Question No vassals in range bug

[squeasyorange]

I cannot acquire any vassals when talking to Jammer as he will say
"Just remember, you're only killin' the hired guns. You can beat down the settlers, but don't kill 'em."
"Eh, there's nothin' close enough to our outposts to hit right now, Boss."
Notes:
-Main base is in Starlight
-I rediscovered Abernathy and is still not detectable by Jammer
-I have The Children of Atom faction pack but have not used it yet
-I do not have the 3 in 1 SS, It is Sim Settlements, Workshop Framework, ROTC, and Conqueror
-testing on new saves and without prebuilts did not seem to work
- At least two other people have the exact same bug, and reported it this month, so I suspect it could be something to do with patch 4.2.9

Ok, you have kind of an odd set-up, but I'll try to help?

I always use the 3n1 and mostly set up my vassal targets as part of the set-up process at the start of the game along with all the faction pack I am going to use but..... there are other ways.
As long as everything was set-up right at the mirror.

Don't let the name of the below video confuse you, it shows how to set-up a settlement for vassal assault when you haven't done the pre-builts. Pre-builts is how the mod was really designed still you can set it up manually in a live game.

As is, sounds like the way you have done things is you will have to set-up regular settlements in the actual main game as you go, then try to vassalize them. The below video does the same thing with a modded settlement and would be the same in your game for regular settlements.
