How do visitors determine where to hang out?

[porcupine]

Anybody figured this out?  I have a problem, my base has multiple entrances, two sides of a mountain.  On one side, I have a crashed ship, setting out maximum drone, and nowhere near the ability to take it (without loosing the colony of course).

On the other side, well, all my defenses.

I tried removing everything from my home region, and setting home just outside the side of the base in which I need help (and calling reinforcements) to no avail.  They congregate at my main defenses.

So how do visitors figure out where your home is?  Is it stockpiles?  Is it "claimed/owned" equipment?  It doesn't seem to be your home region..

return c;

So I need to create a roof over the crashed ship, and have my boys hang out at it for awhile?

I like to build little stone temples around mine and keep them around forever!

You might want to add in a check for "If where I'm standing is in the fire arcs of multiple turrets, this might not be a safe place to be."

Maybe not safe, but it's probably a FUN place to be!

Because LOSING IS FUN!

The pirates and tribals certainly agree.
