URGENT!!! ROBOT WORKBENCH DOES NOT WORK!!!

[jackiehuynh2419]

Hey everyone, could you guys help me in my situation? To describe my problem in short: after i build the robot workbench, i can neither BUILD an automatrons from scratch, nor MODIFY all custom automatrons and robot companions (Codsworth, Ada, Curie (not met her yet) and goes on.
To be specific, when i access the robot workbench, ALL of the categories of the robot parts are there, but the CONTENTS of the parts are empty, even when I had some robot parts available like assaultron torso, etc. Furthermore, the PAINT category shows ONLY THE HEAD PARTS. it bugged the heck out of me since Ada's questline REQUIRED to install the special mods, and that category is MISSING its content too.
i have tried many possible ways to fixed this myself, but yet none every worked. Hell, even i have to uninstall/reinstall and reset THE ENTIRE game. it still didn't work.
PLZ HELP GUYS!!!
P/S: also, plz check on my modlist, idk if my modlist does cause any bugs to the robot workbench. Thank you!

Silly question. Did you complete the quest yet? Or did you *just* get the workbench? Check your quest log.

As long as you have Automatron installed you can build a robot with a workbench prior to starting the Automatron quest chain. You are however limited only to protectron and other basic parts.

My guess would be some of those robot mods he has installed are messing with it.

[kdodds]

Oh, one other thing I noticed, you have some stuff that messes with the Settlement Menus in the Workbench. You may want to simply try SMM's menu repair tool. Worked for me with the Robot Work Station menus. But I had issues with a companion mod borking that whole questline too.

[=EGC= kansasterry]

DId you happen to install then remove a mod like Automatron Special Defense Assembly (ASDA) Module found at https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24487 that changed or replaced the content of the special menu. If so it could have removed the category from the workbench when it was removed from an existing game and with it installed we would be unable to install the quest required special mods.

This is urgent why, exactly?

some people do not have the patience to spend hours or days troubleshooting an issue.

it is urgent because he can not figure out which mod installed broke the game.

I aint even sure that load order is sorted. Especially with the AWKCR patch loading almost last?

[The Inept European]

Not just urgent, but block caps and all the exclamation marks urgent. Must be real urgent.

i used LOOT to sorted, but it cracked my game too much, so i set my list manually. The AWKCR patch, however, is due to cyclic rule that prevent me from moving them to the top list, which is why the patch was put last, so sorry about that

to be blunt, i spent weeks to figure the troubleshoot myself. posting this to get advice from you guys is official sign that i gave up fixing myself and have no idea how. thank you very much

no offense.

i reset my game twice, to be honest. first, i DID *just* get the workbench (too excited about this dlc, so yeah , my bad XD). second, i did build the workbench WHILE following a new threat questline, but it still got the bug like my first time.
and as for the SMM menu repair tool, where should i looked for them? nexus? because all i can find is some smm menu replacer.

i'll look into that, thanks

Settlement Menu manager
https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/24204

[kdodds]

Settle Menu Manager is on Nexus, yes. Read the mod page, it has all of the info you need.

[Taurc]

Ah, this issue.
According to my experiences, it should be because of the Servitron mod you have. Either:
1. You haven't uninstalled/installed the mod correctly
2. You just found another way to ♥♥♥♥ it up.
Still though, I haven't found a solution for this mishap so just stop panicking and restart your playthrough.

! EDIT !: Apparently the mod [https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/11459?tab=files&file_id=78878&nmm=1] has a Utility holotape which can revert the robot workbench's problems.

Your welcome.
