    Settlement Police Bot

    Mr Law robot which provides law enforcement services for a settlement.

    The main download is for the .ESP file; an .ESL version is also available. Install one or the other, not both.

    If you use Nexus Mod Manager (NMM) to install mods and patches, go get the newest version found Here.

    Hello, your Protectron bots are a must-have in my LO: is there any way we could get an AiO of those for use over on Xbox (we only have 150 slots, and making an AiO would be really useful)
    Also, I've noticed the Repair Bot keeps telling me No Repairs Needed.  Is there a way to turn off these notifications?

      Nope, no plans to ever do an AiO release on any platform.

      Interact with his station pod and set his Repair Frequency to No Repair Checks.

    In the plugin "Recruitable Settlers", there are specialists who identify synths pretending to be settlers. In case of detection, the synths attack first, which allows the specialist not to become an enemy for other settlers. Does your police robot have such a function?

      These robots are not able to detect the presence of Synths pretending to be Settlers.  It is intentional, in order to ensure that this "surprise" game feature can still happen.

      It's very sad. I don't like such surprises.

    i wish there was a setting for it so that it patrols the settlement not guards one area

    Please disable the defender level binding to the player level.

    idea for the police bot
    how about that, the higher the level of mr law the better the robot as to speak

    lvl 1 protectron
    lvl 2 mr guts/eyebot
    lvl 3 robo brain/mr guts
    lvl 4 assaulttron/robobrain
    lvl 5 sentry bot/assaulttron

    i posted 2 varriants because the sentry bot could be to much our would be to difficult because of his size
    tried to think about a logical list the protectron is more like a civilian bot with the lowest ranking in comparrison with the assaultron our even the sentry bot
    if i think about it the second varriant looks more plausible

    our that the protectrons looks at least better and has better fitting with higher levels
    (only build lvl 1 and got a look at lvl 2 and they look the same at least at building)

    Greetings, Athelbas.
    I really like all your robot helpers and I've installed 5. They are cute, helpful and they speak.

    I just want to know if their are limits how many robots I can build per settlement.
    I built 5 police bots, 4 of them came out off the pots and began to search the area but the 5th stood still in pod and did not move. And when I clicked more time to 'speak' with him I got CTD. I do NOT want to say that the mod did CTD, I just thought maybe I installed too many police bots per settlement and it caused the crash.

    Thank you.

      For certain robots there is a limit of one per settlement; e.g. Mr Tidy and Mr Salvage.  There are no other imposed limits for how many can be built.

      So I have no idea why that crash occurred, or whether it was my mod that caused it.  If you ever have a saved game that can easily be used to cause such a crash, then please make it available for investigation.  It should be a "full" saved game (not a "quick" save) with your character standing nearby.

      Saved games are in \Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Saves with .FOS as the extension. Upload it to somewhere I can grab it from, or email it as an attachment to: [email protected].

      Thank you for the answer. 
      Like I said, I did NOT want(ed) to say your mod caused the issue. I just wanted know, IF it could be.
      Except Mr Tidy and Mr Salvage, their are no build limits. Now, I know it. Thank again.
      I can build then many police bots.

      I made quick save but then played from another save so I must build robots again.

      I ALWAYS make a FULL save as soon as I arrive at new cities, or special areas. Then I save again AFTER I ended (special) quests.

      Okay.  I will investigate if you decide a problem is happening with this mod or one of my other mods.

      Good luck!  Have fun!!!

      So, after installing MORE mods (atm active 425+ plugins), I had to start new at least 3 NEW game starts, I tested your mod again in the same settlement area, built 5 police bots, talked to them all, made them to control the whole area. NO crash anymore. When I had the crash it must had to do with conflicting mods (wrong mod installation and plugins load order). But I think building more than 5 bots is the limit somehow in special areas, but I will continue to test your mods (all of the cute robots helpers).

