First Day

## The First Day

Once you begin, **hit the spacebar**.

This will pause the game, and give you time to figure out where you want to build your settlement.

This will also give you time to set up the settlers you have to start with.

The first Tab you should look at is the Management Tab:

At this point you should add which Weapons, Clothes, Armour to wear, depending on their stats.

If you're new, picking All is a good choice for everyone.

Next you should look at your Schedule Tab:

Many people have many different ideas for what is the best schedule to use.
I personally think the Default schedule works for most things. The nice thing about **Anything** hours is they normally work during those hours and if they need leisure they take it, and if they are exhausted they sleep.

But play with it and see what you like.

Next is the Jobs Tab.

As you notice they all start with all 3's - which works, but not for the long haul.

Here you can set job priorities, so that when settlers aren’t specifically assigned to a task, they will prioritize available tasks based on the settings on this menu. The borders around the numbers give an indication at how skilled a settler is at a given task: the brighter/lighter the border, the higher that settler's skill is in that category. Gold is the highest/best border indicator, while dark brown indicates a very low skill. Tasks such as Convalesce, Haul, and Steward don’t depend on skills at all, which is why they have a grey border.

I normally start off with making Tend and Convalesce a 1 for everyone.

Why? Because I want everyone to heal everyone and go to bed when they are hurt.

I like to give everyone a 2 in hauling so they clean up a lot.

I next bump everyone's 2 star skills to at least a 2.

I also make someone a 1 in research as this is important at the beginning of the game.

It is also important to understand that jobs to the left have a higher priority over the jobs on the right, even if they are set at the same number. So what does this really mean? If all jobs are set to 3 then Hauling is the LAST job they would do.

Now you need to allow the settlers to use the items they brought with them.

Use the Icon tool with the hand

And drag over the items like this.

Now **UNPAUSE** and let the settlers grab and equip items.

Now **PAUSE** again.

## This is where the fun starts:

### Things to do next are:

Build a room for storage/stockpile

Build bedroom

Build work area

Research

Getting Settlers Warm and Fed

Farming

Managing Your Settlers Moods

Prepare for Attack

Going Medieval Build a Room

Stability while building is important.

Going Medieval Stability

In my story I have picked a Mountain Map so I happen to have some Limestone nearby and not so many trees, so I am making some floors using limestone and placing a stockpile on it. But in a valley it would be better to start chopping wood and using that to build with.

Before your settlers will research or make meals you have to add tasks on the stations.

You can do this by Clicking on the Station then in the top left of the open screen there are tasks. Click on the task you want. In the case above it was Chronicles. Give it an amount or select Forever of until you have in the drop down menu. In some cases (like cooking) you can also edit a task and select or deselect the types of materials and resources you want to use.

One of the next things you should consider is where you will be placing your Cold Storage
