Cant start hunt for knife point

[Garishrumble406]

I got done with the quest where you kill Boris but know the next quest won't start. Looked at the wiki and it said that if you kill Boris before it says, the quest won't progress. Well I finished the Boris quest and I can't go back to do it in the correct order and now I'm stuck. Seems pretty bad idea to tell people about a known problem after it's happened and it's too late instead of just patching the problem. Setstage commands don't work for some reason. the sim settlements holotape only works on main quests which seems like a bad choice from a dev standpoint. I'm kind of mad because this cuts me off from the whole CPD quest line. Please tell me if there is a way past this.
Edit: this is the id i was using for setstage (from the wiki)

For what it's worth, there IS another way to access the CPD questline proper. Once you've built up enough settlements to have a total of 30 Residential Plots, the kid Sshandy should track you down and recruit you anyway, whether you've done all of Caleb's quests or not.
That Boris quest is annoying in how precise you have to be to get it to work, though, I definitely agree there. I'll see if the most recent 'public beta' patch has fixed it, there's notes in there about that quest in particular...

Wow. Thanks for responding so quick. I just have one question. Are residential plots from city plans included in the 30 required for Shhandy to contact me?

Yes, it doesn't care HOW they were built, just a count of how many total exist and are "active" (have someone living in them)

Now from a VERY brief test, it LOOKS like the next patch (which should be out this coming Friday) has resolved the issues with those couple of Hunt For X quests from Caleb breaking if you do things out of the order it expects. I haven't tested every possible permutation of options, but I can't seem to outright break them instantly like you could do before at least. Not sure what it'll do retroactively on saves already past that point, though.
