Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop Bug Fixes

Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop Bug Fixes

Bethesda's latest Fallout 4 DLC is out and Contraptions Workshop brings some intetesting changes to settlements including armor racks, weapon racks, and more. Its also brought some annoying problems with it. 

Xbox One, PS4 and PC owners are complaining about a number of issues with the DLC and Bethesda recently acknowledged two major problems with the new add-on. Fortunately, the Fallout 4 1.5.4 update fixes them both. 

The developer says that its 1.5.4 update patches up two issues affecting weapon and armor racks. Users putting weapons on weapon racks recently noticed that the items lose legendary status and their mods. And users who scrap armor racks told the company that the gear on there vanishes after they get rid of the rack. 

The 1.5.4 change log states that:

- Fixed issue with weapons and armor losing mods and Legendary status when removed from armor and weapon racks (Contraptions)

That was fast.

    Sorry but Bethesda has hardly changed the base game at all from patch 1.02 to 1.04 and that is a fact. The main thing they have changed are the glitches that helped players & left in the buggy mess that is the settlement alert glitch that has been a pain since launch. You go to your pipboy to check settlement status see the alert sign of an unhappy population be it not enough beds, water, Defence or all the above so you fast travel to get there only to find that everything is fine even the alert disappears. Now that doesn’t sound like they’re doing a good job with these patches they are bestowing on us, all they are doing are taking out glitches that were helping players and making a frustrating but fun game even more frustrating

      The resources bug is extremely annoying to anyone who enjoys building settlements.

      The net is full of advice from various gamers on how to avoid the bug. I’ve tried everything they recommended. Nothing works.

      I sure hope Bethesda takes this bug seriously. My enjoyment of FO4 will be orders of magnitude better if I don’t have to rush to settlements whose resources have dropped off a cliff, only to find that they’re fine, and their happiness rating was plummeting for no good reason.

        If you’re talking about the glitch where it shows settlements with less food/beds/water/power/defense than it actually has, causing the happiness to go down. The best solution is to not fast travel from inside settlements. Just jog a little distance outside the settlement boundary before fast traveling away, you don’t have to go super far. Estimate100 feet . Ever since I started using that method, I’ve had no more issues

    Howdoes 1 person get to change the flow of the developers ? I enjoy Fallout4 even when it lags and glitches. The improvement in the game for me would be missions that ment upgrading some of the cars, bikes and trucks.

        Bethesda is without doubt one of, if not THE best of game studios. And I base that on 2 fallout and 2 elderscrolls titles. Try enjoying things intead of flaming with agression on an internet message board based on a source of entertainment. #GrowUp

        Nice spelling, moron. “Laging?” “Dont?” “Answear?” “Thire?” “Thire,” again? “Alittle?” I can’t tell if you’re four or if you have a mental issue. Go troll someone else and misspell “alittle” more, trashboat.

        Come on dude it’s time to grow up! Other people have opinions too and most of the time you might not like it but it’s just, THEIR opinion and it’s just as valid as yours. Some people may be of the opinion that your the idiot because of the way you chose to express your disagreement of Hopesavers comment. It’s a big world buddy and your no more “Precious or Valuable” than the rest of us. But this is all just my opinion. Some will agree, others will not and that’s ok. That’s just life.

    My gameplay has been just fine, I haven’t had any glitches, except for Trashcan Carla’s cow on the roof of my house. I have no idea how it got on the roof. There’s no stairs and it just stays up on the roof.

      It spawns in on the roof when the cell loads, for some reason

      I think that is kind of funny :D

      Some bugs bring laughter, some bring pain. Fallout 4 has most of the first ones in my experience.

    Sterwart Damian is completely right. No more duplicating shipments yet im still stuck defending the USS constitution like focus on the actual damn bugs

    If they could make a fix for the scribe and smiling larry to show up at assigned settlement that’d be a game changer. I’ve been practically begging for it but I guess I’m just SOL.

    • Cloney

      06/13/2016 at 2:21 am

      You do know people have already made mods that fix that and almost every other bug in the game, no point waiting on Bethesda to fix it.

    Seriously, unless you have new information about the update or its release then quit with the same exact news stories. You all say the exact same things and even word them just about the same. Isn’t that blatant plagiarism of some kind? You guys are ridiculous and worthless.

