So I am trying to use the new assignments system and am getting mixed results, the issue that I am running into is that the command are not "Sticking". I tried to assign a raider to patrol from Sunshine tidings to Abernathy, he get half way down the hill, put his gun away, and walks back to the Co-op, I look and he has been assigned as a worker again. I wanted to move a few settlers to guard duty in sanctuary, is shows they change then says they are assigned as warriors in the first camp again. I tried to move them with the assign outpost command and it ways they are re-assigned, then a few moments later they are assigned to the previous camp again.

I have a custom settlment installed, could that be the issue? I have conquerer last in my load order so it should be overriding any other mods.

I'm running into a different problem. All the settlers are just standing around doing nothing, except they will sleep if there's a bed. I get none of the animations for them building a plot or working it. I seem to get the value of the plot counting towards either food or defense.

I also cannot assign any of the new roles. I started a new play through and going with the Minutemen Faction pack in case that impacts anything.

I'm not certain on this, but I think some of the faction packs will need to be updated to use the new mechanics properly.
As for the settlers standing around, it's hard to be sure. Sometimes the AI can just be totally stupid for a few days and eventually sort it's self out.

I am having a similar problem except it says I have 15 guards at sunshine, even thought I sent 5 to Abernathy farm, but I can only see 5 guards at sunshine.. My patrol between sunshine and Abernathy seem to be working as i passed them on the road when I was walking between the 2 to see if I could see my guards walking there.. But didn't see them.

Think I may have spoke too son, it worked for some in game days but now they went back to Nordhagen, also the count at nordhagen shows like 60 settlers but when I arrive there's only 28 :/ when I'm in there the number displays correctly on the pipboy tho, this, definitely was not a thing before the update D:

Mine are not even leaving the settlements to move. They just stand there going about they're business like nothing happened. Except for the guard I mentioned in the first post. I am glad to hear it is being worked on though, i really need to move some guards around before my 2 in game weeks are up and I'm already past week one.

Ok I’ll give it some time; play through a little bit longer and see if it starts working.

A few more things to note; this was happening before I built the war desk and claimed Santuary as an outpost and normal jobs seem to be working, Preston is patrolling the settlement as a guard.

The settlers will sometimes walk over to the plot but just stand there and then go to sleep in a bed at night. I built a bell and called everyone over and that worked just fine, but then they just went back to standing around

Faction Packs don't need an update - all of the new features should work out of the box for them.

Still working on assignment quirks - turning off Auto-Assignment in SS as well as WSFW will solve the issue in the meantime until I can get a hotfix put together.

Basically SS and the vanilla game code see patrols as being unassigned and so assign them to whatever random unassigned items you have at your settlements.

I uninstalled and reinstalled the game and sim settlements, Conqueror, etc. it seems to be working now. I have not reinstalled some of the mods including some of the faction packs and plot packs. It might have been one of them causing the problem.

@kinggath When guards are sent to or stay in a vassal after take over, are they supposed to count towards/ be included in the vassal's workshop population?

Yep. I tried to do it without that, but it would required completely rewriting the plot code in SS to support faux-ownership, which is just not in the cards right now.

Just hotfixed all of the assignment wonkiness! I'm sure you guys will find more corner-cases, as this was such a massive overhaul, but I think I took care of the worst offending issues so that you don't have to wait 2 weeks for me to clear this up with the normal patch cycle.
