Where do The Goblin Army and the Pirates spawn?
I've faced The Goblin Army and The Pirates a few times now. But the most recent time I faced them, I noticed that they only appear to be in the centre of world. I was in the Crimson farming for a key mold, and thought the invasion would help to get it.
When I spawned the Pirates, a few came but no more seemed to spawn. Later on when I went back home, there they where. I fought them and defeated them. The exact same thing happened with The Goblin Army.
So do they just spawn in the centre of world, or was I just doing something wrong?

From what I remember, the enemies always spawn off-screen. In case of the Goblins (I assume it's the same for Pirates), they are sent towards the center of the map so as to come across your settlement.
Which means that if you're out and about, they could spawn offscreen and walk away from you (but in the direction of the center of the map).
