- Fallout 4 offers many customization options for armor, including the power armor. Normal armor has 2 different mods to choose from, but vault jumpsuits have one. Power armor is different because you can mod each piece of the armor. You need high-rank Armorer perks for all armor and also Science for vault jumpsuits and power armor.
- Plan: Power armor stations is a plan in Fallout 76. Locations The plan can be obtained as a reward for completing the quest Miner Miracles., The plan is sold by vendor bot Phoenix and by MODUS production terminal., The Whitespring Resort: Sold by the Brotherhood vendor.
Easily the most exciting part of the Automatron DLC for Fallout 4 is the ability to build a new robot from scratch, with an absurd number of different combinations possible as you swap out heads, arms, legs, and torsos.
Linking crafting station inventory - posted in Fallout 4 Mod Requests: So, this is more of a question as opposed to a request: Is there a way, through the console, to link a placeatmed crafting stations inventory to the main workshop? Im asking because I placed the (imo) better looking Power Armor Station (0013BD08 in case youre wondering) in my garage, but when I tried using it I found that.
Before you can get to crafting your ideal 'bot, you must first complete the 'Mechanical Menace' quest and build a robot crafting station at any settlement (see our guide on getting started here).
While the crafting station is primarily for upgrading your new companion Ada or building a custom robot, you can also bring Codsworth or Curie to your crafting station and seriously modify them as well!
Getting New Robot Parts
Although there are multiple voices and paint jobs offered at the crafting station, only those standard base options are available with no additional mods to be discovered (although hopefully that changes with future DLC). There are loads of extra building options for every other part of the 'bot, however.
Unfortunately not all those robotic mods are available when you first build a crafting station. To earn more, you can pick up individual mods off the robots you destroy during the three main quests in Automatron. That's a slow and inefficient way to go about it though, as the mod drops seem to be fairly random.
After completing the 'Restoring Order' quest (either by killing the Mechanist or resolving the situation peacefully) you get ALL the mods at once, without any searching at all.
I recommend taking this route before spending too much time modding robots, as the Automatron DLC is quite short, and there are many mods you'll want to use that are hard to find in random loot drops.
Robot Part Types
There are five main robot types to choose from, with various body parts available for each type:
- Assaultron
- Protectron
- Mister Handy
- Robobrain
- Sentry Bot
After picking a specific type for a body part (such as an assaultron head, robobrain legs, etc.), don't forget to add armor for each location! Simply picking a new part doesn't add armor – you have to use additional materials to craft armor for every location.
Unlike the hero of Fallout 4, your robots aren't restricted to using one weapon at a time. By combining the assaultron head laser with one melee arm, one ranged arm, and two sentry shoulder launchers, its possible to create an absolute killing machine with a huge number of attacks that can clear out entire areas for you.
Below is a full listing of every single mod available for each body segment, along with a listing of what perk requirements must be met before you can build them.

- 3Armor modification
Characteristics
The crafting system has been extensively revamped from the one used previously in Fallout: New Vegas. Rather than taking pre-existing items and combining them, the player now relies on 31 resources to manufacture the items they want. Resources are acquired by taking junk items to a workbench and simply manufacturing the desired items. The game automatically breaks down junk and allows for storing unused junk in workshops for later use. While a list of in-game crafting recipes is available from the portal page, there is also a list of crafting recipes drawn directly from the game files.
Initially, weapons and armor cannot be crafted at workbenches, but can be extensively upgraded. However, with the Contraptions Workshopadd-on, certain weapons and armor can be manufactured using the appropriate builder.
All resources (and items) are shared between workbenches and crafting stations within a settlement,[1] and can be shared between settlements by establishing a supply line using the Local Leaderperk.[2] Unassigned settlers will automatically scavenge for resources,[3] and scavenge more when their level of happiness is elevated.[4]
Weapons and weapon modifications
In the base game alone, there are over 50 weapons and over 700 individual modifications that can be made at the weapons workbench, including different receivers, sights, barrels, stocks, magazines, grips and muzzles. Melee and unarmed weapons may be modified with different materials as well as attachments that pierce armor or cause bleeding damage.
