Seed Checker

Single Dict Bench Patcher
Community Ideas and Attempts

Really anything you can think of should be good, but heres some basic input:

Things we've tried

  • General
    • Permutations of the most common 50k English words (2gram)
  • portalGunInChests
    • All possible pairs of words in the Portal 1&2 Script
    • A large portion of GLaDOS dialog from Portal 1
    • Orange Box and Aperture Desk Job
    • Other niche Valve references
  • hallowOnSurface
    • Some MLP references
    • Decent sized 3-5gram attacks on unicorns, rainbows, pixies, etc.
    • The paragraph from the "official terraria lore" on the hollow, 3gram
  • dualDungeons
    • Permutations using all words in the paragraph about the seed in the update post (5gram)
    • Numerous variations of "dual", "dungeons", "1", "2", "3", ..., "skeletron", "angrybones", ...
    • Dicts with "Snake" and "Dithering" like-terms, as the source code uses it to generate
    • Some LotR references
    • Tale of Two Cities and "two dungeons both alike in dignity"
    • "dungeon/skeletron2(the)electricboogaloo"
    • We've tried so hard for this one, pls relogic throw us a bone...are you not entertained!?!?

Things to consider

  • portalGunInChests
    • Consider things OUTSIDE of Valve's projects
    • Perhaps related to the new/old tooltip?
    • Otherwise meta-reference to the game itself.
  • hallowOnSurface
    • Pop culture or perhaps references to the game itself
  • dualDungeons
    • Confirmed to be "a phrase" ("can you find the secret phrase to unlock it?")
    • tLoZ references (partly because of this post by Loki)

There are still gaps in the things we did and we have no certainty that we are on the right track.

Try everything you can think of!!!

Frequently Asked Questions

Have remaining Secret Seeds been found?

If they are not on the wiki, then as far as we know of, they have not.

Time of writing, this is hallowOnSurface, portalGunInChests, and the intended dualDungeons seed

Note that dualDungeons is know on mobile/console, but "dualdungeons" was not the intended seed.

Why haven't you just datamined/decrypted the seeds?

All worlds containing hallowOnSurface or portalGunInChests have been obtained via modding the game in some way.

You can easily patch the game to replace the expected outputs in the game with outputs we know the input for

Visit the "Patcher" tab to automate it.

If you would like to do it yourself, that's fine: This process takes around 5 minutes. Ask in the Discord/ping @foreverpyrite for more details.

How have worlds been generated and can I unlock the seeds myself?

Can I help with compute?

Raw compute might not do us much right now, otherwise we would've cracked it already

Instead, you can use this tool and some of your own thinkings to try brute forcing it with your own ideas.

Is there a list of all tried seeds, and if so, where can I find it?

While this page has some general notes from discussion within the wiki's discord, it is impractial to store all inputs.

Not only would there be literal billions, but also it would take just as long to check a seed yourself as it would to see if someone else already tried it

Additionally, all the code on this page is designed to run on your hardware, without needing to send any data back to the server.

Can I find the code for this application?

Yes, the code is hosted on my personal self-hosted git.

You can find the Rust library I use for this project, along with native CLI executables that are a bit more performant than this webapp
