1. Color Customization - It`s extremely disappointing that we cannot set the color for each part of the robot. It`s almost as if Bethesda didn`t understand the concept of robot customization at all !

I really hope future patch does fix this.


2. Rust Devil attacks - My settlements are under constant attacks from Rust Devil.... I am actually getting tired of defending my settlements from them.. I wonder if this will slow down a bit once I fend them off for each settlement.

I wonder if I am the only one suffering from their constant attacks..



Other than that.. I am enjoying addition of new robots & increased new random encounters very much.

It was a pleasant surprise to hear Nick making various comments on the robots as well.

But the color customization part really needs to be improved...

We also need more voices. No protectron, Ms. Nanny and Mr. Handy voices..... why..

Found something interesting with the rust devils after playing through the DLC.

When you attack their HQ make sure to wipe them out, if you do not they will counter attack most of your settlements with in an ingame week. (I need to do more testing, but it seems that they are programmed to attack your settlements after you attack their base)

Also I am guessing the lack of mister handy or ms. nanny voices is cause you can get robots with them and they are unique robots.

Rust Devils + their robots are sieging my settlements too, i don't mind

I will visit their base one more time soon.


I also want to know if they respawn haha. It was really cool place to infiltrate.

First two I didn`t mind but... I defended them like 5-6 times already within 3 hours... lol

Might just be coincidence.

Random Encounters got much more interesting now since we can enjoy our robot provioners engaging other robots. lol

I would have liked the construction, police and medic Protectron livery.

Can kind of see how that would be a bit of pain to implement, but still its already there in the game!

I get no Rust Devil attacks at all. Just random encounters in the wild.

You might be correct on this.

Yeah.. apparently we have some kind of option to build construction protectron head but not much esle..

If they release a patch for the DLC. I am praying for the following:

1. Bug fixes obviously (There's some nasty little critters in the DLC I've encountered).

2. Voice options. I want Mr. Handy and Mr. Gutsy voices mostly. But a Robobrain voice would be nice to have since you don't get to fight many Robobrains in the DLC and it would be nice to hear their voice more and get to know their dialogue.

3. Eyebot companions via the Robot Workbench (not Eyebot scouts or enemies).

I really really wanted to make a robot with Ms. White voice & personality actually... lol


She reminds me of Rarity. lol

Totally agree.


I think these are some of reasons why Automatron DLC can feel incomplete.

We expected complete set of FO robot customization tools..

I wish we could "activate personality matrix" with the Assaultron and Sentry voices, I think they recorded the personality matrix lines for the new voices but only copy/pasted the Assaultron & Sentry from enemy audio files or something. Also, though this would be more work, it'd be cool if there was more than one programmable personality.

Also also, I second being able to individually paint every robot piece, mainly cause that would fit my Junk Techie character.

I have these two nits with the robot paint custimzations:

I would like to have 'pristine' paint jobs for the bots - you just assembled them, you think you would buff out the rust spots from the parts you used.

I would like to have faction paint and power armor custom paint jobs (I want my sentry - assultron hybrid to be identified as a Minute Man, Darn it)

Would have liked to have Mr Gutsy and Ms Nanny voices but oh well.

Can you use power armor paint or is it just the bland colors you get? I'd love shark and atom cat robots.

Cannot use power armor theme paints.


Just bland colors for whole unit are available.


People cannot even attempt to make some kind of Rainbow bot or N7 bot...

Can't stress how much I want the GECK then. Just another item to the list now.

So I know nothing about modding... And maybe this is the wrong place for it.

But I want to be able to animate all that extra power armor. Would that be possible in a mod?

Power armor paint jobs for the bots would be AWESOME! I'm slightly hopeful that we'll get additional schematics, parts, mods, etc. from Beth for this DLC, because that would be super fun.

I'm liking the Rust Devil attacks so far, as they're definitely challenging, what with their Succubus and Demon Assaultron heavies.

I am really hoping for legendary drop of those pieces... but so far none.
