Beacon Recruitment
Beacon Recruitment is the default system by which new people settle in your cities over time if a Recruitment Radio Beacon is set up.
This setting allows you to turn this system off for all of your settlements - even those that have Recruitment Radio Beacons set up and running. Settlements using a "City Plan" will have Recruitment Radio Beacons automatically (they are built into all city plan blueprints).
Unless you plan to get new settlers via a mod, you should leave this ON as there are very few "recruit-able" settlers/NPCs in the vanilla Fallout 4 game.
Available Settings:
- Options: ON or OFF
- Default: ON
What These Settings Mean:
- ON: New settlers will show up in your cities automatically over time. In other words, the default Beacon Recruitment system will function like normal.
- OFF: New settlers will no longer show up in your cities automatically over time because a Recruitment Radio Beacon is set up. You'll need to recruit everyone yourself out in the world.
Additional Information:
Technically, you could go to each settlement and turn off/scrap/remove any existing Recruitment Radio Beacons to accomplish this but this option allows you to do it right from your Pipboy (or a terminal). Which is a huge time saver if you have a bunch of settlements already running.
City Plan Limit
If a settlement/city is under control by one of your assigned leaders, the plan they're using will be used in factoring the maximum number of settlers that can be recruited to live in that city. This will ensure that everyone who comes has somewhere to live and work.
Note: This only applies to beacon-based recruitment.
The city plan being used will no longer impact the max number of people who can be recruited to live in a settlement/city.
