Ok folks, not sure if I should be angry or not. Downloaded a patch today for Fallout 4, the first one I've downloaded since buying the game. The patch disabled a few mods I've gotten from Nexus, which isnt really too big of a deal. I can live with that. However, what I cant live with is why it still is telling me I have 0 beds in Settlement!

I've rebuilt almost all the homes there and have beds in all of them, why the hell is it still telling me in the pip boy that I have 0 beds. Especially in workshop mode when it tells me the correct amount there. Why isnt this a priority for fixing?

Please do not tell me Bethesda just put out a patch to disable mods. LOL I'd love to know if they are at least working on this issue as well. I know it's not the only problem in Fallout 4. But it seems to be the biggest one, at least as far as I am aware of. I haven't read too much on people's game crashing.

Playing on a PC here, btw.

And it's not that I am overly angry with you guys, far from it. I love the work done on Fallout 4. It's everything I expected it to be and more. But yeah, settlements.

Unless I'm mistaken, the issues with Settlements and the pip boy cross all platforms, correct?

you guys are testing the patches to see they work as intended. once the patch is fully tested and approved, they will release it across all platforms and then release the patch notes detailing exactly what they fixed. the mods being removed might just be for stability in the patch? Xbox One guy here so I'm just guessing on that part.

You're not supposed to be using any plugin based mods anyway, the game editor is not released yet.

Patch 1 will always prioritise stability and anything game breaking.

'Nice to do' will always come later.

To ask for a 'fix' for settlements implies they are broken. They are not, even if they are not as the OP desires.

Any patch will disregard mods, how can Bethesda second guess those?

I'm sure there will be some settlement improvements

but 2016 seems more likely.

I'm on Xbox one and the stupid settlement bug is completely breaking that part of the game for me. I started a new character and every time I leave sanctuary my water drops to 0. I think my happiness rating is down around 58 and still dropping. I can't really do much with settlements till they patch the stupid thing. I'm kinda mad this is not a priority considering how much its breaks that whole part of the game. Can't keep people happy with my resources dropping to 0 whenever I leave town. 8(

Yeah, I guess your right on that account. While I personally do not see the harm in it, maybe the people at Bethesda do. Who am I to say one way or another. Like I said, none of the mods I've put into the game have been major changes. And I figured since the website out there is already seeing so much traffic, that it wouldnt be a issue. And nothing I have downloaded changes any plans on getting future content from them. When the paid expansions come out, I'll buy them. Same way I did for New Vegas, and Fallout 3.

settlements are broken and bugged

when you are not physically there alot of the settlements are showing wrong amounts of people/food/water/defense/beds

my abernathy farm for example has 15 beds and 10 people, yet whenever im not physically there it has an exclamation point next to it and lists 0 beds

this cause massive drops in happiness, then when i go there all of a sudden it magically comes up with the right amount of beds and happiness goes up

my sanctuary has 19 settlers yet it always says 16 under the map and outpost tab, that doesnt seem to effect anything??

outpost zimonja has 100+ defense yet it always has an exclamation point next to it and says 0 defense, thats not a prob though as i thats companion HQ so i pity anything that attacks there lol.

almost every single outpost i own is listed with wrong stats on map screen and in outpost tab of pip-boy

how can you say that is not "broken"? or not a bug??

Y'know, I don't have a problem with that, simply because outside of the workshop, I never check settlement resources. Ignorance is bliss I guess, but settlements seem to work just fine for me.

Because it's a minor inconvenience that doesn't affect anything. Turn off the TV. Your numbers will start showing up correctly. My Sanctuary build showed that I had 0 beds, 0 water and 35 residents with an 83% happiness on a constant basis and it drove me nuts. I read that the TV being on would interfere with it. I turned it off and it's been correct ever since.

xbox one here.

heh the settler AI's need looking at aswell. I've had santuary settlers completely stop what they are doing and stand around for serveral in game hours. one time they did it from 7pm till 3 am next morning and then went to bed. not to mention they disappear at times and reappear days later. then you have settlers, cows getting stuck on roof tops and nothing you do gets them down.

edit to add: please don't use the TV's as an excuse. I have zero TV in any settlement and have all these issues.

Y'all need to switch to the PS4. I have never had any issues with my settlements showing incorrectly once I turned off the TV's I had on. Now I just don't put in TVs. There's nothing on anyhow.

Come to the darkside my friends. Sure you're FPS will be wonky and you'll have all kinds of weird glitches, but at least you settlements will show correctly.

Welcome to a Bethesda Game! It rains mammoths, horses defy physics, cows on rooftops and you can hide behind a lamp post.

Beth, I love ya!

That was the beta period on Steam, but it is now publicly published, and will come to consoles too probably this or next week, depending on how long Sony and MS take.

As someone else said, first they're going to fix stability and crash issues. Stuff like settlement bugs won't come till the second patch, maybe third. The first priority will be people who can't play the game. Settlements, despite being a lot of fun, aren't game breaking. This kind of stuff is the risk you run buying a game right after release. Personally, haven't had any problems with anything yet

Except it's not about testing anymore, Steam pushed out the patch to everyone.

About there not being game breaking bugs, while the wrong settlement stats is indeed annoying and affects the game play, there waaas this one where rather large number of players couldn't enter fairly large area of the map without the game crashing. Always. In the same place. Which happened to house rather many quest target areas. I seem to recall the first patch did fix that issue...

oh i didnt know that XP thanks lol
