yeah i was looking at the source of luajit's prng and it looks like it just converts the bit pattern into a uint64_t and uses that as the real seed
is it known if there are any seeds where the 8 character portion of the seed hits nan somewhere within the seed itself?
oh this was known already didn't realize that
How do you check the seed of your run?
For an unseeded run, it only appears when you win or lose the run. For a seeded run, it also appears in the pause menu
If you are really curious you can make a copy of your run save and intentionally lose the run to find the seed, or wait until the run ends
I know it's a long shot, but anyone know of a seed that's got observatory, baron, perkeo, and everything else that helps/copies those jokers?
fun seed
7?!
Ik this seed has been posted before but I had some fun with it and I realized too late that copying mime once was worth way more than an extra baron.
Trubadore and showman were the heros of this run. Trubadore allowed me to use an extra ectoplasm
Where did you find the gas? I only got to having 2 bp with bloodstone was the best I saw, had several red seal steel kings but I couldn't beat up to even ante 8
TUKNMEW2 early bloodstone and an eternal blueprint in ante 1
if playing ghost deck, DO NOT USE THE ANKH THAT APPEARS IN ANTE 3 SHOP
"I'm literally a fool, what's your excuse?"
did you ankh into BP and died to no actual jokers
everything triggers š¤£
Donāt forget to use deathcard
kinda good without that legendary guy that makes negative consumables
Idk if it has brainstorm/Blueprint
It has brainstorm
Looking for non experimental tho sadly. I'm on console
Oh
does anyone know if seeds are them same between the experimental patch and live or is it different
Mostly diffrent, i mean u get some of the "perks" from the seed but not the same thing
oh yeah one thing i've noticed, and this is probably known etc, etc
the game literally cannot generate a seed with an O in it
yea O/I/S being treated as the same character as 0/1/5 in seeds is standard i think
interesting
It could actually generate a seed with an S in it it looks like
random_string() has a carveout for O but not for anything else
but maybe those will later get converted to an 0/1/5
and if i'm reading the code correctly it doesn't do any character replacement on seeds that contain O/I/S when loading them
that is weird then
0 is translated to o
Because they look the same with the games font
That's the only one
It could use any string as a seed theoretically
You could paste the entire game code as the seed and it wouldnāt cause any errors
Someone's gotta make that longer seeds mod
I mean, I'm talking about what random_string() would output when called the way it's called
oh uh
that's a bit wild
I think seeds generate 0 and not O?
oh never mind they will generate neither
yeah
Each character has a 30% chance of being 1-9, a 38.5% chance of being A-N, and a 31.5% chance of being P-Z
is it possible to keep holding r to refresh erratic until you get a glitched seed like the all 10s or whatever?
two things: 1. every erratic glitched seed is going to be all 10s, because of the nature of the bug
2. there are not very many of those seeds
as an aside i'm currently doing a Turbo Bad Seed search and i hope i hit something
turbo bad seed search?
yeah in this case i'm looking for seeds where length 15 rng types hit nan during the seed
So oops all planet cards?
found one with 9 9s, gonna hope i get cloud 9 lol
I think the effects of this would be: 10 of spades bug, shuffle is the same every time, some other stuff (i think every Standard pack opened in ante 0-9 would contain only enhanced cards)
This one might be what you want? It 10 of spades and does all holo
oh huh
And SomeDumDum also searched several other prefix lengths
the xeq one?
this one doesn't have shuffle is the same, but there is one with that
oh yeah if it hits it on the 8th digit wouldn't that do shuffle is the same?
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1221492502096515276
Thereās also this one with spectrals only on ghost deck
maybe i'm misunderstanding what's going on here but if it hits nan on the 8th digit that should cause the shuffle to repeat also, right
the prefix for shuffle isnāt shuffle though, itās something else like nr<ante> iirc
Thereās a bunch of prefixes in the Immolate source code if you want to test some more out
Also do be mindful there may be other things attached to just the base
I've checked 1-12 and 25 length prefixes, couldn't find anything else interesting. If I want to find more it would probably be using an immolate filter like the buggy erratic one.
Yeah, although those break in a more limited way (after the specific prefix - so it would only affect that and likely only for an ante)
that's true, but that's our only option if there is an oops all rare jokers seed
I tried writing a filter at some point but the seed it found wasn't buggy so I'm pretty sure I did it wrong
does immolate have an option to do like, an "as-if" search
so like in my case I was searching 7 character prefixes but i was calculating the hash as if they were 15 characters (incorrectly in my case, because I was looking for an nr seed)...
You could probably pass your input directly into pseudohash() to achieve something like that
Like do pseudohash(āgarbageā+SEED) (but whatever equivalent I made for string concatenation
VYYFUASE win with this one gold stake
T9arc32p balatro university played on this seed with perkeo and observatory. Pretty sure he gets a decently early baron as well but I don't remember cuz I believe he sold it cuz he was going for all Cavendish plus observatory build
AXWTQS9W posted this seed couple days ago but it was messed up because the s and 5 look very similar in balatro so the seed was wrong when I posted it here originally
Blueprint and brainstorm storm in first shop if you skip first two blinds
T4HD4Q3I dna which can be ankhed at a spectral pack, later brainstorm
dna is from initial spectral pack wraith
One time that I will only use so much planet cards
using that seed unlocker mod, got a pretty cool run that gives you only rare jokers and jumbo spectral packs in ante 1-9
do you have to type the entire thing including oops all rare?
The Oops! All Rare part can be any set of characters as long as it is the same amount
123456789012345E9V9RQCR would also work
its not even letting me add more than 8 digits?
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1229891707793969265
You need this mod
ohhh my bad
lol nice
Double polycrome Vampire, Midas mask, Pareidolia - RUN š±: HWAAYNX6
does a seed's shop slots change if you use a deck that affects shops instead of the one you originally used?
I played a seed on anaglyph on black stake and it had a mime in the first pack and an ankh in the second on the same shop, and then I rerolled a few times and found an invisible joker pretty quick, so I decided to die and try it on white stake on ghost deck. I've gone through several shops and haven't found the invisible
Does anyone have a seed that could easily get me $400? It is the last joker I need for a complete set
seeded runs dont get unlocks
you can't use seeds for that
It affects the ordering of the items. Maybe the invis joker is the fifth joker in ante 1, but with ghost deck changing the card types you donāt have time to reach it with that deck, since thereās more non-joker cards in the shop
seems to be different on the current experimental build. blueprint and driverslicence. but still pretty cooked seed. got a perkeo, dna, and planeterium as the run continued. made it to ante 12 before a spades debuff killed my steel card duping
I actually figured out that it was because I skpped for "rerolls start at 0" the first time. When you do that, it actually adds like 5 extra screens instead of just letting you reroll the normal screens, which is a little annoying because it meant it was impossible for me to get that invisible joker.
I found a seed with a soul spectral card at the very first arcana pack if someone wants to try it the seed is:J811VMU7
How to change the game language?
can someone find a seed with early perkeo and then an early red seal poly card or if it exists, reply to me to it
idk where to put this exactly but I did run the effective RNG balatro uses through pracrand and feeding pseudoseed into math.random does test better than either pseudoseed or math.random does by itself. pseudoseed fails after 128KB/32000 iterations, math.random fails after 512KB/130000 iterations, and the combination fails after 24M/6 million iterations (about on par with xoroshiro128+)
Anaglyph deck, save them til you get a nice money one you can skip x8 or something, I did it first time. Winning in 12 rounds or less is what Iām struggling with now
Anyone got any advice?
TA53HGMF on magic deck allows for 3 blue seal cards from a mega spectral pack, resulting in a level 35 flush by ante 8
FEAPGH7C perkeo
if we glitch spectrals to always be the same what will that same be
invis joker is there as well as sixth sense
farther on
if you mean default spectral, it's incantation
H3K9L3E2 found this seed where perkeo is in the first skip tag and blueprint is in the first shop of ante 2, first time posting hello
(nvm i had a bug in my code)
Is this on experimental or regular released version
Just found a double blueprint dna/hologram seed I had a lot of fun with
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1230587749028073502
regular release
no like with the glitch. like the 10 of spades glitch.
