📋 About This Mod

This Bunker Hill caravan brahmin have been replaced with unique Protectron-based and  Assaultron-based robots. These robots are individually customised for each of the Bunker Hill caravans to differentiate them. These robots are not cowardly brahmin, and they will attempt to defend their caravans. Their sandbox area has been enlarged so they can spread out around your settlements now.

The provisioner brahmin have been replaced with Mr Handy-based Logistics Bots. These robots will defend your vital shipments vigorously from all manner of attackers, turning your supply routes into the de-facto safest routes in the commonwealth.

It's best to use this in a new game. Otherwise caravan brahmin may be invisible. This is fixable with the console. See the help section.

Trashcan Carla

Built from a salvaged construction protectron, this robot comes equipped with a nailgun, and an assaultron shock claw. This robot carries all the junk you could need to build a settlement - with a hefty profit for Carla.

Doc Weathers

Built from a salvaged medic protectron, this robot comes equipped with an automatic laser, and a shock claw. As Doc Weathers isn't even a real doctor, now we know where all his medical expertise comes from.

Lucas

Built from a salvaged police protectron, this robot comes equipped with a lightning gun, and an assaultron shock claw. This robot is all the protection you need - but if you don't have one, there is always Lucas' armour.

Cricket

Built from a salvaged assaultron, this robot is all about making things go BOOM. Comes equipped with a hammer/saw, an assaultron shock claw and a HUGE EYE LASER. This robot is upsell pitch for why farmers should buy fatmans and mini-nukes, and not pipe pistols and ammo.

Logistics Bots

Sleek. Sexy. Elegantly Efficient. We could wax on poetically for hours on all the marvels of these Logistics Bots. These Mr Handy units have been engineered to pacify and eliminate most threats to your jet water supply shipments. They are also compact enough to navigate indoor settlements, to enable efficient trading with the mole people vault dwellers.

Sandboxing

The trader sandbox has been expanded so they now roam a bit more around your settlements. Traffic jams around your trading post should be a lot less frequent now as the traders and guards spread out to use furniture and recreational facilities in your settlement.
