Beyond a certain point, maybe even grow without your help. It would be nice to move on to other things, or other settlements, then come back at some time in the future and see what they’ve made of themselves. Sadly, it seems that’s not going to happen frowning_face On the one hand it makes sense to not permanently occupy abandoned settlements that other players would want to develop. Onthe other hand, the lack of persistance is a bit saddening. In MMO\*s, the dragon never stays dead, for the next raiding party. But at least I get to keep my trophy. Some of the titles in the appearance modifier attempt to take on the role of a persistent trophy, okay… But it could also be fun to arrive at a solar system where the NPCs’s thought bubbles mention Overseer ~xXx~LawnMoverHero~xXx~ and where I can use the RadishSaladGaming1980 trading station. 🤷‍♀️ --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.atlas-65.com/t/settlement-overseer/7583)._
