I would love to see proof of any differences. I've done tests in the past and have seen absolutely no difference in anything.

Phase 1:
Make a new world, with whatever seed you would like.
Explore it for an hour or two, noting the locations, varieties, and counts of trees, mobs, etc.
Enter a burial chamber, note the layout.
Take note of the locations of metal deposits.
Take note of berry bush locations and numbers.
Take screenshots.

Wait a real-world week.

Phase 2:
Make a new world, using the same seed as the world created earlier.
Wander around, looking for the landmarks you noted during exploration of the previous world. Notice that the world created earlier is not entirely identical to the new world.

Tada! Proof that world-gen is only semi-deterministic.

I'm sure you saw my comment that I have done this before, so I'm not sure why you felt the need to state the obvious.

This is a link to my previous test: https://steamcommunity.com/app/892970/discussions/0/3496509339509393442/?tscn=1667873867#c3496509872205572846

I did note back then that the burial chamber was different, but didn't find any other differences.

As it turns out, I created a new world a few days ago, so I recreated it again today, and created another pair of screenshots from the same location in both worlds. I can't see a difference.

Here is a screenshot of the world created a few days ago: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2943387920

This is around the same vew from the world created today:

Please point out any differences that you see, and post any results that you have from similar tests.
