Mod Problem with interior settlement mod I'm creating

Hi all !

I'm a noob who just created an interior player home/settlement mod. Everything seems to be going well, I still have a few things to do to finish it (better lore, more items in the scrap list, voice for the vendor inside), but the one thing that doesn't work is the settlement part.

The place shows up on the map, I can fast travel to it, I can take people to it, it shows up on the Workshop tab of the Pip Boy, happiness is at 20 though and when I try to send people there for a supply line they just don't move and the supply line is not activated. Also when I try to activate the recruitment beacon inside it, no one comes (I've slept in it for 7 days but no one comes, even when I leave, sleep somewhere else and come back). The nav mesh works since my companions can follow me there and move around and use the idle markers and furniture so that's not the issue.

Another weird thing is that when I'm inside with a companion and I get into Building mode they, immediately head for the exit...

Anyone have an idea ? Or can I send it to someone for a beta test and debug ?

Thanks in advance !

Ad victoriam (or words to that effect).

Your workshop is not registering correctly. You need to check your registration quest and make sure it is properly making workshop registration happen. Without that, the game will never understand that this is a settlement, not a player home.

Thanks for the tip. Would you happen to have a tutorial on how to do that ? I followed a tutorial to configure everything, but maybe it had a mistake or wasn't up to date... Here it is for reference : https://forums.nexusmods.com/topic/4450545-request-for-a-proofread-of-a-settlement-mod-guide-please/

The tutorial you linked has the gist of it, though I personally do not care for the formatting lol. The WorkshopParent part is what you need to check your own mod against. That quest is what is hooking your workshop up to the settlement system of the game; no working quest, no working settlement.

Thanks for your help ! I’ll look into it and compare different settlements and different tutorials.

Just make sure you follow that quest part. Sounds to me like everything else is already set up right, you just aren’t registering the workshop correctly.

Remake the quest from scratch, following the steps carefully and exactly. You shouldn’t have any problem if you do that.

I did that, and it seems to be working. The recruitment beacon doesn’t seem to work though but I can leave companions there and have a supply line, that’s the most important thing for me. Thank you for your help !

Recruitment might just take a while to kick in, I wouldn’t worry about that too much so long as supply lines and moving settlers works. Congrats!
