Default Randomness in SEV

How does the game decide where to place planets, empires and ruin tech? With ruins, how does the game choose a random tech to give?

More exactly, how random are random numbers generated in SEV? Do they have an equation that generates a series of random numbers that follows a seed? Or is it something simpler?

I ask this because there are times when the exact same empires are always made or that certain empires are always in the same spot on a single map. Or ruins where if you load up the game before, it'll give you a different tech then it would otherwise. ( repeat tests show that the 2nd time a ruin is colonized, it settles on one tech no matter how many times it is repeated.)
