Bug? Starlight Drive-In no buildable area.. Solved in #25

[Truthowl]

At Starlight Drive-In I have a problem. When I tried to access the Workbench it told me to clear the area first. So I cleared out the molerats. But now when I enter build mode, inside the shack with the workbench, I'm forced out of build mode if I leave the shack. The only thing I've been able to build so far is 1 turret inside the shack.

I can't enter build mode while in the parking lot at all.

I have no mods. I read another topic where someone(several someone's actually) was having the same trouble. But the topic got derailed(Hijacked).

Has anyone found out why some of us cannot build anything outside of the workbench shack? I'd really like to try out the dlc workshop contraptions there. But not being able to build is limiting the locations usefulness.

edit: Below I've copied post #25 by @Salvo

Found an easy fix on the bethesda.net forum. Type "resetquest patch_1_6" without the quotation marks in the console and that should fix it. Thanks to Watchman over on the offical forums for figuring that one out.

Same here. I can't finish the questline with the railroad because of this

You can't finish the Railroad questline because you can't build in some spots at Startlight Drive-in? Really? I'm not saying the building problem isnt' a problem, but what the heck does it have to do with the Railroad?

p.s. Apparently this bug came with the latest patch. I'm expecting a fix shortly as this one is gathering quite a bit of noise.

Well I was able to run around to the back of the workbench building and make what i needed, if just barely, not alot of room behind it to work but just enough

Because you have to build the teleporter there, and I can't since it wont fit in the shack

Yep same issue, seen several post's about this, looks like a bigger issue that's gonna need a hotfix!

Nope, I've built the teleporter in Sanctuary.

If you want to build the teleporter with the Minutemen any settlement is fine.

If you want to build the teleporter with Railroad any settlement is fine, but they suggest Sunshine Tidings Co-op. But any settlement is fine, Tinker Tom and Desdemona will show up on any settlement you have chosen.

If you want to build the teleporter with BoS you have to build it at Boston Airport.

So, even if that bug is super annoying, it won't block the mainquest. If you want to proceed with the minutemen questline, just build the Settlement radio beacon very close to the starlight drive in workshop, then turn it off, go to talk to preston and the quest will be completed. when they'll fix the drive in you can go back and make it a proper settlement.

I didn't know that! Thank you so much!

Oh. I didn't know Starlight Drive-in was one of the suggested spots. I always get Taffington or Zimonja.

p.s. You don't have to build where they tell you. It's just a suggestion. You can build it anywhere.

Same problem.

[AskeladdBear]

Same issue, posting here so I can see if there's any fix...
Also, I found that there's an "L" shape of sorts. You can build things along a small strip of land along the side of the shack and behind the building with the big sign, but most of the parking lot is outside of the workshop area. I'm really hoping for a fix on this as the drive-in seems to be an awesome area.

Same issue just bought the game in the sale hopefully patched soon
EDIT:Also seems I cant build the needed generator due to not having enough ceramic but when I checked in sanctuary hills I did.... weird bug.

Did you make a supply line? Otherwise ceramic will stay in Sanctuary.

Same problem 😞

Same problem here. It was tedious enough just to setup a transmitter by running out and in within 5 seconds. However, now my settlers get destroyed since I can't make any defences for them now.
