Editing Horizon Zero Dawn/CFT (section)

=== Map State Changes ===
While the location you will respawn at are consistent with your save location, certain actions will modify these locations to other static locations. Actions known to cause these changes are 'Discovering' the settlement Meridian and completing bandit camps. Both of these actions set the respawn location of all nearby save points to the campfire of the location (these campfires also have visible and selectable icons on the map unlike almost any other campfires outside of the Embrace). While it is unknown as to why these specific actions create new CFT respawn locations, it does help support the theory that of the possible respawn locations, you will respawn at the one closest to the location that you saved at.
