Settlement management

[Kushaja]

Hi all, sorry for making this pointless thread but i was wondering how do i bring up the settlement management screen?
I simply dont get it

Settlement Management was removed some versions ago, actually. You can, however, get the guardian power list to construct buildings by activating the green Ilari crystal in the settlement.

And yes, pretty much everything requires higher levels skills than you have without a residence tower. Hopefully one spawns as a mission reward for you. One has yet to spawn in my old giant world and so I haven't had a chance to do anything with the citybuilding yet.

Although that does beg the question, is there much point to the citybuilding now if you can effectively do nothing with it and still advance just fine?

You're mistaking the "now" for the "how things will always be."   We have big plans for guardian powers (some prior to 1.0, most post-1.0), and on advanced continents you're unlikely to be able to go it alone (in other words, without getting the guardian powers to help you) without an extreme spike in difficulty.

We've tried that line before

So is the settlement management screen removed for good? I kind of liked it and thought it had potential, as it gave a little base building aspect to the game.

Yeah, it is. At least until way after 1.0.

Not until way after 1.0 -- permanently. We removed it not because we ran out of time, but because the concept and presentation was confusing and bad.  The core desire to have base building is good, and after 1.0 we want to do more of that, but sticking it in a tertiary interface like citybuilding was is a mistake I won't make again. It's either on the world map or the side view areas that it needs to be.
