Settler management menu - better settler management.

LET IT BE KNOWN!! From now on you are Bert!! and you are in charge of feeding my crops.

Bert the gardener, can't wait.

i actually think that the whole crafting hud needs fixed. however the most important thing that needs to be worked on is settler management. this would be great.

[xethier]

Things needed for this:

 

Overall SitRep for each Settlement. (list of names / jobs)

 

Name your settlers. (i'm just giving them different clothing based on their job for now, it's working, but it's a huge pain in the ass)

 

Supply Line Management (this is my main issue) -- Being able to adjust supply lines, remove existing, etc. (having to track down the provisioner or get lucky and have them be local is WAY too much trouble)

 

A mouse-over on an NPC while in build mode should give a brief synopsis of their job. (QOL issue -- if the SitRep exists, this would just be icing) -- Mainly this is for figuring out which provisioner is attached to which settlement.

 

Overall this system seems like it was a bit rushed-out-the-door, too many (fairly basic) QOL issues have been overlooked.

Please, yes. Pretty please.

 

A full management package would be marvelous, but to be completely honest I'd be happy with:

 

1) An ability to find idle unassigned settlers

and

2) The ability to name my settlers

 

The above could even be further condensed to a simple package that renames settlers as you assign them to their assigned job - Farmer, Guard, etc. So, "Settlers" are simply unassigned settlers that need jobs.

 

Edit: Provisioners should be named by their route.

yea i'd like the ability to rename settlers too, and the terminal idea to see what they're doing and assign them jobs from there would be cool

[CaptPirate]

A quick fix for this until we can make more complex mods would be that when you select an assignment for a settler a "name your settler" box would pop up

then whenever you need to change things around just hit the bell and all your settlers would come including your now named provisioners

[NamesAreTooSimple]

hopefully something is made.

[MattD05]

bump

has this been made or something similar yet?

[gennevermind]

How-about this as an idea (stolen from the old "Ceasar" Game series)

A new task/object available "Mayor's Office" - Just a desk/podium that a settler can be assigned to. Gives the option to "pay" all in the settlement (for a quick happiness boost)

BUT ALSO...

All unnassigned settlers will loaf around the Mayor's Office during working hours waiting for a job.

Someone suggested earlier a craftable work assignment board that was interactive, that listed residents and their tasks. Or a terminal could do the same kind of thing.

 

It's harder because for some crazy reason most of the settlers don't have *names*.

 

Perhaps part of this should also be "The ability to name settlers" lol.

 

i'm on board with that. naming settlers and seeing their statuses on an interactible table or terminal.

 

the game already renames settlers to provisioners, seems like that could be adapted to rename them to say "farmer" "guard" or "merchant"
