key1001 Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 (edited) I have couple of ideas on improving the UI of the very vague and hardly explained feature of the game - settlement building. I find it quite troublesome spending minute after minute, chasing around and looking for the NPC responsible for my crops or guard posts. You are able to identify who's in charge of what, by highlighting a settler. But most of the times, the highlight is obscured so it is hard to tell which object a certain settler is in charge of, and especially when the settler is far away. For players' sakes, the names of the settlers should be changed to titles like "farmer", "guard", or a "scavenger", much like how a settler becomes provisioner when sent on supply mission. A second option would be to forget about the latter and create an ability for the players to change the names of the settlers to whatever they'd like. On top of these ideas, an ability to select the settler while his/her job is highlighted would be great. Along with these, a full roster of all settlers and their roles would make job management easier. ::Referring to Fallout Shelter:: it can save people a lot of time, should any settlers stray away from their workplace. It is also excellent for quick-assigning a free settler to a specific bed, to a job, or even equipment/weapons. Adding a settlement overview screen should also give you bird's eye view of the settlement (much like an RTS game) up to the edge of the settlement borders, not just settler management. I find snapping very weird in this game, so it only makes sense that players should be in first person view and located close to the building site. So at the moment, I cannot think of anything to improve on the building aspect. Another "pseudo" idea that I have is to assigning "HQ" to a chosen settlement. A unique feature of your main base of op. would be having the access to settler management of all your settlements. So, excluding the building aspect, you'd pretty much be able to manage your remote settlements without having to go to every individual ones yourself. Please discuss. With all the mods pouring out, expanding and improving settlement feature, I see a bit of potential. It would only get better if the UI is changed, instead of overly simplified one like the vanilla.
