Problem with Point Generator seed 1

Hi !

I was building a life feedback loop in the 2023.32024. I noticed that when choosing the seed 1 in the Point Generator we observe a strange circular behavior when points “die” (see attached file) but when choosing another seed we don’t see the “circular behavior” anymore

That’s because the randomPOP you’re using afterwards uses the same seed and probably the same random number generator. Hence, the age of particles is linked to there position in a very direct way. If you change the seed on the randomPOP to anything different than the seed of your pointGeneratorPOP, you’ll get a proper result.

Okay I understand better now. But the same network in the 31712 behaves differently. Didn’t know that seeds are the same from a node to another one

They probably changed something in the random number generators in between the version…
