Hey everybody!
 
Tired of the boring stuff in Virtonomics? You don't want to repair equipment anymore? Forcing all your subdivisions to go to training takes too much of your time? Setting the salary of your employees to the required amount is not fun? XioScript comes to the rescue! Never will you have to do these boring things again. Just set the options to your judgement, click on the execute button, and all subdivisions will be managed on your behalf. So you can focus your Virtonomics time on the interesting stuff.
 
This forum topic is the place where everything related to XioScript is discussed. In contrast to it's name, it is actually an add-on only supported on the Mozilla Firefox browser. Currently XioScript 14 is still in progress of being made, so if you want some additional functionality you should check out the older XioScript 12. My versions of XioScript 12 (12.0 and 12.1) are outdated and not working anymore, so instead you can pick up Cobr's 12.0.127 version that is working. Note that XioScript 12 really is a script, so a script add-on such as Tampermonkey is required to run, and they can run in other browsers than Firefox as well.
 
You can find the script/add-on here:
https://addons.mozilla.org/nl/firefox/addon/xioscript/
And please post any bugs, features or requests here:
https://github.com/XiozZe/XioScript/issues
 
Cobr's 12.0.127:

i agree but i feel it is also possible that this script could conflict with a paid service of HR . Since ever i was wondering why the column containing both the city salary and the paid salary % isn't sortable by that paid salary % as well. If it is we can easily do the training as above and i would not think it created any conflict.

Better ask Jane first to be sure then.
 
JANE!!!
 
My question: is it allowed to use a script to automatically train the employees of certain subdivisions?
 

Mike1
i am using the CTI script and it works well. So cool!
 
one concern i have is that since supply prices are fluctuating the sale price can be off again pretty fast without my knowledge. It could be solved by showing an indicator on the subdivision page based on a certain value.  For example if CTI is off more than 5% it will show the word "CTI" on that list, maybe green for paying to much and red for paying to little.

I don't think that scripting that will pay off... I'm sorry. The best thing you can do is set the price when all in the subdivision is stable. Or you can set the price higher; being sure the prime cost doesn't change is also an option.  
 

Mike1

 
I checked the script on a mill, the result isn’t correct; see the existing price is 1.05, the script would set it to 1 which is not correct:
 

A quick calculation:
 
Prime cost: $0.97
Profit tax: 27%
CTIE rate: 10%
 
CTIE to pay = 0.97 * (27/100) * (10/100) = $0.03 rounded up.   (The formula is from the CTIE rate page)
New Price = $0.97 + $0.03 = $1.00
 
That's what the script is doing.
Can you explain what is going exactly?

Has asked the administration about this. They answered, that their relation to use of such kind of scripts is not positive.
 
Some my comments. Better not to use such "massive-acting" scripts.

Will translate if needed. In general, that's about automatic building of units. All players using it were temporary banned, but were not penalized for the first time. Then 2 players who did continue to use the script were blocked again. All script-built units (1600 and 480) were deleted, companies were charged for additional 140 and 15 bln (quite significant amount of game cash at that time).
And there is a warning: "Later the penalties will be stronger, up to permanents blocking of the account".
 
Of course, scripts make playing easier and allow to save time. But I don't want to risk with my company using most of them. Do you? Well

That's why I use my own calculators and no scripts. Too much risk...
 
But, 1600 built units?!

Yes
Quality management innovation for size-2 factories was payed by game cash that time. And these companies built lots of such units to have this "free" 10% bonus. I'm not good in technical side. But if to imagine, that only 2 companies build 2000 units, then set them up, then the server does necessary operations with each unit during the update... I think, such massive expanding could cause "Server temporary unavailable" message. Very we!

The only 'script' i am using is that provided in this thread, which just gives me the Top 1-3 values in each subdivision (instead of coming to forums everytime and seeing the limit, i see them on my factory page).
 
I hope that's not prohibited?

If this should be prohibited, then I really would like to know about the developer's vision of this game. It is already hard enough to play it efficiently, given the lack of essential features and technological burdens. The community became creative and did what the dev's should really do: make the game more feasible and beginner friendly.
 
Mike posted an interesting table of how long it takes you to reach certain qualification levels, given that you max out every possible growthfactor. It takes multiple years to get you somewhere reasonable. Now assume you don't max out your growth potential, since you don't have the slightest idea how to do it. The game doesn't tell you how to do it. The wiki doesn't tell you how to do it. Nobody does, except the community. If the devs prohibit this, they can go and **** themselves. Commitment to something is fine, but I already invest so much time in this game, I'd like to know it's invested efficiently.

I guess it would be more like server being flooded by continual requests to build what would make the server become almost frozen. Other than that, it would just increase the time the update requires.
 
Also, I'm using that of the mini-factories for exploiting the "free" quality management innovation in my testing Lien account. It's more helpful at higher tech levels, and basically you require a warehouse for managing all supply orders. Now, the problem comes each time you rise a level and have to rearrange all supply contracts. To you Let's hope the testing is worth it on the long run...
 
Neeru, boi, relax. Whenever something "illegal" is done, they are the first to know about it. If you want to feel safer, use something that doesn't interact at all with the web browser, like a home-made calculator. But I agree with the non-noob-friendly growth, no one would be able to reach that growth with natural gameplay if they don't know about the internal working of the growth. I've been complaining about that since the beginning of my career in Virtonomics. To you

I think, not. I'm using it also. I think, risky is to use massive acting scripts, like mentioned above.

Hahah Neeru, my friend, chill. Though I agree about the non-friendly start, I think the devs have done as much as they could? (debatable to many).
But yes. In the beginning, you crap your pants when your efficiency goes down and there is no mention of it in the wiki page. I think almost all of us restarted once ONLY because of the efficiency issues (if not restarted, then we almost got bankrupted but just survived). So yes, a topic should be included in the wiki and it will work in the favor of the devs. Because less new players are likely to quit. And the more the players, the more chances of them buying and spending points.

Yeah sorry about the rage. I guess I am still a bit stirred up from the censoring in Xio's laboratory post a few weeks/months ago. I am just afraid that they might take away what I consider important. Those numbers shown by Xio's script here give me a sense of "you are doing it right" and that's what keeps me playing. I mean, come on, at some point of the game growth is everything that matters. You'll be swimming in so much cash you don't know how to spend it. The only way I can put the cash to work is by building more [everything] and keep up the Q growth.

why wouldn't such a general oversight right at the subdivision listing be paying off? I think this is general manager report material. The only other way to see that information is by visiting the financial report of every subdivision.

I have two problems with scripting this idea:
 
First the amount of server pressure. Every subdivision will need one Ajax call. That's in your case with all your factories and farms, hundreds of Ajax calls. And that every time you load your overview page? The server will definitely have problems with handling those calls.
 
The time is the second problem: the CTIE page takes a second to calculate the new price right? I have programmed that, so I know there are three ajax calls involved there. Do the math and you will see that your page need minutes to load, every time you open the page. I don't think you want that.
 
It is a great idea, but not in this format. If you have a solution for it I like to hear that.

Script updated for the power plant qualification!
 
And I still implanted some training though...
Because I feel the need for this is higher than the risks. I know most of you is at least 5 minutes of your virto-time busy with setting your workers training, and that's 5 hours after two months.
But, of course, Jane, if your administration receives a notice of increased server load because of this, or have any other reason to forbid this time saver, I will immediately remove the training part of the script.
