what is the purpose of the NPC's we find and can take home?

i have found many of these NPC's with job titles.. have them follow me back to my base and ask them to stay..but why? they don't move, do anything, and all their inventories are empty to trade with.

is this a wip thing or am i missing something?

The inventories being empty is a bug, once they reset (every 24 ingame hours) they should have items available, if you have levels in the trading profession.

it doesnt seem to be a bug. they either need to be inside a building or near a fitting crafting table. i have 7 npcs so far 5 inside my house with a full inventory.
and 2 out side in the woods or on my farm with an empty one.

so there seems to be a vicinity requierment.

There are no requirements for them to be in a house, but there has been some bugs with the npcs. The devs have posted a fix, but maybe there's still a hiccup with it.
I recommend joining the discord for the game to stay up to date on bugs and such and report issues you might encounter yourself: https://discord.gg/yR3EuEnYyf The devs are very active in there.

In the bug thread the dev implied that shouldn't be happening and asked me to confirm the version it was happening in.

They should have inventory right aways.

I've found 3 NPC looking for a new home: 2 hunters and 1 farmer. I have them at my base and buy everything they sell regularly as well as selling my garbage to them.

Question still (sorry to post in this recent topic, I probably should be creating a new one?): why some NPC names have green color and some blue? What this color of NPC names means?

I assume it's just bugs, quirks of the game code.

probably a rarity system. my only blue/purple named unit was a herbalist.
so maybe that profession is rather rare. or he has more statz than common npcs?!

n by was i mean they lose their color as soon as they join your settlement

I just acquired a Miner and Herbalist NPC and brought them back to my base. They do not have anything to sell.

Also the discord link posted above expired.

It takes 24 in-game hours before the npcs have a full inventory after you bring them home.

Hmm I usually set the links to unlimited number of invites and no no expiration but might have forgot to change it. But the discord link is: https://discord.gg/yR3EuEnYyf or you can find it on the Steam store page for the game too :)
