Necesse Settlements

How Do Necesse Settlements Work and How Can You Manage Them?

If you’ve ever wanted to play mayor, farmer, and architect all at once, Necesse settlements are where it’s at. Settlements let you create thriving villages, manage settlers, and automate tasks while keeping everyone happy—or not if chaos is more your thing. Let’s check these Necesse settlements guide for a gamer-friendly twist!

Planting the Flag: Starting Your Settlement

Necesse settlements start with one thing: a Settlement Flag. Craft it, place it, and boom—you’ve got the beginnings of a new home. From here, you’ll recruit settlers by visiting other villages or stumbling upon them in the wild.

To make settlers stay, you’ll need houses. Think of a house as a room with walls, a door, beds, flooring, and light sources.

Happy settlers are productive settlers and unhappy ones? Well, they might just strike until you fix their living conditions. Talk about high maintenance.

Managing Settlers: Jobs and Automation

Your settlers aren’t just hanging out—they’ve got jobs to do! Use your Necesse Settlement Interface (press C) to assign roles and automate tasks. Here are the key jobs:

1. Farming

• How it works: Settlers harvest crops and replant them automatically.
• Pro tip: Make sure they have a chest nearby stocked with seeds and access to plants.

2. Fertilizing

• How it works: Fertilized farmland grows crops faster.
• Pro tip: Assign a fertilize zone and keep fertilizer stocked in a chest.

3. Animal Husbandry

• How it works: Settlers take care of animals like cows and sheep within fenced areas.
• Pro tip: Build feeding troughs with wheat inside to keep animals happy and multiplying.

4. Forestry

• How it works: Settlers chop trees and replant saplings in designated zones.
• Pro tip: Configure zones to plant new saplings automatically for an endless wood supply.

Settlers can also craft items at workstations, provided you assign recipes. Set it up so one settler farms wheat, another grinds it into flour and yet another bakes bread. Congratulations, you’ve automated your first bakery!

Quests and Rewards

The Elder settler dishes out quests tied to the boss progression of Necesse. You’ll start with item-fetching tasks and progress to boss-slaying adventures. These quests offer sweet rewards, including:

• Unique items (later sold by the Traveling Merchant).
• Rare trinkets for your Toolbox.
• Cool costumes for settlers.

Quests are settlement-specific, thus starting a new village means starting the quest line from scratch.

Equipping Your Settlers

Settlers can wield weapons and armor to defend their village or crush intruders. By default, they’ll grab the best gear from accessible chests, but you can customize their load outs:

1. Press C and navigate to the Equipment tab.
2. Fine-tune what they can equip.
3. Alternatively, give them gear manually by chatting with them.

Just note: no summoned weapons for your settlers—they aren’t that fancy.

Keeping Settlers Happy

Happiness isn’t just a vibe in Necesse—it’s a stat that directly affects productivity and shop prices. Here’s how to keep your villagers smiling:

5. Settlement Size

Large Necesse settlements come with diminishing happiness returns:

• Tiny (0-5): +40%
• Small (6-11 settlers): +30%
• Medium (12-17): 20%
• Large (18-23): 10%
• Huge (24+): None

6. Barracks

Sharing bedrooms is a no-go.

• Two settlers sharing: -20
• Three settlers sharing: -30
• Four settlers sharing: -50

Going Multivillage

Why stop at one settlement? Craft additional Settlement Flags to start new villages on other islands. Each settlement functions independently, thus you’ll manage separate quests and settler assignments. Need to transfer settlers between villages? Use the Open settlement interface (C) to move them like chess pieces.
