If, say, ‘someone’ went out and killed 1600 pieces of garbage and 2400 various and assorted other pieces of wasteland abomination, that wouldn’t make him a bad man would it?
Because er...someone... doesn’t FEEL like a psychotic homicidal maniac. I...someone I mean, loves puppies. And ponies. Beautiful power armored ponies and puppies with steel plating...
If you have balky settlers. whether they are stuck on a roof, trapped inside walls, won't go to work, sell at stores or whatever device they use to shirk their jobs, just fast travel to your settlement from your settlement and everyone will pop into place.
I had a trader stall dude that would always end up on the roof of my 2 story bunkhouse, so he never went to work, I'd go up on the roof and take the roof piece off so he'd fall down into the building but then he would stay there, I had the old sight bag-lady end up in the "attic" of one of the houses and wouldn't come down no way, no how.
Fast traveling cured all this and takes less time than chasing them down.
