Sharing resources between Prydwen and Boston Airport

[Safecandy]

Greetings!

 

I have a mod that turns the Prydwen Quarters into a player home settlement like Home Plate. Initially I linked all of the workshops on the Prydwen Main Deck to the workbench I made for the Quarters player space so they would all share resources and it worked great. I've since tried to link my Prydwen Quarters workbench to the Boston Airport workbench so that both settlements share the same resources as outlined in the following thread from late 2017 https://forums.nexusmods.com/index.php?/topic/6036908-how-can-i-link-an-internal-and-external-workshop/

 

• I have all of the main deck workstations linked to my Prydwen Quarters Workbench via WorkshopItemLink keyword
• I also have all the main deck workstations linked to a Prydwen Quarters Workbench Resource Container via the WorkshipLinkContainer keyword
• I have this Prydwen Quarters Workbench Resource Container linked to the Prydwen Quarters Workbench via WorkshopLinkContainer
• Finally, I have the Prydwen Quarters Workbench linked tot he Boston Airport Workbench via WorkshopLinkContainer

 

Now, I'm running into a snag though. When I open a workstation on the Main deck there is nothing in it, but if I first go to the Prydwen Quarters and open the workbench or a workstation inside i see everything in the Boston Airport Settlement Workbench; and then if I go back to the Main Deck and open the same workstation as I did before, I see everything from Boston Airport again.

 

This is obviously problematic as you don't get the Prydwen Quarters until nearly the end of the BOS playthrough. So, my question is what am I doing wrong? Why does the Prydwen Quarters cell need to load in order for the Main Deck workstations to link up? It's odd because with my first iteration of the mod, w/o trying to link the Prydwen Quarters and the Airport, I did not need to load the Prydwen Quarters at all for all of the Main Deck workstations to share resources.

 

Thanks for the help!

Are you using the term workBENCH when you are referring to workSHOP ? If you are trying to link multiple workSHOPS then it wont work, investigation here

 

You can link every workBENCH in the commonwealth weather they are standalone or in a settlement: take a look at my SKK Quantum Storage mod which does this. As soon as you introduce one workSHOP it takes exclusive control, any further connections are ignored. My mod works around this by transferring the central storage contents in and out of a workSHOP in real time when entering and exiting building/construction mode.

Sorry if I'm mistakenly conflating the two terms, I was certain the big red settlement workshop was called a "workbench" in the CK. The problem in my original post is in regards to trying to link two of the big red workshops (a new one I made in the Prydwen Quarters and the in-game Boston Airport). Would linking both of these workshops to the same resource container allow both settlements to share resources?

No you can NOT link two red settlement workshops to the same container. What you can do is look at my SKK Quantum Storage mod as the next best workaround.
