Settlement buildings and devices - which to prioritize?

[RamSanMig 8]

The Settlement buildings and devices are FRUSTRATING. You need screws to build building A but building A needs the device that builds screws, etc, etc! Plus the no-hack!

With that out of the way, how did you prioritize building structures and devices? Which did you build first? Please share. This is becoming very tedious. 😅

Prioritise the HQ first, as the Expedition gets you many resources fast + daily resources. Second I recommend upgrading the Barracks, after you get enough contracts for your Mercenaries, to upgrade them further, to progress further in the Expedition.

It took me 10 months to upgrade everything in the Settlement and start upgrading the Drone, good luck.

Thanks! After breezing to the initial parts of the game, you are suddenly anchored down by Connor and his plans. LOL. Who's your preferred mercenary?

An Expedition squad consists of 3 Mercenaries, who fight, and 1, who does something in the background. The mix of 3 fighters I like:

1. Jack "of all trades" in front, because he is the best tank

2. Chris, because of area damage and lowering enemy armour.

3.1 Connor, if another tank needed

3.2 Tucker, for explosive zombies

3.3 Karma, for healing
