You can use the cheat command produce() in a program with random coordinates for this, so you can for example place in scene.txt an unreachable bot or alien (maybe underground somehow? not sure if "h=-Value" works for stuff other than decoration) , with script that spawns items on start and does nothing else.
Like
CreateObject pos=-800;-800 dir type=AlienAnt script1="%lvl%/SPAWNRANDOMSTUFF.TXT" run=1 selectable=0
Not sure if it works for decoration items though, because of their their (lack of) categories, probably no

For decorations you need to insert object number, like produce(654);

I think it's a good time to document this LevelController aka "GhostBot" thingie and other scene related stuff somewhere. Maybe we should do some pages about creating (user-)levels in SatCom instead of Wiki, GDD, etc.
I think it would be easy and quick enough to just "port" and update original PDF document about creating (user-)levels. Then every chapter would be different SatCom page, there would be also images from original PDF (if I remember correct, in ceebot.zip there was all images from that PDF in better quality).
Porting that PDF would be good start for making it up-to-date. It will be enough easy to add something there, update or translate this.
