Companion Missing, Survival, What do?

[CplDarkeye]

So yesterday when I was playing I had Ada with me, decided to go for a swim and then tada she was completely gone, I decided that hey maybe if I just try n get a different follower and send her to a settlement it'll be fine. So far no, I have not been able to find her and since I can't use the command console in survival, what do? kthx <3

Save your game. Change to very hard, use console command to teleport to ada
Once you know her location, reload your survival save game by change character and go to her.

I like using the Mr. Handy thruster for Ada's legs. She can pretty much go anywhere and not make all kinds of noise. Pretty cool watching her go skimming across the water.

I don't know if this will work but it works for me with Dogmeat. He disappears regularly. I tell him to follow and he is gone.

Go to the Institute and back to CIT. Your companion will join you. It is worth a quick try. I always use this method.

According to the fallout 4 wikia, she goes to Red Rocket Truckstop when dismissed without previously selecting a settlement.

Otherwise, I assume she works like all other companions; that go back to the last settlement they were assigned to. So if you last sent her to Sanctuary, for example, then she will be found at Sanctuary.

She was dismissed when I picked up a new follower, but she's not at the settlement I told her to go to, but I'll try out your idea Strauss.and I'm more or less just using Ada as sort of a scavenging companion having her customized to carry as much as possible :D thank you all very much :)

She gets dismissed choose where to send but She doesn't go anywhere cos she's lying broken. Find her then fix her with a robot stim.

She wasn't broken, she was stuck on a random boat in the harbor

I had mr.handy with me and well... I did the castel mission, i saved at the ship mid sea and when i got to the castle, codsworth wasn't there with me, I loaded to last place where I heard his sound an found out he was stuck underwater... I can't trade or get him out of there

I've not had to user follower console commands in FO4 yet, but this is the ultimate solution if nothing else works. Double check the commands below are the same for FO4, tho won't hurt anyways if you try, I doubt they've changed from Skyrim.

No console access in Survival? May need to back out to normal mode, or use a survival mod that let's you access console, they exist.

press tilde key [ ` it's below escape] and type each line below followed by [enter] key.

Look up your followers Reference ID online and replace RefID below... Write it down. Once followers start disappearing it tends to happen more often.

prid RefID [enter]
enable [enter]
moveto player [enter] [IMPORTANT: use only one, yes, first has a space the other a . ]
[OR...]
player.moveto [enter]

then press tilde key to back out of console. Good luck

you can just use a Vault-Tec Population Management terminal. (build it in your settlement.) and put VIP tracking on for Ada... (works for any missing companion.)
