This is an open topic to discus bugs we are all experiencing regarding the settlements, I hope to have this topic become a major poll so we can get Bethesda to see it to fix these many issues. I'll start by listing my glitches and bugs and the rest are free and encouraged to join in. I'm enjoying Fallout 4 very much its an amazing game but it isn't without its bugs as all Bethesda games do. So lets do are part in the community and help let Bethesda know the problems where experiencing

• Settlers appearing on the roofs
• Settlers not going to assigned posts
• Resource glitch, this glitch makes the number of resources you have 0 also related to this same issues other things listed have had a number issue leading to lowered happiness in the settlement.
• The lights, the lights will sometimes not even turn on even when hooked up
• Happiness, my happiness has been known to decrease for no reason at all, I have everything higher then needed beds included and not limited to entertainment for the settlers.
• Attacks, now this one is a maybe of how the actual raids on your settlements work, I don't know if it depends on your difficulty or what, but the lack of actual settlement attacks is a bit underwhelming to say the least. I want a challenge I don't want to lower my defense to encourage attacks that doesn't seem right, the point of putting up defenses in the first place is to perfect your defense. For me this is a major issues
• Not being notified of an attack on your settlement

i have been unable to assign sturges to do any task at all in my settlement since he created the teleporter to enter the institute... and he has been the sole purpose for me not reaching 100 happiness in a settlement that is other wise well above thriving... or at least i believe him to be the cause as everything else i just as good as it can possibly be... stuck on 98 happiness and dropping :/ also i can not get preston to be my companion, he just stays in sanctuary doing next to nothing and giving me the same ole boring style of mission over and over again ... is he supposed to be able to travel with you? surely he is since you can get a perk from him ...

The Data>Settlements Tab of the Pip-Boy shows that settlements have missing resources (food, beds, power, water, or defense) but the Workshop menu shows true values.

Found this started when i first set up the Supply lines to other settlements. Fixed by removing the supply lines (reassigning the provisioners to regular jobs). Also stored all beds, Water and power - then rebuilt.

R3fulL he is your game is glitched.. I have had the same issue with all of the junkyard dogs just another issue they need to fix. Also Daboss I already knew about that, it'll show 0 water when in fact I have 63 when I go back to sanctuary it still says 63 its glitched. Appreciate the help tho, please share this topic with your friends thx for reading and commenting guys.

can't use sanctuary hills anymore

while exploring, got a quest where i had to talk to preston about losing support from sanctuary hills, but preston have nothing new to say...

can't send ppl to sanctuary hills and they stopped working

That svcks Malthazar thank you for commenting continue sharing this and disscusing this with your friends we as the community make things better in the game and hopefully your problem will be fixed too

Does anyone know how to fix the lighting bug mentioned?? I hate it and it seems like such a simple fix

I was minding my own business when I saw the castle come under attack. I headed there and there was a huge party of raiders heading to the back entrance. I've been stuck there reloading saves and slightly changing strategies ever since, as I can't stop getting a castle full of hostile settlers for no apparent reason.

If one takes ANY damage from me during the raider fight, they become hostile. If I finish the raider fight and the 'Completed defending the castle' objective check appears, all settlers immediately become hostile. Even the Vault-Tec dude! Only my companions are unaffected. Any suggestions?

I have an invisible wall in Hangmans Alley. I can build stuff past the guard post but no settlers will go past it. It's just irritating but not game breaking.

About the lights. Sometimes if you move the light it'll stop providing light even though it's close enough top a power node. Try sitting that light to the workshop inventory, then re placing it.

I can no longer build anything in my settlements. Everything floats off the ground and will not adjust with my camera movements and this glitch has effected ALL of my game saves. Extremely frustrating!!

Has anyone had the floating BED and GENERATOR that you can't place? In build mode?? This is as annoying as hell!!

Place all magazines in the magazine rack and save game. Finish work come home, fire up fo4 magazines have disappeared, well they haven't their in the racks storage, not on display. Annoying.

Stuff placed on tables/shelves clipps through on fast travel/reload.

whenever i have a settler assigned to a guard post that one settler feels obligated to guard ALL the guard posts in the settlement my settler runs from guard post to guard post in the castle I've tried everything including a hard reset of my xbox to no avail if i try and assign a settler to a guard post that isn't assigned the settler assigned to the other already assigned guard post will go there instead and so the same single settler will guard all the guard posts. please fix really frustrating especially in raider attacks they're usually not even there they're walking around or stuck somewhere trying to get to another guard post.

Xbox?

I had this glitch. Switching to another game or app and then going back into F4 fixed it. Seems linked to the resume feature.

Anyone heard anything on why everything in your settlement breaks from time to time.

Arrived at Sanctuary and all turrets, pumps & generators required repair. Fixed them all thinking I had been attacked but there were no bodies, no alarm, nothing.

Then same thing happened at The Castle. Decided not to fix anything, left, came back and everything was working fine???

try drawing your weapon and sheathing it over and over again there is a slight chance that they will forgive you. this happened to me when i accidentally jumped from a house in diamond city right on a security guard while wearing power armor. i kept drawing my weapon and sheathing it and they forgave me. dunno if you tried this but hey hopefully it helps.

Appreciate the response, I was actually able to resolve it though! After many failed attempts I stopped trying to prep my settlers for the fight, and finally just raced to the upper wall and hit the pack of raiders with a couple mini nukes before they ever made it to the gate. Somehow by taking them out at a distance and by myself, my settlers just kept doing their thing.

I had 2 lazer turrets and 1 missile turret just disappear at Star Light Drive-In today...the wires were still floating in the air, but according to the workbench, they ceased to exist...

also had my Gilded Grasshopper I had displayed at Home Plate vanish as well....

The settlement resource glitch is murdering me. I leave for a few hours and my happiness drops below 50. All resources say zero, when I get back they are all fine and normal just like when I left.

Having crafting material issues at one of my settlements. Trying to make a water pump, have all the needed supplies, yet it claims I have zero of the Gears needed. I've tried holding them in my inventory, placing them in the workbench, having them in BOTH locations and even grabbing a surplus of them from another settlement. Restarting the game and Xbox does not work either. This is basically a failed settlement without water, I'm sending all the settlers that arrive to other locations until fixed!
