Is there a way to do it besides finding the settler/provisioner and issuing new orders? I need to change some stuff up but I can never catch the settler assigned to the supply line at their home settlement, or anywhere for that matter but I imagine I'd need to catch them in their home settlement so I can make the change anyway. Please tell me there's some easy way to cancel the supply line without having to wait for the settler to return home where I can hopefully catch them before they set off again.

you can try using the bell to call all the settlers I believe it's in the resources section of the workshop. if you still can't find it you can try using VATS

Will the bell call a provisioner settler that isn't actually in the settlement?

to be honest I don't really know, the bell should I quote "call all nearby settlers" but I don't know in what range, or if it is related to that settlement 's settlers only.

look out for the loaded brahmin, provisioner should be close to it

This and also fast traveling to the home settlement or settlement they supply sometimes helps spawn them after you wait a few minutes. It would be nice if they had a posted trade hour board where they could also list what settlers are assigned doing/and the times they "work". I don't have trouble keeping track since I just have one 16 people settlement, but later...

Easier said than done when the supply line is half the length of the map and there's no way to know what pathing the settler would use.

I had already tried that hoping it would spawn the settler in but no luck with that.

kind of common sense in games they need to add a popup list for settliers where we can select them. The concept of settlements isnt bad, but it def needs a 2.0 version to make it easier for us to use and navigate.

Yes. They might take a minute but they'll all trail in soon enough.

I'm not sure this is accurate. I rang the bell at the correct settlement to see if that would work but the provisioner didn't show up.

The trade route management definitely needs improvement/refinement. Because I did not fully understand how it worked I have a couple of settlements that have 3 provisioners calling on them. I want to cancel 2 of them. I have been able to "move" one of them but it is painful to wait around for them to show up. And if you have 3 calling on the settlement how does one know which of the two need to be cancelled since one of the 3 is going to the correct location?

We need a trade route management option that lets the player stop a trade route between designated points, reassign a trader to another route, and call a meeting of all traders on all the routes at a specified location (for instance to do a mass uniform change).

It would be much easier to manage them if you could manage them outside the workshop zone, like engage them in a conversation anywhere they are. Currently if you talk with them outside the workshop zone all you can do it trade with them. I want all of their workshop zone control options available anywhere I talk to them.

It would also make management easier if the provisioners actually went deep into each settlement. Perhaps a descending order of importance, e.g., if bell available go there first, if no bell but siren go to siren, if no bell or siren go to workbench. Right now some of them just seem to barely enter the "green zone" before they turn and leave again.

How do you create trade routes? I have Local Leader 2 and every time I try to assign a settler to trade routes it says they are unable. I open the construction menu, select the settler with the e key then I press q and I get the error message.

How long did you wait, and did you ring the bell more than once? Also did you include companions based at that settlement in your head count?

Don't select them that is for assignment within the settlement. Just look at them and they will highlight then press q.

@OP try the siren it pulls everyone in the entire settlement to it.

Ah! Cool, thanks.

I have found all my supply line guys twice or more since posting and it was by fast traveling to the settlement they are from or going to, they show up quite often.

I have been trying to stop two supply line guys for more than an hour and have been back and forth between the 2 locations and they never show. The idea about ringing the bell does not seem to make them come to the bell. I wonder what the zone of control for the bell is?