      I forgot to tell you that what you did with plugins is very good idea. What I mean is you made always 2 plugins - one .ESP, one .ESL. I always use (if possible)  .ESL (or when it has ESL flagged ESP.) before I install mods. Otherwise, I were at my limits with 255 plugins and that's what I do not like. 

      Thumbs up for your CUTE robot helpers (who can also walk AND talk).

    Would it be possible to "upgrade" existing bots instead scrapping them or storing the lower grade versions?The materials needed would just be the extra parts above what was currently used for the previous model.

    Just a thought, not a serious request or anything.

    Thanks again for your amazing mods.

      I will add that idea to my list of things to consider when I am between projects and thinking about what to do next.  Thank you for offering a suggestion.

    I really like your settlement robot mods! I'm only sorry it took me so long to become aware of them.
    Police Bot and Repair Bot are especially indispensable for me!

    I also really appreciate the well written and fully informative description page for your mods. (You deserve a Kudos for that alone)

      Thank you for the very kind post. Much appreciated.

      Currently working on "Settlement Delivery Bot" to provide Mr Caravan and Mr Postman.

      How about a Mr Doctor following the provisioner? You could pay to be treated

      I prefer to not alter existing human supply-line provisioner groups. And ample healing opportunities already exist in the game; plus Mr Medic is available for settlement construction via "Settlement Medic Bot". Mr Caravan is a protectron supply-line provisioner when working, and a settlement defender when at leisure. Mr Postman will be diligently traveling assigned mail routes.

    This is a great mod and is still working as of Feb 2020. I have had zero issues with Mr Law, he does a great job of engaging attackers. He will stay really close to his pod so it is best if you put it close to enemy spawn points. I am using this mod as well as "Do Your Damn Job Codsworth" which is a Sanctuary Hills mod and there has not been any problems. I installed this at the same time as I did your "Mr Gardener" mod and feared I screwed up but everything went off without a hitch. My plan is to make a couple of robot only settlements and all your robot mods will be the foundation of that. Thank you Athelbras!

      No worries. I am excited about what comes next and like others, hopeful it has something to do with Mr Postman bot! Am theorizing robot provisioner....

      Heh ... well ... I *do* have a Mr Caravan (Settlement Caravan [provisioner] Bot) and a Mr Postman (Settlement Delivery Bot) which I completed several months ago, but they are unreleased because I am not sure they provide any real value or whether players would actually have any interest in using them at all.

      Mr Caravan seems a good idea. Delivery bot sounds really intriguing although delivering what? I just downloaded (haven't used it yet) the Salvage Beacons mod which seems very useful. If a bot could do that it would be brilliant. A provisioner bot that could be named (ie Sanctuary to Red Rocket etc) would add tons of value to the game, especially for those players who still don't have the DLC.

    Is it safe to update to the newest version and I'll be able to keep all my current Mr. Laws (police settlement bots) already placed?

      Yes, should be fine to simply upgrade ... but it is always wise, regardless of circumstances, to make and keep (at least for a little while) a new saved game from just before upgrading any mod or patch in case something does in fact go wrong.

      Well I have Version 1.4 so would you say its definitely worth it to upgrade. I'm playing on survival so I'lll have to extract the data and copy it somewhere safe . Your mod looks pretty stable to me though I don't think it would corrupt anything but you're right about being safe.

      I am not expecting problems. I especially tested the new version on existing saved games. This new version improves Mr Law's ability to find its way to enemies, and to also discontinue seeking a particular enemy if/when Mr Law can't figure out how to get there. There is also a fix for the issue of incorrectly marking settlers as being potential threats if/when they are "hostile" towards the Player's character but are currently peaceful; e.g. the inhabitants of Coventry when initially visited. So I think it is an upgrade-worthy enhancement.

      A saved game is created automatically when you exit the game while in survival mode. Simply copy that saved game, or the entire saved game folder (directory), elsewhere. If problems arise, copy things back again. That is what I do during development and testing. Saved games are in \Documents\My Games\Fallout4\Saves with .FOS as the extension.
