Sanctuary not getting settlers
I have a recruitment beacon set-up, None of my resource things are below the requirement, My charisma is 6 so that makes it 16 settlers that i can get, But so far the I've only gotten 10 guys (2 actual settlers attracted by the beacon), I've been playing for a while now..

Im not sure if this is requiered. But do you have enough beds, food and water to support larger populations?

Another tip is to simply build beacons at other settlements and simply move them to Sanctuary.

The main thing to remember is it is a % chance to gain a settler per interval.

I raised my CHA to 13 and am still hovering at 17 settlers including the companions who camp there...(which I suspect are treated as "bodies.")

I have all of my resources above the amount of people i have, And i believe building beacons will only attract settlers to the settlement its at. So before settlers can get to you, They will be attracted by the beacon, Decreasing the chances of getting even more settlers to sanctuary.

Having beacons active on other settlments will not decrease chances to get them to sanctuary.. in fact it will increase chances of getting settlers. Only they will get attracted to other settlements. but you can simply move them to Sanctuary.

How

In workshop mode. Go to a settler, highlight em. And you'll se an option to move them to a different settlement.

There is a bug, dont know if you have it. The bug is this, check your settlement for settler count. I had the Castle settlement with 25 settler, didnt show on the data tab. Dont know how it happened but none of my other settlement were getting any settlers. Had to manually move settler from castle to others. I could only have a max of 18 settlers in one spot. Once I did that , my other settlement started getting settler again with the Beacon.

I understand this is a necro'd thread, but in case someone gets here like I did searching the topic, apparently if you have at least 4 unemployed settlers in a settlement, no new settlers will join it. This may be the case for some people, so build some scavenging stations to reduce unemployment.
