Only one active beacon at once?

[roomaroo]

So I may be doing something wrong here, but I wanted to check.

When I drop a beacon I get no issues. Pick my settlement, confirm, done. BUT when I try to drop a second beacon, I don't get a menu prompt. In fact, not only do I have to wait until the salvage team returns with my items, I have to actually pick up the salvage beacon from my workshop before I can get a menu prompt.

Any ideas here? Great mod, makes survival mode playable in a lore friendly way, I just don't know if I'm messing it up somehow.

I Figured out a work-around!

All I have to do is drop my salvage beacons on the ground and pick them back up, then I receive the salvage prompt and am good to go!

I found that if for some reason the settler assigned to the salvage beacon desk gets unassigned they do not work.. Do not know if this is cause they are away from desk recovering a beacon or if auto assign is reassigning them something else. If it happens again instead of your work around save the game then go to where the desk and see if a settler is still assigned the comm desk

note I am not playing in survival mod and I have used multiple beacons at once. But you can only have one beacon per container
