I might move down to there, it's fairly flat also isn't it? Much soil around for growing?
Very flat area, open plan and a couple of buildings for initial shelter before you expand with more houses.
Only a small-ish area, but enough to sustain at least 8. I may have missed certain corners where there maybe more soil.
Are people just building up one main settlement and ignoring the rest? Doing one seems like a chore right now, let alone 5+.
I'm only just building sanctuary as they aren't happy due to sustained attacks.
Otherwise, I've been building a little here and there, starting small and when number of settlers increase, I add more.
The easiest setup was Covanent thus far. All walls up, just needed to put guns and traps and that place is good for 10+ settlers.