Itāll go into the reroll queue⦠and then it wonāt be the same
The game puts The Soul and Black Hole in the same list but has separate logic for spawning them, so itāll just reroll when it hits one of those
with ghost deck i think it'd keep being the same until two spectrals in the shop
Got Yorick pretty early on so this run was so good
I don't think I'll make it through this ante so I'm taking a screenshot now
The seed is ACE (I just wanted to try it cause it's my nickname š)
So close š (I just needed to pull my last 2 Aces)
Final stats :3
double merry andy and yorick could be cool
ew
no
did you atcually at everyone
ok
nvm
2E9X27IE using a bug with yorick where you obtain it on version 1.0.0n and use it on the beta for 5x mult for every 23 cards discarded
blueprint after showman on ante 11
are there any only aces seeds like the all 10 of spades seed?
FQ382E8E best on ghost deck, oops all 6s in first shop, ankh in a spectral pack
bloodstone is also there somewhere
K8HSRHEP Got a seed that has a first shop with Clearance Voucher, a Half Joker, and a spectral pack ouija that makes the whole stack queens. Second shop has a Zany Joker (hand contains 3oak) and both celestial packs have a Venus. Yellow deck and first two blinds gives you just enough to buy it all.
4143N4EQ 5x triboulet. also has sock and buskin, cainio, and 3x polychrome bananas (lol)
That's a lot of tribs
yeah it was a crazy run. if i had more time i'd spend some time and optimize it.
public beta: 965M24GA skip the first two blinds, beat the boss, free holographic riff-raff. Buffoon with business card and lusty; arcana has chariot, star, hermit, heiro, moon.
Can have three heiros at this point if the first skip took emporer for the heiro+tower, use heiro, then grab fool.
Riff raff gives holo credit card on next blind.
Was there a scam bot?
Holy
got a seed with a three wraiths very early on, will put it here when i get the chance
KNCQZ5U9, ghost deck
W8AA1TIW
PHGEMSJE ghost deck, have an early polychrome madness start
Moving on to endless
is anyone on the new patch that i can find a seed for that new eye ball that gives tarot cards and i can use opps all 6s?
nvm i got a good non seeded 8 ball magic deck run
Z5VT25YM Canio + Chicot two souls one shop (1.0.0)
Seed for 3 Yorick Jokers and new 8 ball run. The two extra Yorick came from invisible and there the new ones
Honestly one of the more fun runs cause I donāt think I do big mult jokers
Checkered btw
Do seeds work on modded versions of the game
Yesnāt
Any modded content will modify what you get for the type of things it modifies
ex. a mod that adds legendary jokers will change the legendary jokers you get in runs, a mod that adds tarots will change the tarots you get in runs, etc.
The rest stays the same pretty much
This adds new jokers, packs, and a consumable card type
Then those would all change
But something like the 10 of spades seed will still be the 10 of spades seed unless you add new ranks or suits to the deck
I would love if someone could guide me on a op run
What are you looking for?
this is brainstorm shop 1 yorick shop 2
i'll be sure to post seed after lol
then invis joker
come on
Like something to learn the concepts, fun to play and easy, iāve played a couple of the OP seeds but since i have no idea how most of the jokers work, i dont get high scores
My most high score is 9million only xdd
Hmm, in that case I'd say just play unseeded runs with yellow deck and try out the different effects
But I can give you a seed if you have something in mind - maybe something with an early economy joker?
XB68LWSD
Watch balatro university, though if you are talking about high scores specifically and donāt want it learn about how to improve on deck building then just try and get a run with Barron and mime then get a lot of red seal steel kings
Z88TA8HN double burnt joker from mega spectral pack by choosing wraith and then ankh, ended up being able to almost 1 shot leaf by selling no jokers and having no scoring jokers (experimental patch)
what did yorick get to
55x
I put in "banban" as a joke what the hell is going on-
(for context there was a bloodstone in one of the first shops with a spectral pack that had ecto-plasm)
Its hard to get baron xd
this seed starts off with double brainstorm but then i lost to unlucky draw order lol
used all discards and didn't draw a single diamons
Technically yes, though when yii get better at deck manipulation and can build a lot of red seal golds and purple seal cards to get a lot of money it isnāt that bad
do u have a seed to practice? would apreciate it very much!!!!!
Personally I donāt really have an example of a seed but if you follow the basics of opening most packs to get purple or red seals then using tarots to delete the bad cards and clone/make good ones you can turn most seeds into really good runs
Try to have it so 2 out of 5 jokers are utility so basically jokers that will give you money or tarots
@real solstice i might have skipped first tag so 'first shop' is the second and second is third
but brainstorm was in a pack iirc and yorick in the tarot pack obviously
thank you
do seeds matter per deck?
If anyone is interested in exploring a potential non-endless infinite hand seed, L4EFV deserves some exploration: Negative perkeo in first shop followed by immediate Ankh, Blueprint and Mime in Ante 2, Brainstorm around Ante 5, Cryptid in Ante 3 I believe (using Ghost Deck)
Didn't find a baron so I didn't get NanInf, but I also didn't optimize Temperance's and Fools and I've only tried it once, so it seems pretty possible to get a low round infinite hand
The seed sounds nice, although non endless nan e inf was already reached by (at least) 2 people on 2 different seeds
Could be a new round record though
I know someone hit ante 7 naneinf but this could save a round or two maybe
Maybe 
that's what i was thinking, I'm still digging for better stuff though
I just had my first really good seed - Stencil, Legendary, and a Wheel of Fortune that hits all in the first round iirc
I'm not sure how far someone who's actually good at the game can take it
in ante 3 or 4, Wheel of Fortune hits a second time so you can potentially have Polychrome Stencil AND Polychrome Yorick
not a bad start here either...
Ok so we're saying that Ante 6 naneinf would be WR?
because this is what I've got on my first try with this seed:
I only JUST got the lucky gat after rerolling a little. Anyone think this would be a good seed to post?
I found baron ante 4 and second mime ante 8
Seed: 8PVWD - e95 on round 17, so close yet so far...
First skip perkeo on 100 ... black gold is agony
Does it have any -ante vouchers my run only had 1 and it was too late
Like if on my seed the -1 ante before ante 8 then I could have gotten it on 6 so a tie could be possible also you got your cryptid a whole ante earlier than I was able to
yeah I think that's part of the problem with that seed, needs more -1 ante vouchers - I should probably start adding that as a parameter for the seeds I search
I still want to try and see what round I can get it to since rn 23 is the record
was that you?
I'll keep working on finding us seeds that have potential, right now I'm starting by looking for perkeo seeds that spawn hieroglyph and petroglyph
Yea, I was able to find mine just randomly when spam resetting for 1st perkeo
well done, I'm out here writing c++ code like a nerd
Yea I was a bit lucky
I'm thinking the most important things besides hieroglyph/petroglyph are an early blueprint/brainstorm/invisible_j (maybe ankh), early cryptid, and pretty early mime and baron - anything else I should include?
I would love to do an op seed in call with someone, i keep doing things wrong hahahahaha
Balatro University was talking about reloading your saves so you can try different rerolls and whatnot - do you guys know how you find your save data on windows?
%appdata% then balatro then maybe some folder labeled 1
Not sure exactly but you need to go though there
When routing i recommend getting a save for the start of an ante and then one for the start of each shop/round
Then you spend all you money throughout the ante to see what is in the shop then when you find something write how many retooled it takes to get there then restart and spend as little as possible
so do I duplicate the file at the bottom and delete if I want to go back?
Yea just throw it in a different folder
And make a note pad that looks something like this to make sure you remember everything
Also when routing a seed things like purple seals, and making your kings all gold before silver at the end is very important
On my run I had like 9 purple seal cards and only 4 steel cards since you donāt really need many
And things like immolate to clone very early or even temperance is also ideal since you can build very good Econ and get and extra like 10+ refills each ante
so getting a medium and immolate is necessary to getting a wr you think?
