Question Post 4.2.4: Raiders not assigning automatically

On a new game, I completed Jammer's intro quests and took over Red Rocket to start. Fired off a City Plan, then went to take Abernathy as a vassal. Although Assignment is set to auto, none of the raiders appear to be assigning to plots at Red Rocket (meaning the hidden city plots never start building). I was going to lay down a manual plot to test but decided to just continue with the quest chain for the moment. After Abernathy, I fired off a city plan there too. The one Abernathy to survive did get assigned to a farming plot but the two raiders did not get assigned to any city plan posts. Nothing is building except for the one settler who built a farm plot.

To test it further I went into the holotape to switch assignment off and back on for all four options. Raiders aren't assigning. I believe this happened in the last year after an update as well. I wonder if this will impair recruitment as well because there are no beds.

Also, is it still true that after a successful vassal raid that the raiders at a settlement with no preexisting guard posts will just wander back to their assigned settlements? Mine did. They wandered off too quickly and left my new vassal open to attack. Shouldn't at least one if not two stick around even if unassigned to a plot and be considered guards by default?
 
Update: Manually placed plots are auto assigned as expected. So that means the city plan plots aren't being assigned I'm guessing (currently have both seasons installed). Am going to reinstall the city plan plots, do a refresh of the city plans and report back.
 
Update #2: Reinstalled and refreshed one of the city plans (Red Rocket). No assignment of raiders to city plots from that effort. Basically I have three brand new city plans with no plots building.

However at Tenpines, a new vassal, one and only one martial plot did build. The two settlers aren't building farm plots and my other raider guard is unassigned.

Ken, I am purely going off of the title of the thread.
"Raiders not assigning automatically"

When this starts to happen to me. I slow down everything in my game. :umnik2
Run a Fallrim Check
Idle and walk "everywhere"
Internal Cell waiting and saving
Questing - away from the problem settlements
No settlement assaults
And did I suggest "Running a lot of Fallrim Checks?" :good

 
Been there with those items. Barely any script load compared to more full length save games I've run in the past. Nothing unattached. I always walk everywhere. Been to the farthest part of the map in the south doing something, came back by walking, nada. Manual plots built as instantly as the timer for them says. Changed my mind about which building would build, zip bang boom built as fast as it could, done in moments.

Plots in city plans are not building at all, with that one exception at Tenpines.
