So I want to recreate a randomised set of data across all servers, and it has to run on every half hour.

You want the same data to be created every server right?

yes i want the same data on each server
You can use Random.new with a seed to ensure the same values are generated, and you must ensure you have the same seed on all servers, for this you can use the UTC UNIX time and possibly snap it to 30-minute intervals to be safe
Like:
local seconds = math.floor(DateTime.now().UnixTimestampMillis / 1000)
local minutes = math.floor(seconds / 60)
minutes -= minutes % 30
local rand = Random.new(minutes)
--Use rand like you'd need to
Not sure if I did the minute snapping part right though

OHHHHH
wait i understand everything now. you have an encoded seed with a key across all servers tysm

Note that constantly changing the seed of a random number generator will reduce the randomness of your samples.
Depending on the sampling frequency and sufficient choice of hash function, random numbers can be sampled by hashing the current UnixTimestamp.
