When a survivor dies do you get an replacement survivor later? Still have max number? (No spoilers please)

When a survivor dies do you get an replacement survivor later? Still have max number? (No spoilers please). If you had max of 6 or 8 already and one dies, are you then permanently limited to 5 or 7 or do you get another survivor added later? Thanks.

That depends on the game scenario, probably. You will have more chances to get people in the crash landing earlier on via balloon, but those become less frequent after a year or two.

For the trading post, you place job offers and pay to get more people at any time.
Dunno about the military scenario.

Was asking about Crash Scenario. I should have mentioned that. I had 5 survivors and 4 of them froze to death. So wondering if those positions are gone now or if I can get several more survivors over time. Thanks.

If 4 out of 5 froze to death you might consider restarting the map and prepare sooner for the cold.
Btw, i found survivors after 4 years on the crash landing scenario just as i was shipping people off the planet. So it's possible.

No, you do not get replacements, except perhaps as a random walk-in. As cswiger said, it would be best to start a new game, or restart your current scenario.

Lost a guy in my military scenario, year 5, so far no replacement, every expedition that could reward a survivor, like smoke signal, pod crash and so on end the same, my guy finds them dead.

In the military scenario you get no walk ins and find no survivors in expeditions. The 6 you start with is all you have.

I am really wondering if the code will reduce your Max number of survivors when one dies or if it allows for one to possibly fill that slot later. Ex: you have of 8 and one dies. Will another have a POSSIBILITY to show up somehow later to fill that empty slot- or is that slot burned when someone dies. That is the question. I know I could start over and I have played 8 times into year 2 or more so far. Just wondering on how the game handles that.

Good question. I had Connor die and made him a grand mausoleum. I wonder if i play that save longer if i will find a new survivor. But then again, if i had someone other than Connor and that person didn't die, would i still find that new survivor ?
