Castle Cleanup [SOLVED]
I have unlocked the castle settlement and started building, however, there is Mirelurk ♥♥♥♥ and mud lying around everywhere. I left to Sanctuary and slept for 5 days, it is still here. What do I need to do?

[EDIT:]
The mud only seems to clear away when the settlement belongs to the minutemen, meaning you will have to complete the quests that get you there to trigger the cleanup script.
Thank you to scoobierb5 for this solution!

Well, without using console commands, you have to loot every mirelurk corpse and then wait a few months. Those piles rot slower than a...thing...that rots slow.

You can't drag them into the ocean?

The Mirelurks aren't the problem, they already disappeared, some of them I also scrapped (using 'scrap dead things mod') But the mud or ♥♥♥♥ or whatever it is, along with the smashed eggs are still there... SDT does not affect this mud though.

Have you tried the Spring Cleaning mod? http://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/4640/?

I haven't built at the Castle yet, so I don't know if it will work on the Mirelurk egg remains. But, It works to cleanup and remove many things you can't remove with the vanilla scrapping.

I suspect the games clean up script for this settlement only runs when you take it for the Minutemen. Last play through I did this, and it got cleaned. This time I've not even spoken to Preston since he arrived in Sanctuary and took Castle for myself...I still have piles of Mirelurk crap and broken eggs laying around.

Cleans up every time for me, but ive always done it with the minutemen. hooked up power and some defense and some plantings then left. After the old warhag meets me there upon revisit and i set up the mortars, all the mirelurk debries are gone. You must have a dirty save or didnt do the actual quest when you took it over?

This might be the problem, yes. If I would go to the mm now, it would probably work, but by now, I have moved to spectacle island because it has more building freedom, without mud everywhere.
For anyone who would have this problem, I will edit the mainpost.

I did the same and moved to Spectacle Island, only problem is my Provisioner from Castle keeps breaking the supply link - one assumes when he "drowns" in the water, travelling away then back restores the link.
