Setting the random seed function was not working as intended.
What was changed
The random seeds are now utilized, and simulations can be replicated if users provide the pre-seed files.
Intended Purpose
To allow for users to replicate simulations as long as they have the pre-seed generator files.
Testing Completed
Output files were manually compared using https://www.diffchecker.com/
First set of outputs were made by sims ran normally with no generator files
Second set of outputs were made by sims ran with existing generator files
Third set of outputs were generated by sims that had only the pre-generated seed files (preseed.p and emis_preseed.p)
Fourth set of outputs were generated by changing the version number in the parameters.
The following zip contains the files necessary to replicate the test mentioned above.
simple_test_case.zip
Shows the expected identical emissions summary file from the first vs fourth set of outputs
Shows the expected 8 lines of differences from the change in versions from the first vs fourth parameter file
