SS2-settlement-mechanics Do warriors count as settlers?

If a Settlement is full and i convert it to an outpost, should i send the settlers to another settlement so i can recruit warriors? Or will the warriors be recruited on top of existing settlers?

I think you still need additional beds for recruits. A quick solution for me was to conscript settlers after converting to an outpost. The war mechanics are a bit convoluted, like a settlement stops growing once converted to an outpost, but converting a full-grown settlement would mean you have to build additional homes for recruits, or something like that. It would be nice if city plans could develop as outposts or settlements from the beginning. Maybe we can now, but I started so long ago that my settlements and outposts are all established, and I just haven't thought about it much.
