How do I make new power armor pieces
Basically I found suit of power armor but it's missing it's right leg entirely. Thing is I have no idea how to make a Right Leg Model A from scratch. It doesnt show up in the Power Armor work station because I can't even highligh the right leg. There is literally no armor on it at all. So I'm confused. Do I just have to luck out and from a right leg in the wasteland? Seems a bit off if thats what I have to do.

I know how to equip them and repair destroyed armor but this suit came without and armor on the right leg. So I am wanting to make some but no idea how.

That sucks. Surely bethesda would of thought about making a perk to build them. Wouldn't of been difficult. Better start looking then.

thing is PA are relics of the past and the manufacturing of PAs are almoast a lost art due to not having the rawmaterials and advanced foundries anymore.

the only faction that can make them is the Enclave who are more or less extinct because of an organization that decries that all your tech are belong to them

1. They literally blow apart when they break, so you can clearly re-forge them from scratch given the game's own way of explanation, whenever you repair your pieces.

2. The Brotherhood also has the ability to make suits. The BOS T60 is their design.

As much as this makes sense it doesn't explain how a man/woman who was frozen in time knows how to repair and upgrade power armor without any training. If you can repair them, surely you could make new part from scratch too?

yes repairing them is possible making brand new would be very difficult. the only steelmill i know of in the fallout verse thats operationg is in the pitt.

if we got back to FO3 the t45s was all they found in the capital wasteland and their war with the enclave would have netted them some APA or X01s as they are now called.

the T-60 is brand new to the series and claims to have been in existance before the war but going backwards in lore the T-51B was the superior version to ALL prewar PA.
the t-60 is bethesda ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ on the lore.

i would have understood it better if the T-60 model would have been a massively upgraded t-45 using the databanks from the anclave and lessons learned from the war using the t-45 thus being a postwar modell which they claim it isnt. moast likely a hiccup by the writers.

since apparantly the relic items in lore are now not so much of relics since apparantly they can be produced enmasse again.

well the husband is a war veteran thats come home and is going back to a civil life so that he knows how to maintain and operate one is not that hard to belive.

the wife however? well plot holes they didnt bother filling or just overlooked.
maybe she was part of the civil guard and got PA training from them?

You're not repairing them - Like I said, you're litterally molding new armour pieces for it whenever you repair it, since they've been blown off.

And again - The Brotherhood has no problem making new frames, or armour to go on top.

What plot hole? She was TRAINING to become a lawyer - Nothing saying she didn't have basic military training and met the husband during that time. The US were in a pretty bad shape at that point - Conflicts with china and so on. Not impossible at all to believe that others than veteran soldiers had basic training.

Wrong. The T-60 isn't created by BoS. T-60 was the last Power Armor model made by the U.S. Military. It entered Service after the Battle of Anchorage and was used alongside the T-51 models in the final days. Its not BoS created, also the Atom Cats do not belong to BoS yet they have T-60 armors which disproves your whole idea. You can even see that your statement is wrong in the intro as the guy in a Power Armor got a T-60 on him.

The BOS variant of it is... And they are making those by the dozen for their knights.

apparantly there is no issues with that anymore ive noticed to i would like to know how that is.
maybe they managed to not kill a few enclave techs that were working in the PA manufacturing department and forcebly recruited or drew out the knowledge from them.

but judging on how the armor animates when it breaks it seems like its welds breaking and thus it falls off (though i have yet to break a suit beyond the t-45

i am a stickler for lore in the sense i want to know how something has come to be
maybe the brotherhood made a return trip to the pit and seized the steel mill? i dont know i havent found anything that would suggest it but its a theory

regarding the wifes training.
the second line ''maybe she was part of a civil guard?'' i havent explicitly botherd finding out her past.

and the T-60 sure it might have been an unmentioned suit of armor lorewise untill now.
but the T-51B was the king untill the X01, so in that sense im not denying its posibilty for it to exist i just question how they balanced it into the game.
after all the Midwestern brotherhood even if noncannon has a diffrent design on the PA that they use then what we have seen in the other fallouts

Well to answer your question in another way, there are some pretty common raiders in the denser parts of the city that like to roam around in power armor. They'd be pretty easy to snag missing parts from.

What exactly is the difference between the BoS and the normal apart from a paintjob?
Tyrant Nov 18, 2015 @ 3:26am 
going through my statements i can understand if its a bit confusing so shortening it down and more to the point in accodance to how i understand it based on what ive read in fallout 1-4

protags
male Ex military moast likely to have PA training
female: nothing that stops her from reciving training from national/civilguard
but im moastly speculative about her.

PA
T-45 was the first succsesful

T-51 was the best Prewar model and other variation were worse then it in varous fields.
that allows the T-60 to exist

T-60 if it is a prewar modell it should be below the T-51 tierwise to adhere to the fallout lore

X01 the only PA beside Hellfire to be postwar produced, it surpasses the T-51 in all areas and only the enclave knew how to make it.
however following FO3 event its possible that BoS learned how to make/maintain them from Enclave databanks and interrogations

manufacturing
X01 is composite
T45/60 are steel The pitt would make maintaining these suits very easy with its steelmill
T-51B alloyed


diffrence between atomcat and BoS t-60 iirc its atomcat for agility BOS for str other then that i dont know

In Fallout 4 terms? Everything - Because all Power Armor frames are the same. It's the plating on top that makes all the difference. The Brotherhood makes their own plating, so it's all theirs.
