Painting the Town, Paint mixer not activating

[Patriarch Adcus]

Hello all

i've been playing Fallout 4 again ever since I couldn't load my main save anymore of my lvl 101 character; I'm currnetly doing all small sidequests of diamond city, but it seems painting the town is bugged for me, I've infiltrated hardware town through the back, killed every raider and collected the paint.
However I can not seem to activate the Paint mixer to create the green paint abbot needs.

can anyone help me out?

Kind regards
Rasponov

go back to an earlier gamesave, go into the front entrance of hardware town in stealth and just wait, the raiders say a few lines, so that probably has to be done before it works

its basicly a failed attempt with bethesda trying to ambush the player

I did as you said, even leaving the settler alive, however it didn't work, any way I can fix this issue in the GECK?

I have them both, multiple cans even, but the paint mixer refuses to work

Just look up the item ID fpr the green paint and spawn it in yourself

Did you try to just add a green can through console command?
The command should be "player.additem 1d95c 1"

Im not 100% sure but i think you can just finish the paint even without the green paint by just talking to the paint dude.
Other than that you could try to finish the quest itself via console command even though you dont get the caps that way.
For that the console command is "setstage 1d727 200" or switch the 200 with a 30 to get the quest past the mixing thingy.
