I was wondering if there was anyway to fetch the seed from a Random.new() constructor, which hasn’t been fed a seed. However, if their is no possible way of this, is their a way to replicate the way roblox generates random seeds for Random.new()?
From what I can tell, you are unable to retrieve the seed from a Random object. As far as replicating the seed generation, it only says "If you don't provide the seed parameter, Random uses a seed from an internal entropy source.". Using math.random() should be close enough to the internal source, so you can just generate a number between -9007199254740991 and 9007199254740991, and use the generated value both as the seed in Random.new(), as also store it somewhere for later use.
