BitNodes
|
||||
========
|
||||
A BitNode is an important part of the game's storyline. In the game, you discover
|
||||
what BitNodes are by following the trail of clues left by the mysterious jump3r
|
||||
(essentially a minimal questline).
|
||||
|
||||
What is a BitNode
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
A BitNode is the complex simulated reality in which you reside. By following the messages
|
||||
from jump3r, you discover that humanity was enslaved by an advanced alien race, called
|
||||
the Enders, using virtual simulations that trapped the minds of humans.
|
||||
|
||||
However, the Enders didn't just create a single virtual reality to enslave humans, but many
|
||||
different simulations. In other words, there are many different BitNodes that exist.
|
||||
These BitNode are very different from each other.
|
||||
|
||||
jump3r tells you that the only hope for humanity is to destroy all of these BitNodes.
|
||||
Therefore, the end goal for the player is to enter and then destroy each BitNode at least once.
|
||||
|
||||
Destroying a BitNode resets most of the player's progress but grants the player a
|
||||
powerful second-tier persistent upgrade called a :ref:`Source-File <gameplay_sourcefiles>`.
|
||||
Different BitNodes grant different Source-Files.
|
||||
|
||||
Each BitNode has unique characteristics that are related to varying backstories. For example,
|
||||
in one BitNode the world is in the middle of a financial catastrophe with a collapsing
|
||||
market. In this BitNode, most forms of income such as working at a company or Hacknet
|
||||
Nodes are significantly less profitable. Servers have less money on them and lowered
|
||||
growth rates, but it is easier to lower their security level using the weaken() Netscript function.
|
||||
|
||||
Furthermore, some BitNodes introduce new content and mechanics. For example there is one
|
||||
BitNode that grants access to the :ref:`Netscript Singularity Functions <netscript_singularityfunctions>`.
|
||||
There is another BitNode in which you can manage a gang to earn money and reputation.
|
||||
|
||||
How to destroy a BitNode
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Initially, the only way to destroy a BitNode is to join the Daedalus :ref:`Daedalus <gameplay_factions>`.
|
||||
From Daedalus, the player can obtain an Augmentation called 'The Red Pill', which doesn't cost any money
|
||||
but does require a good amount of faction reputation.
|
||||
|
||||
After installing 'The Red Pill', the player must search for and then manually hack a
|
||||
server called 'w0r1d_d43m0n'. This server requires a hacking level of 3000 in order
|
||||
to successfully hack it. This will destroy the player's current BitNode.
|
||||
|
||||
There is a second method of destroying a BitNode, but it must be unlocked by first
|
||||
destroying BitNode-6 or BitNode-7 (Bladeburners).
|
||||
|
||||
.. todo:: Link to Bladeburner documentation page here
|
||||
|
||||
When the player destroys a BitNode, most of his/her progress will be reset. This includes things
|
||||
such as Augmentations and RAM upgrades on the home computer. The only things that will persist
|
||||
through destroying BitNodes is:
|
||||
|
||||
* Source-Files
|
||||
* Scripts on the home computer

Intelligence
|
||||
============
|
||||
Intelligence is a :ref:`stat <gameplay_stats>` that is unlocked by having
|
||||
:ref:`Source-File 5 <gameplay_sourcefiles>` (i.e. Destroying BitNode-5).
|
||||
|
||||
Intelligence is unique because it is permanent and persistent. It never gets reset
|
||||
back to 1. However, gaining Intelligence experience is extremely slow. The methods
|
||||
of gaining Intelligence exp is also hidden. You won't know when you gain
|
||||
experience and how much. It is a stat that gradually builds up as you continue
|
||||
to play the game.
|
||||
|
||||
Intelligence will boost your production for many actions in the game, including:
|

|

* Hacking
|

* Infiltration
|

* Hacking Missions
|
||||
* Crime success rate

Sleeves
|
||||
=======
|
||||
When VitaLife unveiled their Persona Core technology that allowed people to digitize
|
||||
and transfer their consciousness into other vessels, human bodies became nothing more
|
||||
than 'sleeves' for the human consciousness. This technology thus became known as
|
||||
"Sleeve technology".
|
||||
|
||||
Sleeve technology unlocks two different gameplay features:
|
||||
|
||||
* Duplicate Sleeves
|
||||
* Re-sleeving
|
||||
|
||||
Sleeve technology is unlocked in :ref:`BitNode-10 <gameplay_bitnodes>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Duplicate Sleeves
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
Duplicate Sleeves are MK-V Synthoids (synthetic androids) into which your consciuosness
|
||||
has been copied. In other words, these Synthoids contain a perfect duplicate of your mind.
|
||||
|
||||
Duplicate Sleeves are essentially clones which you can use to perform work-type actions,
|
||||
such as working for a company/faction or committing a crime. When sleeves perform these tasks,
|
||||
they will earn money, experience, and reputation.
|
||||
|
||||
Sleeves are their own individuals, which means they each have their own experience and stats.
|
||||
|
||||
When a sleeve earns experience, it earns experience for itself, the player's
|
||||
original consciousness, as well as all of the player's other sleeves.
|
||||
|
||||
Synchronization
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Synchronization is a measure of how aligned your consciousness is with that of your
|
||||
Duplicate Sleeves. It is a numeral value between 1 and 100, and it affects how much experience
|
||||
is earned when the sleeve is performing a task.
|
||||
|
||||
Let N be the sleeve's synchronization. When the sleeve earns experience by performing
|
||||
a task, both the sleeve and the player's original host consciousness of N% of the
|
||||
amount of experience normally earned by the task. All of the player's other sleeves
|
||||
earn ((N/100)^2 * 100)% of the experience.
|
||||
|
||||
Synchronization can be increased by assigning sleeves to the 'Synchronize' task.
|
||||
|
||||
Sleeve Shock
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
Sleeve shock is a measure of how much trauma the sleeve has due to being placed in a new
|
||||
body. It is a numeral value between 0 and 99, where 99 indicates full shock and 0 indicates
|
||||
no shock. Shock affects the amount of experience earned by the sleeve.
|
||||
|
||||
Sleeve shock slowly decreases over time. You can further increase the rate at which
|
||||
it decreases by assigning sleeves to the 'Shock Recovery' task.

Source-Files
|
||||
============
|
||||
Source-Files are a type of persistent upgrade that are more powerful than Augmentations.
|
||||
Source-Files are received by destroying a BitNode. There are many different BitNodes
|
||||
in the game and each BitNode will grant a different Source-File when it is destroyed.
|
||||
|
||||
A Source-File can be upgraded by destroying its corresponding BitNode a second or
|
||||
third time (AKA playing through that BitNode again). It can be upgraded to a maximum
|
||||
of level 3.

||||
