Workshop stored items not linked?

[Maybe John Helldiver]

I seem to remember getting a pop up saying that as long as i unlock a workshop location in a settlement, all items that i put into the workshop for storage will be linked at other workshops around the wasteland that i have unlocked. That is not the case for me though, items i put in one workshop are not in my other workshop locations. Is this a bug, or did i misunderstand how they work?

Having this same issue and I cannot find an anwser anywhere

same here, need answer

[Rahven32]

pretty sure you need a perk for that

The different workbenches are linked in a settlement, but not across settlements. At least, not by default. Probably a perk unlocks it, though I haven't seen one. Annoying having different materials in different storage, always having to fast travel to find things I need from one settlement for another.

Workshops between settlements are not linked, I tested this today and they definitely are not linked. However you can put your stuff in any workbench within a single settlement and they are linked together.

Ie. armor bench in Sanctuary is linked with weapon bench and the normal workbench and so on.

This is the most annoying thing I've come across so far. Hope it gets fixed. Modders will fix it for sure. At least there's that.

Theres a skill for that: Charisma 6, something with supply route (Versorgungsrute in german)
With that skill you can tell a settler to make a supply route with another settlement, then this two settlements have the same materials in the storage

you need to find a non-named settler in the settlement. Bring up the workshop interface and hit Q on the settler to initiate a supply line with a selected settlement.

You must assign a settler to make the supply line. Go into building mode, find a settler and use the command "create supply line". A list of cities will show up

Should I re-ask the question or can I ask you guys to revisit this question? Do you think it's possible a mod could disable this function? I was certain that as long as your settlements were linked by caravans then all your workshops would also be linked but it's not working for me right now. I just restarted playing the game again I was glad to find that I didn't lose my save games when my hard drive crashed. I'm level 47 Charisma is maxed out. I haven't checked all settlements yet but so far Grey Garden is not linked to any other settlements storage. So am I wrong or could a mod have somehow disabled the link or could there be another reason?

Supply lines don't actually link different settlements with a fully shared inventory. They only link them for the purposes of building/upgrading something, and for meeting settlers needs. You can't put an item in the workshop in one settlement, then go to another and take it out.

If you look in a linked settlements workshop, you will only ever see what is stored directly in that settlement. Once you go to build/upgrade something however, the additional resources should be available.
