Rimworld Err Site Label Detected New

Mods like Map Reroll (for starting tile) or World Edit 2.0 allow you to change terrain mid-game. If you delete a faction base or a blocked tile using these tools, the game sometimes retains a "ghost" reference. When the map tries to generate a caravan event on that deleted tile, it says, "Err site label detected new" because the tile is technically new, but the biome/faction data is gone.
