Have had no new settlers to sanctuary for 2 days now

im on xbox one

i have the radio beacon (yes its turned on)

i have 8 people, 22 water, 12 food, 12 power, 12 beds, 66 defense

happiness is on 82

but im stuck on 8 population, i have 6 charisma if that matters and both local leader perks

when i first built radio beacon 2 settlers turned up almost instantly (built beacon, fast traveled to diner to sell some [censored] to trudy, fast traveled back and bang 2 new settlers) then another turned up not long after bringing my total to 8 but it has been on 8 now for 2 (real life) days with no one else ever turning up, i am unsure what im doing wrong as i have more resource than needed?

i have built a 3 story house and have made plenty of bedrooms/living rooms in the houses all with decorations and looking all pretty etc

also i have been on 82 happiness for 2 days with a red arrow next to it but the happiness value has not dropped any? nor is there anything that i can think of thats causing that red arrow?

i have meet a few guys n gals out in the wasteland walking around called "settler" i have read (and the game tells me) that you can recruit these people but when ever i talk to them (with my red dress and minute man hat giving me 9 cha if that matters) all my character and they always say is just "hi" i dont get any conversation menu or anything?

having issues getting powered items to work, is this bugged?

the blue house to the left of the trail leading up to vault 111 i have set up a sleeping and living area for my peeps, there are tvs and lights inside and industrial lights outside doorway etc and that all works perfectly but in the house i built none of this works, i have power connected but nothing will work.

sometimes when i am moving the light around in workshop mode it will suddenly light up but then when i place it it goes off again, then when i pickup and move it wont light up or it will light up, turn off, light up, turn off etc constantly and non stop but will never ever light up when placed even if i stick right next to a conduit

Have built 2 shops, a weapons shop and a junk shop. Whoever i place in the weapons shop i have a normal conversation interface come up where i can choose to either trade to give them better armour and weapons eg or i can barter, but whoever i place in the junk shop as soon as i click on them it goes straight to barter interface so i cannot give them better armour/weapons.

having the same issues ive seen on here with food crops too, cant pickup/harvest/move certain food plants

I'm with you on that. I have been trying to build my own settlement there for a while and 12-13 seems to be where it plateaus. It could be related to the Local Leader perk but I am only guessing about that.

Send settlers from other settlements there

i only have abernathy farm and that one you do the corvega factory for

they only have there starting peeps which you cant move and the other settlemets i have like red rocket station, starlight theatre and that hippy commune are empty

so i dont have anyone to move

An idea I feel stupid for not thinking of. Thanks.

How do you send the generic ones there and not jus the named companions? I cant figure that part out.

My number of settlers seemed frozen too. I managed to get it to bump up a little by turning the generator and beacon of and on again.

Command then move then choose settlement.

Make sure you're getting a radio signal... Its not on unless you're getting a signal though it might look like its on.

I have had that same problem, I am not sure what causes it. I can cap Sanctuary or any settlement for that matter at 16. I think it might be having multiple settlements with

radios. My drive in settlement never stops with the influx of new settlers so I move them to the rest of my settlements as they come in.

I think I'm in the same boat now. Most of my older settlements are capping out at 16-17 and the newer ones just aren't getting settlers in. Took over hangman's ally hours ago, had plenty of mats so did food, water, power and what not ready for it to build in population but so far it's stuck on three. On the up side, the three inhabitants have 7 beds each to choose from

This is possible and happened to me. Possible bug but not sure. Turned it off, saved, loaded save, turned it on then checked the radio. I was back in business.

Having said that I noticed that there is possibly a random element, or even a soft cap we may not know about since many friends get differing but similar results (depending on the settlements). There isn't enough play time and similar sets of settlements yet to make good comparisons though. Would be nice to get a confirmation with more info so we can accommodate by being patient or moving people.

Genuine LOL, ahhh the comforts of the wasteland, thanks
