Where is the options page?

The player options page for this game contains all the options you need to configure and export a config file.

What does randomization do to this game?

Randomization scatters several items across the multiworld, including, but not limited to: executables, RAM storage, faction access, and shell amount limits. Almost every mission in Hacknet is a check, but you can modify your YAML to also include things such as admin access and PointClicker upgrades as checks, as well.

What is the goal of Hacknet?

This is dependent on your YAML settings. Presently, there are five different goals to choose from:

• Heartstopper - The vanilla ending to the game.
• Altitude Loss - Reaching the end credits for the DLC, Hacknet Labyrinths.
• Veteran - Gaining admin access on a super secret and notoriously difficult node.
• VIP - Completing EVERY mission for both Entropy and CSEC. If Labyrinths content is enabled, this includes The Kaguya Trials.
• Completionist - Everything above.

What Hacknet items can appear in other players' worlds?

• Executables - Crackers (e.g., FTPBounce), and other various executables (e.g., ThemeChanger, NetmapOrganizer)
• Executable Packs - Depending on your settings.
• Progressive RAM - When RAM limits are enabled in the YAML. Each item adds 50mb to your in-game RAM.
• Progressive Shell Limit - When shell limits are enabld in the YAML. You can never have more than this amount of shells open at once.
• Progressive Faction Access - The more you have, the more missions you can take on.
• PointClicker Items - Affect your PointClicker score and rate.
• Traps
  • ForkBomb - A classic, can be killed if you're fast enough.
  • Fake Connection - A fake connection banner with the stinger SFX to give you a heart attack.
  • Random Theme - Randomizes your in-game theme to one of the presets.
  • ETAS Trap - Toggleable in the YAML, activates the Emergency Trace Aversion Sequence.

What are location checks in Hacknet?

• Missions - Almost every mission sends out a check when completed
• PointClicker Upgrades - Toggleable in the YAML, all 50 of the PointClicker upgrades can send out a check when purchased.
• Achievements - Toggleable in the YAML, every Steam achievement Hacknet has can send out a check. (This also works in the GOG release of Hacknet.)
• Admin Access - Toggleable in the YAML, every node that you can gain admin access on can also send out a check. When enabled, this adds ~140 new locations.
