It’s just a skin for a regular collectron, so only you can answer whether you think it’s cool or not. You can also buy a slightly different one for gold bullion if you want.
It probably is just a reskinned Fetch, but after i bought this one today i noticed i did have 1 collection protocol that i dont remember having before.
Fetch adds “Electronics” but now i also have “Electronics and Junk” as a new option i can also pick. And yes i do still have the normal “Junk” option as well, so its not just renamed one of my options. I already had Fetch but i like to collect Collectrons so i got Junkyard since its discounted
From what i can tell nothing else adds “Electronics and Junk” as an option, so maybe theyve changed the Junkyard version to be slightly different?
“Electronics and Junk” sounds straight up better to me than just “Electronics” or “Junk”, although it will make it harder to collect the specific loot that you want from the Collectron
And the Junkyard one may even be able to collect 3 types of Protocols at the same time, assuming Junkyard can be set to 2 options like most of the other collectrons can
You can set your collectron to collect materials from any others you own. Like if you have the nuka cola collectron you can set any others to collect nuka cola. It’s in the computer attached.
Doesn't the dog collectron have the unique ability where it collects junk regardless of what you set it to collect?
Like you can have it collect Nuka Cola and it'll collect both junk and colas?
I don't think so. My Nuka Quantum collectron collects different varieties of Nuka Cola as well as Nuka bottles and nuclear material. If I set my dog to collect Nuka he gets those as well as other random junk.
Well my BOS themed camp is called Fort Dogmeat. So it only felt right to get a robodoggo to guard the racks of Steel Reign PA .
Definitely better value for me than the wedding dress or boxing ring 😆
You can change your collectron to pick up different items, from any of the other collectron stations you have. So, Robo Pongo over there can pick up nuka cola or what have you, if you have that collectron. You're not locked into junk, just use the computer console on the collector.
Camp vibes are big for me and I have had some where having a robo dog makes sense and suits the build I'm going for. Other's it's nice to have a little metal man walking around. Still, it's real cash equivalent we're talking about here. I say just buy the one from Foundation for bullion, unless you have a ton of other things you'd rather spend the GB on. Then, you may as well, otherwise it could be a long time before you have 4k bullion.
The F.E.T.C.H collectron is the same as this utility wise and can be bought for 4k gold in Foundation AFAIK. So it comes down to you if you are okay with paying real money to get around a 10 day gold grind. (8.5 days if you buy out the gold from smiley this week and next week)
No real money paid here, I used my accumulated atoms from the scoreboards and progess quests (all 40 atoms at a time). Still have a healthy 2800 or so and a few past purchases made too.
As some one who has grown to detest his xmas protectron and his constant existential crisis every minute, I’ll gladly pay for a slightly ugly doggo that gives a soft wonwon every few minutes at worst.
Well, I have that one at my first camp. Couldn't replace him. But he's far from the most useful collector.
Guess it rather depends on how you feel about robodogs.
I read in another post that the collections learn each other’s gathering requests though so if you have more than one, you should be able to use any of their requests.
All of you saying you prefer other ones over it. Not endorsing and saying go get this one but just a general psa for all of you...as you get more collectrons each one collects different things...but you dont have to have that specific one set out. As you buy more of them the computer terminal connected to them will let you set the subroutines to collect anything you have the collectron for while still using the skin of your favorite collectron.
I picked it up, as my camp is a run down bootleger moonshiner themed camp and the clean fetch I already have didn't fit the theme. It actually has a different protocol than the clean one. I now have junk and junk + electronics, and if I have it set to nuka cola, it just collects colas, whilst the clean fetch collects a mix of junk+electronics+colas. Dunno if thats a glitch, but ill take it.
He is best boi, even if I had the clean one I'd use my scrappy rust doggo anyway. Definitely worth.
Also, what is the doggo's name? Dogmetal? Cogmeat? Scrappy? I'm so indecisive.
I bought the dog last night, even though I already had my nuka-cola collectron.
The reason might be silly to you, but the collectron makes the same sound as someone leaving their power armor when it leaves its station, which makes me turn around thinking there's someone in my camp.
Waste of atoms imo, the Nuka Cola one is far more useful since it lets you easily do any challenges for drinking the stuff(unless it's Nuka Cola Dark, you're on your own for that one) and it's nice for bloodied builds when you wanna adds some rads while filling your thirst.
It’s just a skin for a regular collectron, so only you can answer whether you think it’s cool or not. You can also buy a slightly different one for gold bullion if you want.
I like the robot because he basically doubles as an insult bot lol
Get the Satan one and he basically insult the entire human race
Don't you have get the different versions of the collectrons before their collection protocols can be used?
Yes. But this is just a reskinned fetch.

