this doesn't really related, but does anyone else notice that robobrain's torse texture being the most blurry thing in the world? I tried many retexture packs but it looks all the same. I wonder if it has the similar texture or specular map issue
For anyone else wondering, there's one benign file conflict with UFO4P v2.1.4. The files are identical. UFO4P includes the fix for Protectron Medics' legs (AFKTrack Issue), but not the fix for the pink Robobrain body, so this mod is still needed. I did not check the HD DLC version, only the vanilla version.
Thanks for this, its a bug that always annoyed me but I never bothered to go digging into the textures and meshes files to try and fix it (I only have limited knowledge on changing textures etc.). Shame as I'd hope that it would also fix the same issue when using CDante's 'Moddable Buddy (Automatron)' mod to put Protectron arms and arm armour on Buddy (something that also always annoyed me) but it didn't fix it. I hoped it would drawn on your corrected textures but it still puts the blue/fireman lower arm texture on that part.
I can only guess but it sounds like CDante uses a different texture path for Buddy's arms. In this case the path needs to be changed to vanilla or the textures needs to replaced with my edited versions, then it should work. If it's a diffrend mesh for the arms my textures maybe wouldn't fit.
You could drop a comment on his mod page and ask nicely if he can take a look at the problem. If he want to use my textures he can include them.
I've looked into the 3 bugs you've posted but couldn't find a solution to fix them. The Robobrain Left Arm Hydraulic Frame looks allright in Nifskope and I have no idea why it doesn't work ingame. I think it's related to the mesh files but I don't have the skills to get the job done. Sorry.
For all of the time I have spent playing Fallout 4 I have never noticed this problem. However, after seeing your images, I cannot un-see Bethesda's miss XD Thank you very much for taking the time to fix this!
Actually, it would impact performance positively, since it now only has to load 1 textureset in memory instead of two, reducing drawcalls, but a few less drawcalls you won't notice, but it should releive stress a tiny bit.
I think the engine load a texture for every instance. So if you have 10 times the same barrel the engine loads 10 times the same barrel texture into the VRAM. There was a forum post for Skyrim back in the day where someone measured an additional strain of over 400 mb for the VRAM after he compared a rexture of the Khajiit, one set was 2K the other one was 4K. The scene was at Whiterun where the traveling traiders camps. I tested that too and came to the same results.
That would be bad, but wouldn't surprise me with such a badly upgraded engine. Most engines nowadays do batching texturesets to reduce drawcalls pretty well, you would think that this is a very important tweak to a engine that's already struggling to keep up.

-Sorry for the language, I used Google Translate-
thanks a lot for your bug report.
I wasn't aware of this issue. It is fixed in version 1.1
PS: Your English is perfect, no need to apologize for anything.
I'm still in search of bug fixes:
"Robobrain Left Arm Hydraulic Frame" [simply does not appear]
"Assaultron Left Hand Hydraulic Frame" [when using the "Assaultron Left Hand Claw" or "Assaultron Left Shock Claw" it rotates with the claw]
"Assaultron Right Hand Hydraulic Frame" [when using with the Right Hand Stealth Blade it stays up]
If you know of any MOD that corrects this, please tell me.
Again, I'm sorry for the English, I used google translator.
