In Fallout 4, you can obtain power armor frames (the base for the armor - not the workstation) in a few ways. The ones I know of are:
- Fixed/Quest related ones (such as the ones placed at vertibird crash sites)
- From vendors
- From pickpocketing fusion cores from armored enemies, causing them to step out of their frames
Are any of these sources renewable? If so, which ones?
If they are, I wouldn't feel so bad killing enemies rather than stealing their cores. I basically want to know if any of these sources respawn.
Best Answer
As far as I can tell, there's no limit. You'll find several in the game and can buy frames from certain merchants.
I've left several suits of armor at Sanctuary Hills and they've stayed there throughout the game.
You can also assign companions to wear Power Armor and they'll generally keep it on, even after you dismiss them.

How many power armor frames can you get in Fallout 4?
Locations. There are only two empty power armor frames available in the base game (all other frames have power armor pieces attached).Do power armor frames Respawn Fallout 4?
Actually I found respawning power armor at the federal ration bunker. Same- you just have to get to it quick before anyone notices you and/or kill the raider that's next to it. If they get in, you'll just get the pieces, but if you're fast enough you can get the frame too.How do I get more power armor frames?
Don't bother collecting multiple suits unless you want companions to use them. You will ultimately have just 2 or 3 suits you actually use yourself. One for questing, one for settlement building for the carry weight and one for amusement, flight or stealth style.How To Buy Unlimited Power Armor and Power Armor Frames - Fallout 4

Answer 2
Fixed Power Armor locations, such as at Vertibkrds do not respawn, nor do frames in merchant inventories. That said, even between these two sources alone, there are dozens of Power Armor frames around the wasteland - you won't run out.
Should you really feel you need more power armor, however, power armored enemies such as raiders, Brotherhood of Steel members, and others will respawn occasionally, and will also spawn during random encounters such as settlement raids as your game progresses. If you don't mind stealing fusion cores and searching the world a bit, there is a functionally unlimited supply of Power Armor to be had.
Answer 3
Are any of these sources renewable? If so, which ones?
In Lexington the raider on the bridge and the one at the top of the fire escape have respawned for me. If they can keep respawning again and again after you clear the area then you could keep stealing their frames as often as they respawn.
Answer 4
I have 36 power armor frames, 10 are from raiders and marked stolen. 21 are with full sets armor. Some raider armor respawns and can be stolen if you can get to it before the raiders are alerted and enter it. The rest are empty useable frames.
