Has anyone worked out how to force a settlement to ally / start the related specifc radiant quest for it?

Basically as in the title.

 

Or rather.... I'm trying to undo the damage done by completing "Feeding the Troops". I want that last settlement allied, without just killing everyone there. I've devoted several hours to just hoping the relevant radiant quest will start on its own and it simply refuses to. It's Somerville place, to be specific.

 

Is there someway of doing this with console commands, or am I just stuck?

If you killed everyone, that settlement is yours, according to the rules set by the game scripts.

I know the problem, had it myself in one playthrough, never got the quest from there.

There is afaik no ingame way to force it, so only way is through console:

setstage MinRecruit01 50

or
setstage MinRecruit07 50

or
setstage MinRecruit02 50

 

Pulled from Wiki, these are possible recruitement quest for Somervile Place.

[RuinsFate]

setstage MinRecruit01 50

or

setstage MinRecruit07 50

or

setstage MinRecruit02 50

 

Sadly these are the generic miniutemen radiants. Without knowing how to force the relevant questalias that makes them target Somerville Place, you can't use the console to start them.

And for some reason the settlers that were supposed to be in somerville place ended up appearing in Russia. Needless to say, i can't actually talk to them so I had to console complete the quest asking me to talk to them.
