Scrap bug

[Blajammer]

Hello everyone,

I hate to ask for a third time for help but........yah. Recently I have encountered a “bug” where trying to scrap or “store” and settlement object in sanctuary causes an immediate ctd without any error warning or anything. From reading online it seems that getting to close to the build limit limit, cause an overload when trying to scrap or store place able items. The problem is that without the ability to scrap I can’t lessen the amount of “objects” in the game. Sanctuary is currently being led by a leader at level 2 if it helps. In addition I did encounter the bug after installing the mod “new infinite settlement budget plugin” by mod author angellicktrooper specifically because of sanctuary getting close to the build limit, however I don’t know if that mod caused the problem since I didn’t scrap much before the mod, but I can’t rule it out plus i did disable and then delete it. Don’t mean bug but given that I’d like to build sanctuary up even more and id rather completely screw thing up, I’m asking a bird time for help.........sorry

Actually, this one may be a legitimate bug. The root cause is apparently corruption in the settlement power grid caused by certain misbehaving vanilla objects that will eventually spread to every object in the settlement.

I was able to recover a save with this issue by manually disabling and marking for delete every player built object in the settlement. However, with the number of objects in sanctuary, this would be a very long and boring process.

I know Kinggath has presented Bethesda with detailed information on the bug, how to replicate it and so on, so we're going to have to see what happens and if it can be corrected.

Thank you so much tankthing for answering one of my questions. I was so afraid that I had somehow through my own carelessness downloaded a mod or something and completely corrupted my save. Thankfully his has only occurred in sanctuary given that it’s my most built up settlement and although I can’t scrap or “store” any settlement objects, I can move things around. I guess I’ll just have to leave building in sanctuary alone until things are fixed.
