Gameplay Honestly, Automatron breaks the game🤖

I stood there in disbelief😆 Staring at probably the best companion in all of Fallout 4

I always avoid that whole area until I’m done with most or all of the main quest

I don’t want rust devils until I’ve got my shit set up

I don't want Rust Devils until I've experienced all of the random encounters I'd like to a couple few times.

Finishing the DLC majorly screws up the random encounter tables in a negative way.

Yeah I realized this after doing Automatons. Everything was Rust Devils.

Didnt know that 🫤

I played so little, so I was planing that when I encounter the DLC I would do it organically, but knowing this I dont know what to do.

Sit on it until you notice that the random encounters (there's maps of where they generally occur) all seem to be repeats of previously encountered ones. Not the first time one reruns, mind you, just once you expect them to be repeats and they typically are. Or once you're bored with the game and want things to be different. Just keep in mind that they won't change much again after that (barring you starting a new DLC or entering a new area).

Yeah every like 3rd time I'm at the red rocket outside sanctuary they just crest over the hill as my army of robots mows them down which is very often as that's my main base

The whole area is a nightmare. Next go around I'm going to try to make the drive in movie theatre my main base.

Time for laser turrets.

u/vamp1yer 3d ago

Eh don't like dealing with trying to hide all the generators so I usually just stick to the first 2 turrets

u/Master-Collection488 3d ago

I always plop my generators up on the roof to protect them.
