Boston Airport/Prydwen Mix-Up

[trroyyc]

So I asked this on the Steam forums first, and got redirected here. Hopefully someone can help, thank you in advance!

 

So, I built my personal base (where I stash my weapons and armor and the like without any settlers there to steal it) at the Boston Airport, without realizing that when you fast travel to the Boston Airport, you spawn a ways away. Enough where it's a little annoying to constantly have to run to my base.

Anyways, I thought this would be an easy fix; I placed a fast travel spawn point down inside my base. When I tried fast traveling, I spawned at the original location, NOT the spawn point mat I put down. Then, I tried travelling to the Prydwen to turn in a quest... Turns out, I moved the Prydwen's fast travel location to the inside of my base when I placed a spawn point mat. Now, every time I try fast travelling to the Prydwen, I spawn at the Boston Airport settlement location, so if I want to get to the Prydwen, I have to go the long way and take the vertibird. I tried scrapping the fast travel spawn mat with no luck, I still spawn there. And because you can't actually build on the Prydwen, I can't place a new one to reset it.

Can someone please help me? It's really time consuming to constantly have to run to the vertibird to take it to the Prydwen. And, even better, if someone could figure out a way to move the Boston Airport fast travel spawn point to actually inside the Boston Airport settlement, that'd be amazing. Thanks again!

So basically you want the Prydwen's fast travel location to the Prydwen and the Boston Airport fast travel spawn point to inside the Boston Airport? I had put off fooling around with the Boston Airport but if you give me a day or two I can make some modifications. Basically, I want to do what you said, enlarge the build area, and swap the workbench to a regular workbench. Also, I want to look at what causes the Prydwen to give settlement stats on its map marker (probably wrong location set?)

If you could, that would be amazing. Also, I'm not well versed in modding by any means, but I'm gonna go out a limb and make the assumption that the Prydwen settlement marker actually represents the Boston Airport, which would explain why when you fast travel to the Boston Airport, you aren't spawned in the settlement itself, why the Boston Airport doesn't have a settlement marker despite being a settlement and the Prydwen has one despite NOT being a settlement, and finally why when I placed the fast travel point, it's the Prydwen spawn point that was affected.

Not exactly, I've been working on it for about an hour now. The Prydwen's marker is in the exterior, and exteriors are ruled by the parent Location data. In this case, the Prydwen is inside the Boston Airport Location which has all the settlement markers, etc. needed to tag it. Nothing can be done about that as that's how the game uses the Locations. I had that issue with Mass Fusion Disposal and Mass Gravel and Sand because someone at Bethesda tagged the Mass Gravel and Sand as inside the Location of Mass Fusion Disposal so it displayed the settlement statistics even though they were half the map apart.

 

When you fast travel to the Map Marker it should send you to the marker designated as center if I remember correctly. I'll keep working on it.

I've always wondered why placing fast travel mats have no effect at Boston Airport, Hangmans Alley is the same way for me.

 

I'm interested to see if you figure it out geno.

Thank you so much- installing it now, then I'll start it up.

Definitely feel free to comment and let me know if I missed anything as I changed A LOT to get it up to par. I want to make sure that I fixed the map marker issue.

So I have good news and bad news- good news is that fast travelling to Boston Airport actually puts me in my settlement! Thank you for that! But the bad news is that the Prydwen fast travelling point is still where I put the fast travelling spawn point mat (and then later scrapped it). I'll try verifying my game cache, and do another once over on my mods to see if there is anything that sticks out that could be interfering.

 

Edit: Don't want to double post, but after going through my mods, I don't think there would be anything that would mess with this. Only other settlement mod I have is Homemaker.

Hopefully! You may have to reload before that just in case. So note to self, never use a fast travel mat at Boston Airport. I also uploaded a version where the Jersey Barricades are scrappable. Hope you like all the renovations I did. I couldn't repair the broken walls because the whole airport from the workshop wall forward is one mesh so the walls are fused to the floor.
