Provisioners and catching them.
I'm planning to give each Provisioner a Postman Outfit and a Minigun.
Postmen do fit the scenario pretty well additionally going postal is kinda cool, but the real intention is to hear when they are attacked and to see / recognize them due to their special outfit.

The problem is I can't find my provisioners that easy because they are between the settlements, is their a trick, mod, console command to call them back to their settlement?

Does the siren or the bell work on them?

You need to damage them first, THEN use the capture sphere.

There might be a console command, not sure how you would get their ID.

I have just been waiting for them.

By accident, I found my provisioners while waiting at my 'main hub'. Not all at once, but they do all eventually show up.

Since I don't have a main hub, but rather a chain things will get a bit messy I suppose.

You could open the console, click on them, and write down their PRID when you make them provisioners.

Keep a list.

Then, later, when you want to change them you use the console to bring them back to you.

Open console

Type 'PRID XXXX' - where XXXX is the settler code you wrote down earlier - Enter.
Type 'MoveTo Player' Enter.

Which should move them to wherever you are.

Bit of a necro but after figuring out how to find a lost provisioner I am going around telling every post I can find asking about it recently.

You will have to work for it, testing as many as 20 odd beds with console comands, but this *will* work if the provisioner exists in the game at all.

1. Go to town the provisioner resides in (where they are taking bed space and were before you made them a provisioner)
2. Go to a bed you think they might own
3. Open console and click the bed, type "isactorrefowner" without quotes
4. it should say "settler(hex code)" if it is owned, if it doesnt have an owner or has an owner you know is wrong go to step 2
5. type "prid 'hex code' " with the above hex code (remove all quotation "" and '')
6. type "moveto player"
7. exit console and see if it is the lost person, if not, go to step 2

This process will take a bit of time, but helped me find all my lost and gone forever provisioners and get my game under control. Good luck.

They do sleep, right?

Probably in their hometown, so that would make some sort of sense.

Wait in a chair or sleep in a bed for an hour in your main hub, they will show up a few if not all at a time.

I might be wrong, but they alwas spawn in location they're assigned to when you fast-travel to it.

But how do I always see 2-3 provisioners in every settlement I fast-travel to?

I always catch my provisoners in the middle of nowhere (after fast travelling) and I can't even order them around (because I can't get into settlement mode in the middle of nowhere)

But maybe my game is broken and yours works fine.
My provisioners definitely don't turn up as soon as I fast travel.

Ocassionally (like 5% of the time) they do.
