Hey all trying to figure out what exactly I am doing wrong at the moment:
What am i doing wrong 2.PNG What am i doing wrong.PNG
As you can see here, I have 0 potential recruits coming yet I do have 1 outpost and 1 vassal. Could someone please help a jet crazed raider please find new "friends". :grin
 
If you look at the bottom hud on the right, all three bars have to be full to attract recruits. You can turn off the Soldier Needs option to bypass this. Otherwise you will need to generate more resources.

So I need to make more vassals to get food or create supply lines from the vassals? Since raiders don't care for farming

Actually I think that the issue is explained on the bottom left of your hud. You can only raid with warriors, which your hud shows that you only have 1 of. The rest of your recruits have been changed to workers and guards. By default, the game will change the recruit's role depending on what you assign them to. I find it's better to turn that off in the city manager holotape/desk or you can manually change them by managing them individually. You will need to have at least 5 set to warriors in order to make an attack.

Raiders do not use supply lines.

Supply lines to non-raider bases will exist with IDEK's. This will only provide food and water for your raider base, it will not count towards you food income for recruitment.

If you need more food or caps income to increase your gang size then you need to do one of these options.
1. Go create a vassal out of a settlement, vassals do not get the -50% food production that raider settlements do. Both Sunshine Tidings and Abernathy Farm make a great vassal for their food income as both can easily have 6 or more agriculture plots and toss in a tool shed and you should get about 150 food.

2. Go create another outpost out of a settlement, as mentioned above you get less income but it increase the area you can reach out to create more vassals. Starlight, Jamaica Plains, and County Crossing as outposts should let you make any settlement into a vassal.

3. Create or level the current commercial and agriculture plots you own.
