Looking for Vault 88 Provisioner

[SirGalahad]

Assigned a route between Jaimaica Plain and Vault 88. Have never seen this provisioner again, which is surprising, as he's the only person other than myself walking topside with a vault suit.

 

Any idea where I might best intercept this provisioner?

 

Thank you!

Check your map and hit "C" to see if the route has been established. Also, do you use any mods that make settlers/provisioners vulnerable? If so, provisioners can get killed underway and you'll need to assign a new provisioner.

 

This being said, supply lines to inner cell settlements have always a tendency to be finicky. Same with the Mechanist's Lair. Provisioners do show up eventually, but it takes a while and when they do, they tend to stick around for far too long as of a certain point, though the latter happens at most settlements.

 

Could be a coincidence, but I have the Mechanist's Lair provisioner show-up when I start building there. The game likes a provisioner to get in the way, you see. Never have built at Vault 88 because I don't like the content of that DLC. I just keep it because a lot of mods I use are All-In-Ones that depend on Vault 88 being included.

Someone was telling me to use the Vault-Tec console to unassign the provisioner. As you said, I've not seen him anywhere, not the way I would see other provisioners out on the road.

 

I rushed the poor fellow out the door without giving him a good weapon, and was hoping to remedy that situation. I've not added mods to make provisioners vulnerable. I actually feared they already were, more or less.

by default they are invunrable, but they can get stuck if they run into a bunch of mobs, they go down, get up, go down again, can take ages till the mobs are be killed

He is certainly lost.

 

I unassigned him and reassigned him to a store. He never appeared in the vault. He is counted as being the storekeep, but is nowhere to be found.

I unassigned him from that, hoping I could assign him back to the caravan route, as someone online had posted the console command to find the provisioner and teleport him to the player—but we cannot assign the caravan route to someone not standing in front of us.

 

Now I have this unemployed, vanished NPC who still counts as one of my settlers. Will be looking for a blue jump suit along the side of a road between Jamaica Plain and Vault 88.
