Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
I do not know if this is intended or not, but it is annoying and I think it needs looking into asap. Basically, sometimes a new anomalous site will spawn in the middle of a sector, this effectively blocks the sector for annexing, colonization or forward bases until the anomaly has been cleared by a Hero. It isn't exactly game breaking, but it is very inconvenient and eats up precious turns when you could otherwise colonize the sector just fine. I think something should be done to stop anomalies from spawning in the centre of a sector.

Unfortunately, I was not able to make a save file of the turn in which I had not started digging the anomaly with a Hero yet and it has long been overwritten by my later auto saves.

Have you tried verifying your files?
Yes

Steps to reproduce the issue
I am not sure, as I am just playing the game normally and sometimes get an anomaly in the middle of a sector out of bad luck with the RNG.

Hey Ferroken, thanks for reaching out. This is intended behaviour. Medium and Large Anomalous sites can reward Structures such as Colonies and Landmarks which need to be placed on the Centre Hex. Until the Anomalous Site is cleared, that space needs to be 'reserved' as it would otherwise cause issues with already build structures such as Forward and Sector Bases.

Fair enough, thanks for the clarification!
