Information

I couldn't think of a better name to be honest.

We all know that Automatron is the best DLC with the best companions that can be absurdly overpowered or be annoying dead weight that keeps falling apart if the enemy decides to give it even the slightest attention.

This adds a Torso Misc. mod called "Old Institute Robotics" that adds various buffs to your Automatron:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • +300 Carry Weight
  • +5000 Health
  • +100% Movement Speed
  • +200 Damage & Energy Resist
  • Less Stagger effect (gets staggered less by incoming attacks)
  • Limb/Body damage immunity (also seems to prevent the 'unstable' parts from destroying itself)
  • Fall Damage immunity (v1.1)
  • Hack & Lockpick capability (v1.2)

"Old Institute Robotics" requires the player to have:
  • 'Armorer Rank 2' perk
  • 1000 Caps 


(v1.1) This adds a Torso Misc. mod called "Tinker Tom's Limit Bypass" that focuses on damage for your Automatron:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • +100% Damage (Bot weapon damage values do not show any change in the Robot Workbench but they definitely do more damage)
  • +500 Health
  • +100% Movement Speed
  • Less Stagger effect (gets staggered less by incoming attacks)
  • Limb/Body damage immunity (also seems to prevent the 'unstable' parts from destroying itself)
  • Fall Damage immunity
  • Hack & Lockpick capability (v1.2)

"Tinker Tom's Limit Bypass" requires the player to have:
  • 'Hacker Rank 2' perk
  • 1000 Caps


(v1.2) This adds a Torso Misc. mod called "Chinese Stealth Tech" that focuses on damage for your Automatron:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • +100% Damage (Bot weapon damage values do not show any change in the Robot Workbench but they definitely do more damage)
  • +500 Health
  • Constant invisibility effect on Bot (Not reliable for sneaking around as Bots don't sneak, enemy detection results were varied in my tests)
  • +Ally Stealth (Increases Stealth of nearby allies)
  • Less Stagger effect (gets staggered less by incoming attacks)
  • Limb/Body damage immunity (also seems to prevent the 'unstable' parts from destroying itself)
  • Fall Damage immunity
  • Hack & Lockpick capability

"Chinese Stealth Tech" requires the player to have:
  • 'Scrapper Rank 2' perk
  • 1000 Caps


(v1.2) This adds a Torso Misc. mod called "The Mechanist's Robotic Mastery" that combines damage & durability for your Automatron:
Spoiler:  
Show

  • Combines "Tinker Tom's Limit Bypass" & "Old Institute Robotics"

"The Mechanist's Robotic Mastery" requires the player to have:
  • 'Blacksmith Rank 3' perk
  • 4000 Caps


POTENTIAL ISSUES:
  • Despite the immunity to limb damage, I've occasionally seen limbs get destroyed randomly but I haven't been able to consistently experience nor recreate that issue. (I believe this is a vanilla issue)
  • The increased movement speed affects the distance of certain animations such as: Melee-focused bots with thrusters, as some attacks are delivered while backing up causing them to miss
  • This is a vanilla issue but sometimes Bot companions will not unlock Terminals/Locks as if they did not have the ability to
  • Sometimes the Fall Damage immunity does not work
