After going from day 250 to day 400 with no new settlers... it became clear that winning raids was the only thing that was gonna get the settlers to the encampment. Mazes were constructed to offer extra insurance, for victory was the only thing that would make this all work. As a matter of fact, the mazes were the only reason why it wasn't working in the first place... for you see, the mazes were constructed in the very period from day 250 to day 400, the exact period that there were no new settlers... The construction of the underground maze led to the noncooperation of the settlers, when it came time to battle... It didn't help that all this confusion blinded me to the real problem... losing the raids.
