Question about service bots?

[Dak]

I've been seeing a lot of videos for nms for cool items and the video usually says something about a service bot. What is that and what is the purpose of it? Thanks in advance. I guess if you've used one can you tell me your experience?

The only thing that comes to mind is there are two or three mechanical companions you can have. There is Laylaps, good sentinel. There is a robot dog sentinel. I want to say there is one more but I dislike the companions in general...always getting in the way and only provide co-worker type gifts...stuff you really don't need or maybe not even want.

I guess if you like the pets/companions your take may be more pleased. Had a T-Rex style critter for awhile. Really fast for riding on, but you really can't scan or do much while you ride. Got annoying when everywhere I explored there were dead critters all around me. The dino liked to kill things way too much for my liking.

Outside of the Mech AI, none of them are useful. They don't help in a fight and usually get in the way. That is kind of the same story for all the support you can get in the game. Big on cosmetic value, zero on usefulness.

It ain't really worth it if you want to recuperate rewards for past expeditions.
You might as well enjoy doing them offline.

That's the first I've ever heard of that project. (I don't watch very many game YouTube videos).

Definitely adding it to my bookmarks. Such a novel idea and pretty brilliant the way he has it setup to work.
