Guards actually patrolling

[Soloman1105]

When a guard walks back and forth, it's typically called "patrolling" or, in a more ceremonial context like guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, it's often referred to as "walking the mat" or "sentinel duty" where the guard takes precise steps back and forth while on watch.

NPC assigned to guarding should be more than stationary. Patrolling guards have a Starting point "guard mat" and an Ending point "guard mat" placed . Then the assigned guard will continously "walks the mat".

Get the visual of a guard actually guarding something as well as the tactical benefit.

If you build three guard posts and assign a guard to one of them, the guard will patrol between them, but I'm guessing that's not what you have in mind.

I'd like to see a means to assign someone to guard duty and have them patrol the whole settlement. I figure a buildable object with a sandbox package similar to a scavenging station would do the trick, but I have no idea how to set up something like that.
