Fallout London - Settlements, what am I missing?

[madeirabhoy]

Finding this a bit weird. Originally I only had one settlement, Biggin Hill airport. seems to work fine, though I havent got local leader 2 yet so can't make any weapon or armour benches which makes it less useful.

Found London Bridge, with 7 settlers in it. told one of them to supply run to Biggin hill expecting that to mean I could then build things as I have local leader 1, so supply chain should mean I can use the junk thats in biggin. nope.

Read that London Bridge is a bit of a mess, and that Covent Garden is the best settlement, so made a beeline for there, enjoyed getting it as there's a lot of hooligans to kill, anyway took it, sent some settlers from London Bridge there, weirdy I sent a few but only one went. went to biggin and sent a few there, so I now have 4 settlers in Covent Garden apparently. told one of them to do supply run. when I walked up to him again it showed he was employed supply run. great. tried to build some things. no supplies. told someone else to supply run, bit daft I know but if one out of 2 works then im happy.

now I can't find any of the 4 people in Covent Garden, guessing because ive told two of them to supply run and they are skiving. can't build anything unless I load up with supplies from biggin which sounds too much hassle.

Also, not sure if this is a FOLON thing or a pc thing or a GOG version thing. In my PS5 version on the map I have a button that shows all the supply runs but not on this?


any tips ?

Ask in the FOLON discord.

I wonder if there's something in the mod that means your first settlement is the only one that works well. reason im saying that is ive read plenty of people saying that Covent Garden works great and they recruit settlers and send them elsewhere as supply lines and it all works. well it didnt for me, but sending them from my first settlement biggin hill airport, worked. and once I did that all of a sudden in Covent Garden people started listening to what I tell them to do. only thing is in London Bridge I sent away 5 people leaving 2 and both of them have disappeared.

I sorted the London Bridge mess all by myself when the mod dropped, that after you assign a worker you have to press R in workshop mode and move them to London Bridge. Then all was fine. After that I skipped rest of the settlement stuff as I didnt want to hassle with it.

I have not tried what you have, but because of the issue i wrote above maybe you have to unassign the settlers before moving them? Lets say you move a settler with a Scavenger job, he vanishes, you move an unemployed settler, still vanishes? Have you tried both methods?

Also on a sidenote I discovered that if you assign a settler to a Scavenging station, then later on you build a shop and assign the same settler to the shop instead he or she will do both things but marked as shop. They will not stand behind the counter all day, sometimes they walk around the settlement like a scavenger as well. I dont know if its a bug or intended.

I've heard numerous reports that the settlement system is wonky in London. Personally, I only plan on build a player house because of these reported issues.

I found Biggin hill first and its a bit scuffed but reassigning them and it works fine. I've had no issue with London Bridge aside from people were randomly falling off but they don't do that anymore and I don't even need to reassign them there they work perfectly. Maybe because I found it second? I also deleted the walkway to the bottom because I thought it was scuffing them. I sent a Mercenary with a caravan to Biggin hill and that worked too.

@DarkLink That is a bug you can remove what they were previously assigned to like store it in the workshop then assign them to just the store if you want then replace the station for someone else.
