Bunker Hill quest for Caravans completed - still no trading posts

[Darkkhelmet]

I completed the Bunker Hill quest, killed Keller, and rescued the three prisoners but still can not build caravan trading posts or the brahmin feed trough. I looked through all things I can build but nothing there I can find. I also can't seem to figure out how to interact with a brahmin to anything. Essentially I have no clue how to get caravans and brahmins to do anything.

Settlers in this game do not do anything by design, so whats your issue?

Trading post should be under Misc Resources, but I've heard of bugs.

The posts are Passive, and pretty sketchy. If your Trading post isn't already on the route a trader takes, they will never end up there by normal means. The only way to "Force" a trader to arrive is by saving/reloading, in which case the game should load a trader in.

This for one: "Return to Kessler to receive some rewards, namely 400 caps and the ability to build caravan trading posts at the player's other settlements." I got the caps reward but can not build caravan trading posts. Unless the trading posts I CAN build are caravan trading posts. It doesn't say that though. I would also like to be able to build the brahmin feed trough. Settlers need to be assigned to most things but that wesn't the question.

The Trading post is the caravan trading post. No idea why the Brahmin Feed trough would be missing though, that's a basic thing.

Neither require manual assignment.

Thanks, I'll take a look there. And suggestions about the troughs?

It may not be missing. It's more than possible I just can't find it. I'll look again. Looking under furniture->misc there's a bathtub. Is that the trough? Found it. Resources->misc. Thanks.

No, both the trading post and brahmin trough should be under:

Resources > Misc

You *killed* kessler. That's not how you get the trade caravan piece, though...

I think he meant Zeller, Judge Zeller.

Yes, Zeller. Now I need to gather raw materials. I have been neglecting my settlements so I could quest. I guess I have not been fully focusing on the whole game, just treating it like a FPS.

Ah okay :) Kind of crucial :D
