Broken robot (autuomatron DLC)

[BELTBUCKLE23]

I've built a robot companion and I've been enjoying how overpowered I can make it. However I've reached a problem. The robot I've built has on many occasions just stopped working.

To be specific, the robot has full function except that it appears un-named and does not allow upgrade at the robo station. I don't know what caused this.

In the past, a fix would have been to revert to an older save. However the bug has come up again and saves where the bug isn't prominent are hours in the past.

I've tried moving it to different settlements, I've tried killing it and reverting back. Nothing works, it's just an empty shell of a robot. At this point I'm just gonna take it to a settlement with zero people and kill it. It's an eyesore. I think in the future I'll just stick with codsworth cuz he's a beast.

I found a fix. Dismissing the robot and re-enlisting them for some reason re-names them to "automaton" (despite it's previous name being Spike). It also allows them to be upgraded again.

I never bothered with those myself. You can upgrade Ada every which way. The thing I find annoying is when building a settlement of robots they all try to become your companion so you have to run away from them or be constantly caught in conversation.
