What the circumstances were: Normal rich explorer playthrough, a few mods but none that could possibly affect what happened.

What happened: I received the escape pod event, when I went to locate the survivor on the far northern side of my screen, I didn't see them. I saw some slag chunks of the escape pod bordering the map, but no survivor. What I think happened was the pawn was spawned offscreen as evident that there was blood and steel slag from the surrounding area of the escape pod. Another thing to note was that the pod dropped outside of the "build zone". I think an easy way to fix this bug would be to just limit the area an escape pod could drop to be inside the "build zone" of the map. It doesn't really take away from the game anything because it just stops the event from spawning on the edge of the screen.

Steps we can follow to make the bug appear on our machine. This part is important! We need a set of steps which we can follow to get the same results you're seeing. Ideally you'll test these steps to make sure they work from scratch. -N/A. I can't recreate the event as it was a random event, and even if I forced an escape pod drop, I doubt it'd land in the same circumstance.

Savegame file included. Look for the blood and slag chunk on the far north-east side of the screen.

Sometimes these survivers arn't that bad hurt and can move after a short downtime, maybe this happen.

Perhaps, but I paused the game immediately. I would think I would have at least seen him move...
