I usually make a tree house sort of thing, get my settlers in it, and cut off access to the ground.

Do I need someone on the ground to farm, or can they do it from the tree house?

Best Answer

Your settlers do not need to have physical access to the the tasks they've been assigned to. Scavengers and farmers will still collect resources even if they cannot reach them.

However, I have noticed that settlers will not be at the last locations they were when I fast travel away and subsequently return to settlements. This means you may find settlers tending to crops on the ground when returning to your settlement.

How do I keep settlers out of my room?

The only way to do it that I can find that doesn't involve building unrealistic housings is to give them no reason to go there.
  • Assign beds. They will sleep in the assigned bed at night.
  • Assign jobs. They will work the jobs during the day.
  • Build a bar. They will hang out near the bar after work but before bed.
