Resolved Disappearing factory

I seem to have a bug where the building has disappeared and there is all the clutter left over. The factory is the robotics workshop.

I had removed a separate Addon that has no factories in it and then the building for the robotics workshop disappeared.

My attempted solution for now was to use the t square till I found the robotics again and then rebuild it. I don't know if this will work.

I had already tried the immersion breaker via pipboy for the settlement and it didn't work.
 
Let me know if the rebuild via the t-square ends up resolving it.

Will do, my worry is once it gets to lvl 3 it will not work as some of the clutter is replaced instead of added on to. But I will keep you updated thanks for your support.
 
  1. Had this same issue hapen to me but it was a farm plot that disapeared and just left the clutterm that could not be deleted
 
I have had a couple of lots with disappearing foundation/mailbox/power post. The house or shop etc remains floating and still being used.

Can't use the IBB or AS as the post is gone but tried refresh local plots but it basically is no longer counted (plot count has dropped down). I think I can use helper to scrap the stuff but yeah... had this happen twice now.
 
update:

using the helper and STS I managed to scrap everything... except for this helpful shop sign:

which pretty much sums up how I'm feeling about the situation. lol.

There also seems to be some invisible shop mat or something I can't select, because the shop keeper is still assigned and also hovers in the air with his clipboard.

(I added the foundations here after deleting all the shop stuff, they were never a part of the plot)

so this particular shop was obviously a part of an add-on, but the house that I had it happen to before was an SS base Kinggath one.
 
I have the same thing happening with Universal Library Coffee. The structure vanished, but everything else stayed.
This is on PC
Ive tried the T-square and IBB. Nothing works.
Its weird, it was working 1 day, saved and logged off, next day gone.
Havent added any new mods or anything

I believe this is due to workshop scripts getting backed up, Kinggath released a helper mod to assist with getting rid of things that stay behind after a move/destroy
 
Hihihi - I thought the Crap-sign would be adequate in the game but must admit didn't foresee this :) I'm sure I made the letters scrapable but better have a look again.
Sometimes in testning I've had the buildings disappear and only clutter left, but the IBB usually fixes it, not sure why Universal Library Coffee would misbehave - @pyratelv do you have the latest version of our mod?

I did try hovering over each letter and around it to try and see if it came up but couldn't. Everything else scrapped fine :)
 
Just checked and I missed the letters - sorry about that! I kept the original modder's prefix and forgot about them for the scrap list. We'll fix it and have an update up soon. But if the streetlight-pole is gone (which is a bug I haven't encountered and don't know why it happened - weird), I hope the holotape-update option still helps?
 
The disappearing plot is a complete mystery to me. Having a plot disappear is the equivalent of having a guard post or a bed disappear in vanilla!

I really need saves from PC users that have this problem and haven't cleaned up any of the objects. I might be able to deduce what's happening and prevent it.
 
As of patch 2.0.3, activating the ASAM Sensor will now restore a plot that the game engine decided to make disappear.
 
Going up tomorrow, I'm just trying to clear out a lot of the bug reports that I know are or will be fixed.
