This is a proposal to replace the d@@n generic Warning Icon on the Pipboy Workshops List.

Near the name of the Settlement, the following icons should be shown:

1) No Icon => No problems (oh, yes...)!

2) Crossing Swords => Settlement Under Attack

3) Water Icon => Water Shortage

4) Food Icon => Food Shortage

5) Bed Icon => Beds Shortage

6) Energy Icon 1 (a lightnging?) => Energy Shortage

7) Energy Icon 2 (a "broken" lightning?) => Broken Power Line

8) Defences Icon => Low Defences Level

9) Supply Line Icon => No Supply Lines

+ An Additional Tools Icon near the previous icons => Repairs Needed

And completely remove the generic, extremely irritating, frustrating, Warning Symbol, in special way, near Happiness!

and if a settlement had no beds, no water, no supply line and was under attack? All 4?

Well, i think in that way it will be more informative. Yes, all 4.

I just want them to replace the nonsensical icons, such as an upward arrow next to power that I sometimes see. Wth does that mean anyway?
