The settlement is where Bellwright's survival, logistics, and progression systems meet. This seed hub focuses on the decisions that affect every stage of a settlement rather than publishing dozens of thin building pages.

Settlement health checklist

  • Workers can reach their jobs, inputs, tools, food, and storage.
  • Essential production has enough input stock to survive short interruptions.
  • Finished goods have available storage and sensible destinations.
  • Food production covers the population without consuming every worker.
  • Construction is paced so it does not starve current production.
  • New recruits have a defined job before they increase demand.

Diagnose the bottleneck

When output falls, check the chain in order: worker assignment → required tool → input supply → hauling distance → available storage → output demand. The visible workstation is often where a problem appears, not where it begins.

What comes next

Bellwright Companion will add focused settlement tools only when their inputs and assumptions can be kept current. The first candidates are a worker allocation planner and a production-chain dependency view.

See Production and workers for the planned tool scope.
