So a few game time hours ago I helped defend a massive super mutant attack at the Slog (two of them had missle launchers & two had mini guns), but 3 settlers ended up dying permanently, including 2 "named" settlers. One of the ones killed was the mechanic ghoul that gave me a quest for toy parts (can't remember his name). So I ended up failing his quest. But my big concern is that happiness keeps dropping, even after I repaired everything and beefed up the defense. Last I played it was down to 39 from 60 something. I know happiness drops after an attack, but I've never seen it drop this low. Curious if anyone else had this happen, or if there is something else I can do to correct it. All food/water/beds/defense/ect is well above what the population of 7 needs.

if that other dead was deirdre, she's their vendor, might do extra damage to happiness if she dies

(i'm also convinced she and wiseman got a thing going on

Sometimes it does not mean anything, can be just game bug. Also I remeber that I had to rid of their beds and to build them new ones(in order to make happiness go higher than 60%). Only after doing it happiness went up to 80%. Not sure what exactly was wrong with these beds...just bugged.
