Castle Settlement Issue

Post » Fri Dec 11, 2015 9:43 am

Hi, I'm playing Fallout on Xbox One.

I'm having a weird issue with the Castle. It says I have 9 settlers there, but they are nowhere to be found. I have Preston and a settler by my farm on the wall, and Ronnie Shaw is also wondering around the place. I know I have one on the recruitment radio and one on a mortar. But the rest are nowhere to be found.

I've noticed with a few places that when you go there sometimes all the settlers are congregated in the same spot then they move off. Such as with Starlight Drivein they spawn near the centre (which was annoying when I forgot to remove the radiation from the water). Is there a spot in the castle where I can find my settlers all bunched up?

On the note of Settlements, Anyone with any news on a potential patch to stop the issue of settlements randomly losing all their water when you're not there and thus you lose happiness. Making the achievement for 100% happiness a right pain.

They usualy tend to either gather at the radio in the middle or they go help with the crops. But i've noticed they also fall from the wall if you put your crops to close to the edge.

Probably a silly question,but have you tried ringing the bell yet?

Few things have happened to my settlers(not at the castle though) that cause them to not be there.

Crops near cliff edges,i had 7 settlers all stuck on a rock surrounded by water on 2 sides with no path back up to settlement due to large rocks.

Very rarely during an attack,if some settlers run out of the settlement to engage an enemy force that isn't part of the original attack(normal enemy spawns) sometimnes they will stay out there even if they have jobs in the settlement like farming.(I had to kill these ones)

And another rare bug,settler going invisible.He was still in the settlement i believe,the crops were being tended,i had looked in every nook and cranny and way out past the boundary of the settlement to no avail.When i arrived at an attack on settlement he just appeared again.

It's also possible they have clipped inside of some object,or if you have built any roofs anywhere,check those.Settlers love teleporting onto roof tops.

Can't give you any specific place inside the castle they may be,just gotta go over it all with a fine tooth comb.

PS,if you have a settler from the castle as a provisioner,remember to factor that in.

Oh, yeah, the provisioner thing... I totally messed that up in Sanctuary before I understood how the supply chains worked. I had most of the settlers in Sanctuary running supply chains all over the place so when I was in Sanctuary it seemed like there was no one there despite having like 16 settlers...