Honestly purple seal probably just because you donāt want to hold on to death and charots at the least between rounds
And good for Econ with temperance and hermits
Though thatās what Iām best with so I do want to try out the seed you found, also the game only saves when you reroll shop, click next buttons, discard, play hand, and open packs so you can do stuff like sell invis joker and if itās not what you want just leave to main menu and come back
I think if you optimize 8PVWD for econ so you can find a mime, it has a chance at ante 6
actually it has a mime, but not enough cryptids early enough
If you're so interested, I made these simple savestates during the demo with windows cmd stuff, it's (probably) the best there is as of now, until someone creates savestates mod or they're officially added to the game
You unzip it and put it in the folder that's on your screenshot. During run, you click save state 1, then continue playing. When you need to load that state, you go to main menu, click load state 1, and only then open continue run menu. It should still work, though I didn't test it for the full game yet (didn't have the need)
oh sick thanks!
should look like this
is there a seed with like 2 or 3 oops all 6's? (if it sounds like a stupid question. it is, but oops is my fav joker)
Anyone else here do "pseudo daily" seeds? I like putting "DDMMYY" into the seed, todays being 210424
You can probably do full date with year being 2024
True, but that means a 20 is always in the seed for another 76 years
not that it really matters either way
pretty good run, but I screwed myself by not realising I entered The Mouth and that killed me
I could have easily beaten Ante 8
just need to wait 24 hours until tomorrows "daily"
update on seed i gave yesterday
retried on white stake
got to ante 24
probably could go higher bc i found a 2nd ecto at ante 23
24 š®
thats insane
dont know how to route tho
is there some tutorial on how to make a save state or whatever its called
also
this was on the beta
nvm
there is a tutorial right above
naneinf ante 7.
Invis joker ante 3 after opening 5 wraith.
damb
Nice! Same seed as last night?
this is the second ante 7 nan inf i think
someone needs to do inf on plasma
i think it might be possible on ante 6 on plasma
nan inf any percent speed run when?
real
the problem is that it's harder to get cryptid if you're not using ghost deck
would 6th sense or seance be better at that point
is my only question
I can look into getting an early cryptid from sixth sense and seance in plasma though!
@whole jacinth the one problem with that seed is that there's no hieroglyph in the shops, but maybe it's worth seeing if there are any voucher tags?
it still is a better round than my run
when i get time i definetly want to try the seed out
How do i improve from here?
unless you already have them you should have am decent bit of purple seal cards and then just clone your red seal kings
use an ectoplasm is possible to
basicaly the pregression should be like purple seals cards to get more gold cards then teh gold cards gives you money for good jokers then when you get good jokers you turn thoes gold cards into steel
so like around where you are at now should be mostly red seal golds if possible and then in like an ante or 2 is around when yuo turn them steel but you already have good jokers so you can do that now
Ok cool I've been trying to learn high score strategies so I appreciate the advice
also if you want to try for naneinf then you should use ghost deck then go for perkeo but rn you look like you are playing well enough to get there. you could also if you get perkeo use the moon voucher for a lot of high card planet cards instead of cloneing cryptids
Ill have to look into that cuz I would love to hit naneinf
This was as far as I could make it, thanks for the tips!
is that seeded or unseeded
and how many mimes barons blue prints and brainstorms do you have i cant from all the negatives
and finally
do you have dna
this is a very cool run i must admit tho, hopefully it ddoesnt seem that i'm being pesimistic
DVUN9Q75
polychrome perkaeo in first arcana
my friend managed to get naneinf
triboulet first mega arcana pack, gold stake winner
8IPP3FXW chicot and canio, not very exciting but it is double legendaries
Hahah sorry I am just seeing this now, I finished with two Barons, a mime, two brainstorms and a blueprint, there were a couple of Dna's offered through out but I only used one for like 2 turns because I had found an invis and didn't want to duplicate the dna, wasn't even needed this run tbh
And yes it was seeded
The negatives weren't any good if u wanna run the seed I recommend black deck
5DNWYJNP
orginially from @arctic scaffold
Oh and keep your kings different suits cuz I ran into a couple suit debuffs before I got the boss reroll voucher
LH9ZV8SF for Perkeo and Chicot in first two Skip packs, some other good cards in there but those are what stood out to me
7S86RHYC for a BP/BS cert + hologram combo at like, ante 6
Only thing that i would do if i could(tho you were right for removing it when u got invis) is brainstorms and blueprints on dna essentially for extra hand size ergo more triggers
theres a negative dna in this run but i have a skill issue
was this on the beta pach?
how does this work?
you can read the cmd files, but it just copies the save.jkr to savestates folder
and loads it
ah then you just double click?
yea
alr thx
it's very basic, but yeah
nah its sick saves time on draging back and forth though folders
š«”
also these 2 files just change name
in case you forget which one did you load/save
no this was on pre-patch
Whats the furthest someone has gone without perkeo
For ne its currently ante 24
Me
Ante 39 seeded has been done Perkeo less
is that the nan inf ante?
does anyone have a seed with a bunch of clubs???? if so dm me it i'm trying to get the perfect seed for onyx
M55XIA41 try this seed guys š
Oh yea btw when searching for seeds you also kinda need ante 3 criptid and/or the repeat jokers joker
Yeah Iāve been including those that also find perkeo in the first two antes and hieroglyph, doesnāt find a lot of seeds though and there always seems to be something that doesnāt come in time, whether thatās baron, temperance or something else - that being said it could be just a skill issue 
Yes
Has a seed been found for duping steel kings with red seals?

I just got a seed for a early DNA, Mime and Baron, wich took me to ante 11, but I'm bad at the game so I'm pretty sure someone can do batter than me (CK7P9HMZ)
It doesn't have a lot of spectral packs, but it does have a lot of planet and arcana, but because me econ was trash I only started buying than after ante 6
heh when
Ig it was plasma but still surprising, didn't see that one
For anyone who wants to have a fun bloodstone run, have this seed

J3TW5T8C space joker in shop after ante 1 boss, eternal, ankh in shop if on ghost deck, perkeo also shows up, eternal baron and a regular mime also show at some point, blueprint appears but it was perishable
does anyone know any erratic seed with a bunch of club cards? weird request but i want to try a build out in ideal conditions
can someone tell me where the first idol joker is in this seed U321EF6B
is there an easy way to find that? I rerolled literally 336 times, and don't recall seeing it even once
Fun canio seed with invisible joker
ok it's done.
just had to copy ecto and more wraith.
sheesh what seed?
L4EFV
First round 18 naneinf, nice!
round 18 is crazy
imagine if that seed had heiro and petro
ante 4 inf
i wonder if this seed might be better than mine for earliest inf
is it on beta?
no
when did you get the barron?
ante 4. here's where everything is
i have a feeling that there's such a thing as too specific when it comes to a seed but i'll shoot my shot anyways: is there a seed that just has Ride the Bus early? i need it for a video
nevermind: M5J6RPGL - literally nothing special it's just ride the bus early, new patch
first shop in the guaranteed buffoon pack, ride the bus
not putting this in the forum because it's literally just for me getting ride the bus
i just know for a FACT someone's gonna want this at some point in the future
do you guys have any seed with a really early polychrome card ?
Hey congrats on WR! Glad that seed worked out!
Bro..... This guy just played balatro thrice and set a WR? Tf
Min maxing need to be nerfed
So optimizing gameplay should be nerfed? Do you realize how dumb that sounds
SR1VFMXA - There is a Soul inside the Mega Arcana Pack that is given to you by skypping the first small blind, quick blueprint and temperance maybe there is something here. However I'm not a professional cooker like DrSpectred but I reach Ante 14 easily by doing a lot of mistake and not taken some great joker.
Hope you guys enjoy it !
Huh ?!
He played more than thrice
At least like 10 times
He got past blue stake
Cause he has plasma
Or if you believe he had a save with unlock all
He got to at least black stake
They used to call him the gambling king, back in college
1 no
2 what do you even mean wr? the only wr he got was highest on HIS SEED (doesn't count for streamer seed challenge)
3 most of the hardest parts of the run were pathed out meticulously by anonjolteon over the course of many days, so no, he did NOT 'play thrice', he (after having played the game off stream for a lot of time) used a plan concocted over many sessions
4 what do you even mean by nerfed? that makes literally no sense
Does using a seed invalidate achievement hunting?
