Terminal not working with power cycle in vault 88

[-=Ðﮐ=- Dillenger69]

I've connected the bike to a terminal and the terminal to a generator and the terminal only says initializing... I can't get the programming for the power cycle to come up. Poor Clem's got nothing to do. Has anyone else had this problem?

Is this during or after the Vault 88 quests? Because i'm in the same boat, after completing the quest

im also in the same boat i cant even find the power cycle in my workshop

To find it: Go to Resources -> Vault.

If its after the Quest: You cant change anything. The experiment assign in the beginning are final..

I found a workaround. I opened the console and got the code for the "power cycle 1000 Prototype" which is not the one from the resource menu.
1. open console
2. help "power cycle" 4
3. player.placeatme 05004bf9 1
4. move the new cycle to right it
5. build a second cycle from the resource menu to get the quest to progress.
6. Wire everything up generator>terminal>bike>bike
7. choose experiment parameters

once that was done Clem got on the bike I built and it still exploded, progressing the quest.

edit: The whole thing happened because my prototype cycle in the "special" section disappeared. I probably could have deleted mods to figure it out but I didn't want to.

My terminal bugged out on the last test. I had to make a second terminal, and had to power the experiment first, then send a cable to the terminal from wall, then terminal to experiment.

this fix will be very useful for all the other tests for some reason i have none of them in my specials but i have the standard ones in my resources using this fix helped with soda fountain i used the complete quest cheat for the bike one and just found this so i can use this for all tests and not need to skip a quest-line just because there is a bug in the game that seems to mess vault-tec up

Or you could just kill the Overseer, which you can then loot her body for all the experiment parts (plans ) and be done with it. You will even get a achievement for it.

Tell yourself , she is a radiated, mutated sadistic person and needs to be taken out.

This is what I did to solve a issue with being stuck on the quest when she would not give me the option to continue to the next part.

the experiments other than the bike which i was unable to do because i didn't know of the fix at the time were fun a shame it needed a console command to complete guess you can't do the vault quests on survival because Bethesda made the dumb decision of locking you out of the console unless you use a mod to enable console commands

Yes you can on Survival by killing the Overseer and looting her body for the plans to all the experiments.

Not only does this get past the annoying quests for them, but it also frees up Clem so you can assign him to other stuff in your vault.

Legend, thank you!

You're probably using the incorrect terminal. Do not use the one named "Terminal".
You need to use the terminal that says it's for "Vault-Tec Poupulation Management".
Build a small genny first, hook that to the terminal, then terminal to bike.
The Power Cycle experiment will be the last one on the list.
