I had an issue where I was assaulting a new native/biter base, and a biter-spawner spawned where my player was. My player was respawned, but the game did not crash, there were no error messages, all quick-belts and weapons/armour were cleared, and I was unable to interact with the game world, although the game continued in an otherwise normal fashion.

I did not think to get a copy of the save-file at the time, and there are no crash reports to submit, though I imagine this issue would be simple enough for a developer to reproduce and fix.

This is interesting. It sounds like they need to implement a new protection system to prevent new entities created while biters are building nests from overiding existing entities. At least entities of a different faction, because I'm fairly sure they erase biters on purpose.

Yes, it will not kill the player or any non-neutral entities anymore in 0.12.
