Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a MultiWorld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Executable Options

Shuffle Executables

Shuffles executables into the item pool. The player can't do ANYTHING without these, pretty much. Any executable not shuffled can be found and downloaded in its vanilla location. Shuffle All: Shuffle EVERY executable. Even the useless ones. Progression And Useful: Only shuffle progression and useful executables. (e.g., OpShell, ThemeChanger) Progression Only: Only shuffle progression executables. (e.g., FTPBounce, WebServerWorm) Disabled: Don't shuffle executables. The finale sequencer executable is never shuffled.

Executable Grouping

When shuffling executables, how should they be grouped? If set to a value other than Individually, all executables will be shuffled, regardless of classification. Individually: (Default) Every executable is its own item. Regional: Executables are grouped by region. (e.g., "Labyrinths Executables" is TorrentStreamInjector, SSLTrojan, etc.) Practicality: Executables are grouped by what they're used for. (e.g., Portcrushers, Aesthetics, etc.) Good for quick syncs.

FTPSprint Replaces FTPBounce

Completely removes FTPBounce from the item pool, replacing it with FTPSprint. If disabled, FTPBounce and FTPSprint will be two different items in the item pool. This ignores Shuffle Labyrinths. If Shuffle Executables is set to Disabled, this does nothing.

Optional Checks

Shuffle Steam Achievements

If enabled, actions that usually unlock Steam achievements will be added as location checks. ("Rude" is excluded, as the player is automatically put onto the /el Sec path after defeating Naix.) (If the player misses Quickdraw, they can get it again by starting a new save file.)

Shuffle PointClicker Upgrades

Adds PointClicker upgrades as checks and items. PointClicker upgrades only send a check the first time they're bought. This adds ~51 location checks. Block Upgrades: Every PointClicker upgrade is a check, but won't do anything when the player buys it. This forces the player to rely on PointClicker Passive items being sent to them. Only Checks: Every PointClicker upgrade is a check, and will actually upgrade when the player buys it. Disabled: (Default) Don't shuffle PointClicker, at all.

Admin Access as Checks

If enabled: whenever you are traced back or your in-game computer crashes, a deathlink is sent. DeathLinks are not sent for the crash caused by Striker. (But they are for Naix) A DeathLink in Hacknet will crash the player's (in-game) computer. If an ETAS is currently active, then the DeathLink is discarded.
