I cant build turrets

[Dindle]

As the title says the game wont allow me to place turrets down in my settlements. I have the level required, the materials and the size to place them. The turret does not show on preview either before I place it. Is there a way to fix this bug? as I cannot raise the defence level of any settlement.

Restart you computer and see if works otherwise try different save sometime I lose access to items and doing that works
If that doesn't work go offline and see

Not seen that bug apart from if you do not have something right, either perk, level, material or cost. (I assume you have already restarted the computer/game).

Also have you got any mods for building settlements, maybe one is conflicting.

Can confirm, it didn't work.

Your 220 hours into the game, I'm guessing this is another playthrough (New game).

So what's different now than a previous game, this isn't going to be the first time you noticed you can't build turrets is it.

The worst case scenario, uninstall the game, manually delete the directory to kill any mods that mod manager may miss, reinstall the game, start a new game.

Are turrets the only thing you can't build? Are all other elements of the workshop functional? What mods are you using? Are you using Loot to sort your load order? Loot will show you warnings and conflicts with installed mods, very useful in tracking down problems. Many settlement building mods affect the same thing, and that can cause issues.

It is only turrets that cant be placed (also searchlights) everything else is functional. Im not sure what you meant with the loot thing and I have settlement construction mods but I disabled them and the problem still occured

Ill probably just carry on without turrets rather than start a new game ive gone too far

I think ive found the problem there is a glitched turret in my storage which cannot be placed. I tried to store an old turret and place it back and it worked. so how do I delete a stored turret?

Loot is found at: loot.github.io, and it is a load order optimizer for modded pc games. I use it in conjuction with Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) for mods I download from the Nexus. If you're getting mods from Bethesda.net, I assume it will still work, but I can't verify that as I never go to Bethesda.net.

You may find settlement defense a bit tricky if you are unable to build turrets, search lights I've found to be next to useless so you probably won't miss them.

Yep this is my 2nd playthrough I havent done anything different in this playthrough except added 1 weapon mod in downloaded all the game DLC'S craftable ammo and removed the vegetation mod.

I've not run into that, as I've not tried to store a turret. I move them around alot, but never stored one. Does this only affect one settlement? I've stored walls and floors and such at a settlement, but they are only available to reuse at that particular settlement. So I would assume that if you have a glitched turret in storage, it would only affect that particular settlement. Have you tried building turrets at other settlements?

Yes Ive tried multiple (including far harbour settlements) the stored turret transfers through each settlement. Ive stored turrets before without a problem before. Its just irritating that I cannot build a new one and HAVE to place down the stored one before hand.
