NS.grow() method

Use your hacking skills to increase the amount of money available on a server. The runtime for this command depends on your hacking level and the target servers 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 target servers growth rate (which varies between servers) and security level. Generally, higher-level servers have higher growth rates. The getServerGrowth() function can be used to obtain a servers growth rate.

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 also raises the security level of the target server by 0.004.

Signature:

grow(host: string, opts?: BasicHGWOptions): Promise<number>;

Parameters

Parameter Type Description
host string Hostname of the target server to grow.
opts BasicHGWOptions Optional parameters for configuring function behavior.

Returns:

Promise<number>

The number by which the money on the server was multiplied for the growth.

Remarks

RAM cost: 0.15 GB

Example

grow("foodnstuff");
grow("foodnstuff", { threads: 5 }); // Only use 5 threads to grow
