I had placed a research table right at the start of a new game but one of the pods landed right on the blueprint. A person came by and started building it which also made the landing pod disappear so now I have 2 instead of 3 people.
Nice!
Nice catch, this is a very rare bug it would seem. I was only able to reproduce by building the table with the dev commands. Reporting in bug tracker.
Thank you!
