The Hunt for every Secondary Location in Fallout 4


TheLawd

Recommended Posts

Hey there fellow Vault Dweller,

So it's currently the 14th of March, I have done over 20 twenty videos in the past 48 hours, I have just finished Zone 6, I'm dedicating a lot more time to this project over this month, in order to finally put every Secondary Location on Youtube, thanks for everyone's continued support! I hope you find these updates useful, the mains ones I'd like to point out would be the 3.06 (Ruined Brick Warehouse) because I love Nuka Cola Quantums, then there is 3.07 the Psychotats! There is also a Stealth boy that can be found at 4.01 as well as Ultra Jet which can be found in 6.38! http://static.zenimax.com/forums.bethsoft.com/public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png

Why am I doing this?

 

Answer - Well as you know Fallout 4 is extremely dense with locations and buildings that take hours to explore and loot fully, although that's just scratching the surface, these Secondary Locations aren't on the map, (as in with an icon), however there are loads of them! The want to do this stems from my pervious experience with New Vegas and Fallout 3, finding these hidden gems where always such a joy, in the middle of nowhere (bar Deathclaw island in New Vegas, though the armour was pretty handy).

Who's this For?

 

Answer - Well... anyone really, veterans who have sank hundreds of hours into the game so far appreciate my effort, all the way to people who have just stepped out of the Vault, it's all for fun, some of the places have a cool name and perhaps a nice item such as a easy Nuka Cola Quantum (1.17), Nuka Cherry (1.03), Cooking Stations (1.21), Safes (1.23), Terminals (1.30)!

What could you find at these locations?

 

I'll have admit some places have just ammo or meds, a nasty enemy or two, although with that said every location has a story, which is one of the main reasons I love to explore them! So yeah, thanks for reading this far! Below is a link to several of my episodes; be to sure tell us what you think!

Your diligence and tenacity are impressive.

I've found some of these in the course of wandering around and exploring, but probably considerably less than half of what you've listed.

Thanks for the effort, and the motivation to do some more exploring.

FYI, some of this might be set in more detail if you use the native world grid. It's too bad there's no programmatic interface (modders? has this been done?) but if you check FO4edit you can see the world cells are laid out in a three layer system.

 

Biggest layer is blocks, the 'world' is most of 4 blocks with (0,0) the NE quadrant, (-1,0) NW, (-1,-1) SW, (0,-1) Southeast quadrant. The intersection (SW corner of 0,0) seems to be the Institute, or the CIT ruins.

Next layer is sub-block, each block appears to split X and Y up 4 ways for a total of 16 sub-blocks, with the same longitude-latitude system (first num rises west to east, second rises south to north).

The smallest layer is a pure grid; each sub-block splits x and y 8 ways each for a total of 64 grid squares per sub-block

 

The smallest layer is the most interesting, because it's a consistent numbering system from -95 to 96 in X and Y, for the entire commonwealth space. 0,0 seems to be the institute again, but peeking at cell data shows unique data points for everything... Abernathy Farm (-20,21), Somerville Place (-9,-23), Spectacle Island (18,-16), Coastal Cottage (16,22), etc. I don't know what the true scale is, but it would seem like a single grid square would be about the size of the Taffington Boathouse area, maybe a little smaller... 100 meters? Maybe 125m using the split base of 8.

 

Need to figure out how to put an overlay over a 'satellite imaging' map of the commonwealth... handy not just for navigation, but immediately finding coded locations since this is the map system the game uses internally.

 

EDIT: Just on a whim checked the pip-boy map, and the pip-boy map grid square appears to match up with 4 native grid squares (2x2). Red Rocket is native -18,19, Starlight at native -10,14 (8sq east, 5sq south) is 4 pip squares east and a bit shy of three full pip squares south of Red Rocket.

 

And as a mind-blower, Commonwealth only takes up a tiny bit of the world space set aside for it... runs -25 to 25 in both directions from the 0,0 point (with a little extension to the SW), but the 'world' is -95 to 96 both ways, the 'roamable' area is a bit less than 10% if my math holds up.
