Key Features and Modifiers

• Infrastructure Matters: Access to waystones and homestones provides a tangible happiness bonus, emphasizing the importance of your settlement’s infrastructure.
• Revised Penalties: Experience more nuanced penalties for inadequate housing, such as outdoor beds or shared bedrooms, making these crucial aspects of settlement design.
