COMMUNITY INTEGRATION

HacknetArchipelago randomizer mod

Investigate Bit's final request with hacking tools arriving from other worlds. Missions become checks, while optional faction access, RAM and shell limits turn the simulated computer's capabilities into multiworld progression.

Setup & releases

Choose the documented game and integration versions and follow the original installation instructions.

Compatibility notes

  • Use HacknetAPClient.dll 1.0.2 with the separately published hacknet-1.0.0 APWorld. The client bundles its Archipelago library and requires Hacknet: Pathfinder. Do not substitute the archived HacknetArchipelago-Legacy mod or the old DiamondGrid downloads.
  • The tagged guide reports testing with Archipelago 0.7.0 and rejects versions earlier than 0.6.1; that does not independently verify every intermediate or future version. Install the world in custom_worlds and follow the current maintainer setup, not legacy lib/worlds instructions.
  • Windows and Linux setup rely on Pathfinder. macOS is unsupported by that loader. If XNAWebRenderer causes a startup crash, the maintainer recommends -disableweb, especially on Linux. No independent Steam Deck test is claimed.
  • Labyrinths is enabled by default and requires owning the DLC. Disable its checks if you only own the base game and select a compatible goal. Exclude Project Junebug can remove its sensitive-content checks, including associated nodes.
  • Back up saves and use a new dedicated campaign per room. Connection metadata and cached checks are saved, but the inspected warning is not a seed-binding guard. Save and reconnect carefully after a drop; documented recovery commands are not a guarantee against every reload edge case.
  • For a conservative first run, set trap_percentage to zero. The inspected 1.0.2 Random Theme selector can choose an out-of-range index; this source-level issue has not been reproduced in a game session. ETAS traps are separately off by default.
  • Executable-transfer missions instead require admin access. A first CSEC connection may disconnect once, and RAM limits take effect after the tutorial. These are documented behavior changes, not evidence that the integration failed to load.
  • The versioned connection UI has limited special-character input. Optional music randomization needs at least 23 OGG Vorbis tracks, not Opus or Theora. Keep debug commands off for ordinary play, and do not assume native shared-save co-op or independent end-to-end certification.

This integration is maintained independently of Panludia. Downloads are provided by its maintainer. Contact the maintainer through the linked repository or support channels.
