There is no hard cap, but larger populations become increasingly difficult to manage. The community recommends 6-12 settlers as the optimal size — enough for role specialization without becoming overwhelmingly complex. Excessive population can also affect game performance.

The key is advanced preparation: 1) Stockpile 300+ food before autumn ends; 2) Build an underground stockpile for food preservation; 3) Prepare ample firewood for heating; 4) Craft warm clothing; 5) Schedule indoor work during winter (research, crafting).

Raid frequency increases with colony wealth. Countermeasures: 1) Build multi-layered walls; 2) Set up trap zones; 3) Train dedicated fighters; 4) Avoid hoarding excessive wealth (lowers raid frequency); 5) Build a prison to recruit prisoners for reinforcements.

Three steps to boost mood: 1) Provide processed foods (bread, stew) instead of raw food; 2) Give each settler an individual bedroom with a table and chair; 3) Supply beer. If any settler drops below 20 mood, immediately order rest and provide quality food.

Iron ore is typically found 3+ levels underground, appearing as gray speckled patches. Use the prospecting function to view underground mineral deposits. It's recommended to build your colony near mountains to facilitate future mining.

Build a prison to hold captives and provide food regularly. After some time (typically 3-5 days), you can attempt recruitment through social interaction. Settlers with higher Speechcraft skill have better recruitment success rates.
