I had incorrectly posted this in the main SimSettlements forum, oops
I started a new game to try out the newer recruitment mechanics etc, and despite having about 15k worth of resources in the recruiting fund, it doesn't matter because I've never been able to fill all 3 bars. I kinda think I understand how filling the bars works (have recruits assigned to worker role and assigned to plots?) but here I am near level 60, with over a hundred recruits, and I've never managed to use the recruitment system. Running a new raid is a tedious matter of waiting for Jammer/Recruiting Station to grow population by 1 per day, finding the new recruits and manually changing their role to warrior.
I like the concept of the new mechanic, because the old approach of just showering you with tons of recruits was a bit much, but it feels like a really hard binary check - bars not full, you get NOTHING, bars full, you get EVERYTHING (presumably, I haven't actually managed to fill the bars yet). Consider pro-rating it, i.e. "your bars are half full, you get X recruit(s), 75% full, Y recruits"
Also I'm aware documentation is in progress, really looking forward to when there is something offline to read about how this works. Thanks!
