# The Witness
|
|
|
|
## Where is the options page?
|
|
|
|
The [player options page for this game](../player-options) contains all the options you need to configure and export a
|
|
config file.
|
|
|
|
## What does randomization do to this game?
|
|
|
|
Puzzles are randomly generated using the popular [Sigma Rando](https://github.com/sigma144/witness-randomizer).
|
|
They are made to be similar to the original game, but with different solutions.
|
|
|
|
On top of that, each puzzle symbol (Squares, Stars, Dots, etc.) is now an item.
|
|
Panels with puzzle symbols on them are now locked initially.
|
|
|
|
## What is a "check" in The Witness?
|
|
|
|
Solving the last panel in a row of panels or an important standalone panel will count as a check, and send out an item.
|
|
It is also possible to add Environmental Puzzles into the location pool via the "Shuffle Environmental Puzzles" option.
|
|
|
|
## What "items" can you unlock in The Witness?
|
|
|
|
Every puzzle symbol and many other puzzle mechanics are items.
|
|
This includes symbols such as "Dots", "Black/White Squares", "Colored Squares", "Stars", "Symmetry", "Shapers" (coll. "Tetris Pieces"), "Erasers" and many more.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively (or additionally), you can play "Door shuffle", where some doors won't open until you receive their "key".
|
|
|
|
You can also set lasers to be items you can receive.
|
|
|
|
## What else can I find in the world?
|
|
|
|
By default, the audio logs scattered around the world will have 10 hints for your locations or items on them.
|
|
|
|
Example: "Shipwreck Vault contains Triangles".
|
|
|
|
## The Jungle, Orchard, Forest and Color Bunker aren't randomized. What gives?
|
|
|
|
There are limitations to what can currently be randomized in The Witness.
|
|
There is an option to turn these non-randomized panels off, called "disable_non_randomized" in your yaml file. This will also slightly change the activation requirement of certain panels, detailed [here](https://github.com/sigma144/witness-randomizer/wiki/Activation-Triggers).
|
|
|
|
## A note on starting inventory and excluded locations
|
|
|
|
In this randomizer, items added to start_inventory will be removed from the item pool (as many copies as specified).
|
|
|
|
It is also possible to add items to the starting inventory that are not part of the mode you are playing.
|
|
In this case, the generator will make its best attempt to adjust logic accordingly.
|
|
One of the use cases of this could be to pre-open a specific door or pre-activate a single laser.
|
|
|
|
In "shuffle_EPs: obelisk_sides", any Environmental Puzzles in exclude_locations will be pre-completed and not considered for their Obelisk Side.
|
|
If every Environmental Puzzle on an Obelisk Side is pre-completed, that side disappears from the location pool entirely.
