How to de aggro settlers?

[Arnie Rimsy BSc.SSc.]

The fact that settlers can aggro on me during built settlement mode because I jumped near them is dumb as hell, in typical Bethesda fashion.

Name ways you guys have found to de-aggro the morons who have walked in your way and been given a paltry graze by you and decided you were then their nemesis. :D

This is not Borderlands 1. Don't jump on their heads.

Also, it is not stupid. If you damage a settler they will become hostile. That makes sense.
Maybe don't build while in power armor?

If you are talking about the damage you do when falling in power armor the easiest solution is get out of it when in settlements if this is a serious issue for you.

Otherwise when in doubt there is a mod for it: https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/9019

Non-snarky answer: just run away, far away. Let 24 hours in-game time pass. They'll settle down when you return.

Snarky answer: kill them all. You'll feel better doing it.

do you have the perk that causes power armor to damage people when ya run into them? if so thats why they are getting hostile

[Arnie Rimsy BSc.SSc.]

Yes, I do have the perk and I knew that's a reason, especially with the jetpack.
I've had so many different ways I've aggroed my settlers hahaha it's stupid as hell to aggro them through walls because I jumped/flew/fell near them. I have no idea why they added civilian damage; it's really dodgy and not immersive IMO. They settlement building just sucks in the sense of it being fairly half added in the game.

It doesn't make sense to aggro allies and if there's a perk to not damage followers, why not extend it to all allies or in the Local Leader perk haha

Bottom line: it's pretty pathetic that you even need the jetpack to do things with building. Example: there's no way to jump or move about well when moving wires so too bad if it's just out of your reach. You'll have to waste time flipping through sections. Build a one time staircase then go up, do the wiring, then delete it. So unnecessary lol

Also, yeah, I got that trophy on BL1. Keen on a modern port sometime.

It is definitely a stupid issue as it doesn't work right. Between hurting settlers through floors/roofs or them spawning in my locked rooms it's absurd.

Unfortunately I'm on PS4. Any mods will disable trophies lol I'm on a vanilla run. First play through. Level 95 currently. Just trying to experience it all.

My issue with the armor is it's hard to build without moving about and building and then deleting stairs etc constantly. + the jetpack helps heavily and there's no reason a villager who I just built a fortress for would harm me for landing near their cow etc. It isn't immersive. I've long given up defending settlements also as it's tedious and then the way your based are attacked without you in the actual cell ignores any defences, walls etc too so it's just really disappointing and it doesn't add to immersion.

Yes, one of the main reasons. Unfortunately it constantly attacks them through walls, roofs etc. I have a base to fly into and it spawns random settlers there who aggro. It's my first run so I certainly won't be building in Sanctuary again haha

Well this is where console is useful for tcl but sadly you are on console.

As for attacking just limit the amount of active settlements and reduce what causes it while increasing positive effects such as additional defense as you can see in the attack chance on this page: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Settlement

Yeah, I am familiar with console commands. I used to find them helpful with Morrowind. I'm on PS4 as my girlfriends brother leant me Fallout 4 disc copy and I hadn't happened to try it for years haha I brought the full edition digitally recently but unfortunately saves don't count from disc to digital due to different file names so I'm trying to smash out the whole vanilla experience before restarting on my digital copy with mods. There's a fair few decent ones as far as PS4 goes that I'm keen to try out. No build limit, no resources needed to gather etc

I've aggroed settlers with a lot of stiff and in general they get in the way which is infuriating lol I got DLC after spending a good ten hours on sanctuary so it all got deleted and I've found the bells, population terminal etc really useful.

A lot of stiff
