I have plenty food water shops and defence yet the happiness just doesn't want to stay up... When I leave my settlement the stats show no defence no water and no food which is a lie. I've now resorted to AFKing in the settlement in an attempt to get 100 happiness but so far it's taken hours to get to (as of writing) 81^ what can I do apart from wait for another 3 hours AFK to get this up? Will this be fixed any time soon?

EDIT(2nd attempt it closed while writing it , ):

It's gone up to 84^ since posting this, it seems to go up +3 an hour or longer (I had it AFKing long before I made this post.) which if stupid because I want to go play the game but I want the 100% happiness achievement which I can only get atm (I hope) if I'm in or near my settlement... PLEASE fix this ASAP!

If you can take any solace from this... you are not the only one with this issue.

I am currently trying something in regards to the bug showing zero resources - something I have not tried before. I'm currently placing crops, turrets, water pumps, beds, generators, beacons etc on small wooden floors and placing them. They do register and settlers still pick crops even through the wooden floors. I am also placing crops, water and turrets on normal flooring/ground and seeing if it those that disappear from the resource total when the pip-boy bug happens.

You can mitigate the issue by not fast travelling, removing radios and televisions, slowly building each settlement as you go along, ensuring you give settlers jobs before assigning them to beds. Also ensure the AI pathing doesn't get stuck behind walls/buildings as this can effect happiness.

In regards to getting the 100 happiness I can't help as I've never done it due to giving up on settlements - I just got this idea yesterday in regards to wooden floors but still only got Sanctuary as it is a pain the ass trying to get crops and wooden flooring to mesh.

Cheers

Let me know how your wooden floor idea works out, my happiness has raised by another 3 points exactly an hour after I last noticed it change now 87^ so It will hit 100 in about 5 hours worth of AFKing... Just gonna watch movies while it goes up.

Well the wooden flooring worked for the crops but not for water, defence or beds.

Won't go into specifics as to what I was doing - spoilers etc but I didn't fast travel and the pip-boy glitch happened again with just Sanctuary as the only settlement I had upgraded (was going to turn in another settlement quest but didn't get there).

So it kind of worked as in the crops but not for other resources (beds, water, defence) but when I got to Sanctuary all totals were back to 'normal' In regards to beds...I waited till 2am and all settlers were in their assigned beds nd th 2 settlers and Preston were doing the rounds.

Oh well such is life lol

Oh and good luck with the settlements

This latest update seems to have done the trick, fast travelled right down the bottom of the map and it seems to be working! xD

EDIT: NOT FIXED DON'T GET YOUR HOPES UP.

I SPENT HOURS GETTING IT FROM 81 TO 92 AND NOW IT'S GONE BACK DOWN!!! You honestly don't understand how pissed off I am about this! I just CBA I've put hours upon hours and I get shafted after I think it's fixed but it's not what a joke of a game does anyone even test these things before release?
