HQ Issues/Queries

I've build and upgraded everything I can in HQ; there are no more options beyond the settlement based ones but the quest ROTC/HQ still says "create living spaces and recruit people", or close to that.
But there are no more rooms I can clean and use to do this; also, the main foyer is still a mess with no option to do anything with it.
Anyone got any ideas?

How many settlers do you have at HQ?
 
Currently 42 I think, from memory
The How to HQ quest is supposed to complete when you have recruited 15 settlers for HQ, and completion starts up the quest Is There a Doctor in the House.
The later quest will start you building in the large area on the main floor in the Atrium, and opens up the Office Level for additional building space.
I'm guessing that that quest hasn't started up for you?

If you are playing on PC, you could do a console command: getstage SS2C2_Sirick_MQ24
and let me know what stage number is returned. Curious to see where the quest thinks you are.
Also, could you please provide your load order plugins.txt (Please use spoiler tags for that text).
Both for troubleshooting purposes.

Unfortunately, the recruitment part of this quest is in the code, scripted somewhere, so there isn't a console command that I know of to complete that part.
 
Thanks for the help

The getstage command returned "370"
Sorry, it's Commonwealth Rising that is saying "Continue recruiting staff and working with HQ".

Thanks for the help

Not sure that I'm going to be of any help tbh, but you're welcome.

So the console command to find the stage for Commonwealth Rising would be getstage SS2C2_Sirick_MQ27
Regarding your load order, I see you are running the StoryWealth Collection. There's so much in that, that I can't post with your load order included.
Near impossible for us to sort out that load order, but perhaps will be able to see where you're at with the SS2 quest and go from there.
 
The setstage returned 160
Yes, the load order is a bit long; if it's any help the last quest I received and completed from Jake was the memory bed thing. Since that nothing.
 
That step has you start a Research (Science) Project for Cassandra to analyse the Comm Array parts.
Did you complete that?
Here's the Quest Guide for Commonwealth Rising
 
I've completed the Antenna Upgrade Project but I've not got the next stage "Comm Array Component Analysis project" from the science department. To be honest I'm not sure I've got a "science department".

Added - I see you need to recruit a doctor to start the science department and you get him from The Nightingales, but I've not done any of their quests yet; so I'm taking a stab at that is why my HQ/ ROTC has stalled?

Yup :)
 
Hmm, thanks for all your help; don't remember getting any in game "prod" to do Nightingales quests but could have easily missed.

<feeling embarrassed>

You should have at some point gotten a call over the "HQ Radio" thing from Mansfield telling you about some mystery sickness going around the HQ staff, starting quest "Is there a Doctor in the House". Might want to check in with him if that didn't auto-activate.
 
I've just used the HQ radio to contact Mansfield and got the "Is there a doctor in the house" quest; didn't pop up automatically for some reason but all good now.
Thanks again for the help and pointers to where I was being dumb. :blush

Just come to the end of HQ/Rise of the Commonwealth; got HQ built up and running. Just want to thank you again for the help and pointer to where I was going wrong.
