Administration Department Overview
- The Administration Department is led by Theresa. It's in charge of maintaining the morale of staff, staff training, and the policies and procedures that govern how HQ runs. This can greatly help the other departments with their projects, and HQ overall.
- The Administration department energy equals its workers' combined Charisma stat.

Policies
- Administration can set or repeal policies to overwork/overuse HQ Staff to increase available department energy, or aid HQ Staff. Each policy takes 5 Administration energy until it's repealed.
| Policies : | Description |
|---|---|
| Employee wages | HQ Workers paid 25 caps/day. Reduces likelihood of the "Desertion" disaster due to overwork |
| Negotiated wages | Workers are paid based on their primary stat, their energy increases (requires Employee wages and Treasury vault) |
| Coffee breaks | Projects take a little longer but departments have more energy (requires coffee room in the atrium) |
| Large custodial zones | Facilities Department can be overworked by up to 50% |
| Home paperwork | Administration Department can be overworked by up to 50% |
| Timed breaks | Logistics Department can be overworked by up to 50% |
| Unsupervised installations | Engineering Department can be overworked by up to 50% |
| Incident reports optional | Security Department can be overworked by up to 50% |
| Skip peer reviews | Science Department can be overworked by up to 50% |
| Ignore expiration dates | Food Logistics can be overused by up to 50% |
| Increase brahmin packloads | Scrap Logistics can be overused by up to 50% |
| Coffee can safes | Caps Security can be overused by up to 50% |
| Maximum water pressure | Water Engineering can be overused by up to 50% |
| Rolling brownouts | Power Engineering can be overused by up to 50% |
Notes:
- When you view the numbers on the HUD in HQ, they won't change with these policies in place, but when you enter Command mode, you'll see your max increase.
- The idea is you can allow these numbers to go into the red, risking disasters. Bit of a risk/reward system when you just want to push the limits and get more projects done. |
¶ Events
- Administration can run Events. When you build Bars or Lounges, Administration can have an Office Party Event. This reduces the chance of workers deserting.
- Once you have built the Staff Training Room, Admin staff can run Training Events to train your HQ staff to make use of a Secondary Stat to increase energy available for their department, other than the one that directly benefits their Department.
- By default a worker will contribute their department's primary stat as energy directly. For example, each facility worker will provide 1 energy per strength.
- The training allows them to start contributing their other stats. The more trainings they "attend", the more of that stat they can contribute.
- For example, let's say you run Biohazard Cleanup Training. Now all current Facilities staff will provide 1 additional energy. Then you run that training again, now all current Facilities staff with at least 2 perception will provide 2 additional energy. You run it a third time, now all current Facilities staff with at least 3 perception will provide 3 additional energy. etc.
- The MAX bonus energy that can be earned for a particular settler is equal to their Secondary Stat.
- On Rassignment from one department to another, if the settler has received training for the Secondary Stat for their old department, that training does not apply to the new department. If the settler is assigned back to their old department, their previous training will apply.
Note: City Manager Holotape Setting Override Timers: ON does not apply to Administration events.
