Editing Setting:CATastrophe/Settlements (section)

==Advice for Settlement Creators==
When designing a settlement, we think it is generally best to start with some minimal statistics to build from. It is not necessary to fit your description to any specific system (CATastrophe is being adapted to ''three'' different systems, at last count), but there are certain items of useful information that could or should be worked into your description.

* Place name
* Population of settlement, approximate if necessary; rough estimate of size (i.e. living space)
* Tech level -- what do they have access to?
* Trade: what do the residents generally do to make a living? (scavenging/farming/repairs/etc.)

It may also be helpful to come up with a ''history'' for your settlement; fleshing out a backstory may actually give some useful clues as to what the place is "currently" like.
