and weaken() all cost slightly less RAM than before
" +
"-Added getServerRequiredHackingLevel(server) Netscript command.
" +
"-Added fileExists(file, [server]) Netscript command, which is used to check if a script/program exists on a " +
"specified server
" +
"v0.19.7
" +
"-Added changelog to Options menu
" +
"-Bug fix with autocompletion (wasn't working properly for capitalized filenames/programs
" +
"v0.19.6
" +
"-Script editor now saves its state even when you change tabs
" +
"-scp() command in Terminal/script will now overwrite files at the destination
" +
"-Terminal commands are no longer case-sensitive (only the commands themselves such as 'run' or 'nano'. Filenames are " +
"still case sensitive
" +
"-Tab automcompletion will now work on commands
" +
"v0.19
" +
"-Hacknet Nodes have slightly higher base production, and slightly increased RAM multiplier. " +
"But they are also a bit more expensive at higher levels
" +
"-Calling grow() and weaken() in a script will now work offline, at slower rates than while online (The script now " +
"keeps track of the rate at which grow() and weaken() are called when the game is open. These calculated rates " +
"are used to determine how many times the calls would be made while the game is offline)
" +
"-Augmentations now cost 20% more reputation and 50% more money
" +
"-Changed the mechanic for getting invited to the hacking factions (CyberSec, NiteSec, The Black Hand, BitRunners) " +
"Now when you get to the required level to join these factions you will get a message giving " +
"you instructions on what to do in order to get invited.
" +
"-Added a bit of backstory/plot into the game. It's not fully fleshed out yet but it will be " +
"used in the future
" +
"-Made the effects of many Augmentations slightly more powerful
" +
"-Slightly increased company job wages across the board (~5-10% for each position)
" +
"-Gyms and classes are now significantly more expensive
" +
"-Doubled the amount by which a server's security increases when it is hacked. Now, it will " +
"increase by 0.002. Calling weaken() on a server will lower the security by 0.1.
" +
"v0.18
" +
"-Major rebalancing (sorry didn't record specifics. But in general hacking gives more money " +
"and hacknet nodes give less)
" +
"-Server growth rate (both natural and manual using grow()) doubled
" +
"-Added option to Soft Reset
" +
"-Cancelling a full time job early now only results in halved gains for reputation. Exp and money earnings are gained in full
" +
"-Added exec() Netscript command, used to run scripts on other servers.
" +
"-NEW HACKING MECHANICS: Whenever a server is hacked, its 'security level' is increased by a very small amount. " +
"The security level is denoted by a number between 1-100. A higher security level makes it harder " +
"to hack a server and also decreases the amount of money you steal from it. Two Netscript functions, " +
"weaken() and getServerSecurityLevel() level, were added. The weaken(server) function lowers a server's " +
"security level. See the Netscript documentation for more details
" +
"-When donating to factions, the base rate is now $1,000,000 for 1 reputation point. Before, it was " +
"$1,000 for 1 reputation point.
" +
"-Monetary costs for all Augmentations increased. They are now about ~3.3 - 3.75 times more expensive than before

" +
"-The Neuroflux Governor augmentation (the one that can be repeatedly leveled up) now increases ALL multipliers by 1%. To balance it out, it's price multiplier when it levels up was increased
" +
"-Hacknet Node base production decreased from $1.75/s to $1.65/s
" +
"-Fixed issue with nested for loops in Netscript (stupid Javascript references)
" +
"-Added 'scp' command to Terminal and Netscript
" +

" +
"-Increased TOR Router cost to $200k
" +
"v0.16
" +
"-New Script Editor interface
" +
"-Rebalanced hacknet node - Increased base production but halved the multiplier from additional cores. This should boost its early-game production but nerf its late-game production
