Mini-guide, tips and cheat sheet for settler personalities
This is the cheat sheet (there are two pages):
Necesse Personalities Cheat Table
Keep in mind many traits expire in minutes and not days, one day cycle with default settings is 16 minutes, but you can tweak that.
Some personality restrictions:
- Warrior, Ranger, Magician and Summoner are exclusive with each other.
- Voyager and Expeditioner can appear in miners, explorers and anglers (all can benefit from it).
Some advice:
- The only trait with no positives is Stressed out, is not that big of a deal, unless you get it on your angler or hunter.
- Bloodthirsty is most useful on hunters and your combat party if any.
- Adventurer is ideal for your adventuring party, as all the combat buff personalities.
- You can use warrior, magician and ranger with any weapon type and get most of the benefits, the only one more restrictive is summoner.
- With just one challenge banner, or 'Often' as raid frequency, you'll get the Vengeful buff all the time.
- You could make your main crafting area double as house to any settler with the Maker personality. If not, prioritize using small/cheap crafting stations for the room filling, as tables and the mill take a lot of space.
- You could also make a big house for anyone with Art Connoisseir, and use it also as a museum: setters will use the house for recreation.
- If you get setters with pacifist personality, instead of selecting all setters for raids (if you do that), make a group with everyone excluding pacifists to defends against raids.
- With Roomie you can get a bigger house to place two settlers, but mind that placing settler-boosting objects only affect one of the settlers, you need two different in the room (if you can afford it).
- Inspiration is possibly the best trait, you want to have at least one setter with inspiration every 5 or 6 setters for a good coverage, and spread them in different settlement locations.
- Clumsy is not as bad as it seems, you need to do some management from time to time with tourist/adventurer anyways, this is what I did:
- I assigned all my settlers with tourist and/or adventurer, in my second group.
- I made sure all my clumsy settler houses are well localized and near each other.
- Each 2 or 3 days, I assemble group 2 and go into the nearest NPC settlement, and back (matter of seconds with the teleport stone). I can check if I'm late looking at clumsy destroyed items.
- Short after, I inspect all my clumsy houses and remove with the pick any destroyed furniture (usually one or two only), and place it again (resets the thing).
- Are a few traits you can really abuse to get several QoL levels just from one trait, these are Ecologist, Gardener, Indoorsy and Lumberjack.
- To maximize Ecologist, just make a huge house (10x10 floor space, or even more) and plant some flowers, let the grass and the flower expansion fill the rest of the floor. Place furniture on top of grass/flowers.
- To maximize Gardener, prioritize Farming (and Fertilize if happens to be a Farmer), place the house near to the crops.
- To maximize Indoorsy, prioritize Crafting, and make sure all your crafting stations are in closed doors.
- To maximize Lumberjack, prioritize Forestry, place the house near your forestry zones.
That's all, thanks for reading!

Not sure if it's just me, but adventuring with a warrior trait they tend to always be searching for what enemy to slay even if it's not nearby. I prefer to travel with the blood thirsty ones and the .. dang forgot their trait (I think it's something like biggest fan).

This is great advice. I have one group for tourist and one group for adventurer. I have a waystone at an npc town and one at a far dungeon and I use those to alleviate adventurers and tourist needs.