Yes
so arums argument is even stupider
yeah like he beat... the one who did the legwork by 1 ante and 1 blind >.>
it was funny to fall asleep to though xP
WDDJFVAF - ##my 1st Reddeck W ~i havent gone back to look at anything yet~
ALWN6AZU big blind arcana skip has perkeo, and invis joker shows up at some point in ante 2 or 3
You really realize how dumb it sound and still believe I said that seriously?
thats a prime example of damage control right there
I'm finding I've got way better runs using a "daily seed" like todays 250424
best hand wasnt that high, but it ended up being a pretty neat run. Got a polychrome Rough Gem + Brainstorm and started to rake in the cash once most of my deck was converted to diamonds
they should just take min maxing out of the game
just turn it off
Just disable seeds⦠and when your run is going too well just crash the game
minmaxxing is more of a personal thing, I get why people do it, but in the case of certain seeds, you get people who just give you a 50 step guide of exactly how to play that seed to reach e. That extent of minmaxxing feels a little silly (you might as well just install a mod that gives you 100,000 mult each hand)
got into balatro recently and seen all the seed searching and strats and what not, are they all just people exploring seeds and seeing the shops? or are people actually rng manipulating to get those crazy seeds?
in any game, if your minmaxxing results in you just treating the game like an excel spreadsheet, that doesnt seem like theres much value there
There is some RNG manipulation with reroll queues, but compared to other games itās a little limited
i see
https://mathisfun0.github.io/The-Soul/
Thereās tools like this to view a seed route though
And also search seeds
interesting
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209513992519946250
If youāre curious about some of the crazy seeds, many come from searches with Immolate
Others are just a min-maxing battle (as you may have seen from streamers like RTGame playing seeds with their username) or other lucky finds
huh yeah makes sense these tools exist
i thought of doing some silly tool that would read the balatro memory for the randomizer's seed and then be able to predict whatever happens in real time, assuming it's that easily predictable of rng
If you can grab the seed from memory then something like The Soul should be able to do the job well
I hope ppl donāt backseat streamers with this (you can see the seed after ante 8)
yeah i mean ppl would backseat kind of either way
i thought of even going as far as like, using it to predict what cards would come next
then it could predict what hands are actually available
if that's even possible
hardest challenge for balatro viewers is not telling the streamer to buy X joker (especially when that joker isnt even in the shop)
or "this is my favourite joker so you need to buy it, doesnt matter that your run doesnt favour that joker"
sometimes seeds are also a combo of people using the searcher/analyzer and optimizing the seed
the world record seed has been improved like 8 times since its been found its truly crazy
i think the first record with the seed was like e70k something and now its up to like e2.8m, theres alot of potential for improvement with skill in the game
People reached unimaginable scores with that, yep
btw math you didnt update your sheet
Oh let me do that quickly
i'm sorry, e2.8 million?
you slacking math
yes xd
good lord
Send the pic Project666
i was sure people will somewhat stop at naneif but i guess that makes sense
But related to that, Iād say that routing and running a seed feels a lot more like TASing then playing a run
balatro tas when
TAS tools are in development actually
there is a balatro tas xd
oh!
Thereās a mod that can replay inputs but not one that can record human inputs yet
man everything's been done already
I plan on adding a logging system to my speedrun security/timer mod which will also allow saving inputs to be played back by Balatrobot
btw i plan on optimizing the filter thats used for these seeds so once 1.0.1 drops to stable you can expect improvements again to the record
thats if players are willing to run it
since i aint that good that ill be able to take a run that far
Jeno47 and Trousers have really pushed the game to its limits, wouldnāt be surprised to see them go even further with a new seed

also, how do people do mods? do people just like decompile balatro?
you cana lso see how much of this comes from optimizing a single seed
Trousers was just posting every improvement while I imagine jeno just holding out for the mega run
Only to get beaten again xd
xd
Yes i believe you were about to die on that hilll and decided you didnt wanna die
It's a theoretical calculation
Based on how many king cards with barons and mimes and the Level of the hand
It's what the score would have been if playing these hands didn't crash the game
Yes, this is what the calculation would be if the gameās numbers could handle it
That sounds annoying af to calculate
Not really, I'm not too good with the math but math knows how to calculate it
I think he just plugs it into a desmos calculator and he gets the results
Oh
Still annoying
Whats desmos's limit
Not as annoying though
On that note
Whats the formula for ante scaling
I forgot off the top of my head, can pull it up from the code later
But the first 8 ante values are preset, then it scales hyperexponentially
tf is hyper exponentially
likex^t^t
a bit faster than exponentially
I think itās something like x^t^1.2?
not that fast
That is way faster
whats x and t tho
x is some constant and t is ante
ah
so more like
if we're being super math nerds
b^x^1.2
This post is pretty old but iirc something similar is what the game uses currently
cwasy
any clue what k is
also whats joker role
It was given out during the demos to people localthunk found ācoolā
ah
I think itās 100x then 1000x then 10000x and so on
Per ante?
So thats like k*((a-8)^(10^(a-8))
Ante=a
K is the blind on ante 8
Right?
No
Whatever
Its crazy
12345 is actually a crazy seed on the erratic deck. You get trio early, then duplicate it with a spectral pack. Later on you get blueprint + brainstorm + invisible joker. I ended up getting rid of both trios for lucky cat and got oops all 6s and got up past x40 mult
I just saw on the subreddit that there is a bug on beta right now where you can get a buffon pack in the first shop (on jokerless) which means you can get uncommon or even rare jokers can someone find a seed with negative baron in the starting buffoon pack?
hello fellow seed enjoyers, ive got a quick mechanical question about queue RNG. i know that the shop and pack rng is dependant on the Ante youre on, but i dont know if that's also the case for other sources of randomness (Tarots that create stuff, Enhancement RNG, Jokers with probabilites, etc.). is there a list of what is and isnt Ante-based randomness?
If you donāt know, itās probably ante based. Things that arenāt used very often are the only remnants of non ante-based RNG
and legendary jokers in the new version
wow, interesting. thanks
are card draws in a blind ante-based RNG or not then, for example?
Ante-based
wheel rng isnt ante seeded is it
it isnt
lucky, glass, wheel, perkeo, invis, ouija, sigil, wheel, banana, cavendish, grim, incantation, familiar, space joker
I'd assume 8ball too but didn't check
SJWZGSBN - this was a great seed
I thought they were round based
Try skipping on a set seed :)
I meant like
Previous rounds hands dont change the next rounds card order
They donāt
Oh ok
But itās still ante based instead of round based
Nothing was ante based in the first demo
So the advice from that Skoottie vid for routing wouldnāt apply now
well yeah ik that
is there a way to see seed after missing the end screen?
only in save files or by dying
6TTB6X3W = 2 legendary plus Invisible joker seed
Hi, is there a good written resource for how seeded runs can be routed and optimized? I figured I don't want to reinvent the wheel.
I was exploring a seed yesterday on the experimental version and this morning something changed in the seed (was supposed to get a bloodstone early, now nowhere to be found). Was there an update or something?
Thereās like two tricks of the trade:
- Saving copies of your save file in %AppData%/Balatro
- Using a tool like this to take a look at the seed
Yes
Thank Stuntman and Vampire balances for screwing you over
So is the seed dead?
How does it effect it? Iām very new to this.
(If thereās a faq anywhere that would be great)
The way the RNG works any rarity balance change will affect the jokers generated
In the case of todayās patch:
- Generated uncommon and rare jokers will be different (the common pool wasnāt changed)
- joker stickers will be different (and still wait a bit, localthunk is patching a bug with their RNG as we speak)
Interesting, thank you
Immolate lets you do more like looking at reroll queues, but Iāll be adding more features to The Soul over time
Thank you so much š
you're welcme
G2F9UUE2 play on ghost deck for a chance of double poly dna, use rare skip tag. glass red seal 6 in standard pack after boss
CSAFHM4T
Just got three legendary jokers with ghost deck, lost ante 13 was super fun
Alright this is the stupidest seed i've ever come across 4KZFW1BF
MI3FP2MT
You can get 4 polychrome dnas with ghost deck and the first standard pack has a poly red seal 5 of clubs
3Y6H9N15
Yellodeck after 1st small blind w/ dna later in run
Do collection unlocks affect which jokers you see in seeded runs?
