Power armor station (Fallout 4)

The power armor station is a crafting station in Fallout 4. The Sole Survivor can use the station to attach, detach and repair armor mods from a power armor frame.

Using the station

 * Exit armor near, but not backed into, the station.
 * Broken segments are transferred to inventory however they will display in the list of segments when the station is in use.
 * Repairing a broken segment will increase its weight from 0 back to the full weight of the piece.
 * Use the "Equip" option to place an armor segment on a frame. Segments can come from any set of armor.
 * If the station is near a workbench, repairs and modifications will draw from the workbench inventory as well as player inventory. Freestanding stations will draw from the player's inventory alone.

Modifications
To apply a mod, the Sole Survivor needs the power armor parts, the required materials as well as the corresponding perks (Armorer, Science! and Blacksmith).

For all available power armor mods, see Fallout 4 armor mods.

Bugs

 * When the Sole Survivor uses power armor station and leaves, they will have additional carried weight equal to that of the weight of the heaviest power armor part (e.g If power armor left hand weighs 17.2 lbs, they will have additional 17.2 weight of carried items). It can be fixed easily by reequipping any part of clothing, though the permament solution doesn't exist.
 * NPCs have a chance to stop at a power armor station and plug a cable into a suit of armor as if they are wearing a Pip-Boy
 * Commanding a Companion and then hovering the crosshair over a power armor station will display "Sit Power Armor Station"
