About this mod
Two simple batch files to either completely skip all Mechanist missions, or simply place the player, Ada, and the three holotapes at the elevator access terminal, where you can use them to bypass the entire Mechanist's Lair shoot-a-thon. WARNING - READ THE DETAILED DESCRIPTION COMPLETELY BEFORE RUNNING!

...series of cheating batch files for the terminally impatient among us, brings you:
There are two ways of using this cheat, either to completely bypass the entire Mechanist quest (run both scripts), or simply as a time saver once you've completed all the missions and are already inside RobCo and have used Ada to open the entrance doors (only run step2).
What do the scripts do?
mechanist-step1 - This will skip & complete ALL the missions upto placing you directly in the RobCo service center, where the mission Restoring Order will start. That means that characters like Ada, Jezabel and the Fort Hagen Satellite Array WILL NOT & WILL NEVER EXIST! Use step1 only if you don't care and just want to get into RobCo! Additional: this script can be used at any stage of mission progression, before or after meeting Ada/Jezebel etc'. I originally made this because the first mission Mechanical Menace would never even start for me, or if it did, there was no Ada, no caravan, or no fighting robots - just radio static!
mechanist-step2 - Once inside RobCo, run this batch to move you (and Ada if she exists) directly to the elevator terminal with all three tapes at your feet. Pickup the tapes, open the terminal and select "Initiate manual override", press enter once again (bug!), then R to load and listen to each
holo-tape in turn, (you don't have to listen all the way through and can eject each tape after a few seconds and insert the next) in order to unlock the elevator. If done properly, the elevator door will now open. Take the elevator down and surprise the Mechanist, allowing you to complete the mission with only friendly dialogue - if your charisma level is sufficient. If not, you will have to shoot Sparks & Isabel. Done - take the password from Isabel and take control of the Mechanist's Layer.
What do I do?
Simply download, unzip & drop these batch (.txt) files into your Fallout4 root folder, then open the console and type:
