Settlement mod

[andrew28475]

is there anyway of making a mod that make settler management easier

 

i.e. tells you what each person is doing and there equipment, so you can assign them and give them better stuff

No, in the short term. However there is a useful workaround made by drdranzel which allows you to rename settlers based on what job you have assigned to them.

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. :(

Haha, gotta love this. People named after the jobs they're doing =P

@darkco this how surnames started in the first place.

That's true, but not what I meant. Generally you don't call people just by their profession,

or worst, their profession + number. "Top of the morning to ye Farmhand #2!" ;P

True. Unless you are a borg

Borg don't even do that, they use designation of where they are stationed and how many are there.

 

Just naming them by their job isn't exactly wrong, you don't know everyone's name in real life if you see farmers farming you call them "farmer". Just random NPC's even those in a settlement are fine to be called what their job is and especially when they are all called Settler by default.

I think what your looking for from what you explained is a better UI that tells you the details that settler is doing. This requires the ability to change the UI, or possibly change it whenever you enter the settlement mode by looking at your pip boy and see the settlement detail list of:

1. Who is this settler
2. What is he doing
3. His equipment he is wearing, as well as a check-mark if he is or is not using power armor.

If we could redesign and make new UI for this entire game, then we could basically get what you needed.

And the ability to change it, and see what jobs are available. Say via a computer or the pip boy
