that only happened with me once, when my little guy got trapped in a little concrete tube with water, he still died anyways due to him being already really exhausted and the wack water mechanics slipping him back into the water whenever he tried to rest
but excluding that, literally every single time the earthquake happened, it either griefed my run, or just did nothing at all, but wake my character up from their sleep and break the rubber blocks in a pod my guy was resting on, forcing me to find another one, very annoying!
