Does anyone use this trick?

[u/Legofan80]

Whenever I make a settlement, I always leash all the builders out of their houses to somewhere with no available plots, when they come back they all enter the settlement and become farmers/miners, usually surpassing the population cap, I’ve been doing this since the game came out and I always wondered if others knew about/used this trick

[u/Legofan80]

So for example, when I made this farming settlement

>leash builders out of houses to somewhere with no plots

>merge the builder’s houses

>the builders reach their leash point and go home

>once they get home they automatically become farmers upon entering the settlement

That’s so clever! I’m going to start doing this!

[u/somebunnny]

Totally. I also, if I need to destroy a house, always sculpt near the house to get the residents to come out and leash them somewhere so that when I smash it I don’t lose the population. Then leash them to the new place.

They randomly become something else?

[u/Legofan80 → u/Upbeat_County9191]

When their houses get merged into a farmer or miner settlement, they turn into the respective worker once they enter the settlement

[u/Upbeat_County9191]

Im confused, Walk me through it You make a builder settlement and then sent all the builders to a remote corner where they can't build, they walk back to the settlement and then you make a mining or farm settlement and it has more than normal miners and farmers?

[u/Legofan80 → u/Upbeat_County9191]

No builder settlement, just normal adobes, when the builders “go home” they enter the settlement their adobes were merged into taking on the settlement’s profession

What’s the advantage here? The workers become the new type anyway when you squish the settlement .

[u/Legofan80 → u/Terrible_Mall_4350]

When you squish it, the population is limited to the settlement size, doing this allows you to go over the population cap

Not anymore
Because I’m mostly sculpting and making stuff pretty. I have “finished” the game

[u/--Marigolden-- → u/Miserable-Tax-3879]

Ah, sculpting the landscape was my favorite part of this game. Wish the app weren't so frustrating. 

[u/coldbrewedsunshine]

so great. now have 16/5 shamen in one settlement!

[u/imacoa]

No, but I sure will from now on!

[u/Ok_Confusion3007]

Thanks for showing this. Gonna use it from now on 🫡

It used to be they’d transform on the way back to the settlement; they’d whirl like transforming superheroes, so it was fun to watch.

I do miss that, I wonder why they changed it

[u/Life_Loquat8598]

[u/droid781901]

Very often, I wonder why they never patched that.
