Lost Ada

[cybermatt08]

Please help. I am yet to get to the Mechanist In Restoring Order. I can’t go back far enough in save games to find her. I’ve checked the settlement with the Robot Workbench and nothing. I’m on ps4 and so I can’t use commands. Please help I’ve lost Ada.

Assuming she is your current Companion:

Find any other eligible Companion (eg Codsworth, Piper, they're easy to get), Talk to them, ask them to Accompany you, you will then get the "Send ADA to..." dialog. Pick a location and meet her there.

If she's not your current Companion, built a Vault Tec Population Management System terminal and install the NPC tracking quest from its menu.

Also if you lost her recently, she might be in the current cell, in a downed state after combat (needing a Robot Repair Kit). Leave the cell (travel to a different location) and you might get the "ADA has gone to..." popup message.

Cheers for that I’ll try it. Ada is not my current companion so I’ll try building something.

Nope she isn’t my current companion. As I said I sent her to County Crossing and she isn’t there. I can’t go back far enough on quick saves either.

You have DLC? vault 88 workshop lets you build a terminal that will track her down.

That's the VTPMS Terminal.

Try this: Go to County Crossing and build and ring the Bell that summons every Settler to you. Ada may be there but her graphics may have failed to render so she can be invisible.

I had this happen to me in Hangmans Alley with both Piper and Dogmeat. I never found Piper on that save but Dogmeat's barfing could be heard sometimes. He was invisible and rendered the next time i went to an indoor location. This was aslo on Ps4

IF you never dismissed ada to a settlement and something happened that did dismiss ada you will usually find ada back at the caravan site you first acquired ada.

Same goes for just hitting enter when dismissing a companion without selecting a new home location for them they will go back to their last home location this will be the last settlement they were dismissed to their original location if they were never given a new home when dismissed.

If in survival and they needed healed and that was not done in time the game will automatically dismiss them to their last home location.

Thanks guys. I was able to resolve this issue simply by sleeping at County Crossing. She then appeared in the area.
