Patrol
| Mode | Fortress with Direct defense. |
|---|---|
| What it does | Walks between two waypoints, switching after reaching the current one without a target. It can pursue eligible raiders within 6 tiles of its current waypoint, adding horizontal and vertical distance on the same level. |
| Where you can order it | Two explored walkable waypoints. |
| Selection limit | Select 1 to 32 living defenders, without duplicates. At most 32 individual defence orders can be active through this command. Squad members take orders from Military. |
| Civilian settings | Orders ignore civilian labour priorities and Areas, while preserving those settings. They grant no equipment. |
| Needs and care | Hunger, thirst, exhaustion, incapacity and active treatment can interrupt the order. An order can remain recorded while its owner receives care. |
| Blocked routes | An accepted order with no route stays blocked and retries after 4 in-game hours. Clearing the route does not instantly move the settler while time is paused. |
| Standing down | Cancels the direct order and returns the settler to care, Areas and timetable. Their militia-duty setting remains. |
