The main problem you would run into is that you would need to make it so it would only randomize once and save that particular random seed in each save file so it could be recalled.

The code I posted above broke due to something along these lines.  What I did to fix it was add a field to the global data that has a list of all the "special stars" and what star-index they should be remapped to.  This gets saved when the global data gets saved, and upon reloading I "patch" the starmap_array.

Code:
// MYCON space
// SUN_DEVICE_DEFINED,
// EGG_CASE0_DEFINED,
// EGG_CASE1_DEFINED,
// EGG_CASE2_DEFINED,
Not all the egg cases need to be in Mycon space. The Syreen homeworld (by which I mean Syra, not Gaia at Betelgeuse) is not in Mycon space, so basically you need to distinguish between the Syreen homeworld and the other two random egg cases; the latter are hotter and in Mycon space, the former is cooler and merely near Mycon space. (It would be fine if it were just within their SoI, I think, or just outside.)

Hmm, I distinctly remember it not being in Mycon space, but I just checked and you're actually right. Maybe I was somehow remembering post-Organon Mycon space? Syra is still different from the other shattered worlds though - it's less recent and has cooled down quite a bit.
