In general, yes. However,...
I'm not quite sure what you mean about random stuff during rendering. Just in
case, I do want to clarify that:
- Croquet does have per-Island random streams such that everyone can be using
the same synchronized random numbers.
- Rendering isn't part of the model: there's no need to keep it coordinated
between participants. For example, everyone renders from their own point of view.
