Hey, on the attached project when calculating seed for the first time, all values are default (just initialized), thus seed is same on each start. to get it better randomized initial value could be either time based or mouse location based value. Applying that, desired functionality should be reached. Hope this helps!

How to reproduce:
1. Open the user’s attached “RandomBug.zip” project
2. Enter Play Mode and observe the Console window

Expected result: First value is between 0-1, the first, second, and fourth values are the same
Actual result: First value is always ~0.2, just the second and fourth values are the same

Reproducible with: 2021.3.29f1, 2022.3.6f1, 2023.1.6f1, 2023.2.0b2

Reproduced on: macOS 13.4.1 (Intel)

Note: reproducible in Editor and Standalone Player (macOS)
