Putting It All Together

Building Teleporter Guide

Attach wires:
Generator -> Generator -> Generator -> Generator -> Generator -> Console -> Relay Dish -> Beam Emitter
If you're worried about cable management, here's a clean setup :
(All the Generators) -> Power Pylon -> Console -> Relay Dish -> Beam Emitter
Sometimes when you adjust the setup, you will be unable to place the Stabilised Reflector Platform under the Beam Emitter. Try moving the Beam Emitter to an isolated spot, make sure that there is nothing underneath the Beam Emitter (eg. floors, rugs, etc.) store the reflector platform in the workshop then use the menu to place it underneath the beam emitter. You can then hold the place object button to move the Emitter and Platform together back to the desired spot.

Helping you guys28 Aug 2016 12:17
Guys, you need a total of 5 medium generators and one small generator. Small to power the control console, 4 medium to power the emitter, and one medium to power the satellite dish thing. All the generators should be linked together with a wire, then attached the rest of the stuff to that generator. Hope this helps.

Please help! Problem with "The Molecular Level" quest!28 Aug 2016 12:17
I had completed building and powering the Signal Interceptor, but the game will not register that I had powered the Molecular Beam Emitter or the Stabilized Reflector Platform. I have 5 medium generators and 1 small generator. Everything is connected with wire and everything is powered. The quest is gliched.

Final fix28 Aug 2016 12:17
Figured it out. Just store the beam emitter while the platform thing is still down underneath it and place the beam emitter back down on it. I was *****ing with this thing for a good two hours hope it works for you guys

Generator -> Generator -> Generator -> Generator -> Generator -> Console -> Relay Dish -> Beam Emitter >> store the beam emitter legs in warehouse then replace it and re-wire it, it should then power up again and say quest completed

Building it by yourself28 Aug 2016 12:17
I can't seem to find a way to build everything by myself. The components do not appear at the workshop unless I contact one of the factions, but I'm wondering if I do that, then travel to one of my settlements an build it there, would it still be tied to that faction?

Brotherhood of Steel.28 Aug 2016 12:17
I finished the entire structure and everything. It now tells me to speak with Elder Maxson who is locked away in the Warehouse that has an inaccessible terminal and two doors that you can't access. Anyone know a solution for PS4?

Best companion for Institute missions28 Aug 2016 12:17
Im guessing if I take someone who is associated with one of the factions I will need to choose them to assist me and I don't really want to do that so I was thinking mccready or piper but they aren't the best fighters!

Teleportation Glitch28 Aug 2016 12:17
I completely built the device with the minutemen and it works. But every time I step on the platform it teleports me underneath the institute and I fall endlessly and then die. Anyone help?

A biometric scanner and a military grade circuit can be found by going back to Virgils cave and shooting the turrets down easily, you're welcome.

Falling.28 Aug 2016 12:17
I'm doing this for the brotherhood and built it at the airport. Every time i enter the thing it'll take me to the institue however, there's no actual loading screen (the pic is there), I can move (sort of), there's no floor, walls are missing, items and people falling and I can still talk to people if I can reach them (everything that falls teleports back up then drops again).... This is reall starting to piss me off.

what you can do instead of doing the quest its self, you can install a mod called quest manipulation program and select The molecular level quest from the non-faction main quests tab and select complete. This should teleport you into the institute where you can continue the quest line from there. unfortunately if you are on xbox1 or ps4( maybe, I don't own one so I don't know if this applies) achievements will be disabled. I hope this helps.
