I started modding this game for the first time a couple of days ago and needed a random percentage but I didn't find a way to generate random numbers other than creating long lists.
So I wrote my own RNG to create random percents and added a random number generator as a plus if I needed it later. Looks like is working pretty well.

Don't know if the devs will add this feature in the near future but for now this should do the trick.
Feel free to use it in any mod.

Code:
# Random percentage generator (0.000 to 1.000) ----------------------------------

rng_percent_effect = yes

set_variable = {
    which = <myvar>
    which = rng_percent
}

# Random number generator (rng_min to rng_max)-------------------------------------------
# Maximun number to be generated, 0 if not specified
set_variable = {
    which = rng_max
    which = <myvar1>
}
# Minimun number to be generated, 0 if not specified
set_variable = {
    which = rng_min
    which = <myvar2>
}
# Number of decimals for the generated number from 0 to 3, 0 if not specified (Returns integers)
set_variable = {
    which = rng_places
    value = 2
}

rng_number_effect = yes

set_variable = {
    which = <myvar3>
    which = rng_number
}
