Tradeline without Caravan?

[caesar_andy]

Hey guys! Another question. Is there any way, cheat, code, what else, to delete a specific trade-line? After i have changed my primary home from Red-Rocket to Starlight, Pip-boy shows still a provisioner trading beween Red-Rocket and Abernathy's. But i'm not able to find this guy.

I mean, the trading lane is what? Just about 200 meters? Hill up, hill down, finish. And i can't find this guy or his brahmin. Have tried this for more than an hour now, without any effect. Even waiting or sleeping had no effect in spawning tha caravan at one of both end-points. So i start to asume, that this must be bug. And the Pip-Boy shows a trading lane, that does not exist anymore.

Or are there other posibilities?

Why not simply create a new tradeline between redrocket and starlight?

Really the idea is to have them all linked up anyway so that you get access to all your resources at all your settlements.

Essentially I have made 1 big circle so they are all trading with one another. I used to have them all going to a central hub, but that looked messy (slight ocd).

To be fait you should run into your caravan at somepoint, are you following the roads?

With Vault Tech DLC you get console tounassing and assing peoples to JOB. Just use it, it should be remove him/her at work. Later you find this person sitting somewhere at settlement.

There is bug. I have quit my 280 LVL PC because there is ghost supply lne via Red Rocket and Castle. That bug is OLDER GAMES (Started at release DAY). Some peoples get that over with console commands but soem did not (Like me).

One cycle? With one caravan or with multiples? I mean, is it posible to have one trader stop at more than one point? It looks like, i'm having actually the same issue with the caravan between red-rocket and Starlight. No one to find. And if it's just the same guy, who cycles all three locations, this would increase my area to of search immensly,m but gives me at least a hint ...

And are city inventorys really linked along ALL trade routes? I had thought, that connecting Red-Rocket and Starlight would only connect Red Rocket and Starrlight. If i afterward connect Starlight to Greygarden, are Greygarden and Red-Rocked then connected to despite not having a direct trade-line?

If you really can't get it fixed for whatever reason and the provisioner is gone for good then ignore it. Either set up a new provisioner or leave it as it is. You can also make a by-pass or a closed loop to have an alternative route.

If you need it perfect then you'll have to go back to a previous save file.

I haven't had this problem myself yet.

Multiple caravans. A provisioner can only manage one 'link'.

Indirect links still function to share inventory but you won't see it directly, it's only for resources. Say you have A linked to B and B linked to C, and you're building something in A that requires 5 asbestos and you have none in A or B, but there are 10 widgets in the workshop inventory over at settlement C, and a widget can be scrapped for 1 asbestos. When you are in build mode at A, it'll say you have 10 asbestos, and will automatically break up the widgets in settlement C if you use them.... BUT, when at A or B, there is no way to actually SEE the widgets themselves in inventory at C.

Simplified, you know what you can do, but you don't know what you have.

Oh, and changing trade routes is as easy as catching *that provisioner* in a settlement and either giving him/her another job, or sending them on a different trade run. Warning: If you go find them outside the settlement instead of waiting for them to show up, when you follow them along they're "exposed" to all the bad guys and may actively pick a fight.

I know that it is. ;)

But to do so, i must find the provisioner first. And actually i can't. The distance between Red-Rocket and Abernathy's is - maybe - a few hundred meters. From the hill beside Red-Rocket you can observe the complete Route, but there is no provisioner despite that the pip-boy stated, there is one.
That's my problem, not to reassign them to a new route ;)

However, i think, i can live with it. It's a bitz annoying, but still not game-breaking (at least i hope so ...)

If you ring the bell in the settlement the provisoner came from it should show up. Might have to wait an hour right after ringing.

There is also the possibility they might have gotten stuck somewhere. In that case remainign in those cells is going keep them stuck. Leave the cells and come back at a later time. This will force the AI to place those provisoners soemwhere else when the celsl are loaded again.

To maximize your settlement population you should choose 1 settler from each settlement and assign them to be a provisioner to a single settlement like Sanctuary. In other words all provisoners are assiged to move between one settlement and Sanctuary.

This way only one population is removed from your settlement's workforce. Otherwise, were you to assigned 5 settlers from Sanctuary to be provisions to 5 different settlements then your available workforce in Sanctuary to toil in the fields 16 hours a day for a single tato and bottle of water would be maxpop-5.

Your traderoute map should look like a star with lines radiating out of Sanctuary and no lines between other settlements. If that helps.

To find your provisioner set a chair in your settlement near the border and sit for an hour at a time. They'll show up eventually.
