Foresight

Foresight

Seed finder, run forecast, save states and rewind for Balatro. A replacement for Brainstorm: the same hotkeys, plus stackable seed filters, a crystal ball that shows what your run has in store, ten save-state slots, and undo for every hand, all in one menu (F3).

Predictions run the game's own generation code against a sandboxed copy of the random state, so modded tags, jokers, packs, bosses and rarities count. Predicting never changes your run.

Features

Seed Finder

Stack as many filters as you like; a seed has to match every filter that is switched on. Each filter has a visual editor with real card, tag and blind art.

Filter — Checks

Skip Tag — The tag for skipping the Small or Big Blind (or either, or both) at any ante

Boss Blind — Which boss shows up at an ante, or that certain bosses never appear through an ante

Voucher — The voucher in an ante's shop, optionally assuming you bought the earlier ones

The Soul — The Soul or Black Hole in your first pack(s) of a kind, e.g. the Charm Tag's Mega Arcana

Legendary — Which legendary joker The Soul creates, and its edition

Shop Card — Specific jokers or cards, or any joker of a rarity or edition, within the first N shop cards (rerolls included)

Shop Pack — Pack kinds and sizes within the first N shop packs

Pack Contents — Cards inside the first pack of a kind you open in an ante

Erratic Deck — At least N cards of a suit, a rank, or face cards in the randomised starting deck

The finder checks tens of thousands of seeds per second while the game stays smooth, shows live per-filter pass rates and the estimated odds, and starts the first match. It comes with presets (Charm Tag + The Soul, Perkeo start, Negative legendary, Double Charm, Blueprint + Brainstorm, ...) and you can save your own.

Crystal Ball

What the current run has in store: skip tags, bosses and vouchers for the next four antes; the next shop and its rerolls (or the next rerolls while you are in a shop) with editions; the next shop's packs; the contents of the first pack of each kind; where the next Soul and Black Hole are; and which legendary The Soul would give right now.

Save States

Ten slots, each with a preview of the ante, blind, money, deck, seed and jokers. They use the same files as Brainstorm (saveState1.jkr, ...), so Brainstorm's slots show up here, and they survive restarts.

Rewind

Every autosave - before each hand, each shop and each blind choice - becomes a checkpoint. Undo a misplay with Ctrl+Z, redo with Ctrl+Y, jump to any checkpoint, or keep one by copying it into a save slot.

Seeds

The current seed (copy, restart, star it), play any seed on any deck and stake, and a history of recent runs (best ante, wins, how the seed was found) plus favourites.

Hotkeys

Keys — Action

F3 — Open / close Foresight

Hold Z + 1-9 / 0 — Save state to slot 1-10 (or hold the number, then press Z)

Hold X + 1-9 / 0 — Load state from slot 1-10

Ctrl+T — New run on a random seed (same deck, stake and challenge)

Ctrl+Shift+T — Restart the current seed

Ctrl+A — Start / stop the seed finder

Ctrl+P — Stop the seed finder

Ctrl+Z / Ctrl+Y — Undo / redo

The menu key and the save / load keys can be rebound, and each group of shortcuts switched off, in Settings. There is also a Foresight button in the pause menu.

Installation

1. Install Lovely and Steamodded (version 26.829.0 or newer).
2. Download Foresight-.zip from the Releases page and extract it into your Mods folder, so that you end up with Mods/Foresight/Foresight.json.

• Windows: %AppData%\Balatro\Mods
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Balatro/Mods

1. Start the game and press F3.

Coming from Brainstorm

Disable or remove Brainstorm first - both mods use the same hotkeys. Your Brainstorm save states load as-is, and Foresight also adds the faster game speeds (up to 64x) that Brainstorm patched into Settings > Game.

Notes

• The finder predicts from a fresh run of your current deck and stake. If the run has already moved on, it starts a fresh one first and reopens the menu.
• Like Brainstorm, found seeds count as normal unseeded runs (unlocks and stats). Switch that off in Settings to play them as seeded runs.
• After a seed is found, its ante 1 tags, boss and voucher are checked against the real run, and any difference is reported.
• Predictions assume nothing else uses the same random rolls first. Held tags (e.g. Rare Tag), some jokers, and boss rerolls can change shop and boss forecasts.
• Tested on Steamodded 26.829.0 with Lovely 0.10.0, both with vanilla content only and with a 60+ mod pack (including Paperback and Amulet).
