Ever wanted to build a badass sentry bot but you had to spend components just to build the base bot, and THEN strip away all the dumb components? Well, this might help you out a tad.

This is a simple tweak that makes the basic Automatron free to create. It also removes the default head and arms to make modding it into whatever abomination of post-apocalyptic mad science you want even easier.
Should be fully compatible with any mods that do not edit the base bot, including the Eyebot mod (which I personally use, and tested with my tweak) and the Securitron mod (which I heard was created by a pretty cool guy). If it's not, beat me over the head with a bug report so I can try to fix it.
To Install:
Make sure you have mods enabled. If you don't know how, well... find out. Google helps. Extract to <YourFalloutDirectory>/Data. Or you can use NMM. Enable in the Fallout Launcher or NMM.
