Glitched settlement at Nordhagen Beach

Post » Sat Jan 23, 2016 6:54 am

Hello,



I've ran into a bit of an issue with my Nordhagen Beach settlement.


All other settlements work just fine, but with this one, the only way I can get new settlers is using the recruitment beacon. When I want to directly move a settler from, let's say sanctuary (doesn't matter), to Nordhagen, I press R to move, the list of settlements pops up and I can see and choose every other settlement in there except for Nordhagen. It's just not in the list at all.


This is rather inconvenient, as I've built an extensive settlement there already, just waiting to be populated. I've gained access of the settlement's workshop through a kidnapping-rescue mission that sent me to Easy City Downs, where I rescued the person and completed the mission.


I'm using a set of mods, which I don't think are causing the issue, as I haven't installed any new mods at the point where Nordhagen worked and then it stopped working.



I've also tried slaughtering all of the 6 settlers currently inhabiting the place, believing it might reset the settlement somehow. This bloodbath has, however not solved my problem either. Weirdly enough, after I killed them all, fast travelled across the map and back, the settlement status shown on the map was still 6 settlers and same level of happiness. It's like it's frozen.



Is there perhaps a console command out there that would allow me to become non-allied with the settlement and then get it allied again to reset it? Or something of this sort.



I'm running the latest beta patch (1.3.47), which could also be the issue, as I believe it's possible that the settlement has glitched out around the time I installed it.



EDIT: I tried uninstalling the beta update and disabling all mods, but neither solved the problem.

UPDATE: After a lot of experimenting and going through my past save files, I found the mistake I've made that caused this. While building the settlement, I've moved the workbench on Nordhagen Beach almost to the other end of the building area, which caused the settlement to somehow not be registered as a settlement anymore. So I went to my old save game, got the previous position of the workbench with getpos and getangle (it was still not the original placement though.. it seems like you can't move it TOO far, but you can move it a bit), hopped back in my newest save, put the workbench to its place, did a quicksave/quickload and voila.. I can now send people to Nordhagen.



tl;dr: DON'T MESS WITH THE WORKBENCH TOO MUCH, BAD THINGS HAPPEN.



This topic can now be closed, I believe.
