Terra Tec droids are robots in Fallout: New California. They were a type of specialized mining protectron constructed by Terra-Tec to expand and complete Vault 18.
Background[]
Terra-Tec droids, in truth just modified RobCo protectrons, were used in the construction process of Vault 18, programmed to automatically mine out prefab rooms for expansion of the vault. During the Great War, all of Terra-Tec's factories in LA were annihilated, preventing the construction of more droids but despite the company's annihilation, the droids in Vault 18 continued to carve out new expansions until eventually breaking down. However, having long run out of necessary supplies for the prefabs, they have hewed many of the rooms out of the bare rock.
Interactions with the player character[]
Terra-Tec droids can be noted by their yellowish, heavily worn appearance compared to the blue security protectrons in Vault 18. No working Terra-Tec droids can be encountered in Vault 18 by the Star Player, however, several broken-down droids can be found in the Lower Cistern and Robotics Lab.
Variants[]
Broken Terra-Tec droid[]
Appears identical to a regular protectron, but is no longer operable.

A single non-broken Terra-Tec droid can be found within the Athens-Tec Mine abyss.
