Events | Variable #44 Events |
---|
Variable #44 contains a randomized value between 0 and 255, which changes every time Urotsuki goes to sleep in Urotsuki's Room when awake or while dreaming in the bed located in Urotsuki's Dream Apartments. This allows many events to be obtainable only on certain dream sessions. Not every random event in the game uses this value, but knowing which events use this variable allows players to predict if other rarer events are currently active.
This page lists some events related to this variable, along with their individual locations and their required value(s) to activate.
(Note that the random PC and TV backgrounds in Urotsuki's Dream Room use variables 0053 and 0054 respectively.)
Nexus Background
Location: The Nexus
The Nexus changes its color and design from gray if the value of Variable #44 is less than 128 to blue if is more than 128.
The color is also visible from Urotsuki's Dream Apartments through the curtain, allowing you to quickly check the color after rerolling from the bed.
As this is the easier to check event that uses the Variable #44, it's highly recommended to use this event as first indicator of the current value the Variable #44 has.

Butcher's Wrath
Location: Mutant Pig Farm
If you have visited the area at least 15 times and you have the three-legged Marginal effect equipped, there is a chance that, as you explore, the area will take on a red tint, with the background's movement and music accelerated. Additionally, the area will shake periodically with static flashes occurring. This event is more likely to happen when the value of the variable #44 is higher.
Every step you take in this area triggers an event, which generates two random numbers. One between 1 and 999.999 (X), and other between 600 and 800 (Y). Then, the event copies the current value of the variable #44 (V), subtracts 257 and multiplies it by -1. Then, it multiplies the previous result with the random value Y. Finally, the random value X gets divided by the product of the previous multiplication. If the remainder of this division equals 0, the event gets triggered.
In conclusion, the higher the value of the variable #44, the higher the chance to trigger this event.
Additionally, the event will always trigger if the value of variable #44 is 257, but it's impossible to get this value without manually changing the variable.
Having Debug Mode activated completely disables the event.

Position of the Rings
Location: Floating Brain World
The position of the ring-like object blocking the path to Spike Alley depended on whether Variable #44 was less than 128 or not. Its position was lower if Variable #44 was lower and was higher when it was equal to or greater than 128. In version 0.121g, changes to the bed in Urotsuki's Dream Apartments forced the condition to be changed, since at that time, there was no way to reroll Variable #44 without resetting the Bat effect.
