Moddable Robot Settlers

what it can do

Makes all robots in Graygarden, Drinkin Buddy, Professor Goodfeels in Sunshine Tidings Co-op, and Deezer in Covenant fully modifiable as Automatrons. Several bugs were also fixed, such as Codsworth being unmodifiable and Goodfeels automatically disappearing.

Here's a much needed compilation of my early mods:

• Moddable Buddy
• Moddable Graygarden
• Modifiable and fixed Goodfeels
• Codsworth Automatron Fix
• Moddable Deezer

You can also consider this mod as a framework to unlock robot settler NPCs for use in other modes such as Automatron EyeBot Companions, Automatron - Weapons System Overhaul or AutomatronSecuritron!

How to install

Extract the contents of the rar file to the Fallout4/data folder.

Use the mod manager or enable ModdableRobotSettlers.esp manually.

Make sure these lines appear in Fallout4Prefs.ini or Fallout4Custom.ini:

compatibility

Requires Fallout 4 Automatron DLC.

This is a framework designed to work perfectly with other Automatron mods, as it unlocks additional mods for robot settler NPCs such as Automatron EyeBot Companions, Automatron - Weapons System Overhaul or AutomatronSecuritron!

-Ren-'s "Handy Hats and Armors" (current version 1.31) will hide Torso and Legs mods from any vanilla Ms. Nany/Mr. Handy/Mr. Gutsy NPC, including Codsworth, since -Ren- removed the "ap_Bot_BotCore" and "ap_Bot_BotLegs" DLC Automatron required keywords to be entered in Mr. Handy Race's APPR record. Thanks fernicar for reporting to me!

There is also a patch available to fix Handy Hats and Armors: Handy Hats for Companions Patch by SpicedSuit / Electrosus912

How to use in game

generally

If you have the appropriate solution, you can modify resident robot settlers in Robot Workbench like any other Automatrons. A general rule of thumb is to change mods designated as "non-automaton" first.

CODSWORTH

If you can't customize Codsworth in the workbench, just install this mod, launch the game and he should be fixed.

GOODFEELS

• To fix Goodfeels install the mod, start the game, if you have visited Sunshine Tidings and Professor Goodfeels has left, open the console and type:

prid 000d5221

player.moveto 000d5221

enable

PRID

You will be teleported to Professor Goodfeels' location. Now he won't disappear again.

• Keep him in command at the settlement and stop him from wandering
• Travel to other settlements outside of the Sunshine Tidings co-op, such as Starlight Drive In
• Enter the console, enter prid d5221 and select Goodfeels
• Move Goodfeels to your location by entering moveto player
• Exit the console, enter studio mode, highlight Goodfeels and use the "move" command to properly attach him to the settlement
• After that he can command the mission, he can also move to other settlements

• So that he can modify Sunshine Tidings as a solution, with Goodfeels fixed as above, you can modify it in Robot Workbench like any other Automatrons. Just change the mod designated as "Non-Automatron" and you're golden.

Known issues

Deezer's Mr. Handy has a strange bug on his arm. If you're stuck with multiple weapons in one arm or a misplaced arm, SamusKnight2K posted a solution in the comments: remove all parts, reset them to use non-automaton parts, and open the console. Click on him and type "recycleactor" and reset his body. This fixes the weird arm bug.
