Settlements are locations the player can create and customize. By gathering
items throughout the
world , players will be able to customize the size and appearance of the settlements, create trade routes between multiple settlements, set up defense grids, attract new settlers and more. Editing of the settlements will be via a WYSIWYG (What you see is what you get) editor which aims to make the customization a visually straightforward action.
