Role of GECK

[The Dutch Ghost]

I also recall that it was mentioned in Fallout 2 that Shady Sands was started with a GECK but I do not know who said it in-game.

Vault 13 received Vault City's second GECK which in return received a shipment of waterchips.

From what I remember, the GECK also contains holotapes for various functions, or at least it was mentioned it did in one of the manuals.

Essential information from the library of congress to be precise.

Incidentally, nicest looking town you'll probably ever see in the Fallout setting. When used by folks who actually know what they're doing, and are resourceful, the G.E.C.K. can be a wonderful thing.

I always liked that image. It looks a bit like cut up from the Star Wars.

Oh yeah, I remember now.

Well, I played the game once, that was enough for me. I didn't quite pick up the role of GECK in the plot. Why GECK and not the Water Chip (which makes more sense)?
I mean, this is just one of many things I feel are unexplained at all. But this is the only one I care about to ask here.

Is the same, could be the GECK or the water chip it wouldn't be any difference... the only role of the geck, is to put old fallout content and no make new things.

Its a damned shame Bethisda didn't know that you can use sunflowers to filter out radiation from water using hydroponics...

I read on the website that people are advised to ignore canonicity as Fallout 3 is in a world of its own. There are some links to the old games, but this is Bethisda's baby and not Interplay's.

The Garden of Eden Creation Kit was basically to re-create life in the wasteland. It's fertilizer and other agricultural elements, probably biological. I don't see the problem in thinking that parts of such pre-war technology would help purify water.

Please, elaborate! How would you go about achieving your goal using these elements, probably biological.

It would make more sense to me to use some modified Rad-Away, even if clearing isotopes (might be plausible) or the effect of radiation (less plausible) from an organism is completely different to clearing it from a fluid.

RBA can you really sue sunflowers to filter radiation??

You can use a number of things to filter radiation. Not sure if sunflowers are one of them. Mostly what you want to do is bind the radioactive elements or break them down. Soil works by binding them with the side effect that parts of it become slightly radioactive. So if you're running alot of water through the same soil then it's going to slowly become as dangerous as the water is/was.

Yeah that why they say to get in your basement if a nuke is coming and to shovel lots of dirt around your windows if the basement has any. It filters the fallout. Reminds me of that movie about a nuclear war in Kansas..... can't remember it though.
