Low Settlement Decision Frequency

Anyone else feel like there arent enough decisions to be made? Once you start a project, it's going to take 12 hours until completion. In that time, I'd like to manage the village on other ways but have only made a total of 3 decisions in 2 IRL days. Also, I'm not sure if it is just the point of town development that I'm at, but talking to the citizens yields nothing.

Growing a settlement seems to be a long term project. For me, I've been playing my current run for hundreds of hours. I like my settlement but I don't want it to become a full-time job. Visiting once or twice a day is sufficient. Btw, my settlers seem to be a little more upbeat now than they were at first.

yeah it for sure all depends on play style. As for right now, I want to focus on my settlement. Dont have much to do. This play through is also one I've been on since the game came out. I have everything there is. Thanks for the reply :)

The notes for Experimental branch on Sep 3 say this is addressed in that branch, so it will probably roll out for the main game on Sep 4 (or soon).

No, they seem about right to me, would not want to have to keep hopping back to micromanage the place.

It's a shame that you can't have more than one building project at a time, but maybe that is to reflect the limited labour (but is seems to be all by robots?)

I wonder at what point we can begin to invest in the settlements beyond adding the odd building.

I'd like more interaction when I am within the boundary of the settlement. Settling disputes between residents, supplying odd resources to keep a process working, repairing a broken generator, etc. Maybe 1 every 5-30 minutes. It would help the place feel more alive. And if each could effect happiness or productivity a little bit I'd feel more a part of the place. Oo. maybe run to the space station for needed bits. That'd be good.

But, not when I'm outside the boundaries of the settlement. Just tell me about big stuff (building completions, etc) then.
