I always loved robots and mechs so, when I heard that fallout 4 was going to get an entire dlc on which you could fully customize your own robot it filled my heart with joy.
However, after spending some time travelling the commonwealth with my new killing machines, I felt that something more could have been done since there are no plasma weapons for robots, not to mention that at higher and late gameplay session they simply become quite inefficient against harder enemies.
I used for quite some time "Automatron - Weapons System Overhual" by Karel2015 which somehow mitigated this "problems" but, while it's a great mod, it introduced too many features which in my opinion weren't particularly logic ( or functional at all ) and, as you might know, the mod is long since abandoned and causes quite a bit of conflicts with the official Nuka-World DLC.
This mod basically does 2 things:
1) It expands the weapons and customization options at your disposal, giving you the ability to craft the following weapons/attachments:
- - Automatic Plasma Rifle
- - Plasma Flamer
- - Plasma Scattergun
- - Plasma Sniper Rifle
- - Hi-speed Minigun
- - Incendiary Minigun
- - Mr.Gutsy 44 Magnum
- - Mr.Gutsy Auto 10mm Gun
- - Mr.Gutsy Plasma Gun
- - Mr. Handy Mace
- - Mr. Handy Axe
- - Lorenzo Artifact Gamma Gun ( only craftable if you have lorenzo artifact gamma dish in your inventory )
- - Shoulder Mounted Gauss Rifle ( only avalaible with pieces of equipment that doesn't get in the way )
- - Shoulder Mounted Quad Rocket Launcher
- - Back Mounted 81 mm Heavy Mortar Launcher
- - Back Mounted 81 mm Incendiary Mortar Launcher
- - Back Mounted 81 mm Mortar Cluster Launcher
- - 40 mm Grenade Launcher
- - 40 mm Canister Shot
- - MicroWave Emitter ( works like Tesla coils except it sets nearby enemies on fire )
- - Explosive Shielding ( increase resistance against explosions )
- - Kynetic Dampening Unit ( completely negates all falling damages )
- - Cryogenic Emergency Discharge ( release a powerful cryogenic blast when robot's health drop below 10 % )
2) It changes/reworks some aspects of the original Fallout4 and Automatron DLC which I personally feel didn't make much sense, specifically:
- - Ahab head armor for Sentry Bots now makes melee enemies flee in panic instead of settings them on fire
- - The regeneration field has been toned down ( the healing rate was too high, killing the purpose of stimpaks, expecially in survival experience )
- - Removed the unstable effects from Gatling Laser and Explosives Minigun
- - Change the shoulder mounted Fat Man Launcher to Fusion Core Launcher ( for lore reasons )
- - Change the shoulder mounted Gas Launcher projectile, area of effects and magnitude
- - Change the shoulder mounted Cluster Launcher projectile, making it explode upon impact rather than spawn additional projectiles
- - Change the name of certain weapons
- - Increase mesmetron attack speed but removes it's seeking ability ( you'll need a specific piece of equipment for that - look below )
- - Cyclops head armor for Robobrains now gives back the mesmetron attack the ability to seeks it's target, on top to the buffed damage
- - Increase the accuracy of Minigun
- - Increase the accuracy and damage of Missile Launcher
- - Increase both the number of shots and accuracy of the Laser Scattergun
- - Increase the long range accuracy of Sentry Bots heads
- - Increase the melee abilities of Assaultron heads
- - Change the flamer projectile to actually sets enemy on fire upon hit
- - New mesh for Mr. Handy / Mr. Gutsy Laser gun
- - New mesh for Mr. handy / Mr. Gutsy Combat Gun
- - New mesh for Cryo Gun
- - New mesh for Laser Gatling
- - Sentry Heavy Flamer, now behave like a Napalm thrower
- - Lighting Gun does extra damage to Robots, Synths, Turret and Power Armor, with a small chance to briefly deactivate them
- - Remove the ability to equip a robot with Fire Axe or Baton when either Assaultron Legs or Robobrain Treads are installed ( since they quite don't fit their melee animations )
- NMM: Download as usual and let the Nexus Mod Manager take care of it
- Manual: Extract the content into the Data folder and activate AEWS-Core.esp
- Load your savegame
- Travel to your nearest settlement
- Make sure there are no hostile robots in your cell (Wasteland robots / Mechanist's robots)
- Load your robot in the workbench and remove every piece of equipment ( be it new or vanilla ) until it only has a pair of legs and a torso
- Repeat the process above for every single robots you own
- Take every robot related MISC object you have in your inventory and place it in your workshop storage
- Save your game ( this way if anything goes awry you'll have a back-up point )
- Proceed with the uninstallation process as usual: delete both AEWS - Main.ba2 and AEWS.esp or let the NMM take care of it.
- An optional .esp which will be focused on overhauling the crafting requirements for both new and vanilla equipment to a more logical and believable approach ( MAYBE )
- New weapons
- An optional .esp which will inject all new weapons into hostile robots
All new weapons with custom meshes will be shown attached to the torso section when targeted in VATS( FIXED in V 1.1 )For the same reason as above when a weapon with new custom meshes gets destroyed in combat it will still being shown attached to the robot ( I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this )( FIXED in V 1.1 )- Random CTD when equipping robots with the mortar launchers ( still trying to figure out why )
