A Worldmap Home/ permanent location.

Riel88

First time out of the vault
Would it be possible to turn a random encounter in to a permanent location on the worldmap ?
It doesnt even have to pop up on the city name tag list, like some of the special encounters. (Cafe of dreams ?)

I am truly amazed at scenery of allot of the new random encounters, Pixote did a great job at breathing life into the wasteland.

But today there was more to it, on my way to vault city I got a random encounter with 7 or 8 radscorpions.
After the fight I just wanted to leave to the nearest exit grid but right before the grid I started to notice how big this area was & what was actually on it.

There was a small house, behind the house there was a little generator giving the small house its life.. energy.
Nearby were a couple brahim grazing on some patches of dirt close to a well.
Artifacts from the ancient world in the form of a truck & a car were also there, mayby at one time stull usable or just being used for old parts or decoration ... who knowes.

The whole property was being fenced & fortified by large sheetmetal plates and had a nice big entrance.

I wanted this to be my home, a place where I can drop off Cassidy so he can have a rest when his hart is acting up again.
While hes resting he can watch over the house & brahim using his sniper rifle.

The original owners were not there, mayby the scorpions were to much to handle for em or something else happenend..
I dont know, I just know they were in a rush because the left some valuable things behind.
If theyd been there I would have made them a generous offer for this property.
----------------------------

So, is it actually possible to transform a random encounter location into a permant location one could revisit ?
Im also thinking about those special caves that are full with powerfull humanoid critters using high end weaponry.
After the battle you could use those caves as hideouts for stashing loot in the lockers.

Im using double the item weight on almost all the items in game so this would be really nice.
More like how one would act during a time where carrying or stashing all your valuables in one place or on yourself is not always the best option.

Also, even a wanderer of the waste sometimes needs a place to call his own I guess.. & if a house is to much 'home' for him I guess those awesome nomadic tents ive seen in some encounters would do just fine !!

Bye !
& anybody's thoughts or feelings about this or home related subjects in the waste are really welcome.
Before this I always used some existing building as my home & I always wondered if someone else was doing this too.
 
The owners ran away after they heard the gun fire... :look: This is the map in question. Desert12.map. If Josan finishes his survival mod you will need to top up your water supply at every well you encounter, or potentially perish in the wastelands from thirst.

"you will need to top up your water supply at every well you encounter, or potentially perish in the wastelands from thirst"

Hell yeah ! This is the stuff im talking about ! I truly cant wait.

No gunfire, but the sound of broken bones made by Suliks powerhammer & my bigger frigger power fist.

(are you planning on adding some neutral people on some maps ?)

Btw Pixote, I actually really like all the storage pots you put on the maps.
Last year Ive been to the U.S for a shortterm & longterm survival education & while being out in the wild for longer periods of time one of the !most! important things you want and need is storage containers be it big or small.

So for me the the pots are a logical thing in a wasteland.

(and thank you for showing that image... I mean common ! just look at that pic.. doesnt that make you feel right at home )
 
Cool map! Holy crap where is this survival mod of which you speak? Lately I role play in games that are not as difficult as I wish.

Ex: I force myself to keep and buy drinks and food in Fallout 2 (and then drop them somewhere after a trip via the world map).
 
Hello, i love your idea :)

But following the topic ( i hope ) does anyone know ANY mod that add any type of location to use as base with lots of lockers or silmilare?

I know that you can use random lockers etc for storage, but ANY type of home would be great :)

And more RP oriented the better.
