I think I have the code basically finished for keeping track of local X/Y locations for people at a settlement.
For this release people move to random locations in buildings and rovers when they do activities in them. Later we could add activity spots in buildings and rovers so people will go to specific locations.
People move to random locations outside of buildings and rovers when performing EVA maintenance on them or loading/unloading rovers. People also go to a random location outside a building when waiting to come in through its airlock.
I'm displaying people on the settlement map tool with a blue dot and a label with the person's name to the right of it. It would be nice to have a way of displaying the person's current activity or mission, but I'm not sure how to do that without making the display too messy. Let me know if you have any ideas for that.
Here are a few screen shots of the settlement map tool with people and labels displayed:
I still have a few bugs to fix a few bugs before this release. I also want to spend a bit of time working on a couple of hold over tasks from previous releases: creating a deb file release and adding a new settlement arrival option to the resupply tool.

Lars is working on the new user tutorial as well.
