Donate some things, wait, donate some more things, etc etc. At the moment, it is best to just donate a few things at a go as too much donated at once may cause crashes. Each level of city may want more of a thing, and if they just don't want it, they will give it back to you. If there's nothing donated, they will use what's in the workbench, but if it's shy of something they need for the upgrade, it won't upgrade. It ensures there's enough junk for city upgrades. Giving your settlers stuff through the trade menu + 1 ammo will ensure your individual settlers are well armed!ĭonating junk prevents you from accidentally using it when building things yourself. They are converted into a temporary defense rating bonus and the item itself vanishes forever, so be careful that you don't accidentally donate your own stuff. Weapons and armor are not given to settlers if you donate them.
