Fortress

In Fortress you give settlers orders, then keep the people and supplies available to carry them out. A builder needs materials and a route to the site. A farmer needs planting supplies. A wounded settler may need someone to bring care to their bed.

These guides describe the systems enabled when you choose Start your colony in this build. Older colonies can keep earlier rules. The most visible difference is construction: current colonies let you draft a plan and press Build, while older colonies can give the order as soon as you mark the map.

If an order is sitting there, select it and read the reason before adding another one. Missing materials, blocked supplies, held work, unsafe roofs and disabled labour each have their own checks. Supplies somewhere in the colony may still be out of reach of the settler who needs them.
