It's been a long time since I (re-)wrote the random object code for OSG, but my
recollection is that we use the same random number seed when generating
random model placements, to ensure that a building is in the same place on
every computer.
I suspect that part of the problem with the water-tower may be an artifact of
the
random number generator, though having one every 300,000 m^2 was also a bit
much!
However, I've never investigated sufficiently to determine if that
is the case.
