How random is the random controller? I have tried re-seeding them (by dragging them again from the library)... but I always get these lines.  Notice the groups of 3 and 4 stars running in a vertical line.  Why is this happening?  How can I get a more random looking star map?

Random patch is deterministic, so the same patch instance at the same time will always return the same value. The random values are also periodic and the period should be quite big. Just play with the variability settings as this influence the period and should make the artifact go away.

Yes that is much better...
