No robots appear Mechanical Menace

[RinVindor]

So yeah as it says, no one is there when I show up. Instead of waiting for a patch for something so broken I just used console commands to finish the quest since it was only killing some robots. Well it seems without the base id of Ada the robot I can't continue this DLC so I'm pretty damn annoyed. Especially since the base id listed on the wiki doesn't seem to be real because it isn't working, while I can spawn anything and anyone else I want.

Console commands will not progress you through this quest either. After trying several things for about 4 hours I reloaded an old save to get the DLC to work properly and everything spawned in. Still leaving my rating where it stands until its patch. After progressing through the DLC is short but it is fun building and designing your own robots.

I had the same bug. After a few bit of loading old saves, I managed to get to the fight.
You can actually load an old save (mine was more then 10 hours of in-game time earlier), activate the fight, then load a more recent save, and go back to the crossroads, then the fight should appeat.
Worked for me, don't know if it will for you, but worth a try.

I had to go back a similar amount of time, I had figured it out myself through trial and error. I'm leaving my rating where its at until they address that in a patch. Spending 4 hours trying to get some DLC to even begin isn't really appropriate.

I have a better solution that doesn't require you to loose ALOT of gametime. My problem was that I did not get any distress call. Read somewhere that typing: coc wattzext01 into the console would fix it, and it did! It teleported me to Watts Consumer Electronics, where the robots were fighting! Only thing is that you don't get to hear the distress call. Hope that helps ;)

If you are in the cell where the quest starts that will cause this issue.

<_< I made this post over a month ago... I mean I appreciate the help but I just said screw it and started a whole new file. An playing through the DLC that way, the ending still bugged so I just gave up.

I beta tested it with no issues at all.

I found the beta more stable than the full release

I haven't started a new playthrough so the beta is the only version I have played.

Anyone figured this out yet I'd rather not back up to an old save as my only saves before the bug occoring are about 4 hours back and I'd rather not waste my time replaying all the ♥♥♥♥ over

[RinVindor]

I'm pretty sure I ended up starting over.

You guys consider deleting and reinstalling the dlc? Worked for me. I know I'm a tad bit late.

hey what's a few years among friends

I did I remember that not working. I think I used the console to force the first quest to finish
