About the Settlement Interface

The Settlement Interface is displayed when the player uses the Open settlement keyboard Control (C by default). It is used to control your Settlement and to automate the actions of your settlers within it. The buttons are:

1. Settings
2. Settlers
3. Command
4. Equipment
5. Diets
6. Restrict
7. Defend Zone
8. Work priorities
9. Assign work

Here follows a brief introduction to the function of each button's purpose, but view the linked pages for full information on each one.

Settings button

In Necesse, the settings panel for settlements prominently displays the current settlement's name at the top. This panel offers three key options: the top button allows players to change the settlement's name, the middle button toggles the settlement's status between public and private, and the bottom option unclaims the settlement from the player. Additionally, the owner's name is shown in the bottom left corner of the settings panel, providing clear identification of the current settlement proprietor.

Settlers button

To keep track of your settlers in a settlement, you can use the Settlers button. This will show all your settlers and their happiness level. Hovering over a settler in the menu will indicate their location on your screen. Clicking on their face in the menu will select that settler.

Use the Settlers button to:

• Set the bed a settler uses.
• Easily keep track of your settlers.

Command button

To more directly control settlers, you can use the Command button. You can use this to make settlers follow you, or stay in a specific location.

Use the Command button to:

• Make a settler join your adventure party.
• Guard a specific location.

Equipment button

Settlers can equip and use armor and weapons. If allowed, they will automatically choose what to use if they have access to a storage with Equipment.

Use the Equipment button to:

• See the equipped items of your settlers.
• Manage the items a settler is allowed to equip.

Diets button

To avoid Hunger, you and all of your settlers need to eat food regularly. There are three main classes of food set by Diets for each settler:

1. Simple Food
2. Fine Food
3. Gourmet Food

A Diet can be set which may include any number of items within each food type.

Use the Diets button to set:

• The default Diet for New settlers joining the Settlement.
• An individual Diet for each current Settler.

Restrict button

If you want to keep your settlers in specific areas, you can Restrict your settlers to specific restriction area. Settlers will only do work and interact with things that are inside their restriction zone.

Use the Restrict button to set:

• The boundary and layout of restriction areas.
• The restriction area a settler will follow.

Defend Zone button

Settlements need to be defended. Settlers will automatically defend themselves by attacking anything hostile within the Defend Zone.

Use the Defend Zone button to set:

• The boundary and layout of the Defend Zone.
• Whether or not the Defend Zone will automatically update to settler housing.

Work Priorities button

Settlers will do tasks automatically. You can use the Work Priorities button to arrange which tasks a settler will prioritize first. You can also disable certain tasks.

Use the Work Priorities button to:

• Make settlers prioritize certain tasks first.
• Prevent settlers from doing certain tasks.

Assign Work button

Settlers will rely on work zones to do some tasks. You can use the Assign Work button to set these work zones. Certain work zones can only be used by specific NPCs.

Use the Assign Work button to:

• Configure and set work zones.
