Played the heck out of this a few years ago until I found the mother of all automation scripts...which took all the fun out of it.

痛点
用户在使用 Bitburner 这款编程驱动的增量游戏时，面临的核心痛点在于自动化脚本可能过度优化，导致游戏失去乐趣。一位用户提到，他找到了“所有自动化脚本之母”后，游戏变得索然无味。这表明，在编程游戏中，玩家原本希望通过编写脚本提升效率、实现自动操作，但现有机制缺乏对自动化程度的有效约束或平衡，使得玩家一旦达到某个自动化水平，游戏的核心挑战和探索乐趣就消失了。这种设计缺陷造成了玩家心理上的失落感，即从主动参与变为被动观看，游戏体验从“玩”变成了“等”，从而降低了长期留存和满意度。

Woah! I loved this game on Steam. If anyone likes factory games (Satisfactory or Factorio) and programming this is a must try. Also got a bit of idle game in the mix. Surprisingly immersive too for a mostly text game.

I've been playing this via Steam and having a lot of fun. It's very satisfying that you start simple and when you discover a new way you cleanly reset and do it better next run.

This is a fantastic game, I’ve played many hours of it. If you want a programming based video game this could be really fun for you.

For anyone coming back, the 3.0 release this month changed some APIs (so you'll need to update your scripts) but also added a new Darknet mechanic.
