Stolen Power Armor

[LKnives]

My power armor was stolen from my settlement, and yes I know: You don't leave the core in it unattended, sorry for thinking that a base with x3 the defense as food+water with a wall around it couldn't prevent raiders from ninja-ing in and stealing it.

My game shows the power helmet icon next to Greentech Genetics but after killing everyone inside and around the little raider camp outside of the building I haven't actually found the power armor suit. So my question is: Is the armor retrievable and I am just not seeing at the location or is the icon a bug and I'm not supposed to be able to retrieve?

Wow, I would be livid if a raider had taken my power armor. lol. I'd be round their houses like a shot!
Actually thanks for the reminder to remove fusion cores. I do that for all the armor I'm upgrading but usually forget to remove it from my own personal armor.

(Sorry, I realise my answer wasn't too helpful as I don't know the answer! lol)

I was more upset before I butchered everyone at Greentech Genetics and the Raider camp.

My assumption is that this is a bug and the armor isn't intended to be retreivable and honestly, that's not what I am upset at as I have 6 empty Power Armor frames at The Castle and 3 T-60s, 1 Raider II, 1 T-45, and 1 T-51 (Faction paint job display). The annoyance is that I was lead on what I know to believe a fruitless effort to retreive it.

they can take it even if there is no core in it, although more rare

you could down load the 'lootable power frame' mod. so you wouldn't lose the frame because an NPC stole it. which is absurd. i wish people who made games would play test them to make sure annoyances like this weren't a thing.

its not happened to me but i can imagine just how annoyed i'd be with it if it did.

As for where the armor is, it should be near the helmet icon so if i were you i would go back and have another look and you could try using the TCL console comand to fly around and see if there are places you have missed.

[LKnives]

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that. I did TCL around the icon and didn't see it, I did however find out that under one of the buildings was a bubble of water.

It's meant to be an annoyance really. If you can catch the guy who stole the armor, you can get back the actual armor, but the frame is SOL... unless you have a mod for it. I think it adds a level of immersion to the game, but not a very good one seeing how many suits there are out there, and the fact that two different vendors sell power armor frames.

It's not yours. you just happened to be the last one using it. since its quite durable and lasts forever, power armor tends to get around.

Not true, If you pickpocket the fusion core the person will exit the armor then you just shoot them and get your armor back. I have stolen every set of power armor the Brotherhood has as well as every raider using the same method, After you steal it use setownership in the console and it yours.

[LKnives]

Yeah, the real problem is I can't find who has it near the icon. I've killed everyone and no one had X-01 pieces nor do I recall fighting someone wearing X-01 armor. (It was fully upgraded, that sounds like a pretty tough fight)

I'm scouting the area right now with the tlc cheat. As far as I can tell it must be a bug. No one here is wearing a power armor nor there's a frame anywhere near the marker.

Maybe try waiting in the area for 6-12-24 hours and see if they show up?
