Certain Items and NPC's ownership is transferred from 'The Hub' to nearby Outpost after importing save. The Nearby outpost right banner appears instead of 'The Hub' banner while in the HUB, and bar NPC start patrolling 'The HUB' and your Outpost. This does not affect buildings and items placed inside the buildings, only those placed on the buildings exterior (spotlights, searchlights, etc.).

Repo Steps:
1. Start a game (no mods)
2. Buy and rebuild buildings in 'The Hub'
3. Place objects like spotlights or searchlights on the buildings
4. Build an Outpost(One small shack) as close as possible to 'The Hub'
5. Lose a static NPC like the 'Rebel Base' vendor found near 'The Hub' (T__T)
5. Save
6. Import the save without dead NPCs in and attempt to bring him back

Outcome:
Spotlights, searchlights and other items change ownership from the HUB to the nearby outpost. This means that these items are no longer getting power from 'The Hub'. This may also affect gameplay in other ways I have yet to identify.
Some of the Bar NPC are now patrolling your nearby Outpost while others (The Mercs) are walking around 'The Hub' until they reach the middle area near the main entrance, where they stand still in a huddle.

Workaround:
I tried destroying the nearby Outpost but the map marker still shows the 'blue X' and the spotlights still remain as belonging to the Outpost.
I am trying to disassemble every spotlight in an attempted to fix the issue. This will take time. I will give you some info latter.

I disassembled every spotlight and searchlight on "The HUD", and also made sure to destroy everything related to my nearby Outpost. I then save and reloaded the save.

Results: The NPC are returning to the bar and all the newly created spotlights have the correct town ownership.

I haven't tried importing the new save since I don't want to risk it.

A quick fix would be to make the enlarge the no construction area around 'The Hub' but this may not fix the issue.

An actual fix would be to fix the Spotlights and Searchlights etc.

its a known issue.
importing your save will fix player buildings being taken over by the NPC.
Do you believe the sexes should be equal?
Oh heavens no.
Then Men would become unmanageable
