📋 About This Mod
The weird thing about this one was the fact that the base robot actually had the protected flag set...
Hypothesis: The workbench doesn't read the protected flag as it's inherited from a template.
Fix: Removes base data template and sets the values manually within the actor.
They began to spawn protected once I removed the template from the robot and set the protected flag directly within the robot.
It just works!
