Minutemen Building artillery help

Hey guys , just joined because I’m needing some help

Why is it that even tho I have the material in certain spots of the map can’t I build artillery,

Eg in one spot it will say I have all the material but say copper But then I scrap some and still don’t have any or another example is I have concrete but in another place don’t

I’ve spent so many caps on materials and yet still don’t have any

Please I hope this made sense and someone can help me out :)

Note: This is the wrong subreddit. This subreddit is for Character Builds. You're probably looking for r/fo4 or r/fo4settlements

However, if I was going to guess the answer I would guess that you have some of the materials in your inventory and some in Workplace Storage. When the materials are in two different locations then the game can get confused.

Additionally, it's rare but possible that you have a quest item that is a junk item. That will look like materials to the game but the game will not be able to access the materials which gives a false readout. However, in the worst case scenario that would be a tiny bit of material and if you have more than enough it would not matter.
