The efficiency of a settlement depends on several resourcing choices.
Overview[]
How one wants to run their settlement is entirely up to them. However, settlers do have certain expectations of comfort and safety. The condition of a settlement is determined by the following factors:
Settlers assigned to a scavenging station will passively generate junk while you are on your travels. Likewise, unassigned settlers will also gather junk/scrap, but at a slower rate. There appears to be a cap after the first few scavenging stations, so building a ton of them will not be beneficial.
Notes[]
- One can view theit settlement's rating by going to the Workshop menu. Anytime the display is shown in red, that resource is failing to meet the settler's expectations. The Pip-Boy also displays all allied settlements, and any settlement with a substandard rating which appear with an alert.
