When is the robotic drone supposed to be obtained?

[que]

I'm on day 24 and I really don't know when I'm going to be able to get it. I have many recipes for robotic drone mods, but I can't use them as I can't craft the robotic drone yet (nor have I found it looting).

Is it a late-late item? Is the 24th too early to get it? I was hype for getting the robotic drone, although I really don't know if it's a good one or not.

Got my first one as T5 mission trader reward.
late, I would say.

Might get one on day 20, might not get one until day 100.
It's all RNG.

Got mine on day 4 or 5 from the trader. Crappy quality 2- But obtained nonetheless. RNG is RNG

It's RNG, but a lot of it is based on loot stage too. You would probably see one fastest if you went to do trader quests in the wasteland with lucky goggles and increased lucky looter/daring adventurer.

Im 99% sure that trader rewards are fixed and not loot stage dependent.
Loot stage only works when we open something manually.

I was on day 43 before I found one at the trader. RNG sucks some times.

If this is influenced by Fallout, shouldn't we get one early on? Like maybe a crappy level 1 as a Tier one quest completion reward? Even a stripped down version with half the inventory spots?

[Dr.Chazzzzz]

got one after my group moved to the wasteland and loot stage jumped to over 200

The new alectric workshop crates and cars can have one but are ultra rare or find the book found a level 1 at some point and got a level 5 realy late from trader reward best tactic is to get the int skill so you can choose from more rewards at the trader.

Even so getting extra and better quest rewards provide more chance of hitting the RNG lottery. If you are gonna be in the wastelands hunting for loot, might as well be upgrading a trader to tier 5 too.

Got one on day 23 at searching a Villa.

It's all RNG. You could loot one early game or late game.

[Crashtian]

It's RNG. this is a crafting game, you think you can just make stuff?

[CrazedTrucker]

if you don't have one by now, probly need need to restart the map, hell might need to reinstall the game..who knows..

Found the bp for the drone on day 6, this time around. Making me switch to an int build to build it up, hehe.

I found the book in one of those electric shop trucks around Day 8 (but this was on two hour days, so 16 days if on 60min days I guess), in the Forest Biome.

As others said, just pure RNG.
