How to workaround the Automaton unable to install the radar beacon bug?
I am stuck on the Automaton quest line "A new threat" as I cannot install the radar beacon on Ada. There seems to be a bug if you build the robotic workbench directly after meeting Ada. I can only upgrade her legs.
As I am on PC, I tried looking for a workaround using console commands.
I found possible approach to reset the questline via:
GetStage 01000801
completeallobjectives 01000801
CompleteQuest 01000801
and to start the Headhunter questline via:
ShowQuestStages 01002833
SetStage 01002833 150
Yet it seeems that the quest ids do not work for me as the GetStage command only yields in Item '01000801' not found for parameter quest.
How to proceed the quest line using the console? I know that I can resort to a save, yet I rather not lose my current progress I made in between the Automaton quests.

If you encounter the glitch where you can't access Ada's parts, when you just see the legs in Workbench, you need to the console and choose Ada with a pointer and run recycleactor.

How do you fix the ADA in Fallout 4?
A possible fix is to shoot Ada until she is crippled. Ada can be commanded to pick up an infinite amount of items using the command action thus making her carrying capacity unlimited. When commanded to hack a terminal she won't acknowledge the command and continue to behave as if it was never given.Where is the radar beacon Fallout 4?
