How can I have 22 settlers?
So, can someone explain how I have 22 settlers in Sanctuary when limit is 20? I have 10 charisma level and 2 local leaders. These are my stats:
Food: 42
Water: 67
Power: 70
Defense: 106
Beds: 21 (I didn't expect to get 22 people lol)
Best Answer
10 base + 11 more from your CHA level of 10 = 21.
Adding Codsworth to this makes 22.

Each settlement has a default max population of 10 settlers plus each point of Charisma the character has, which has a base max of 22 (10 from leveling and +1 from bobblehead and You're SPECIAL! magazine respectively ) before factoring in extra charisma from armor and consumables.How I prefer to talk to settlers

Answer 2
I have the Charisma bobblehead and max Charisma, and can maintain 24 settlers per settlement. I'm not wearing special clothing, and it happened because I had 5 people at the settlement, and then sent 10 from one other settlement, and 9 from another, on accident because I thought I had sent the same ones a couple of times.
The 24 people are there to stay and they're operating 17 shops + plenty of food and water + 100+ defense, stuck at 97% happiness, but all I've seen online says 21 and 22, nah, I definitely have 24.
I could assign them all and I have left since on another save because the 100% happiness is taking forever, just to come back multiple times and they're all still there.

Answer 3
Caravans passing through will temporarily increase the number of settlers you have in the settlement. I believe the same applies for faction patrols as well.
Answer 4
I believe the settler limit is actually 10+charisma+local leader rank.
Most of my settlements are pegged at that number instead of just 10+charisma.
Answer 5
Have 10 charisma.
Use a drug that reduces charisma then use "you're special" book near Shaun's bed and select charisma. The pick up the charisma bobblehead.
Congratulations, now you have 12 permanent charisma!
Answer 6
I'm not sure but it seems special settlers does not count in the limit (like the 'Long' familly), I've got 19 settlers in Santuary but only 6 in charisma
Answer 7
I have 29 settlers at The Castle. My charisma is at 15 when I have my special clothing on that boosts my charisma. You have to send settlers from your other settlements to reach 29. I haven't figured out a way to get past 29, if it's even possible. I'm on PS4 btw.
