javikrules Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I wish there was a way to put Automatrons to good use out there in the world, battling enemies and delivering robotic law to the lawless. The best I can do is assign a robot as a provisioner to a supply route, but that isn't really scratching the itch. It'd be great to have a mod that lets you assign specific Automatrons to roving patrols, routes, or maybe specific locations. Like assign 3 of your automatrons to hang out near Boston Commons and fight enemies. Or in my case, assign a few robots to guard the entrance to Hub 360 where my Noir Penthouse player home is based. That sort of thing. It seems like there's still potential with Automatron to put it to good use, rather than just have the robots hang around settlements (unless there are mods that do this? I can't find any). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instyne49 Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 There are several that may work for you, no guarantees. https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/20823 Robots Coming in Settlements. And https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/5787 Robot Home Defence, That's the way it's spelt in the description. Don't forget this optional file, without it the mod may not work properly. Robot Home Defence- Settlement Keywords Patch. Hope these help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javikrules Posted September 1, 2020 Author Share Posted September 1, 2020 Thanks for the tip on those. Though they both look like replacements for Automatron's functionality more than anything. Oh well. Thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
instyne49 Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 I've used this mod for several years. It has most of the robots, the ones that can speak anyway. There are some markers that can be put down to assign specific areas. They will also temporarily leave their home area to attack intruders. Finch farm is an example, it has the water plant on one side and Saugus Ironworks on the other. The robots will activity defend both directions. Country Crossing is another, with the Military Training building fairly close. I've had Assaultrons go all the way over to take out ghouls, then return back home. I used to hate the popup saying a settlement was under attack, but with Robot Home Defense, getting the message that it was successfully defended a few minutes later. It's not for everybody, but I always use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
javikrules Posted September 3, 2020 Author Share Posted September 3, 2020 Interesting. My wish is a mod that lets you send robots anywhere. Pick a location on the map and they'll go there and patrol/guard/etc. I like Automatron robots defending settlements, that's cool, but it seems like they could do more in the game.

Wolfbane771 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 This isn't exactly what you're asking for, but maybe it'll work for you in the meantime? It's a mod called Servitron, and it allows you to create assaultrons with human hands that are able to wield weapons like a companion (and can follow you as a companion), and can also be assigned to guard posts at settlements. It can be tricky to get it to work right, so be sure to read the instructions carefully.Here's the link, hope this helps!https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/32801 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
