Armor Crafting Station Fallout 4

Easily the most exciting part of the Automatron DLC for Fallout 4 is the ability to build a new robot from scratch, with an absurd number of different combinations possible as you swap out heads, arms, legs, and torsos.

Fallout 76; Power armor crafting station problem; User Info: Buzzedaldrin86. Buzzedaldrin86 1 year ago #1. I just completed the quest and unlocked the plans for the power armor crafting station. I built one and placed it and it consumed the resources for the build and made the purchase sound but I didn't get my crafting station and it wasn't. The mod for the stations in game is the armorsmith keywords. If you have 50 flavors of benches it's because you (like me) try tons of mods for clothing/armor/weapons from different modders. All avoidable if you stick with the popular route, but the cost of doing business as a 'try all, see all' type.

Before you can get to crafting your ideal 'bot, you must first complete the 'Mechanical Menace' quest and build a robot crafting station at any settlement (see our guide on getting started here).

1. Fallout 4 offers many customization options for armor, including the power armor. Normal armor has 2 different mods to choose from, but vault jumpsuits have one. Power armor is different because you can mod each piece of the armor. You need high-rank Armorer perks for all armor and also Science for vault jumpsuits and power armor.
2. And according to the description, it mentions an AWKCR armor crafting station. I 've had that mod forever and didn't even know it came with it's own station, since I thought all the mod was supposed to do make mods that add new clothing/armor comptabible.

While the crafting station is primarily for upgrading your new companion Ada or building a custom robot, you can also bring Codsworth or Curie to your crafting station and seriously modify them as well!

Getting New Robot Parts

Although there are multiple voices and paint jobs offered at the crafting station, only those standard base options are available with no additional mods to be discovered (although hopefully that changes with future DLC). There are loads of extra building options for every other part of the 'bot, however.

Unfortunately not all those robotic mods are available when you first build a crafting station. To earn more, you can pick up individual mods off the robots you destroy during the three main quests in Automatron. That's a slow and inefficient way to go about it though, as the mod drops seem to be fairly random.

After completing the 'Restoring Order' quest (either by killing the Mechanist or resolving the situation peacefully) you get ALL the mods at once, without any searching at all.

I recommend taking this route before spending too much time modding robots, as the Automatron DLC is quite short, and there are many mods you'll want to use that are hard to find in random loot drops.

Robot Part Types

There are five main robot types to choose from, with various body parts available for each type:

• Assaultron
• Protectron
• Mister Handy
• Robobrain
• Sentry Bot

After picking a specific type for a body part (such as an assaultron head, robobrain legs, etc.), don't forget to add armor for each location! Simply picking a new part doesn't add armor – you have to use additional materials to craft armor for every location.

Unlike the hero of Fallout 4, your robots aren't restricted to using one weapon at a time. By combining the assaultron head laser with one melee arm, one ranged arm, and two sentry shoulder launchers, its possible to create an absolute killing machine with a huge number of attacks that can clear out entire areas for you.

Below is a full listing of every single mod available for each body segment, along with a listing of what perk requirements must be met before you can build them.
