| Summary | 0004487: NPC starting TUs too low to build well. | ||||
| Description | I just found a new settlement, and wanted to build a well for the NPCs living there. However, a well costs 40 TUs to build and the morale cap for not having the well is 30, which means the NPCs all start with 30 TUs. This means you need to spend a turn unproductively to get the NPCs up to enough TUs to build a well, and then they can start actually doing useful things. Since new settlements already start with a bunch of resources that can be used to bootstrap the local economy, the NPCs living there should probably start with a bunch of TUs. (Especially since the resources can be transferred around between settlements, but the TUs can't.) | ||||

The starting TUs are fine, having to not spend all your TUs on the first turn is fine (it doesn't have to be unproductive, you can have two of the NPCs scout and the other one save TUs). Perhaps later I'll drop the cost of the well so you can build one with 30, though. Later on, if it ever gets to the point that multiple wells have a use I may just have most settlements start with one. As far as the boostrapping: the initial resource stockpiles are actually placeholder. They'll probably still be relatively generous once balanced, but right now they're a lot bigger than I intend to leave them. |
