Stargazer09 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 How can I transfer settlers from a small settlement to one that's bigger and more established, but needs more bodies?In addition to Sanctuary, I have added Abernathy Farm & Tenpines Bluff to my settlements list. But the latter two have so few people I'm thinking they're better off at the former. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chucksteel Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 while in settlement mode select the NPC at the bottom you should see a "Move" Command. (I don't remember the vanilla key because I use custom keybinding) Click the key and you'll get a menu asking which of your settlements you want them to move to. Note: if the settlement settler limit is maxed the settlement will not show in this list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jones177 Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 In the settlement press R to get into workbench mode. Aim at the settler & press "R". That will give you the menu to transfer them. Later Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOriginalEvilD Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 On a side note, early on in the game I always set up recruitment beacons in every settlement I gain control of, even the ones I don't plan on doing any building on, and use that as a way of farming for settlers. Every once in a while I'll go around and send them off to the main settlements I want them in until I have enough, and then I turn the towers off so I don't end up with 20 people in one tiny little cramped settlement (not that it would really matter, in fact that may be a good way to have backup settlers if you find they keep getting killed).

Stargazer09 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 The option to get them to move is grayed out. I can assign them, like to security or farming, but the "move" option can't be selected.Are there any prerequisites, and if so what are they?

HandofBobb Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 There are some settlers that can't be moved from thier original Settlements, like the robots at Graygarden, The Abernathys, and the two starting settlers at both Tenpines and Oberland Station that I know of, probably more.

They're either ones that can't be moved or the settlement you're trying to move to is full per whatever your settler cap is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
