Rookies

How do you get them?

I have a liberated Haven with quite a few rebels working on Recruiting, for months at a time, but I see next to no rookies coming in.

I think I just saw somewhere that the Recruiting is to recruit rebels in the Haven. What needs to be done to get rookies?

Thanks.

Havens priortize recruiting rebels over rookies. You may occasionally get a rookie, but don't count on it until the haven is up to the cap of 13 rebels. Once it's fully established they should start recruiting for you.

I think my first haven has gone over the cap (I have a few rebels stuck permanently in 'Hiding', they can't be switched to other tasks, looking like they are above the limit) - and recruiting is still on, and I still didn't see any more than like 1 rookie in like more than 2 months.

As far as I have tested, one rebel on the "recruit" job will produce 1 recruit every month, and it works linearly (so 4 rebels on recruits will get you 4 recruits in one month). Also recall that soldier adviser acts like 1 recruit job (or more, I can't tell for sure without having the code). If you are having a slow pace of recruitment then spend more jobs on recruiting, it doesn't come without someone working on it. I typically find 1 soldier adviser + 1 recruiter is enough to keep the population ticking upwards at a reasonable rate.

Can faceless eat your rookie recruits like they do for resources?
