no mater how many chems I give jammer he keeps saying we are not ready to raid another settlement. I gave him over 10,000 chems through console commands. I don know what else to do. this is a after the first raid on Abernathy farm and there's 20 of our raiders at the farm. I've slept in the settlement for like 3 days and keep giving him chems. nothing happens

Have you built a War Planner's Desk, yet? You could try to schedule a raid via the desk and see if that works. Sometimes, it works when Jammz is jammed. @uituit is faster and more concise than me.

Also, check the settlement report on the war planner's desk. It will tell you the breakdown of all your recruits' various roles. You need at least 5 Warriors to launch an attack. If you have auto role change set to "on" in the conqueror part of the City Planner Holotape, it's possible, depending on the situation at abernathy when you took it over, that auto role change switched some "warriors" to "guards" (guard posts/martial plots) and/or "workers"(Commercial/Industrial/ Ag Plots). If it switched too many, you won't be able to launch an assault until you change enough back over to "warriors."

If you have Soldier's Needs "on", then regardless of how many chems or caps you donate, you won't be able to recruit any new troops until all your Wages/Rations/Equipment needs are met.

I turned off soldiers needs and the war planners desk doesn't let me do anything. how do I change workers to warrior?
 
@raiderboy678 Can you post a screen shot of your conqueror HUD bars?

If you can't, how many warriors/guards/civilians/workers/captives does it say you have?

And were you able to see the settlement report via the War Planner's Desk? You get to it by clicking on the desk map.
 
that menu doesn't show up. the only thing I can do with them is trade.

Should look something like this:

role1.png

Role2.png
 
I managed to get one warrior, but it was random. are they supposed to be jobless or something? because the one I found wasn't assigned to anything before hand. and I didn't see that warrior icon above. it just got me into the warrior.

This all of course depends on if you have auto role change turned on in the Conqueror subsection of the holotape. If you do:

Warriors: default role for recruits (unemployed) and then for those assigned to Recreational Plots.
Guards: recruits assigned to vanilla Guard posts or assigned to Martial Plots.
Worker: recruits assigned to Commercial/Industrial/Agricultural plots or to vanilla scavenger bench​

Are any of your workers unassigned/unemployed?

You might try this: build a vanilla guard post. Re-assign a "worker" to this and see if she auto-role changes to "guard." Once she does, it's possible that the X option above might kick in and then you'll be able to change her to whatever.

(I once used SKK's Combat Settlers's spawn tool to spawn in a raider recruit. This recruit showed up as a "civilian" and I was unable to reassign her role via the X option. I had to turn on auto-change role and then assign her to something. Once assigned she took that role and I was able to then get the X option above and use it to manually switch her to a warrior.)
 
UPDATE!! the method partially worked, but it was weird. I assigned them to vanilla guard posts, but I crouched down as if I was gonna pick pocket them. the guard option showed up, and I was able to manually change it to warrior. is this normal?

this is what the list looks like

This is perfect! This explains why you can't launch a raid. Not enough warriors!

But why did the game auto change your dudes into workers? and why can't you manually switch them back to warriors (why don't you get the X option when you interact with them)?

Do you have 16 total Commercial/Industrial/or Ag Plots at your HQ? Do you have any vanilla crops planted?

didn't work. here is the photo, the thing doesn't show up

Didn't work as in didn't switch the worker role to guard or as in the X option didn't show up?

Ha. I don't know. But if it works, it just works.

Use your "sneak method" to change as many as you like need to back to warriors. Once you get at least five you should be able to launch your next assault.

I'd recommend turning off auto role change after you get all your dudes sorted out.
 
@raiderboy678 One thing that you might also check is if you have any other mod in your load order that uses or alters your "R) button." Combat Settlers adds something like a command button to my X option, I've turned that particular feature off because it conflicts with the Conqueror role menu. Mods that add any functionality to this button will probably conflict and you'll have to decide which one is most important to you if they don't have the option to disable the particular feature that uses the R).
