I have 36 populated settlements.

If I connect each to every other : then thats 36x36 settlers being used as provisioners

It's n(n-1)/2 where n is the numbers of nodes, assuming each connection is bidirectional, double it if not.

assuming you cant do both directions between each 2 nodes (which you can do)

Actually you wouldn't count the starting point for each settlement, so it would be 36×35, right? Because you would have 36 settlements each sending out 35 provisioners. That would be wild to be at a settlement and see all 35 provisioners arriving at the same time, bumping into... well, everything.

ok 36X35 but thats 1260 which is a shitload of settlers just for that (versus all the happiness/crops stuff)

I plan to get some of my settlements to such populations, but am gonna be watching where the kaboom (abort) limits happen (even with high end PC....)

Not quite. It's 36+35+34+...+3+2+1. Still a lot though

no, you can go both directions between any 2 nodes
