My appologies if there is a specific spot for this to be put but i couldnt find where to put it. During a "Starship down" quest I have had a couple odd things happen.
1st: Had 4-5 colonists there, all kitted out in power armor etc. and I got a pop up saying something along the lines of "The people you saved are happy with you and are forming their own faction?" Something along those lines. Which is fine and all however, when it happened my colonists at the site basically poofed. I still had the caravan spot there but when i click on it it said all the pawns were downed and i couldnt move them. Basically borked the whole save.
2nd: After saving around 6 ppl from the crash they all started joining my colony. However, during them joining they didnt show up on the world map. As in, when i clicked to form a caravan with the newly formed colonists they didnt show up in the options. Even moving them to the side of the screen didnt do much. If i remember corectly, it put the dot on the map but the pawns were not on the info screen. Was very weird. Ended up killing them all in debug.

Hopefully this helps you out info wise. And thanks for the mod. I never play without it!
