Settlers working multiple plots...

[Din'elen DarkStar]

Sop is it a common thing for a settler to take on more than one job? I have a couple settlers doing just this. I have a settler at Red Rocket working both electrical and commercial doctor. The hud shows her in one popup as the doctor but the other shows her as electrical with house and hobby. Electrical plant is producing fine and she gives me the doctor dialog too. If I track plot occupants it shows her as the occupant of both plots and her home and hobby. I'd love mayor to do this by default be mayor and pick a job plot.

At Covenant, I am currently having the same problem - 3 settlers and 4 plots with one settler working two plots. Tried unassigning/assigning/reassigning - did not permanently fix the problem. This also occurred in an earlier game at Starlight with 14 settlers, I thought it was a "ghost" settler. Until KG et al, fix this particular bug, I consider it "free labor". Fortunately for me, this is a rare occurrence.

So here is a screen shot I took today. So Settler in Sanctuary is one a of many I have working more than one plot. I also have one that I am aware of at RR and at Taffington (The Mayor is running desk and Electrical). Also I circled the weird negative repotting going on with my Organic materials this game.

That specific number comes up a lot in these issues, I've seen it a few times myself. It's like it's buffer-overflowing somewhere in the calculations or something.

This is a known issue and is on the "to do" list.

The only way I have found to fix it is send the settler to a different settlement and wait for them to be completely unassigned before bringing them back.

Ok so I now have conformation of the system showing a person at the Light house working 3 , yes 3 jobs. Ag, Bookstore and Bar. I mean I know it takes a lot to make ends meet these days but no need for anyone in my country to work THAT hard to survive. Lay off the Jet.

I was informed that it is possible for the settler to be assigned to a vanilla workable object "scrap thingy (my brain is mush)" and it could reset too

I have heard that as well. In my personal experience, when this happens for res plots, assigning a settler to a vanilla bed just adds it to their list of 'owned' beds...

They have to pay for it somehow! Maybe you should keep Hancock and Stash out of your settlements!
