cant find piper after dismising her for nick

[Empanda]

I cant find her. I dismissed her when i found nick at the vault and now shes gone. i told her to go to sanctuarry hill but shes not there. She appeared in her house for the main story quest but now shes not there or anywhere. I checked all over diamond city and sanctuarry hills and went to my other settlements but shes just gone.

hmm, you should have dismissed her at the settlement. I think they literally walk there so i suggest waiting at the settlement you told her to go to and look around where she usually is or wherever, just sleep or wait

Do you think we need makers for the fallowers? I had the same problem. I had to pick one then look for her. Now I can't find Nick.

um followers tend to get lost even when they are with you all the time and some comands make them stay in one place. i told codsworth to kill some raider and then found out he stayed with the body had to go back and find him lol. but your follower should go to a town tho the each tend to move arount the town in odd ways pipers hard to find in the starter town but codsworth and strong are not as they tend to stay in one or two areas. some followers need to be someplace for a mission like piper who will be at nicks place as part of the story you are probly at that point so she is not in town.

Companions get stuck in limbo if they don't have a place to rest.

i just put new beds 20 minutes before i started searching for her, maybe i should let some time go by?

I had te exact same thing, went back to sanctuary, got new buddy who starts running away(?) Wasted 1 fusion core chasing him to see him run into an unpowered elevator and just stays down there?

Fast travel to sanctuary, get a new buddy AGAIN, same ♥♥♥♥.

IT JUST WORKS

ok i ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ find her. Looks like i accidentally sent her to that movie theatre settlement because i guess i misclicked it because it started with an S so i thougth it was sanctuary hills. Glad i wasted over an hour looking for her because im retarded...

This happened to me with dogmeat, Also even if you send X companion to X location if you are on a quest where they want to meet you they will be there not the settlement. This happened to me with the detective I sent him to sanctuary and couldnt find him for a day then when I said screw it and went to pipers office to finish a quest he was sitting in there waiting for me.

I traded Piper for Nick in order to chase down Kellog, and told her to go to Sanctuary Hills because there was no option to just tell her to return to Diamond City (tangential note: does anybody else find it annoying that the location in the PipBoy map is labeled just 'Sanctuary', no 'Hills'? I'm always thinking that 'Sanctuary Hills' is a different location from 'Sanctuary') then (SPOILER) at the end of the mission Nick says we need to get Piper, so I go to Sanctuary Hills and she's not there. Anyhow ... I went back to Diamond City on a hunch, and Piper is in her room at Publik Occurrences. &%#$#@&% why is she there when I told her to go to Sanc.Hills? And why wasn't Diamond City in the list of 'go to' locations in the first place? Not a bug per se, but definitely a glaring flaw in the gameplay mechanics.

I definitely think we need some changes in the next patch to come out ... map markers for companions is one, include Diamond City / Home Plate in the 'go to' location list is another, and MAKE THE COMPANIONS ACTUALLY GO WHERE YOU TELL THEM TO GO is an absolute must.
