Organized Settlements

Post » Sun Nov 29, 2015 5:35 pm

Okay, so it's a possibility that I just haven't found it yet, but I have a question about a feature. Imagine you're currently at Sanctuary Hills. You've just set up some new defenses/plants/want to set up a supply route. So, you go looking around for your settlers to assign one of them.

Therein lies the problem. You must physically find them in the settlement (so far as I know). Is there a way to call up a list of your settlers in a given settlement, reflecting their active or inactive assigned jobs?

Havn't tried it yet, but I could have sworn there is a bell thing you can build that summons everyone. Not bothered with it yet because I can't attract folks to my settlement.

If you want to attract settlers, you build a radio mast.

If you want to check if one arrived, watch the settler number in build mode.

When you know they are 'on site', build a bell to call them.

Yes, you can craft a bell to ring and call them but it is still a messy exercise.

Settlers should have a random name, eg Dave with a subtitle underneath his name , when you set Dave a task his subtitle should change accordingly, , (shop keeper), etc. Dave's name should also be able to be edited to your own personal choice, as I think having a name for your followers has a stronger emotional attachment and it would make it so much easier to find settlers and assign them tasks, beds, etc.

I'd settle for the next update including a menu in the terminal with a list of current settlers. Maybe even show their individual special stats and which stat responds better to whichever job you want to give them.
