Many times I've looked at my settlement data (in the pip boy) and seen something along the lines of "settlement A has 2 people, 3 food, 0 water, 4 power, and 0 defense, 4 beds" so I rush to settlement A and see that I have 18 people, 30 food, 80 water, 90 defense, and 25 beds.

This is infuriating because I have 15ish settlements, and many quests to get more, but I have to "physically" travel to each of them to see if they have what they need.

Has anyone else come across this problem? Is there a "player.modav fixthismess" command or other solution?

Yes, the pipboy data is unreliable. All my settlements have those ! next to their name, but if I go there everything is ok and the numbers are completlt different.

At least it's not just me. Hopefully it gets fixed soon because a huge part of this game is taking over the commonwealth one settlement at a time. I really don't want to check in on 30 settlements one at a time.
