At startup we’re just initialising stuff and loading models and other assets.
Once in you’re in the game, we generate everything random numbers, beginning with the same seed. We use a basic image of a galaxy spiral to work out density at any given place, then put a bunch of stars there. Choose one, and we generate some planets and things based on the a few theories of how starsystems might be created. And so on, all the way down.
The key is using the same seed so that each time you generate a thing, it comes out the same as last time.
