No settelers coming to Vault 88?
I have my vault radio beacon on. Even went as far to build a radio beacon that you would use in any other settlement.
I turned on teh water plant, have 20 or so beds, and have even finished the vault's questline.
But for some reason I have been at 4 population since the start of the DLC.

I have the three I interviewed, and one guy that came later. AND THAT IS IT!


Am I doing something wrong?

Go flick the switch on the beacon. It could have been damaged when the protoype exploded.

If not then you just have bad luck. You get a chance once per day to attract new settlers, your chance is higher wiht high happiness.

Use the switch in the control room. Three of them will show up first. More walk into the place over time.

I see you ignored the part where he has four settlers and completed the quests.

Ive tried it. Wandered around for like 2 hours after waiting and nobody showed up.

I pointe dout the beacon because there was other topics about the feedback emp from the bike expeirment damaging the generator and beacon.

Two hours is nothing. Apparently you missed the part where I said one chance per day.

That chance of getting a settler is also based upon your settlement happiness. If your happiness is garbage like below 70% I do not think you will get another settler unt you are above that 70% happiness. This is why when you first set up a settlement and turn on a beacon you only get one or two settlers at first then they do not start coming until around 70% happiness. Unless you prelanned and built up everything prior to turning on a beacon and it jumps straight to 80% happiness.

I haven't tried it yet but I guess you can send settlers from other settlements just like everywhere else. Got a few extra at jamaica plains? ... send them over.

Yes.

You were also able to send the junkyard dogs the other day, then when I tried again today (after yesterdays patch) Vault 88 was not on the list.

Are we talikning in game days here?

Anyways, ill have to check my happiness. I doubt its too low seeing as i have all the basic necesities and such. On top of that I opted for the happiness boost from the soda fountain, so taht should add to that.
Ill check real quick and get back.

Each game day has a chance to get settlers.

The choices you made during the quests have no effect on the bonuses provided later. This is why they were protoypes.
