</>What does Content Castaways (Happy Crew) do?
A growing crew is the heart of your island, but every settler you take in is another set of needs to keep on top of - food, water, rest, and a good mood, all slowly slipping while you're busy running everything else. Content Castaways lets you take that pressure off. Keep 'Crew Never Goes Hungry' on and your settlers stop getting hungry, thirsty, or worn out, so they'll happily keep working without a break. Flip on 'Crew Stays Happy' and their mood holds steady no matter what, so nobody sulks, downs tools, or packs up and leaves. Use one, use both, or turn either back off whenever you fancy the normal challenge again. Each toggle only touches your settlers - your own needs are untouched, so pair it with a personal helper if you want the full easygoing island. Perfect for big, ambitious colonies, relaxed sandbox runs, and anyone who'd rather design their dock than chase after grumpy castaways all day.

</>Common questions about Content Castaways (Happy Crew)
What does Content Castaways do in Havendock?
Content Castaways is a Havendock mod that keeps your settlers looked after without constant babysitting. It has two independent toggles. Crew Never Goes Hungry stops every settler getting hungry, thirsty or worn out, so they keep working without stopping for a break. Crew Stays Happy holds their mood steady, so nobody sulks, downs tools or packs up and leaves. You can run one, the other, or both together, and switch either back off whenever you fancy the normal challenge again. Importantly, it only touches your settlers, since your own castaway's needs are left alone, so it's ideal when a growing crew becomes more upkeep than you want to manage.
What's the difference between Crew Never Goes Hungry and Crew Stays Happy?
The two toggles in Content Castaways cover different sides of settler care in Havendock. Crew Never Goes Hungry handles your settlers' physical needs, so hunger, thirst and rest simply stop dropping and they never have to break off work to eat, drink or sleep. Crew Stays Happy handles their mood instead, keeping every settler content no matter what's going on around them, so morale never slips into sulking or walkouts. They're fully independent, so you can hold moods steady while still feeding your crew normally, or remove the food-and-rest chores while letting happiness rise and fall on its own. Most players run both for a completely self-sufficient colony.
Does Content Castaways affect my own character too, or just the settlers?
Content Castaways only affects your settlers in Havendock, since your own castaway's hunger, thirst and rest still tick down as normal. That's deliberate, because the mod is about taking the crew-management load off your plate rather than making yourself invincible. It means you keep a personal stake in the game while your colony looks after itself. If you'd like your own needs handled as well, pair Content Castaways with a personal-needs mod so both you and your crew stay topped up. Kept separate like this, you can decide exactly how easygoing you want island life to be: hands-off crew, hands-on captain, or fully carefree with both.
Can I keep my crew happy but still let them get hungry in Content Castaways?
Yes. Because Content Castaways uses two separate toggles, you can keep your Havendock settlers in a permanently good mood while still letting hunger, thirst and rest tick down normally. Just switch on Crew Stays Happy and leave Crew Never Goes Hungry off. That's handy if you enjoy running kitchens and keeping the larder stocked, but you're tired of a stray bad mood spiralling into a walkout. The reverse works too, letting you remove the food-and-rest chores but keep moods swinging naturally for a bit more life in your colony. Either switch flips back off at any time, returning that side of settler care to Havendock's normal rules.
Why would I use Content Castaways, and does it pair with a personal-needs mod?
Content Castaways is for players building big, ambitious Havendock colonies who'd rather design their dock than chase after grumpy, hungry settlers all day. Every islander you take in is another set of needs, and this mod removes that pressure so the crew looks after itself. Because it only covers your settlers, it pairs perfectly with a personal-needs mod like Sea Legs, which handles your own hunger, thirst and rest, so running both means the whole island, you included, stops worrying about upkeep. It's a great fit for relaxed sandbox runs and anyone who wants the colony to hum along quietly in the background while they focus on the fun parts.