I mean like if you have the joker unlocked
can having a different collection that the preson who sent the seed affect if you get it
Yes
Is there any info somewhere for how tarot generation works? like is there a set sequence for the entite run generated by the seed that is walked along, with skips for repeats/soul when not in shop, is it done per ante? Are there separate queues for purple seal/hallucination/vagabond/cartomancer
hey, how do you find what seed you're currently on? I just started a random run and would like to try it again.
I should probably make a write up at some point, but the gist is everything is separate ante based queues
You have to open the save with a save editor or end the run by winning or losing
Oh and Soul is handled independently
how is soul handled
0.3% chance per tarot card generated only from packs
But separate system than the tarot queue
ah so should just dump all my double tags on anaglyph magic if I'm trying to do it on old gold?
More tarot packs mean more chances for The Soul
Open every Arcana and Spectral pack you can as well (Soul also appears in spectrals)
if I have the room for the econ late game sure but old gold packs are so expensive late game
yeah, waiting until 1.0.1 gets full released
hi, mathisfun, you're the person who made immolate yeah? is it up to date for 1.01e?
ahh fun
another question, i know the analyzer is slow, but like, i cant seem to get it working at all? im not sure if this is the right place to ask questions however
Youāll also have to download and replace the .cl files with those in the 1.0.1-exp branch on GitHub: https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Immolate/tree/1.0.1-exp
It takes a really long time to build. I ported it to a website to make it much easier to use: https://mathisfun0.github.io/The-Soul/
ah the thing is i just wanna look at the reroll queues lol
ill just tweak it so it goes faster i guess
been too long since ive looked at anything but python so i tried to avoid doing the work, thanks though!
When I improve the UI the reroll queues will be included
ah yeah i figured, thanks for the tools though! really appreciate your work
yw
just curious but the seeded wr run on speedrundotcom
i get same jokers, but different hands. how do i get same starting hand. i downpatched
That run utilized a bug in 1.0.0L that randomized the hands each time you opened the game
https://youtu.be/kFfwLqtzJig?si=31MjovJ5cg-mq1Xd
This seed works on 1.0.0n and is faster
Small WR improvement with the discovery of a faster seed by @fairy-lettuce
This seed is still several seconds away from perfection, so sub-1:20 might be possible in the future.
Music: seimuc - The Coldest
Version: 1.0.0n
Seed: PCPDNTSG
FAQ:
How does this run work? Why is the score "Balanced"?
This seed is being played on Plasma Deck, which av...
Thereās just a long queue of runs waiting to be validated so Speedrun.com isnāt the fastest seed as of now
i see thanks
We need baron and mime from a mega pack
ok
probably a while
i think ive had it running for like 30m so far and found maybe 20 seeds
this many
also some of them are probably jumbo packs cause im a lil stoopid
these seeds are all 1/2 negative
i think its 667x less likely for double negative
so like a couple days or so maybe
heres some good seed swith baron and mime
wait nevermind i screwed something up
lol
thats not baron mime!
heres a good one
lol wtf you direct draw quad 3s
easiest small blind of my life check
i guess also dna too XD
so soul CAN give me a negative legendaryu
Got it
is possibile to get a baron mime and dna in the shop? ahahhaa
I mean just search for this and overstock
itd be a struggle to afford xd
baron run here, got 2 barons, blueprint, and brainstorm before ante 5
blue deck, red stake
Yo, this seed had a DNA and then 2 barons with blueprint, brainstorm, and a Mime might just be what you're looking for LOL
oh thx
š
finally it was actually a mega buffoon instead of a regular one
round 1 perk bs bp seed!
Mildly interesting: PC4KUZMF ante 2 antimatter
You got the seed for that?
VHSJFKY6
heres 5 more
i havent checked im like 90% sure they should work tho
Love the one with OP in the name
hey all! just looking for a royal flush to get the achive for discarding one
I've had plenty of god runs and beaten gold stake once but I always forget to discard a royal flush for the unlock and I kinda just want to check that off lol
any good seeds to get one on the first hand?
You canāt get unlocks on seeded runs
ah shit
use checkered deck anbd just reset until you can draw one, should only take a couple minutes or so
on a side note XHHR46T1 seems abosulutely nuts
i was checking for when observatory showed up and it said ante 9 and i was like "neat thats pretty reasonable" and i checked antimatter and it has ANTE 2 ANTIMATTER LMAO
LMAO
lmao ty just got it
always forget about checkered
problem is affording that, mega buffoon, and an arcana is impossible outside of yllw deck which is probably not very optimal
still really funny though
I basically only use painted, anaglyph, and sometimes green
also shop contains jimbo and his son
most unusual decks in the game, interesting taste
it is pretty fun
you should try abandoned, its a lot more fun than it seems because like basically every build is easier to go into w/ the much smaller deck
its not actually a practical start but this screenshot is just immaculate
oh that is hot
does ghost deck change the seeding for non-spectral consumables? on a seed where on every other deck shop 1 has hanged man but on ghost deck it has neptune
change is not reflected on mathisfun's seed searcher nvm i clicked green instead of ghost
It changes the ordering, but not which ones appear
The first tarot will always be Hanged Man and the first planet will always be Neptune, but they may take more or less rerolls to reach
i see
Antimatter that early is absurd
burglar for money, 4-10 for scoring, and you can afford it by the end of ante 2 š«”
13 hands is a lot of hands to get the 4-10 worth from for sure
Don't talk to me or my son ever again
real
do seeds in 1.0.0n carry over to the beta version? or will it be completely different?
joker queues and stickers will be very different
most other things will be the same
oh yeah the first shop buffoon pack may affect if you can reach a pack in Ante 1
https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1234349068881235978 I just found this seed today ... will there still be a charm skip tag with a soul containing Perkeo in the beta version?
you have a 1/5 chance for it to be Perkeo
so it will still have the soul, but the joker inside gets rerolled?
Legendary joker RNG was completely changed
oh really I didn't know that
it's nothing you'd notice unseeded but it was internally modified to make it easier to guarantee certain legendaries on Gold Stake for the collection
on the beta it gives Yorick :(
I didn't think the gold stake change would affect it on other stakes
because of Localthunk's implementation, it does affect all stakes
yorick got a buff at least
oh yeah new yorick is definitely better
instead of forcing a spawn on Gold Stake, it'll search for a seed that would have that spawn first
I'm excited for the patch
it'll be fun
I'm still trying to clear as many gold stakes on the current version as I can before the beta goes live. I've completed 7 of them including black deck & green deck. Now I'm doing zodiac & I think I'll move onto nebula next
I also completed all the challenges so I'm happy with that too. Jokerless likely gets easier with the buff to blue seal. Although my run gave me amber acorn as the final boss which meant it was free, I still managed to score over a million points on my best hand so I would've been fine even on violet vessel
Maybe noob question but are seeds different across platforms? Iām on switch if that matters
EARLY baron, double mime (invis joker), perkeo build YGB286Z3. Got cut short because I forgot to reroll the boss so if you're not an idiot like me - huge potential
No
why does the child cost more
cause thats wee joker and hes a rare
Children are expensive to take care of
Shrinkflation too real these days š
ZX5IEYBR Soul in ante 4 jumbo arcana (5th) and ante 5 jumbo arcana (first one) and ante 8 jumbo spectral has a soul (first pack) this this being my new personal best run unseeded
REAL
yeah. In crisp packet its less crisps, more air, same or increased price
in 2069 all chip bags will be repurposed into air bags
dont use this discord often, but i just had a run with a really good seed with triple trib if anyone wants to try it out and maybe post in #1156061354076155944
U988WYV9
Interesting run with trib and four blueprints but i think this can go way higher if anyone wants to mess with the seed
5YZ6Q13D
Two souls before Ante 3: Perkeo and then Triboulet. It also has an early Brainstorm and a late Blueprint, which was unfortunately made perishable by orange stake. Got me my first orange stake clear and my highest score so far. I built this into a Flush House deck but used Hearts because I was hoping to find Bloodstone. (I didn't.) This seed was giving me so many Moons and Worlds. But it hardly ever gave Strength. Sock and Buskin also didn't appear before I died, nor did Baron.
If I use seeds, can't I unlock the locked jokers and planet cards?
