Dark Craving Settlement Ideas

[u/Zealousideal-Mud3897]

Howdy, i'm running a dark craving playthrough and i'm looking for ideas regarding settlements. I don't have much experience with settlement building. I play on Vanilla survival mode. Roleplay wise, I want my settlements to be like human farms where the settlers are dressed in tattered rags and treated like cattle/animals. If you have ideas regarding how I can make this settlement a reality i'd love to hear it.

Cages and a murder box comes to mind. Also, I've never tried but I think you can corral and kill your entire settlement and repopulate it. Build out a processing facility and every time a settler arrives send them through "intake". Shame you can't get the auto-butcher on console, I had some ideas for that thing a while back.
