Concerning Random Events

Hi there fellow colonists! I have a couple of questions regarding the use of random events in the game.

Me and my friends like to play on Randy and try to see who survives the longest from a very harsh start. One player creates the colony and save as soon as the game starts. We then share the savefile and every person try to do the best they can on that particular colony.

I've come to acknowledge that the seed for the random events are not identical for us all, this makes it hard to "compete" against each other, one could get a raid on day 2 that wipes them and the other one a drop pod full of food.

Are there any way to manipulate the randomizing to always follow a seed, so that every run of the same colony will be identical in the matter of random events? Would this be moddable for example?

This could lead to some fun things like "Daily Challenges" or similar events in the community.