Even though I just did the requested things, it was not unlocked.
You can only do unlocks and discoveries on unseeded runs.
That's why I'm personally not playing with seeds very much. I still have discoveries and unlocks still to do.
Ok buddy Ty so much for answer
Me2 same
got an interesting run on this random seed today: 7MX86B5B
had early midas mask and golden ticket for economy
also gave baron, mime, and 3 invisible jokers later on
ended up getting plenty of polychrome red seal steel kings and got e25
how rare is it to encounter seeds like this
pretty rare
BALATRO SEED # H3RWDD62
-- Played with Plasma Deck on Green Stake.
The Seed gives out 3 Invisible Jokers (I believe 2 in main shop, 1 in Buffoon Pack)
I used it for Flush House Build with Club K-Q-J
YSSWG3D2 Double polychrome tribulet ante 2 definitely can go to very high stakes, first polychrome tribulet in second shop arcana pack ankh for s cond is in ante 2 second shop, both baron and brainstorm seen before ante 8. Polychrome jack in ante 1 shop 3 and DNA seen in shop aswell died to ante 10 disable all face cards. Without reroll voucher can be probably be found in previous shops of taking every voucher
B6P319UZ
I need to reroute this since I wasn't recording, but had a cavendish extinct on this seed. Had a blueprint somewhere as well but don't remember details.
early gros michel insta died then cavendish was in the mega skip small blind ante 2
played on 1.0.0 abandoned white stake
(will make a thread when I have route worked out)
cavendish dies sometime in ante 6, don't remember exactly when
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GvyAtXB-ptrkRXhIxVQAWV9vhgumvx9YyVfjH5hFXb0/edit
Hereās a document describing Balatroās hidden random elements
missing the consumable generators?
e.g. judgement/wraith/riff raff ante based
emperor
8ball, purple seal etc.
wait I'm blind it's at the start
I also list non ante-based sources at the bottom
yea, I thought there would be list of all ante-based sources too
didn't realise it was already mentioned in first part of the doc
Literally just Ctrl+Fād pseudoseed and looked which ones didnāt have an ante attached
M9HNF3V9 has a double tag then an arcane. second arcane has a soul, wheel from emperor in first will hit. brainstorm ante 4, blueprint ante 5, bloodstone. didn't see too much else exciting but didn't roll very deep
fun seed recomendation to show the game to someone ?
Looking for a seed with a flower pot in the first couple of shops, any way I could easily do this?
@pallid saffron Do you have Omen Globe odds of spectral
44UG6R4K Skip first blind for poly brainstorm, invisible joker later will dupe it
HF5TCSDU for burnt joker+blueprint+brainstorm, easily flush level70+ by ante 10
RQ does anyone have a seed for ghost deck where Trance shows up early in the shop?
I found a seed that you can get double Poly Perkeo and Baron around Ante 4. I purposely lost and copied the seed and have a doc that got what I could remember doing to get there. I think I may remembered wrong about a few things. But I was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what to do to get it everytime in this seed. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tW5NTBN4WOKdRSZs4WzwppCXK8vn2h7mm7d7UNULckI/edit?usp=sharing
Apologies if I am not much help, I am currently very tired and about to go to bed
You can use #1232562163273433088 to look ahead and see all items and packs for the seed
You're welcome
This is still confusing lmao, I am more lost now I think
You can lower parameters for cards per ante, those are unnecessarily high
But other than that, what would be confusing
Just trying to find out how I got myself to that point
having two perkeos with poly
Well if it was ghost deck, specify in parameters
Otherwise look for spectral packs with ankh and hex
Well, also you want to ctrl+F and find which pack gives The Soul
I know which one gives the soul, I just havent been able to find the ankh the same way I did last time
wait, found it
just now have to navigate myself there
If you can't find something, sometimes it could be because of "reroll queue", basically if you have a spectral "on screen", so in shop or in consumable slot, it will make it so any new appearing instances (e.g. spectral cards in spectral pack that you open) will get replaced on a different spectral.
This applies to all jokers and consumables
Well, we got here. idk if I should go for infinite point hand
well this is a fun seed, FDH4SR2Q
My understanding is that the boss blind roll is also a queue, similar to jokers, tarot cards, etc., where each ante has its own boss blind queue, with some added caveats:
- Certain boss blinds can't appear before certain antes
- Certain boss blinds can't appear in certain challenges
- Finisher boss blinds (ante is a non-zero multiple of eight) pull from a separate queue
Is this correct?
If so, is it possible to use a tool such as https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1232562163273433088 to show what happens when a boss is rerolled for an Ante, and/or if a boss is faced twice (due to using hieroglyph/petroglyph)?
Similarly, is it possible to see what tags will appear on hieroglyph/petroglyph use, and what vouchers will appear in these scenarios (or on use of the voucher tag)?
Essentially, I'm wanting to be able to play out hypothetical scenarios on a specific seed without having to actually obtain the money in-game to do the rerolls first. (I'm willing to do the work on it myself, of course, and the text output is amazing for the shop! I'm just worried specifically about the voucher/boss issue at the moment.)
For example, I have a specific seed that died due to the fact I was relying on bloodstone retriggering and I had The Head appear, with no Director's Cut. I'm wondering if I missed Director's Cut or if I could have forced it to appear through tag use, etc. However, I'm having issues when running the seed through https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1232562163273433088 because I'm not seeing The Head appear in Ante 10 (when it did for me) and I think it may have been due to use of Hieroglyph? Similarly, analyzing the seed shows no Director's Cut in the first 16 antes but I'm wondering if perhaps collecting a few voucher tags (perhaps even doubled) could have forced it to appear.
Additionally, I'm wondering if and how I could use the output of this tool to know which tarot cards will be spawned in a specific scenario (e.g. when using the emperor, or when triggering a purple seal).
A few things:
- boss RNG is not ante-based but does follow those restrictions you mention, so hieroglyph will mess with it
- Iām working on an overhaul for The Soul that will let you do the things you want. For now you can use https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209513992519946250 to find this. Thereās already a built-in filter for tarot queues like you asked (Perkeo analyzer) and you should be able to update the regular analyzer per round to show four tags per ante, and a more specific filter to figure out the boss rolls after using Hieroglyph
I donāt want to add a bunch of specific options into The Soul as it is now so most of your requests will probably come with the UI overhaul that will take me quite some time to make. I will add a few more tweaks pretty soon to make it more in line with Immolateās analyzer (things like reroll queues and outputs from tarots that spawn naturally)
Thank you for the quick replies!
- I'll have to wait until a different time to be able to use Immolate, which is fair (I don't have access to install those things on a work computer). I had discounted using Immolate for this as I already have the seed in question (I encountered it during a random run), I didn't realize Immolate could also help with learning more about the existing seed.
- I didn't realize the Perkeo analyzer also showed Tarot card queues, that's handy. Does it also include which spectral cards are generated (e.g. from sixth sense or Seance)?
- Is there a way to predict which boss blinds will appear in which antes when using hieroglyph/petroglyph and/or director's cut? You say it's not ante-based, which makes sense, but it obviously follows some pattern (as it can be predicted which seed will give which blind if things aren't changed). Is this something in one of the immolate filters?
- The fact you're willing to even work on a UI overhaul, even if it's not going to come for a while, is amazing and thank you so much!
I'm new to seed analyzing - I understand lots of the basics, but I'm trying to understand more details, and reading this channel has been super helpful
Also, this document was super handy: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GvyAtXB-ptrkRXhIxVQAWV9vhgumvx9YyVfjH5hFXb0/edit
Until I read it, I had (incorrectly!) assumed that the different ways to spawn the same type of card (e.g. tarot cards) shared the same queue in the same ante. Now I know that advancing the shop doesn't affect advancing the packs, etc.
Any good seeds for plasma deck white stake?
Perkeo analyzer has everything that generates stuff
Actually it might have not been updated with blue seal and 8ball
Blue seal just needs to be removed from there tho
Guys, whats the best plasma deck seed you had?
I honestly just need to probably take this seed (which has ante 1 hieroglyph) and play around with it in-game, and I feel like that could answer a lot of my questions about how things appear when an ante is repeated.
But I'm mostly just challenging myself to get as far as I can with this seed I got.
