| Summary | 0026706: Outguard randomization broken | ||||
| Description | For me, starting the game, then starting an 80 planet save the outguard will always be hyperion/cornucopia war siegers/shredders automated firesupport/breachers archivist/sabre company recycling industries/hydral lobbyist if you go back to the main menu and then start a new save, they will be randomized if you close and reopen the game, start a new 80 planet save the outguard will be hyperion/cornucopia war siegers/shredders automated firesupport/breachers archivist/sabre company recycling industries/hydral lobbyist I have done this 5 times in a row without fail. The outguard choices put into the first save created since launching the game will always be the same. I'm not sure if they will be the same choices for other people, but those other people will likely see their same choices in this situation as well. | ||||

Notice: I have reproduced this, including with different seeds. It is possible to randomize them the first time by randomizing the seed put into the internal RandomToUse, but I'm unsure of the consequences of this, and why the map seed isn't being applied before Outguards are being seeded. In ArcenHostOnlySimContext: Old: protected readonly MersenneTwister RandomForHostOnly = new MersenneTwister( 1 ); New: protected readonly MersenneTwister RandomForHostOnly = new MersenneTwister( anything but 1 ); |

Thanks! * I was unable to duplicate things being unsuitably unrandom (the outguard were always different for me no matter how many I generated in a row), but I've now put in place a default state for our random (MersenneTwister) so that if it is in the default state (indcated by -17), it will pull a random seed from the central RNG before generating values. ** This should stop any form of stale generation that happens for whatever reason, even though it wasn't something I could personally duplicate. |
