Why do you need to improve settlements?

Improving Settlements beforehand will make more Settlers move in than, for example, if you had only 2-3 beds and a lone water pump.

Building up your Settlements before turning them into vassals, you can feed more raiders with fewer vassals. This allows you to make more raider settlements and get much more food from the daily tribute.

This is necessary to make Raiders happy without your intervention. Vassals supply all raider outposts with food and building materials. Raiders do not like to work, so if you want supplies in order to build things at your raider Settlements, you will need to either subdue them or threaten them into supplying your outposts. The benefit of this is twofold - Raiders don't like to 'pick fruit' as Shank puts it, and you do not have access to supply lines for Raider outposts (they won't do that work either).

How to assign a plant to a settlement?

In Settlement Management, click a Settler then go to your garden. Pick 'assign' with a plant selected. It should say, "This Resource has been Assigned".

Mutfruit is 1, so a Settler working 2 mutfruit could also work 8 tatos (to reach 6 food). If you start with 5 half food plants, then later plant 7 more, the Settler will automatically take up responsibility for those other 7 plants. Great, huh?