    I’m not sure if I’m even gonna pick the game back up to complete it until I see an announcement saying they’ve got rid of those GOD AWFUL Minuteman Radiant quest that you can’t just ignore.

    i F**KING HATE RADIANT QUESTS. Fallout 4 has so far been nowhere near as much fun as Fallout 3. And this is coming from a guy who never had a bad word to say about Bethesda. Hell, I’ve enjoyed ESO FAR MORE than Fallout 4 :-(

      04/30/2016 at 3:36 pm

      You know you don’t have to join the minutemen, right? I didn’t join them on my first playthrough so I had no idea why people were freaking out about them.

    • Jarrid

      05/02/2016 at 4:38 pm

      Really? ESO? Dude ESO cost way too much for it to be better than fallout 4. I’m not a die hard fanboy of fallout. I just like games that are like skyrim. And honestly it’s good to have bugs in games, yeah it sucks but you will live.

      Litteraly about 25 mods on nexus forums that fix that, not bethesda’s fault you can’t spend two minutes researching the things that bug the shit out of you.

    I have Fallout 4 on Xbox and I hope that they will take into consideration of the bug in the DLC Automatron. Where you take the, “Mechanist Device,” off the robobrain and it still says search the robobrain even though I already did. Has anybody found a way to get past that and continue the quests. Much appreciated. Thanks

    One of THE most bug-infested games I’ve ever played. The setting building mode was atrocious. Parts didn’t fit correctly, the the ‘snap connections’ were finicky. Instructions were terrible for connecting electrical components.

  23. Lee

    05/03/2016 at 8:36 pm

    My opinion is, even with the bugs and glitches that have been occurring since the game was released last year, I was so happy to find out fallout 4 had been made and was being released so soon after announcements, I expected a lot of problems with it. However the game is pretty amazing, and I’ve already lost hundreds of hours of my life playing it and have been happy to put up with the bugs, but it’s a bonus that Bethesda are actually trying to do what they can to make sure the game is as great and bug free as possible so I just appreciate that so far, for me, the game has passed my expectations, and I’m happy with that. That said, hurry up with the console mods! I’m excited yet impatient! Not long now though :)

    Bethesda , with its Skyrim and fallout 4 games..the ones I’ve played and still playing are some of the best games I’ve played. I enjoy fantasy as well as Sci fi , and I think they’ve done a really good job. Opinions very and all of us have a right to them.

    this is just a joke Bethesda ….. now ammo has weight . and the new action point bar ,, well now you have to drink, eat ,sleep and get rid of poison to repair the action points bar , see a doctor or make antibiotics and fast travel ,, not if your sick ,,, this will and is effecting game play… i hope i don’t have this issue when far harbor drops as its a PITA now ,, too much back n forth cant carry to much because of the ammo now has a weight to it ,, stupid patch Bethesda and a waist of time ,,,

      05/18/2016 at 7:02 am

      @evilstalker: You realize that your whole diatribe really only concerns one optional difficulty setting, right? You don’t have to play on Survival, and if you’re on PC, there are mods that mitigate the issue.

      Also… is WASTE of time, not WAIST. At your waist is where you should be wearing your pants.

    the biggest hassle here in 1.5 is that the ammo has weight WTF!

    • David

      Survival mode is more realistic. Ammunition has weight in real life. TIP: Only bring the ammo you need for a specific quest.

    People! No one is holding you hostage w a gun to your head saying “play! Deal w the bugs and like it or DIE”! So, that said, if you don’t like it, or in some cases hate it w a passion, here’s and idea, stop playing. I’m level 85 and still in love w the game on the one, bugs and all. The fact that Bethesda is ahead of the timeline, that they’re actually dedicated to fixing the issues, and have consistently been at the top of my favorite game list’s for 5 years, common. This isn’t about fallout, this is about your dad, maybe an uncle. Grow up. If you can’t handle a few bugs you are no gamer and need to find new hobbies

  37. Dark46x

    08/03/2016 at 3:08 pm

    What they really need to do is fix the happiness in settlements on fallout 4 for the Xbox one. That part has ruined the game.
