I would like a program where you input a desired edgework configuration, and it outputs the seed(s) that would produce that configuration. Ideally, this would function similarly to the edgework configuration feature in the test harness. The program could allow you to leave certain pieces unspecified to keep generations options opens. For example, if you want a CAR indicator present, you can have an option for not care if it's lit or not.

This would be useful for testing unicorns in the game without having to download or modify the source code. Given the number of configurable options (a lot more if you count modded widgets), this might work best as an external program, though it could theoretically be implemented as a holdable.

The program can also do the inverse in which you give it a seed and it tells you want widgets will appear on the bomb. Though that may work best if program is external as you can just run the seed in game to get the same results.

mathematically impossible. as infusion said, modules (and a million other factors) use the random number generator before edgework is generated, and modules all have their own uses of the RNG that skew it even further. seeds are really truly only useful for reproducing the same bomb a few times in a row in the same session; the output of a seed is entirely dependent on the modules you have and a million other factors localized in your game

#

(I also say this because I attempted something like this before in the past, but unfortunately edgework gets generated after modules, so the modules skew the seed -> edgework conversion)

@burnt fiber could this theoretically work if you gave the program the module configuration? Like if you're choosing modules from a profile, and give said json as well. Ik it sounds jank and not as practical as I originally intended, but I want to see what is actually possible
