Pop not growing.

[roehcai]

My settlement in Sanctuary Hills isn't growing past 14, and every other settlement I have is raising to 20. I have more than 30 of each resource and much higher defense, recruitment beacon, and Happiness of almost 90.
Every help thread I've seen seems the person has a low charisma. I have 10 Charisma so that's not the issue. Also it's only sanctuary hills.
I have all my compainions there, as well as the Vault Tech salesman. No TVs or Jukeboxes (due to other bug). So what is the issue? Is it just bugged?

I have had a few that bugged like that before. Was no real solution I found reliable yet, but I have found some things out.

Food, defense, water, and bed amounts will not stop a settlement from growing. Happiness seems to stop a settlement from growing from the initial settlers until it is 70% or higher.

There is one thing I have noticed is that it takes a certain amount of game time for a settlement to reach max population. Like you are only get to gain a few per week of game time. However since your settlement with the problem is Sanctuary that rules that possibility out.

I have noticed settlements seem to grow faster when you are not in that "zone." Like for instance my Red Rocket refused to go to a max of 23 from 15, however once I spent a lot of time at Sunshine Tidings (liek a week or two game time) Red Rocket then hit max population.

try charisma gear (Clean suit, black rim glasses, minutemen hat) or the "sharp" ledgendary armor, then take charisma boosting drugs( Grape mentats, day tripper, x-cell and many others), then loaf around in the town and you should get more people in a bit.

Well there was a growth issue I had last game with my Abernathy Farm similar to his. My Abernathy Farm froze at 11 population, mean I had other settlements grow to 26 from like 15 or so.

Only thing I can think of is the constant trips I was making to Abernathy Farm for the wood shipments froze the nearby land so it would not reset. I want to believe the settlers actually come from the game repops the surrounding area with mobs. Since sometimes you cna actually find the settlers traveling to your settlement. When you avoid being in that area, the mobs and stuff repop faster, hence the faster generation of settlers for a settlement in that area. Still testing the theory, and so far it has held up.

Why are you wasting so much valuable time on ♥♥♥♥ that doesn't matter in the game? You get nothing for having settlements.

There is a huge difference between me spending less than a minute to post something that is easy to understand than you spending hundreds of hours on something that most agree have no impact in the game itself in any shape or form.

Simply put you just went full ♥♥♥♥♥♥ on me, full fanboy mode.

I rather my hundreds of hours be spent doing something meaningful in a game than just doing the same thing like I was retarded or autistic or something. It's a circle jerk that you are so addicted to you probably barely aware of your surroundings, your ass was probably numb for hours.

Ha. You have 'meaningfully' spent 100's of hours on a game, which is the result of people unknown to you, meeting in front of a white board to haggle about that game, until they want to go home.

Say again?

Honeslty I thought that was a pretty funny response.

You just wasted an hour on the forums making fun of people wasting time with settlements.

Not in just this thread either.

We enjoy doing something constructive, you enjoy being <insert random insulting adjective>

What worked for me was that I transferred settlers from one colony to the colony with the problem. That sort of "reset" some things I think and I was able to grow again. The old colony quickly regained the colonists that I had reassigned so that's one good method I suggest.

Ya after my last game I learned to avoid transfering settlers. I sent two settlers from Ten Pines to Starlight Drive In. It was not either of the two starting settlers. I was building up Ten Pines and I see a quest marker moving towards me. My settler had walked all the way from Starlight Drive In to where I was in Ten Pines to ask for help. Then when I went to Ten Pines to turn it bakc in, the settler had gone all the way back to Starlight Drive In. It was NOT the provisoner either, had alreayd learned form that mistake of making any of the first three or four a provisioner.

Well it's not a charima stat issue, so not sure the clothes / chems will do anything. I'll try the 'spend time away from the settlement' thing. I also turned off the recruitment beacons from nearby settlements, so if people spawned nearby they wouldn't be draw into other settlements.

Also, I'm not sure how to transfer people from one settlement to another.. I'm guessing it's by making them provisioners and then reassigning them to something else once they arrive. But that seems like it could have some buggy consequences (like it even counting them towards pop in the new place?).
