Version 12 is out - a very important hotfix regarding the ghouls and fast travelling, caused by the release of the new new vegas patch. BuildableBots:NewVegas by chimp ------------------------------- Version 12 1. Introduction 2. Changelog 3. Features 4. FAQ 5. Credits 1. Introduction --------------- This mod adds a small shack in the starter town of GoodSprings, near the gas station and the Doc\'s house. Inside are some basic living quarters and the robot assembly pod / computer. By collecting the required parts and placing them into the pod, you can construct your own robots which have all the functionality of a basic companion. Parts can be scavanged off robots you destroy, or by converting every day objects via the workbench. 2.

Requires you to take perks when you level up. -A few other easter eggs 4. FAQ ------- Q) Where is it / where do I go? Its in the starter town of Goodsprings. Go left out of the Doc\'s house, and run past the gas station. Its right next door. Q) How does it work? What do I do? Place components into the assembly pod, and use the terminal to see if you can build a robot. Different robots require different parts / quantities of parts. Q) Where do I get parts from? A few are in the workshop to start you off, you can find more on any robots you kill. You can also create certain parts out of generic items via the workbench. Q) Can I repair robots? Yes, but only if you have the required science skill. The more advanced the robot, the higher the skill needed. Anyone can build a robot, but without the science to repair it, it will eventually break and you will lose all of those precious parts. Repairs can be done via accessing the command line, and consume either 1 x scrap electronics or 1 x scrap metal. Q) What is the command line for? Its for more advanced use of your robot. You can change the follow command from offensive to defensive. Defensive means the robot will stay close to you, and generally not run off as much to chase a bloatfly or whatever. Q) What does disabling the combat inhibitor do? Guess. Just like shooting on any robot, it will make your robot frenzy and attack anything (including you). Because of that there is a ten second delay after you confirm the order. The robot will stop following you and wait, and then suddenly it will go berserk and start shooting at everything.
