Settlement management system - A placeable resource in workshop mode

[dagincourt88]

Go to resources > Misc and you'll see a desk, chair and whiteboard next to it. This is the settlement management system.

 

When you assign a settler to it, he/she will sit on that desk. This settler performing this desk job, gives your settlement the following benefits

 

• More crops per settler
• More security per settler
• More junk gathered per settler
• More happiness
• More spawn rate for new settlers
• Settlers assigned to this desk job are considered "mayor" and give out radiant quests

But this isn't the main advantage of the SMS. The main advantage is this

 

When you interact with that desk (settlement management system), your character will run the clipboard animation that some vendors and doctors use.

 

A new dialog opens up, which provides the following data

• Number of settlers
• Number of settlers assigned to food
• Number of settlers assigned to security
• Number of settlers assigned to scavenging stations
• Number of settlers that are idle
• Auto-assign all button

 

More functionality can be added later on. What do you think?

Can you actually make this? If yes, you'd get a lot of praise.. current settlement management is a pain.

I like it!

 

possible functionality to set a "uniform" to outfit all settlers with the same gear. and have that gear refresh using the amount of scavenging? thus equipping all the settlers with the same armor and weapons? and continue so every settler is feasibly stocked with stimpacks ammo or grenades and can immersively restore used items?

 

otherwise, some kind of box that receives a document like the "Shipment of" type thing that randomly kits out your settlers could be useful

 

sorry, I'm on a bit of a roll hijacking threads. and I swear I don't mean to. just, your idea gave me Ideas!
