Is there anything else I can provide to help this ticket move ahead?

Are there any news on the comparison with the internal ticket?

 

There is also a report from @White-Gandalf where he found essentially the same issue with the initial randomization after game startup - in his case related to the item restock of vending machines.

One further observation:

 

The RNG used to populate random loot containers suffers from the same problem.

If I loot cars dirrectly after loading into the same world, the first car will always give me a Q6 pickaxe and a repair kit, the fifth car will always contain a Q6 chainsaw. This is for biomes where my loot gamestage is above the cap of 290 - so this can probably be repeated indefinetly.

 

Interestingly the individual stats on the pickaxe / chainsaw will actually vary - which means there is yet another RNG instance, but initialized in a way I would expect the other two RNGs to be as well.