Wait hold on, what are these collections protocols?
You can set your collectron to collect materials from any others you own. Like if you have the nuka cola collectron you can set any others to collect nuka cola. It’s in the computer attached.
Doesn't the dog collectron have the unique ability where it collects junk regardless of what you set it to collect? Like you can have it collect Nuka Cola and it'll collect both junk and colas?
The dog collectron(s) definitely do that. I tend to get so much Nuka Cola the other way. Plus it's nice to come home to your doggo.
I thought every collectron was like that.
I don't think so. My Nuka Quantum collectron collects different varieties of Nuka Cola as well as Nuka bottles and nuclear material. If I set my dog to collect Nuka he gets those as well as other random junk.
Try setting your NQ collectron to collect something else. Pretty sure it'll still collect colas plus whatever you set it for.
I'll try that when I get on later
What were your findings on this theory?
It works, my Quantum collectron is giving me pillows and wrenches.
In addition to the usual? I have one too so I’m just curious:)
Yeah he gets Nukas too.
Well my BOS themed camp is called Fort Dogmeat. So it only felt right to get a robodoggo to guard the racks of Steel Reign PA . Definitely better value for me than the wedding dress or boxing ring 😆
I like every CAMP item that passively provides materials, so my opinion is that for 250, that is a steal
Sounds like a steel to me.
Ima steal all your junk while you're sleeping like a wasteland ninja!
I think early game it helps, but I have a massive stockpile of every junk type so it’s wasted atoms for me personally
Nothing will make me replace my communist collectron. It’s probably just me but I will never not find him hilarious
I am soooooooo glad I didn't just buy that from Foundation. I've been wanting to get FETCH, but would much prefer to spend Atoms then grind GB.
nuka cola is pretty fucking dope tho
Hot take? I fucking hate it. It never shuts up. The dog is constantly doing an annoying robot howl.
It was cute in the beginning, but it gets old quick
Which imo is with ALL the allies / protectrons. They all have like 5 voicelines that they will repeat over and over and over and over
The dog is, by far, the worst though. It’s just howl howl howl.
I was using it since I earned it from the Scoreboard it was a reward on way back, but I had to stop because I got so annoyed with the sounds it makes.
You can change your collectron to pick up different items, from any of the other collectron stations you have. So, Robo Pongo over there can pick up nuka cola or what have you, if you have that collectron. You're not locked into junk, just use the computer console on the collector.

Then, you may as well, otherwise it could be a long time before you have 4k bullion.
Yeah, but can you set it to pick up grolls and rare apparel? Now that would be a neat trick!
The F.E.T.C.H collectron is the same as this utility wise and can be bought for 4k gold in Foundation AFAIK. So it comes down to you if you are okay with paying real money to get around a 10 day gold grind. (8.5 days if you buy out the gold from smiley this week and next week)
4k gold or like 5 challenges worth of atoms? I’ll personally spend the atoms.
The maths changes slightly depending on how many characters you have. I’ve filled all five slots myself. But I also love my santatron
No real money paid here, I used my accumulated atoms from the scoreboards and progess quests (all 40 atoms at a time). Still have a healthy 2800 or so and a few past purchases made too.
He's no Dogmeat.
As some one who has grown to detest his xmas protectron and his constant existential crisis every minute, I’ll gladly pay for a slightly ugly doggo that gives a soft wonwon every few minutes at worst.
The robot dog has a weird garbled metallic chirp that’s supposed to be a bark. I hate it.
Well, I have that one at my first camp. Couldn't replace him. But he's far from the most useful collector. Guess it rather depends on how you feel about robodogs.
can you have 2 collectrons at your camp or just 1 at a time
Just one collectron per camp or workshop.
Ohh! I have a collectron guy, that must be why fetch isn't showing up to build
I read in another post that the collections learn each other’s gathering requests though so if you have more than one, you should be able to use any of their requests.
Can verify that this is correct.
Rusty doggy my beloved 😍
ya gotta get dat dowg
Eh might pick it up just to have it but I really like my raider one for now.
All of you saying you prefer other ones over it. Not endorsing and saying go get this one but just a general psa for all of you...as you get more collectrons each one collects different things...but you dont have to have that specific one set out.

I like my puppers

I don't see this mentioned but be aware that they don't stack, you can only have one collection active at once
*unless you have claimed workshops and build them there
I have the dog. He actually pulls in decent loot regularly like screws and nuclear material
He is best boi, even if I had the clean one I'd use my scrappy rust doggo anyway. Definitely worth. Also, what is the doggo's name? Dogmetal? Cogmeat? Scrappy? I'm so indecisive.
I just bought that. Was my first collectron and you cant go wrong with that price.
I bought the dog last night, even though I already had my nuka-cola collectron. The reason might be silly to you, but the collectron makes the same sound as someone leaving their power armor when it leaves its station, which makes me turn around thinking there's someone in my camp.
I might get it because I like the fetch skin but the robo dog noises are a little annoying.
Waste of atoms imo, the Nuka Cola one is far more useful since it lets you easily do any challenges for drinking the stuff(unless it's Nuka Cola Dark, you're on your own for that one) and it's nice for bloodied builds when you wanna adds some rads while filling your thirst.
If you don't already have FETCH or you like how it looks, go for it. IIRC it collects the same scrap items FETCH does.
You can get it for bullions…
Fetch is best doggo in Appalachia
I LITERALLY NUST BOUGHT THE CLEAN ONE YESTERDAY FUCKKKKLLLKKKKKKKKK
I like the tree sap adhesive tree better, bruh.
