so before the tiny update a few hours back I had more issues than I have now so that’s a positive thing.
I created a guild and those that were in the settlement before joined the guild and they also aligned their beacon to the guild
now when I align my settlement with the guild (that I created) my settlement the future gets turned into an unnamed settlement but when I remove my settlement the whole settlement gets back to original how it was before, maybe an expert can come and see what I mean and hopefully solve the problem I’m having to get my build into the guild because that’s the issue
I think right now if the beacon owner is not an executive in the aligned guild, nobody can change the settlement name. The beacon owner has to be an executive in the guild it seems.
I assume this is a bug. A few PS members experienced this too.
I haven’t tried with my main base in our capital, but when I had aligned my shops to the guild they turned into Unnamed Settlements too, that I could not rename.
before the tiny update a couple of hours ago it was a real mess, even the roads 3 plot wide showed 3 different settlements on each plot -.- i tried adding more ,removing some but nothing worked, then after it got updated that time the roads got fixed
i cannot even enjoy the game anymore because all day im busy trying to solve the issue
I had the same issue, somehow you can’t name the ‘guild settlement’ the same as the original settlement. When it’s not aligned, rename the whole settlement temporarily to something else. Then align the beacon to the guild. Rename the guild settlement to the correct name.
After that you can rename the overarching settlement again to it’s original name.
irritating, yes, but solvable
FYI, I just renamed it to Greater New Leyden, then aligned again, finally after that I could rename the guild settlement to New Leyden…
and of course changed the normal settlement name New Leyden as well…
So now I have a New Leyden located in New Leyden and appear twice in the world top 5, silly, but ok…
Unalign the beacon that before was the beacon where you named the settlement. Done
Rename settlement to another name entirely. done changed THE FUTURE to THE FUTUREOLD
Align beacon to guild Done
Now rename the settlement of the guild to the name you want. Should now accept the name.(nope cannot rename the unnamed settlement it still won’t let me)
Then change the temporary name also back to the name it was, should accept it. Done
Somehow you can’t name the guild settlement the same as the settlement it’s located in.
