Question Conqueror: can't advance the story.

Hello All,
I have played multiple playthroughs of conqueror and keep running into the same problem. TLDR I do my outpost quest and the first vassle quest. At that point Jammer tells me I don't have enough people and my vassle doesn't create enough to fill the bars. At that point I donate a couple thousand caps and spam all the chems to Jammer. While I'm waiting I do Willie one-eye, and The chem quest. I come back and still not enough recruits to continue and bars still not full. Spam more chems and caps. Do some more questing and other non sim settlements stuff. But this is as far as I ever get. I never meet ophelia, I can never get to the slaver stuff, I can't take anymore vassles, and I just stall out. Anyone have any ideas? I have watched all of Kinggaths videos and playthroughs so I know what is supposed to happen but I can't make it happen. Thanks in advance and have fun playing.
 
vassle doesn't create enough to fill the bars.
No amount of recruitment donations will work if this is the case. You MUST have excess WRE to recuit anyone: each recuit will need +10 over break-even, of EACH resource. The lowest excess you have will set the limit. So if you have
Wages: +350
Rations: +10
Equipment: +2343432

you can only possibly get one recruit, because the lowest resource will only support one new person.

How did you start the game? Pre-built settlements, Vanilla, some mix?
If you used pre-built, what level did you start them at - 1, 2, 3, random?
Did you start with anything pre-conquered?

Which is your current Vassal? Is it a vanilla settlement with two people farming tatos, or is it a pre-built SimSet plan?

I strongly recommend (for everyone) going into options and turning "Workbench access in Vassals" to ON, under Conqueror options. Every settlement in the game needs tweaking in order to support the WRE system; almost none of them are even self-sufficient, let alone supportive of more soldiers.
 
That makes a lot of sense. I have random pre-build on level one. My outpost is Sunshine Tidings and my vassle is Abernathy Farm at level one. I didn't realize you could access the workshop in settings. That will help a lot to be able to "help" the growth along. Since I still haven't completed the vanilla conqueror story I haven't installed any faction packs yet so I don't believe anything should be pre-conquered. I'm going to work a bit on abernathty to see if I can get those bars up and see what comes of it. Thanks again for the advice.

I have a similar issue. I've got my first outpost, but I can't start the quest to get my first vassal settlement. Jammer tells me I don't have enough raiders. I have 24. I thought maybe them being assigned to plots made Jammer think I only had like 5. So I self destructed all the plots in the settlement. Still not enough. There's also this one raider who walks up to Jammer, but does nothing. He is labeled as "This individual is busy." He was assigned to a scavenging plot. So I tried re-assigning him to a carrot, then deleted it. Even with no job, he says nothing. Worse, he follows me wherever I fast travel. I think I screwed everything up by building plots early.
