Hi, when ever visitors come by they often pick an odd location to wait such as in the following picture. Is there a way to force them to sit around in a certain area? In this case, preferably the blue area in the picture.

That is precisely why the visitors don't wait in specific areas, nor can be made to. Tynan was afraid of people cheesing the hell out of the visitor-trading system in order to get free stuff.

I may be incorrect, but I think you can force them to wait in an area by adding a guest bed.
I've yet to have a group of visitors wait anywhere else besides where my guest bed is located.
Although, if you get two groups of visitors at the same time, I believe you need to have at least one more bed than the total in the group of the first visitors. Meaning, if there are five visitors in the first group, a sixth bed will force the second group to plant their flag there as well.
I like your setup, by the way. I might give something like this a try.
Guest bed? Is that in vanilla or a mod?

Hospitality mod I think, only guest beds I ever had were the colonist-marked ones used to heal rescued Spacers or downed Visitors.

It is Hospitality mod. I would wait a bit though because the last couple of versions broke my game. It might be fixed now. Check out what people are saying to see if it's fixed. In prior Alphas, it's been a good mod.
It should resolve your problem, though, and if it is fixed, I believe it can be added to a save game.
Thanks for the info all ^_^
lol.
How "odd" that they choose to hang out outside instead of climbing down into a rubble-filled death pit when the obvious murderers invite them to ::)
"Excuse me miss, does this rag smell like chloroform to you?"
no no no, the chloroform only gets used on pirates... I mean sure, I call everyone a pirate but still...

I understand the the game has a very low incident pool as it is, but that's a pretty bad justification. Even if game logic can't tell the difference between a player caused death and an accidental one, just have it treat the colony as a "bermuda triangle" type location. Too many suspicious deaths and the game stops generating visitors. Force players to keep trade caravans alive if they want an economy.
