How do I get settlers and merchants?

[Mr. Valentino]

I've tried searching and have seen some people say a green arrow pops up over the pioneer, and then I've seen where people (and devs) have said you upgrade the shack. I have bought resources and I've also built buildings to make the resources but no option to upgrade them :(

[Mr Ash]

Once you have met their needs, i.e. built alcohol and bread supply chains, you will get a message that "one of your buildings can be upgraded". You will see an up arrow over the shack. Click to upgrade to a house and settlers.

is this documented in game? it's not obvious what should be done to achieve having Settlers in the camp.

If you look through the options in the bottom left corner eventually you will come across a tab that shows you the requirements of the settles they need bread clothing and alcohol you’ll need a saloon to distribute the alcohol tbh the merchants are really needy I have no idea why they need jewellery and they seem to consume it like food and need to constantly consume it or they go on a killing spree you’ll also need a church

Are the icons green in the overview? You have to produce every resource. You can't just buy them. Then you should be able to upgrade your shacks in order to get settlers. If not, fill out a bug report ingame so we can take a look at your savegame.

I'll look into the colourings. I do buy in raw resources for the production buildings to make to proper resources

OK, so at the bottom left corner I found the POPULATION LEVELS button and now understand more about what you said earlier EB. It would appear I am missing COATS, so off I go to get that sorted. Thanks for the directions.

Also found that I had to select the COAT production by clicking on it. :)

You also have to build the distillery to make the alcohol.
