Brainstorm Rerolled

Brainstorm Rerolled

A Balatro mod for finding seeds. Describe the run you want (a Charm Tag with The Soul, a Negative Blueprint in the first shop, Observatory by ante 2, ...) and auto-reroll searches millions of seeds per second in the background until it finds one.

Built on Brainstorm by OceanRamen and Immolate by SpectralPack. Please credit them; this project builds on their work.

Claude Code and Gemini were both used in some capacity for this project both as research helpers and coding assistants. I am making this project public since I think the end product is neat but please give all actual credit to the original authors mentioned above.

Features

• Auto-reroll: Ctrl + A searches for a seed that matches your active filter and starts a run on it. The game stays responsive while it searches, showing how many seeds it has checked. Press Ctrl + A again to cancel.
• Filters built in game: make named filters from conditions, save as many as you like, and pick the active one.
• Fast reroll: Ctrl + R restarts the run on a new random seed.
• Save states: hold Z and press 1–5 to save the current run to a slot; hold X and press 1–5 to load it.

Works on Windows, Linux and Steam Deck through Proton, and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel). Searching needs no extra software: everything runs on the CPU.

Installation

Install with a Thunderstore mod manager (r2modman or the Thunderstore Mod Manager); Lovely is installed with it automatically. Brainstorm-Rerolled adds a Brainstorm-Rerolled tab to the settings menu.

macOS only: macOS sometimes blocks code downloaded from the internet until you allow it. If auto-reroll reports that it is unavailable, run xattr -d com.apple.quarantine on the Immolate.dylib file in the mod's folder once, then restart the game.

Filters

Open Settings → Brainstorm-Rerolled → EDIT FILTERS. A filter is a list of conditions, and a seed matches only if every condition is true. Choose which filter auto-reroll uses with ACTIVE FILTER in the same tab.

Condition — Example

Tag — Charm Tag on the ante 1 Small Blind

Voucher — Observatory in the ante 2 shop

Booster pack — Mega Arcana Pack among the first 2 packs of ante 1

Joker in shop — Negative Blueprint among the first 4 shop cards of ante 1

Soul in Arcana pack — The Soul in a Mega Arcana pack, giving Perkeo

Boss blind — Crimson Heart as the ante 8 boss

Every condition applies to one ante or a range of antes ("Burglar anywhere in antes 6–8"). For example, this filter asks for a Turtle Bean in ante 8, a Burglar in ante 7 or 8, Crimson Heart as the ante 8 boss, and a Negative Blueprint early in ante 2:

Jokers are picked from a card grid like the Collection screen:

Good to know:

• Vouchers in later antes assume you bought the vouchers of earlier antes (an upgraded voucher only appears after its base voucher).
• Shop cards count 2 per shop plus 2 per reroll.
• Boss blinds assume you never reroll the boss: Director's Cut, Retcon and the Boss Tag change that ante's boss and every later one.
• Steel Joker, Stone Joker, Lucky Cat, Golden Ticket and Glass Joker only appear once your deck has a card with that enhancement. To search for them, turn on Assume 1 of each enhanced card for the filter. If you never get those cards, about 1 in 55 common/uncommon shop jokers can differ from the prediction.
• Very specific filters can take a long time to find a seed. The search shows its progress and can be cancelled at any time.

Two starter filters are included: Charm + Soul and Charm + Soul + Observatory.
