I figured it out, my game is just fucked, even though I am still friends with the institute and can do their quest the game thinks I have been thrown out
Does this companion have additional AI generated lines like some of your others? I really like the idea of having a gen 1/gen 2 synth companion outside of the grenades. I love these little companions you do. Have you thought about doing more expansive companions with questlines, romance options, etc?
For this line of companions, no. The point of this series is to have generic troopers as vanilla as possible so that they don't look out of place
However, I have thought about more expansive ones - the issue is that those take a lot of time, lets say (a totally made up time, but for illustration) if this takes 2 hours, then a companion which would comment on locations, have romance, quests, and so on would take a week. With AI generated voice lines it would be even more, as the intonation and emotions would be wrong half the time.
I love synths and robotics but not so much the Institute's morals and goals. Is there any chance we could hack him and adjust his allegiance so that our friendship with him might last longer than with the Institute? Being Institute technology I wouldn't even mind crazy requirements like max Robotics Expert, max Hacking and even something thematic like Close To Metal or Robot Sympathy. But I'd leave that up to you.
Hmm... That's not a bad idea actually. I'd imagine a holotape that would contain his recall code and would be conditioned by hacking could be quite lore-friendly for this.

Have you ever considered making a Gen 1 synth companion? I always liked those discount terminator looking guys.
Imo a mod like this should have been made in the first month of fallout 4's existence, but for some mysterious reason it wasnt for years.
A personal institute killer bot. Hell yes! Thank you!

My largest companion is for sure this one.