However, unlike in Fallout: New Vegas, there is no ammunition crafting at first. An ammunition plant from the Contraptions Workshopadd-on is required to craft ammunition, but this is limited to conventional ammunition for firearms only.
Armor modification
A base layer of clothing can be worn under various armor pieces for the chest, right and left arms, and right and left legs, in addition to headgear. These armor pieces can be modified at any armor workbench to improve overall damage resistance, as well energy and radiation resistances, the armor's weight and visibility, and other miscellaneous bonuses. Additionally, certain clothing items can be modified with the ballistic weave modification, increasing their damage resistance.
Power armor modification
Furthermore, the helmets, chest pieces, arms and legs of power armor can be mixed and matched at a power armor station to customize the suits appearance, level of protection, weight, and statistic boosts. Additional upgrades can also be added for power armor that grant many other miscellaneous bonuses, such as enhanced unarmed damage, visual and targeting capabilities, sprinting and hauling capabilities, and even a jet pack.
Cooking
Cooking stations allow the Sole Survivor to create 'home-cooked' meals from the meat gathered from creatures, and plants from the wild or farms. This station also allows the production of vegetable starch, an adhesive.
Chemistry
Chemistry stations allow the Sole Survivor to create various chemical compounds, medicine, explosives, and syringerammunition. It can also be used to create cutting fluid, a source of oil. In subsequent add-ons, traps, medicinal sludge, fireworks, and other variants of ammunition can be created.
Settlement
Not only can one disassemble wasteland junk to find spare parts, but entire structures of a settlement can also be demolished to gain building materials like concrete, rubber, steel and wood in order to create walls, floors, roofs, stairs, and even prefabricated shacks at the workshop to expand a settlement. Within a building, beds, furniture, and containers can be made, in addition to wall decorations (like mounted animals) and various floor coverings. In addition, as time goes on and the settlement becomes more hospitable, people will begin to inhabit the settlement and various trade caravans will come through as traders. With ranks in Local Leader, stores can be erected and supply lines can even be established to connect two or more settlements.
When developing a settlement, a 'town bar' relays information about the town, measuring the number of people, how much food, water and power the town produces, how secure the town is, how many beds there are in town, and the general happiness of the settlement.
The settlement can be expanded by planting plots of crops and tapping into groundwater, as well as creating generators that can be used to power lights and other technologies. Terminals can be made to connect all of the objects on the power grid and control them all from one place. Some defensive technologies are powered by this power grid and are almost mandatory because a majority of settlements will be attacked by raiders, super mutants and Gunners at one time or another. These defenses include guard posts, conventional, laser, and missile turrets, as well as various traps.
Furthermore, every add-on added various elements to the settlement crafting system, such as new furniture or decorations; however, the Wasteland Workshop, Contraptions Workshop, and Vault-Tec Workshop add-ons were specifically geared to expanding workshop mode beyond these basic categories and added new categories of their own.
Robots
With the Automatronadd-on, the robot workbench allows one to create a myriad of robotic companions using modular parts. The Robotics Expert perk also becomes more useful given that several robotic modifications require more extensive knowledge of automatrons than others.
Contraptions
With the Contraptions Workshopadd-on various nonessential albeit amusing thingamajigs can be constructed, including ball tracks, armor and weapon racks, firework and firework launchers, and marquee signage.
Armor Crafting Station Fallout 4 Nuka
However, as discussed previously in this article, various builders can also be constructed to manufacture a wide variety of helpful goods, including weapons, ammunition, explosives, armor, clothing, and food. Conveyor belts can also be made to carry these junk items and resources to these builders.
Nuka-Cola blends
A background element of the Nuka-Worldadd-on is the ability to mix the nine variants of Nuka-Cola to create special blends that provide unique statistic boosts via the Nuka-Mixer station.

Behind the scenes
According to Todd Howard, the settlement crafting mechanic was at least partially inspired by the development team playing a lot of Minecraft.[5]
