Status

Your settlers have information under their names in the game, and that information helps you know how your settlement is doing.

If you are low on food, workers may go hungry, or if they become a guard after a day of being a worker they will become short on sleep. Paying attention to the status of your settlement inhabitants will allow you to avoid anyone going on a stealing spree, or even going insane.

(do a lot more questioning about people's experiences with this)
