Primary Bug Report Exploit - Infinite resources from Robco Backyard Robotics magazine

[Dyvrik]

If you drop the RoboCo Backyard Robotic Issue #1 and pick it back up, it always gives you the materials for a beacon not just the first time.

Every time you pick up the magazine, including placing it in a container and pulling it out again immediately, you receive some circuitry, crystal, copper, rubber, and ceramic. Should probably be set to only do that once.

So I found a bug where if i take the magazine out of the workshop inventory and i am still in the inventory screen, the materials that are required to make the settlement beacon is given to me every time I transfer the magazine into my inventory

Puting the "Robco Backyard Robotics Issue #1" into a workbench, then taking it again gives you the same materials again. This is repeatable.


For debugging purposes, this was done with the transfer menu, on the weapons bench in Sanctuary.

I noticed this bug as well and it seems that it is gone as of version M because the magazine is no longer in the inventory. I was just getting used to exploiting it too.
