We are aware this doesn't resolve the problem for people who don't live own claimed land (settlers and lawlessfolk ) and we are actively looking into a way in which we can do so. There have been some great ideas shared in regards to improving this system, and we appreciate the feedback.

We'll have a patch going out soon which will introduce a new structure to the game. This structure can be used by settlers/folks who live on lawless or unclaimed islands to have a simpler way to feed and pay their crew.
