While you are away from your settlement the game tries to keep track of where the npcs should be just like npcs and such in diamond city for example.
Why are the settlers sitting on the roof fallout 4.
The reason settlers end up on roofs and stuck in walls and such is because of the game engine.
Settlers are the common people of the commonwealth.
I belive this causes them to become roofers sometimes happened to me too in sanctuary as i closed up the entrance area of the main buiilding with walls and a single door.
However living in such a harsh reality makes recreation hard to come by.
Settlers are wastelanders living in various settlements across the commonwealth in 2287.
Party like it s 2287 a d.
Without mods duration.
In fallout 4 recreation and fun are not lost on your settlers.
When you re not in a settlement the engine moves settlers around without pathfinding.
They can include wanderers former residents of diamond city or goodneighbor scavengers former raiders or gunners and even gen 3 synths who are covertly working for the institute or have been rescued by the railroad trying to integrate into normal.
That is where you the player come in handy.
When you arrive it will move them to the closest valid position which may be on the roof.
I recognized that settlers are teleported if they try to move to somewhere but are blocked by something else even other setlers.
Your job is simple make the masses happy while turning the commonwealth back into a thriving civilization.