And I'm curious what types of things show up in Ante 0 queues... š¤
Thank you very much! Itās not in a filter but if you call the next boss function in Immolate, you should be able to use it to match Balatroās output
I don't save my seeds, so can't help you, but #1156061354076155944 probably has a few
If an ante is repeated itāll just go deeper into the same anteās queues. Ante 0 has its own queues
Good to know, I'll play around with that later.
Do you happen to know if a voucher tag and a director's cut reroll give the same result for next_boss?
Voucher tags are different, but directors cut should just be like calling next_boss again
Ah, makes sense.
And The Soul website, as it currently stands, only shows the boss/voucher/tag/packs that you'd get in a normal non-glyph playthrough, but each of those have their own queue that continues?
Yep
how do tags work then? Is it possible to predict which voucher will appear through use of a tag?
Yes
I have next_voucher_tag or something as a function, not 100% sure if itās accurate though
I donāt think it was properly tested in Immolate
And if I get two voucher tags (through use of the double tag), it would just essentially call that twice?
(this is amazingly helpful, by the way!)
This also explains why the seed output from The Soul was so wrong compared to what happened when I actually played - the very early use of Hieroglyph threw off the boss blinds
Yes
I'm still shocked to have encountered a "wild" seed with both blueprint and brainstorm in the top 8 shop queue of ante 3
Another question I have (but no pressure to answer!)
I played on orange stake, which has perishable and eternal jokers.
If I played the same seed on white stake, would the same jokers appear in the same order, just without the eternal/perishable markers? And if I ran the same seed through gold stake, it would just add rental to some of these same jokers that appeared?
Yes, those stakes only affect the stickers
Even Gold stake runs wonāt change your legendary jokers compared to a regular run
So when doing specific seed routing, the only reason to use one specific stake over another would generally be if the stickers changed the logic (e.g. having eternal to avoid negative consequences of hex)?
Yes
Sometimes Eternal jokers are beneficial, like in the high score record where they are used to dupe hundreds of jokers
Yeah, I've seen some of those runs
And while I don't think this seed could compete with those, I do think that I could play slightly differently in ways that help - there were at least three times I would have used one spectral card but didn't or chose another due to the fact I couldn't afford to lose my hanging chad (which is what the run centered around). But I see an eternal hanging chad would have appeared in ante 8.....
I don't know what the current meta is like, but retriggering the retriggers (blueprint/brainstorm on hanging chad gives a card seven plays) on a card with a gold seal was more than enough of a money generator for me, creating the first game ever where I could reroll the queue freely
Another question: you said the voucher tag pulls up its next voucher from different code than next boss does. Is the same true for rare tags? i.e. if I take a rare tag, it would pull from a separate queue compared to the shop/judgement/buffoon queues?
Sounds like I'm going to have to customize Immolate to check what I want to see here, which is fine
I essentially want to make a project out of routing this specific seed to get as far as I can, possibly getting to ante 16 (or beyond!) for my first time. It's just that the early Hieroglyph and use of tags (e.g. rare) makes it so using The Soul alone is not enough for me to route it
Are there specific jokers that cannot appear in specific antes (like is the case for boss blinds and tags), or can any joker appear in any ante if you get lucky?
Nope, any jokers can appear at any point, for the exception of those mentioned in the rng breakdown doc
E.g. Lucky cat, Stone joker etc
Makes sense
I think I ended up getting some of my engine-generating jokers in ante 0, so I was curious
it's crazy just how many different routes one could take with a single seed
For example, using seance to get a spectral card that could turn out to be Ankh, which could be just insane
perkeo analyzer having everything that generates stuff - this includes grim/familiar/incantation, right?
Not the spectrals yet
The more I look into just this one seed, the more I realize how insane the work you've already put into both "The Soul" and "Immolate" is.
Thanks a ton, @pallid saffron
Youāre welcome!
Am I correct in assuming that the tags that are forbidden in ante 1 are also forbidden in ante 0?
I looked in the code and found that yes, I am correct.
However, the way it's coded makes me wonder something else. If someone enters Ante 2 and then Hieroglyphs back to Ante 1, are the Ante 2 unlocks (tags but also blinds, etc.) still unlocked? (https://github.com/MathIsFun0/Immolate/blob/eecbb9bb8fb00ec79f8c407ad3a83213429b3a55/lib/instance.cl#L301 seems to indicate the answer would be yes)
Based on Balatroās code I would guess yes as well
Are there any hardcoded seeds?
does anyone have a seed w all four suit rocks jokers?
I often wonder if there are truly impossible seeds or I'm just bad š (I don't look at seed list or reload a save very often)
A question about the reroll queues:
My understanding is that if a specific item is locked (for example, I'm holding a fool and a fool would have appeared in the shop), a reroll queue is generated for that item/source/ante combo (e.g. Reroll Queue 1 - Ante 3 - Tarot). Each normal queue that exists for an ante also has reroll queues (as many as needed until an item is found)
Now, let's say the locked item is a joker that is not spawned by a rarity tag. For example, let's say the shop would have spawned The Fool, but I already have The Fool and no Showman. My question is this: is the new replacement joker for The Fool guaranteed to be of the same rarity as the one that couldn't be replaced (common in this example)? Does that mean that essentially, each rarity has its own reroll queue?
With something like gold stake + black deck⦠probably
Each rarity has its own reroll queue
Even without tag shenanigans
So each reroll queue is uniquely identified by a combination of all of:
- ante
- Type (joker, etc.)
- Source (shop, judgement, etc.)
- Rarity
and then there are potentially multiple reroll queues of each of those if needed?
You say "without tag shenanigans" - does that mean that if a rare joker is needed in the shop, it'd pull from the same reroll queue as a rare tag would?
or are those separate?
It would pull from the shop rare reroll queue, not the tag rare reroll queue
got it
But it would still always be a rare joker
so rerolls never change the rarity, only the initial choice of joker (shop roll, judgement use, etc.)
Sorry for asking so many questions, this is fascinating
Do the pack tags (e.g. Ethereal) use the same queue as the other pack types in the same ante? For example, if I use a spectral tag in Ante 2, but see a spectral pack in the next shop (same ante), are those using the same queue?
I ask because technically the tag is spawning a pack, right?
Yes
I'm trying to fully enumerate the list of all possible queues so this is helpful, thank you
I'm guessing that negative/foil/etc. tags don't actually create a new queue, but just modify the next joker that would naturally appear in the shop queue, to guarantee it has the given edition (and is free)
isn't that factorial of some big numbers? even the jokers you'd have 20! lists of just rares (10^18 if it's 20 cards in the list then multiply by ante)
Not the number of possibilities but what queue there are
oh for the Soul site?
Fair point, I'm not trying to fully enumerate every queue
Just... exactly what was mentioned above - list what types of queues there are. And all reroll queues I'm grouping into one.
I'm doing it for my own personal use at the moment, though if it's useful (doubtful), I could share it
off top of my head (others can do way better), types of non-joker cards, queue of jokers off a list per rarity, pack contents...then sorting of the above for shops is how it works?
The shop queue picks what type of card should be made. Then for jokers it picks what rarity it should be. These are all separate queues that are related to the shop
Combination of Ante x item being rolled for (I have eleven unique types of things that can be rolled for) x source requesting the roll (so far I've got 29) x reroll queue number (and if item is joker, x rarity)
Of course most of these combinations won't happen (an Arcane Booster pack will never request a planet card, the Judgement card will never request a Boss, Cartomancer will never request a booster pack type, etc.), it's more of enumerating the items that can be rolled for and the sources that can request the roll.
I've also got 5 more "x in y chance" sources (bloodstone/reserved parking/wheel of fortune/lucky card/glass card) and 11 more "pick from a list" sources that I think have their own queues too
No, I'll never need most of these, but it helps me understand the bigger picture and lets me know which ones I can ignore.
But for example, if wheel of fortune has a queue (both for "pass/fail" and for "which joker to upgrade"), that could be useful in planning (save up cards for an ante where the first few succeed the roll and/or where the first succesful roll is polychrome)
anyway, sorry for straying into talk that really belongs in https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1209513992519946250 at this point. It started generic but got oddly specific.
