What it does
A random number that clusters round the middle, for loot, stats or noise. It's a value node: no white pins, it works out its answer when a step wired to it needs it. It gives 1 value later steps can use. Find it under Values in the palette.
When to use it
Use it when a step needs a value worked out first: A random number that clusters round the middle, for loot, stats or noise.
When not to
For a value that never changes, type it into the setting instead of wiring a node.
