Where the hell is Sturges!?

[Burnsy]

Sturges is normally milling around Sanctuary in my game, I had him assigned to the Scavenging table. Now though he is nowhere to be found. He is not on the roof of any of the buildings and my scavenging table no longer has anyone assigned to it. I have not been to the institute (I know he is involved in some quest to get there if you go the minuteman way).

I tried teleporting him to me with a console command but instead of teleporting the original Sturges, it spawns a new one and I dont want to have two sturges running around in my save if Sturges is just missing.

Does anyone know a teleport console command that does not spawn a new character but actually teleports the existing npc? I kno he is alive somewhere as he is marked as essential so can not have died.

I say again though, he is not on a roof.

Moveto player should teleport. But only if you use correct id. If you use a base id rather than current one, it will spawn a new one.

As for Sturges, yeah, he loves to wonder around the settlement. Just ignore it, he still counts as a valid worker if you assign him somewhere.

He is not anywhere to be found and is no longer assigned to my scavenging table, so he is not a valid worker. I will try moveto player though and report back, thanks.

Build the bell. Ring it. Everyone in the settlement will come to the bell. That's one way to find everyone.

Yeah I tried that but he doesn't appear :(

moveto player doesn't seem to work either

I found him, he somehow moved himself to a completely different settlement! I am pretty sure its a bug as I would never have sent him there knowingly and I doubt I could have done it by accident. For anyone else with this issue, I went to an extremely early save, opened the console with him in front of me and clicked him to show his true id. Then I went to my most recent save, opened the console and typed player.moveto (id). This teleported me to where he was.

As stated above, using the base id to teleport did not work but clicking on him in console gave me his proper ID and the teleport command worked.

Thanks for your help!

Can I ask what you needed him for?

Those NPCs that hang out inthe work shop area making the same comments over and over seem like being sent to another settlement may be what I opt to do next.

If you choose the minuteman path he is required to do part of the questline. I was just worried he had disapeared completely.

What is his ID?

Not always, some tend to get "stuck" because it seems the developers forgot to allow that teleport ability settlers have to occur when ringing the bell.

Use console then type: (forgot which one is the good one, the base id or ref id)

base id
player.moveto 19fda

ref id
player.moveto 1a4d8

One of those two console commands should move you to his location so you can see where he got stuck. I have found it is usually somewhere close to a bed the farthest away in a settlement.

Well, I found Sturges on the roof of our Main-House in Sancutary and had to build a ladder to go up to him. I suppose that he is looking for enemies who could attack Sanctuary.
