I have really been enjoying this game so far but i have started to need to build smaller settlements farther from my main town in order to be closer to mining or for farming expansion.

Even when i build everything they need water, walls, fire pit, storage, drying rack, and a place to pray some of the people move or get materials from the wrong areas. IE get grain from city one take it to city 2 and then make bread and then move it back to city 1 when city 2 has no food at all.

I understand the game treats all settlements as one. But it would really help if you could assign an area by circle or square as a second settlement and have the population there work within that area. Unless a resource they need is just not there then they would look at the 1st settlement to obtain it. Also maybe even have the option to turn that off as well if you wanted to. IE they operate totally independent unless you turn it off again. One idea might be a town hall building or early years a elders hut. Limited storage building and then settlement radius.

Also another thing that would also help in the micro management side of things would be the option to click on an empty spot in a warehouse and or grainary and then select any of the resource types to ask people to fill that spot with that item from other places.
