Hey I'm new here in the forums and I mainly joined to ask my following question-
I got Red and Shorty back to Big Town from the SM. now, i accidently pressed - 'Teach how to fix the robots' or something like that. Now, they told me the robots are at the Junk yard, I went over there, but I couldn't find anything that is related to robots. Could you tell me where to find it or give me an advice?
Thanks.

Welcome to the forums What platform are you playing on, and do you have a save from before re-entering Big Town and making that choice?

I made the same choice as you when I was playing on the 360 and the robots never appeared- I had to reload a save from before making that decision and choose another option. On PC there are console workarounds for this issue.

Uhm I'm playing on my PC, and sadly, I don't have a save before I made that choise. I'm only saving my game progresses using F5 and the Autosaves. While looking for the robot thingies I entered the houses in the town, so I'm pretty much screwed :'(.

On PC? That's good, because there is a http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Big_Trouble_in_Big_Town if you're willing to use the console, or you can also look at the Unofficial Fallout Patch, which fixes that quest, if I recall correctly, albeit not retroactively.

Edit: And I recommend not relying on Autosaves- make periodic hard saves, pretty please. You'll be glad you did in the long run. :wink_smile:

On the PC, entering the console and typing PRID 2d934, kill, resurrect, disable, enable, PRID 2c11b, kill, resurrect, disable, enable should restore the bots. If they fail to appear, you may need to enter one more command: "moveto player".

Excuse me but where am I supposed to enter to and where to type all of that? I'm sorry if I'm bugging you with these stupid questions, I just don't really know how to do that.

Console opens with the ` key in the top left of you keyboard. It's just a blinking cursor at the bottom left of your screen.

Type each line and hit enter

prid 2d934
kill
resurrect
disable
enable


and so on. After you type the first line there should be text at the top of the screen indicating which robot you are acting on. If it disappears, you may have to do the "prid" line again.

Thank you so much, I'll try it right now, And edit this comment saying whether it worked or not. You're the best

Worked like a charm, thanks again.
You were very helpful, and I'm sure I will stay active here on the forums, theres a lot of interesting things to read and share around here. =]

There is a protectron and a sentry bot in the junk yard inside Big town

Glad it's sorted now. Please remember to make hard saves more often.

That's a frequent issue I've had on my (unmoddable) PS3. Best to make sure the robots are in the junkyard before choosing this option. If they're not, choose another method, or just kill the invaders yourself.