M3L9BQ7G pretty juicy, I've been playing blind. ante 3 soul (yawn) but does have cola/neg tags to check out too. but maybe people don't get out of bed for turn 1 BP/BS/something crazy these days either š
(I didn't have a good held card for a while, just had used a hanged man too. I might still lose this one lol)
Hello guys i think i found a some what good seed SKAY first ante showman and stuntman in buffon pack ante 2 barron and spectral pack if u buy the voucher that get's you back u find deja vu and spades king, ante 6 first buffon pack mime, i don't know how to optimize but the seed looks kinda fun, do what you want with the seed
After playing this game so much, your score became common for me
š¤”
just had a seed with 2 perkio at 1/8, have 3 perkio, 1 negatve, and a brainstorm at 7/8
i'll post the seed when its over
R1U9GDEQ
THE BEST RANDOM SEED
was curious how to optimize a seed? balatro university on youtube has mentioned save states but im not sure how that works, what ive done is just restart the whole run and get back to where i was but thats not very viable for trying to figure out late ante optimizations so ive just stopped playing seeded but id like to get into it
see if the link to the soul is in MathIsFun's info. that gives most of the shop/pack order for a seed
save data is in AppData (or whatever equivalent like proton in steam). there's folders 1,2,3 the save file is in there. just copy the save.jkr file under another name and you can go back to a save point
editing that prob not topic for this channel, not sure where. don't think there's anything too convenient yet
think the game is deterministic down to what lucky card will do when, etc
yep
I dare someone to beat seed A9ZBHCY9 at a higher Ante, it has early fortune teller and 5 Spectral tags
it has Violet Vessel and a Mr. Bones too
i dont get it? whats the problem with the seed? its very beatable
on switch it's Violet vessel
its VV i just have the reroll voucher
hm, i never saw it
also this build beats VV anyway
or i did and didn't notice
still, more power to ya
i had fortune teller, smiley, a level 15 flush and both flush jokers!
and a neg jolly joker
here is your problem, you are playing flush 
#š±ć»seed-chat message I also made a simple set of scripts to make it easier @quartz jackal
wonder if there's a list of difficult seeds somewhere? certainly run into a few where seems no matter how much rolling you do, it's really hard to progress score to be able to beat the later antes. (especially ones with deceptively ok starts but the only endgame is pretty much playing jokerless)
First time routing a seed. Went ok š
triboulet, ankh it and blueprint it, but you get fucked over by PLANT. PLANT. on ante 13. I'm gonna cry
H8ZP6QZB
VMH297QE baron, 2x mime, 1 brainstorm, 3 blueprint
probably wont get a better run in a while
hi i'm using Immolate by MathIsFun0 (the seed finding tool) and am curious if there's a built in way to end the seed search
currently i'm just closing the terminal window every time but that's a bit annoying š
ctrl+c
ok i tried ctrl+c while it was building and that didn't work but ig i never tried while actually searching, my bad
thanks
Yep, Ctrl+C is the best way to stop Immolate at the moment
if i build immolate locally will that improve performance? because every time i want to test my filter i have to wait a solid few minutes for Building program...
OpenCL does support building a program and then loading it later but I haven't added that support to Immolate yet
i see
that's something I'll try and look into in the near future though
i would definitely appreciate that
also idk if there's a place for other suggestions to be brought up
oh sorry didn't know there was a thread for all this
just saying, theres a soul in the seed GODSEED, im too lazy to optimize, but i think it has potential to cook
also ante 1 poly burnt (but the soul isn't perkeo š)
27LYGUBS - Round 1 Bloodstone, Round 4 Buffoon Pack (if I do not disremember) should contain a Negative Drole Joker (+10 Mult for Flush), and later down the line in the shop, a Negative Hanging Chat.
These are the things I have found, but I belive there can be a lot more to this seed depending on the deck and how you open the shop packs
early brainstorm and hack, ancient joker later on and blueprint later on early in que, mime early in que, possibility for baron maybe 6ZEUXSYA, negative spectral straight flushes and early showman as well
i have a 4 poly braistorm run seed : 57vh622a. to get the game going you need to skip the first blind and get the free rare which it will be a brainstorm then on the next small blind you need to buy the mega spectral to get the hank and the wrath which will give you an invisible joker, somewhre in the run jou can get another invisible joker specifically on the arm's shop after the reroll you get another wrath whith another inv. joker
10K Wee :)
He Weeee
Here is the seed
Done this one twice now, once with queens and once with kings, very early blueprint and legendary triboulet, add in a negative business card and negative showman for some fun.
very specific ask but is there a seed with checkerd deck that gives telescope first bind? i wanna see how far i can go with just playing flushes
first ante*
Is there any way to make save states of some sort to help with routing seeds
update found one š
there's a perkeo + observatory seed, people have done a few youtube vids on that one
You could copy all the files and restore them over and over again, i bet?
Sounds tedious though
oh shit really? do you know what seed?
Need a Negative or two
got my brainstorm negative
Need another trio
Lucky cat
Does anyone have a way of finding legendary seeds really easily
how to mod guys
https://github.com/mathisfun0/immolate
Run with immolate -f double_legendary
anyone know why when i start a seed the first shop often has a bafoon pack where its not sapost to do i have a setting wrong?
the first shop is guaranteed to have a buffoon pack
what do you mean its not supposed to
yeah if youre reading guides or something theyre from the last update
cus buffoon packs used to not be guaranteed
they are as of the update last week
thanks man!
any seeds posted before 1.0.1 will be inaccurate, mainly with jokers and sometimes packs
Sorry for the late reply but thanks!
hey guys just bought the game 2 days ago, am i able to use seeds from previous patches and get the same results?
as said here the answer is no
My first Time naneinf unseeded
Seed: U4E4E3RE
Nice! I bet youāll have a hard time topping that
does anyone know how seeds in balatro actually work?
Well in layman's terms, the alphanumeric string simply acts as a starting point for the Balatro software's psuedorandom number generator.
how does finding a specific joker in a seed work?
I saw someone say there's a list each ante that it just goes down as you roll and go through shops
Yep
so does that mean if I have less jokers unlocked, there will be gaps in my list and the setup I've been given won't work?
And thereās tools like https://discord.com/channels/1116389027176787968/1232562163273433088 to show you those queues
Itāll go into the reroll queue and you wonāt ever be able to find them
is the reroll queue seperate? or just more random
Separate
so do I just have to unlock everything?
eyup
how does the seeding work if I don't have the entire collection unlocked?
I'm missing satellite, but that doesn't show up till ante 4 according to the seed analysis tool, does that mean with someone with full unlocks will have the same run till that's supposed to show up?
Just checked on an unlocked profile and apparently yes
if you dont have satellite unlocked, it gets replaced on another uncommon
so it just acts as if that joker was never on the listt?
no I believe it acts as if you already have that joker in your joker slots
Are there any seeds with routes that can be used for infinite tarots
The only one I can find has a guide that's from before the update and no longer works
found this seed, gives double rare tag and then u get blueprint and obelisk for free, then invis joker shows up for 8 bucks in the next shop XDP86A8Q, anything fun to suggest for it?
IFYCX6SP skip first two blinds. Have fun
Well I mean yeah I know that, but like specifically
Is it possible to reverse engineer a seed? Can you tell what a seed will contain without playing it?
thank you
Does anyone know of an erratic deck seed with early cloud 9 joker & lots of 9s?
hey, sorry to bother you but if I am running for erratic flush fives, what should the score be if it matches?
how does this work?
The score will be the number of cards with the same rank and suit, ex. 15 if thereās 15 of them
It reverse-engineers Balatroās RNG algorithm to display what youāll find in a given seed
oh okay so you need a seed first and then it will tell you everything youāll see?
Yep
The only known way to reverse-engineer a seed would be to check all the seeds you can get unseeded (about 1.8 trillion) for a specific characteristic, which would take a while with the current tools
ah i see. that makes sense
You could do it a lot faster if you had the pseudorandom algorithms thouy
Immolate does this, it would still probably take a few days/weeks though
what do you mean immolate does this?
oh cool
Randomly got the seed VFMVRTVU for this god of a card to start off. Skip first 2 binds and its right there

that was a really cool find
