I am using the random seeds when I building model these days. and I
found that in the following line:

environ(rand_seed=-8123, restyp_lib_file='$(LIB)/restyp.lib', copy=None)

I try three jobs with rand_sees=-500, -1000, -1500

and I found that the -1500 get the lowest DOPE score and -500 get the
highest DOPE score for the best solution.
Does it means that if I set rand_sees=-2000 would get a better one?
No. There is no correlation between random seed and model quality - it is random.
