Vault 88 radio beacon does not work
I’m using mods and I’m 100% sure it’s one of them that’s the issue but I really don’t want to lose quest progress so I’m asking for help here.

I used a transfer settlement blueprint for vault 88. The game is telling me to turn on the radio beacon but it’s not working because it says it needs power. I tried wiring it to a generator but the wire can’t clip through the wall. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Read up about how power distribution works inside a vault.

The radio beacon in the original generator room should already have the power it needs, so I assume something with settlement transference messed it up. That, or something happened with the generator.

I don't know offhand if the radio beacon provided has an attachment point for a wire, but if it does you can also look up the "wire glitch" (which allows you to ignore clipping).

I think the generator got messed up. There’s a new generator over the old one. When I move the new one the old generator does not give power anymore.

I’ll have to try the wire glitch

Inside the reactor room there is a switch, once turned on the vault will transmit the signal.

I don't know if you’re stupid or just lazy.

Some people would forget this, wasteland is just trying to help. You make a thread basically asking for possible side solutions, someone offers one, and you say that crap?

Come on now..

Most people on steam wouldn't head up and admit to a mistake/frustration. Respect on you for recognizing that.

I'm not really certain how to fix this glitch, but my brother had the same one. I think he got it from completing and exploring other vault 88 objectives, before doing the radio one.

Is it possible that you did the same thing?

I just gave up and reverted to an old save before I transfered the blueprint. Lost a day of questing but its fine by me.

Sorry to hear that, but at least you had a semi recent save available. Good luck in this next build cycle!
