Old Post Can you take ownership of settlements you conquer?

Hey Raider Recruits!

I started a fresh play through to do Conqueror. I did the initial quests, and decided to take Red Rocket as my main base, then expand by taking Abernathy Farm.

Well I got Red Rocket fine, and I can use the workbench, then I took Abernathy Farm and Conqueror informed me that a supply line would be set up between the two, and I did see it on my pipboy and I do see food now flowing to Red Rocket. The problem is I can't access the Abernathy Farm workbench, so how can I place new plots and get my vassals farming?

Conqueror also told me I could get Raiders to supervise a vassal at the farm, but if I can't access the workbench how can I do anything at Abernathy?

Did I miss something? Thanks!

PS. After taking Red Rocket but before taking Abernathy Farm I ran back to Red Rocket and I heard audio of people dying and as I walked into my base that had 14 Raiders, they all just dropped dead, leaving me with only Jammer and 2 Raider Recruits.....wha!

LOL I know I can drive people hard but they had only been under my thumb for about 5 minutes!

From another thread about upgrading vassals that are using a city plan:

Go to your Sim Settlements holotape options, under the Conqueror submenu, turn Control Vassals to on. that will allow you to upgrade the cities of vassals.

It's worth seeing if setting Control Vassals to on in the Conqueror section of the city manager holotape will also allow you to put down plots and access the workbench.

Hmm I would assume since the mod told me I could control vassals that it's on but I will give it a double check, thanks.

Indeed the settings under Conqueror in the MCM had control vassal settlements off, so I popped it back on and it instantly told me that I was now able to use the workbench at Abernathy.

Now I just have to figure out why all my raiders died in Red Rocket like the hand of god stuck them down.

Now I just have to figure out why all my raiders died in Red Rocket like the hand of god stuck them down.

My own raiders died because they weren't protected against the radiation that happens over the hill closer to Sanctuary. The latest Conqueror is supposed to have fixed that - are you using the latest version? Yours might be a similar problem.

I heard a raider grunting while I was laying down a few plots. Discovered a bit later that the count meter went from 15 raiders to 10. Found a bunch of dead raiders there. One dead body = a settler or raider going over to investigate resulting in mass death.

If you find out what killed your raiders (other than an attack that you somehow missed), post back so kinggath can find a way to prevent it.

The Thistles at Red Rocket give of radiation so try not to gather your team there.
