Solved Bounty Repetition: Jamaica Plains

I know I've been posting a lot but with SS there's so much I don't know yet, or at least there isn't a body of knowledge to the extent of the base game that I could turn to.

Heads up, there may be minor spoilers... If you're one of those people. :P

So, I got a bounty for the Jamaica Plains Treasure and completed it, easy. The next bounty was a specific conqueror bounty, but after that I got Jamaica Plains, again. I'm certain this wasn't supposed to happen. This became obvious when I started noticing Hadrian (a random encounter corpse that has an invite to go on the raid to Jamaica Plains), who continually appears on my travels. Obviously the quest (which I assumed to be an invisible one but turns out is supposed to be a misc) didn't complete. Took a look at the quest stages for the quest and it showed that it was never activated. In fact, I couldn't even activate it. When I tried sqs, it just showed the quest as "-stopped". I guess this is why I could not complete it using SetStage or CompleteQuest.

My question is this: Is there a function in SS to stop that quest? I couldn't imagine why that would be, unless it was so it could be replaced by something from SS, as in the bounty quest. Even then, that doesn't make a lot of sense, but what do I know? Uhhh... not much, that's why I'm here. Lol. I don't have anything

I mean, it isn't the end of the world but I like the conqueror quests, and I would prefer to be told there are no bounties rather than wondering if this is going to be stopping me from getting more. Now I have got the flyer twice in a row with nothing else in between making me suspicious.

If anyone knows how/why this happened or more importantly, how to fix this, I would be eternally grateful.
 
I should add: The only edit I have to the Jamaica Plains quest is from UFO4P, which simply removes an unresolved radio ref. Looks like a simple bug-fix and I don't have any reason not to trust their judgement.

Also, I see where SS interacts with the quest from the note. It all seems by the book, set the initial stage at 20. So to be fair, I don't actually know if Conqueror is the culprit but this is the only mod I have that has that ability, so to speak. Lol. Could just be vanilla being a I love you.

Jamaica plains treasure is a joke in the game. It's not actually a quest, there is no treasure obviously, it's the same for the bounty board.
If that is all that's appearing it means there are no more bounties currently, as soon as you progress the main quest/take over enough settlements more bounties will appear.
 
Lol okay. I get it but, man, this is FO4 and there are bugs everywhere. Lol. Had me going top to bottom like, FFS! Well, thanks for letting me know, Phil, now I can rest easy.

Disclaimer: This is not an entitled moan, just a thought. :D
@kinggath ought to know though, that Haiden's body shows up constantly because the quest is never complete, which is... a little problematic. I'm not one that gets hung up "immersion" and all that business, but I found his lifeless corpse at least a dozen times. Considering there are so many undiscovered random encounters, it has me wondering what else would have been there.

Maybe a note, opposed to a note linked to a quest which has been stopped, would be ideal. I'm guessing this is a place-holder for some expected interaction in the future? I dunno, I may be overthinking this now but it seems like one of those things, y'know, the ones where you think why don't people react as though this thing happened already?

Anyway, thanks again Phil!
 
Sounds like maybe there's an issue with one of the vanilla repeatable Random Events. I'm putting in a check to ensure that bounty won't come up again, but can't speak to that random event.
 
Sorry, Hadrian. It's a weird name. He's a dude that lies dead on the side of road with a Jamaica plains flyer and a holotape saying "so and so is putting together a crew to hit Jamaica plains, we need a sniper, you in?", sort of thing. It's supposed to be a trigger encounter for the Jamaica plains misc quest. Really weird how you keep finding his dead body all over the map. Lol. The fact that you haven't seen him is just testament to how many random encounters there are.

Okay, cool thanks. Not the hugest of deals but did cause some confusion. Question though, does SS stop the actual Jamaica plains quest? That was the thing that wierded me out the most. Because it has a quest start and end, if it was able to finish properly that guy's corpse wouldn't keep showing up. Meh, you probably know it better than I do, I'll leave you to it. Lol.
 
No, I don't think SS stops any quest at all. Not even the minutemen quests if you opt to Execute Preston...
How bizarre. I mean, I saw that it didn't do it in the plugins and just assumed you had something else going on. In my case the whole quest stopped and I couldn't even force its completion. I would probably consider just disregarding my whole scenario, it seems like an isolated incident. Chalk it up to fallout being fallout.

Thanks for letting me know.
