this randomization is only done during world generation and probably when a POI is placed by the World Builder,

That's not true.

I'm happy to stand corrected, but I'd like to know how it really is. Can you provide the details?

Did a test tonight in my test game which is vanilla, but I used settime a few times before which is said to be not really 100% safe.

 

Looked at kitchens in 2 tier1 POIs before and after turning on the quest. No change at all in cabinets, refrigerators and ovens. Either they were open both times or they were closed and with contents both times.

If you want a few more samples from a single quest, logging out while a quest is active should reset the quest to the start; so, reset-logout-reset etc. Doesn't count as cheating if you don't loot, just place a frame to see the reset. Of course, it could be resetting to a quest-determined seed at that point.

Exactly. That makes it less useful. If the containers change it would be conlusive evidence, but if not you would never be sure  if that wasn't the effect of a saved seed.
