Fix the settlers!

I know you added a feature which highlights all objects the settler is assigned to, but how am i supposed to highlight a settler and look at what they're assigned to at the same time? Please add some kind of window over their head that makes it easier to see what they're assigned to. :)

Or anything, for that matter, that helps us organize our settler's jobs.

The only workaround I've found for this is through equipping settlers with guns. You can go into the weapon crafting station and rename the weapons. If a settler is assigned to tending a corn patch, give them a gun called 'corn patch', if they're assigned to a rooftop guard post, give them a gun called 'Rooftop Guard Post', if they run a supply line from Sanctuary to Red Rocket, give them a gun called 'Sanc to RR' and so on. Then you can simply pull up the trade items menu with the settler, look at their gun, and see what their task is.

That's a good one, Quantum.



I (and many others) give them job-specific clothing or uniforms. My guards look like soldiers, with military fatigues, combat armor and army helmets. My farmers look like farmers, with flannel shirt/jeans and militia hats. I put cage armor and flight helmets on provisioners, and so on.

I wouldn't say no to them adding a little tag under them that shows their assigned task...


You know, something simple...Guard...Farmer...Scrap Salvage...Merchant...

+1. Settelers are too much of a hassle.
