It seems to me that the settlement management was hastily made by Bethesda. The low amount of structures and furniture indicates this to me. I would agree with you, that management should've been easier. Perhaps having a list pop up when you're hovering over your settlers e.g. ======== Settler assignment: - Corn x 6 or - Guard Post Duty ========= It's a real problem seeing their assigments in larger settlements like Sanctuary and the small ones, where a 1X1 house can block the whole view. Don't even get me started on the constant help the settlements need either. Feel more repetative and distracting than fun. :(
