Does time/life carry-on in maps that arn't open?

I'm struggling to phrase this so here the example:

Basically,I raided a bandit camp and it went badly. I had to flee but one of my guys got downed. They didn't put him out of his misery so I could see the map for quite a while and a fire started in the fight managed to consume nearly half the map before my poor chap died from blood loss.

Unfortunately i accidentally "settled" another colony (so i could heal my wounded) over the top of the same hex as the bandit camp and somehow wiped it off the map so I never got to test it out, but the question is this;
if i visited the camp again what would I find? Would the fire ever have happened, burned through everything, or be exactly as I left it?

The same goes for people you've wounded, animals that are mad etc.
Related to this, is there any point in "damaging" a bandit camp in a skirmish or is it an all or nothing encounter?

tldr: do enemy colonies run in the background, or are they regenerated every visit?

99% certain that they do. You keep getting events atleast, so I'm almost certain that time goes on even when you're not there.

IIRC, maps "dump" all information when unloaded. So abandoned places, abandoned colonies, ect, all pretty much get nuked.

In short, pretty sure you would find the camp, pristine condition, and your guy long gone.

This sounds most likely to me. tbh the idea of a bandit colony actually running in the background doesn't make sense - surely they would all starve with the current set-up bandits have, let alone the unnecessary amount of processing power on something you might never visit again
