Weighted Options

Weighted options allow you to choose how likely a particular option's value is to be used in game generation. The higher a value is weighted, the more likely the option will be chosen. Think of them like entries in a raffle.

Choose the options you would like to play with! You may generate a single-player game from this page, or download an options file you can use to participate in a multiworld.

A list of all games you have generated can be found on the User Content page.

Determines which Pinball Tables can be considered for inclusion in the multiworld. Set any table you don't own (or don't want to play) for Pinball FX3 to false. A minimum of 6 Pinball Tables must be selected to play this implementation.
This option needs to be configured manually in the YAML file.

Pinball Table Count

Determines how many Pinball Tables will be picked from your table selection for inclusion in the multiworld. If this number is higher than the size of your Pinball Table selection, it will be set to that number instead. Note: Setting this value below 10 could extremely rarely lead to generation failures when paired with other restrictive options.

Target Score Options

Exclude High-Tier Target Scores

If enabled, locations for High-Tier Target Scores will not be created when generating the multiworld. If your goal includes a final table, the Target Score will shift to the Mid-Tier Target Score instead.

Target Score Difficulty Percentage

Determines the percentage to apply Target Scores. You will not unlock location checks until you reach or exceed the Target Scores on a given table. This only applies to Single-Player mode play. When the requirement mode is set to random per table, the specified percentage will act as the maximum possible.

Challenge Star Options

Progressive Challenge Access

If enabled, Challenge Access items will unlock Challenge tiers in a progressive manner, meaning you will gain access to Low -> Mid -> High-Tier sequentially for each Challenge type. This should smooth the difficulty curve, allowing you to collect some useful items by the time you reach High-Tier Challenges. For a more challenging / chaotic experience, disable this option. Expect to possibly have to obtain High-Tier Challenge stars very early on, before Low or Mid-Tier stars and sometimes without any useful items helping you out.

Exclude High-Tier Challenge Stars

Determines whether High-Tier Challenge Stars are excluded from the multiworld and under what conditions. Exclude All: No High-Tier Challenge Star locations will be created. Exclude Only 1 Ball: High-Tier Challenge Star locations for 1-Ball challenges will not be created. Do Not Exclude: All High-Tier Challenge Star locations will be created. Including High-Tier Challenge Stars will add more locations, but will also place additional player skill expectations on you.

Sanity Options

Starsanity

If enabled, every Star obtained below the requirement of each tier will also count as a location check. Examples: If the Star requirements for a table are 3 / 8 / 11, you will get additonal location checks for 1 / 2 / 6 / 7 Stars as well. If the Star requirements for a table are 4 / 9 / 12, you will get additional location checks for 1 / 2 / 3 / 6 / 7 / 8 / 11 Stars as well. WARNING: This will add a proportionally large amount of filler / useful items to the pool.
