Mass Production
The final trophy/achievement in the Contraptions DLC is to build 100 items using any builders. There are ten different builders, each building something different. To access your builders, head into your Workshop Menu go to Power, then Manufacturing, then Machinery. The machines you can build from left to right are:
- Builder: Used to build basic objects.
- Armor Forge: Used to build armor.
- Weapon Forge: Used to build basic weapons.
- Auto-Loom: Used to create clothing (dress your settlement with style).
- Energy Weapon Forge: Just like its name implies, it creates energy weapons.
- Heavy Weapon Forge: Because you can never have too many missile launchers.
- Ammunition Plant: Crafts ammunition.
- Explosives Mill: Crafts different types of mines and grenades.
- Pyrotechnics Mill: Crafts firework shells. Some create very interesting effects.
- Food Processor: Creates different food items.
The easiest one of these machines to get the Mass Production trophy/achievement with is the Builder. To make your life easier you’ll want to build a Hopper as well, more specifically the Vacuum Hopper. It will auto load your builder with whatever it needs by pulling right from the container you place it next to. Set it up next to your Workshop Table and it will have unfettered access to all of your junk. Here’s what you’ll need for both machines:
Vacuum Hopper
- 10 Steel
- 6 Rubber
- 3 Gear
- 2 circuitry
Builder (The more you build the easier this will be. Below are the resources to build only one, but you’ll want to build at least two)
- 2 Circuitry
- 3 Gear
- 4 Rubber
- 10 Steel
You’ll also need some conveyor belts feeding into and out of your Builders. Why? Because if you set them both to build the same thing, they will build them, send them to one another, break them down, and then build them again. This creates a loop of resources and will speed up the entire process for you.
The last thing you’ll need is a Terminal on the same circuit as your Builders:
Terminal
- 2 Rubber
- 2 Copper
- 2 Circuitry
- 4 Aluminum
Now get it all powered up and you’re ready to begin. Use the terminal to select something really simple to build. Plastic Pumpkins use only 4 Plastic, Steel Balls use 5 Steel, and Kickballs use only 4 Rubber. Whichever you have the most of, just go nuts and create them. As the machines feed into each other, you’ll eventually hit the 100 things made mark, and your trophy/achievement will pop.
That’s all of the trophies/achievements for Fallout 4: Contraptions. They may have seemed convoluted, but not too difficult at all right?
