downed mechanoids live forever and prevent future events from firing.

I had a poison ship that I never attacked, and a mechanoid raid that I left 'downed' but not killed... and I never again got any events, for like a year... finally I realized I wasn't getting events, so I killed the mechanoids, and instantly I got raided... so this seems to be a bug... either downed mechanoids should die after a day, or they shouldn't count as 'active event still in progress' when considering future events.

I agree.

There's nothing in the code which would prevent new raids from spawning when there's still a downed pawn on the map somewhere, so I guess it was just a bad luck, or maybe there was a bug which is now fixed in A13. Anyway, if it happens again, please report it.
