Atrium fountain bug

[CHISEL]

atrium fountain is bugged out. You can hear the water but no water is displayed and 2 little pipes are floating mid air.

Exactly the same here for the 2nd consecutive playthrough ...... which means it has likely been like it now for almost a year .

You most likely have a mod conflict or load order issue. It works perfectly fine. Globe is spinning and water coming from top of it...

No mod conflict , no load order issue ..... I haven't added any new mods or removed any in over 5 Playthroughs , it is only the last two playthroughs that fountain has not been working correctly. Both are within the last 12 months .

Have you tried refreshing via the room controller? It's situated on the spiral staircase. The screen should be labelled "centrepiece" when you click on it.

That was the first thing I tried in both Playthroughs...... Everything else in HQ is good and no other issues , just that one thing ...... I just don't build it now , which is a shame because it's the focal point when you first walk in there .

Unfortunately, I can't replicate this, and I've rebuilt HQ several times over the last three weeks. I'm assuming you're playing on the latest version of all your mods. Very odd that nothing in the LO has changed, and that it's only been the most recent playthroughs. Are you getting the same issue as OP - floating pipes and audio as well? Does it simply fail to build, do you see the scaffolding etc? Is your playthrough heavily modded, or fairly light (by which I mean - light enough that someone can take a look at a save from before you attempting to build it).

No nothing has changed mod wise or load order wise in 5 or 6 Playthroughs, other than the SS2 updates and add ons for SS2 . I haven't changed it mod wise because other than a few little glitches in SS2 it is all very stable , including having all three triangle of death settlements built up to lvl 3 ..... No crashes , no glitches , no problem all round ..... Hence why nothing has changed .
Exactly the same yes , no globe , two floating bars , no flowers / plants or water etc .... But you have the sounds of the water .
Unfortunately it is heavily modded yes , just over 100 mods , although vast majority are just cosmetics , graphics , scenery , nothing to interfere with anything at all in SS2 .
It's just strange , never had a problem before except for the playthrough before this and now the same thing ..... No apparent reason for it

UPDATE 3:- I discovered that I have invisible textures as I jumped on top of the globe and walked around and then fell off the edge. I really think it is a mod conflict now. Good luck people. Next playthrough I'll run only SS2 recommended mods and see what happens. One day I'll work out how to bug check.

UPDATE 2:- Was watching a playthrough No.35 by KG 13th October 2023 and saw that the fountain was fully functional but was in the position where the seat was clipping the staircase and the silver contain was on it's edge at the front. So it was either designed that way or it was a bug that went unnoticed.

UPDATE:- I noticed eventually what others had noticed and the "room" is jammed up right next to the spiral staircase when before it was in the middle of the atrium area. Looks like it's a lost cause for me now and fortunately I have now completed chapter 2 so let's see what happens with Ch 3.

Hello everyone, now I do not know when or how this issue happened to me but I went looking through the Facilities office desk AND found a TASK in my task list for the Atrium fountain assigned by me( I had been fiddling with refreshing the atrium fountain room controller previously). NOW, I found it wasn't completing because I did not have enough materials or energy. I in the process of sorting that to see if it completes the build so for anyone who hasn't looked or tried this, give it a go, you never know.
