📋 About This Mod
What is this and what does it do?
This mod adds a new build-able robot creature in the form of a full grown adult horse version of the Giddyup Buttercup robot toy called GrownUp Buttercup. GrownUp Buttercup functions as a player mount, storage container and simple companion.
To obtain GrownUp Buttercup:
While this mod has no effect on, or in any way touches Arlen Glass's quest (Giddyup N' Go) that quest will need to be completed either finishing it or failing it before this mount will become available to build. For reference Arlen Glass is located in The Slog settlement location in the greenhouse-like shack attached to the main building. Also the only way for you to fail his quest is by him dying before you receive\complete the quest. (As he is not considered a settler by the vanilla game any attack on the slog can cause his death.)
So after completing his quest enter a settlement. If you load a game that you previously already completed\failed Arlen's quest and you already in a settlement you will likely need to leave the settlement bounds and re-enter in order to trigger the mod. A pop up will display on your screen and afterwards you will be awarded a unique item called Giddy Circuit Board. Enter the workshop menu and scroll all the way to the right of the base workshop menu. You will see a Giddy head keychain labeled GrownUp Buttercup. Entering that menu will show the options: Giddy Workbenches and GrownUp Buttercup. The GrownUp Buttercup can be built from that menu provided you have the Giddy Circuit Board. The Giddy Workbenches (both are the same just different models) are for creating equip-able items for your GrownUp Buttercup. All workbench items serve no purpose other then cosmetic.
Some of the same warning stuff as all our driveables:
-Don't attempt to ride\enter another driveable while already on\in one
-Wearing power armor while riding is not recommended
Compatibility:
Mods that have known issues with Driveables are:
0) When installed with any of those Button Lowered Weapons, Lowered Weapons, Weapon Lowered mods, dismounting GrownUp Buttercup may:
--end with a face issue (though very rare) on the player. This is actually a vanilla bug (because we use Vertibirds as a base for these Mounts). Exit the game and the face should come back. Otherwise, make a choice which mod you want to use, those or this.
--cause the player to be unable to Mount\Dismount GrownUp Buttercup, while leaving the player with no control or control of GrownUp Buttercup at an inappropriate time.
1) Any mod that edits the animations for vertibird mount/dismount. Confirmed issue with Vertibird Jump.
2) Possible issues with Amazing Follower Tweaks. As far as we can tell, i
