Exclamation next to defense, but defense is really high.

So, Sanctuary hill right now has 35 defense for 11 people. a friggen wall around the entire neighborhood. and yet i still have an exclamation mark next to it in my pipboy.

whats the deal? does it actually mean something else?

i think defense needs to be higher.

its based on several things. not just people, but amount of food etc. etc.

Hey

i have been having this as well. I'm beginning to think that you may need to have a defence that is equal to the total number of settlers, food, water and power. I'm gonna try this tonight and see if I can get my defence to a number higher than that and see how that changes things.

I've only had one attack in a whole playthrough. Even then no one showed up. And I had some 7+ settlements at that point. It's probably faster to just clear the dust after.

Do settlements need to be more supplied/active to be a tempting target? I didn't build much but heck, I would have thought "defenseless people at this location" would at least be some sport for raiders, even if they don't have much.

Yeah same here. Only had 1 attack and that was to a small farm. But my Sanctuary has never been hit. Did you make sure you had a settler assigned to your guard posts? If you don't have a guard post and only use turrets/traps then they won't come unless fired apon.
