I would like to know if I could find the seed value originally used in GenIC for TNG300. I'm aware that I can download the initial conditions position and velocity, but I'm looking for the actual seed value inputted into GenIC. Thanks!
Although a modified version of N-GenIC was used to make the TNG ICs, I think it likely that the public version has the same noise field specifications, so that you should be able to make an IC with the same perturbations. Let me know!

I can verify for TNG300 that they do match. Thank you for finding this for me.
