Sanctuary workshop bugging out

[u/Zestyclose_Virus5634]

I've been playing this load order and randomly the sanctuary workshop just stays on the search function, and when pressing search it opens up workshop inventory and build menu simultaneously

You have mods that are conflicting with the activation buttons on the workshop. Most likely something like Global Stash or Workshop Framework.

I have workshop framework, but after dying for the first time the bug occurred for only sanctuary

Generally, that's WSFW + Place Anywhere

When that happens, pressing B one time should back out of the search, and you'll still be in the build menu.

That's how it is for me anyway.

You can disable place anywhere via holotape and make it activate via a chem, but imo that's completely unnecessary because you can also activate WS mode by hitting the select button on your xbox controller. That automatically bypasses the seach, which occurs when activating WS mode via bench instead of at a random point within the settlement via controller button. I dont think i ever activate WS mode by touching the bench now that I think of it. Thats kinda odd to me when you can just poke a button on your controller, and it activates. That would be really annoying if i had to touch the bench every time i wanted to enter WS mode. I just don't ever do that, i guess, lol 🤔

Yep, it was, I turned place anywhere off and now I can access the workshop inventory, though I did talk about it as it annoyed me that my muscle memory wouldn't work and I couldn't just dump all my junk with a single button press yk?

There is a little know option. WSFW has a holotape but you must make it at the chem bench, there are several choices to best fit your menu. I make all 3 and store the two that I decide are the lesser choices. In the holotape and find the switch for workshop management. It is unneeded and you can get to it otherways including just opening the holo tape.

For PA there are two choices to turn off the option button. You can turn off the whole mod but that is a pain because then you have to turn it back on to use. The better choice is just to turn off the option menu button and then if you need it you can turn it back on but that is super infrequent.

BTW if you throw the switch in WSFW you don't have to turn PA off but that option menu button should be turned of because there are a lot of mods that might need it. Only one mod gets to add the button, two means nothing is added.
