Chapter 59: A Productive Week

  Date Monday, September 6th, 2275

  Oer, as I was in the midst of eating, I began reviewing what me and my budding group had aplished in the past week.

  Once I get this meal down, I return to the endless grind and keep progressing towards my goals... I suppose I could take a day off, seeing how I've been going nonstop and gotten a shit ton done over this st week, but holy why bother doing that when I'm enjoying the process... Yeah, I'll take a hard pass on taking a break. I enjoy the fruits of my bor after I turhis shithole of a wastend into something civilized.

  Haviled that, let me take a quick look ba what I and my panions have achieved in these 7 days. As for where I should start off, I guess I'll go with my robots first. So those busy guys of mine have finished scrapping every si vehicle in the front parking lot, meaning I no longer have any resources ing in to repce the ohat are stantly being used by the various manufacturing maes and stru projects I have going on.

  Thankfully, it's not the end of the world, so I just reassighe Worker Bots from that pleted task to scrapping the many vehicles in the surrounding areas. And due to the nature of their new job, I sent them off with additional helpers in the way of many more Worker Bots and several Hualing Bots for transp the materials back to the facility.

  Aside from that, I also assigned a sizable escort to them that sisted of several Sentry Bots and Power Armor patible Assaultrons armed to the teeth with belts of MFC Grenades and a bination of heavy and le onry. All of that will ehe increasing amount of resources and materials they're harvesting each day make it back here without issue.

  And to really ehing goes awry, I had one of the Power Armor patible Assaultrons take a Fat Man mininuke uncher with a few mini nukes just in case they entered a Super Mutant Behemoth or something else just as dangerous. There isn't much that tank a round from one of those… At least of the creatures aies I'm aware of so they should be good.

  ...

  Moving on to other projects, my robots and I fihe produ of the arc furnaces and arc kilns ohird of September, so we're now ready to begin processing ores and limestone. Hopefully, we'll be starting that soon enough. It's not great being almost entirely reliant upon scrapping burned out rusted wrecks. Therefore, the sooner we branch out, the better.

  Not long after the pletion of that, the st of the power pnts were fully verted, freeing up a ton of workforce. All of which were assigo tunneling and mining for the purpose of linking up with the group that were slowly but surely making their way here from the metro, and to help out my robots that were reag ever o the resources that y in the earth below.

  Hmm, while I'm oopiining, I suppose I should cover that too. My roboti that were digging for resources finally hit limestohe other day. Hence, a portion of them have been busy mining, hauling, and processing what they pull out of the ground in the arc kilns into lime. While the rest of the group tinues expanding deeper and closer to the resource deposits that y further below. So by the time we finally hit the ore veih, I should have quite a rge stockpile of lime built up for ore refining and crete mix.

  Additionally, when my guys first began produg lime, I transferred a number of my retly produced Worker Bots to begin stru of some industrial-sized mixers. We weren't going to be p anything for the third underground level without them, thus it was imperative that they be built as soon as possible.

  Good thing my workers were both fast and effit, so they mao have it handled by the fifth of the month. And ohe boys fihat project, I had them initiate stru of the third underground level in preparation for the iniro rail expansion.

  Other than those tasks and projects ing to fruition, I added eight more Automated Capaanufacturing Maes to my litany of autonomous manufacturing maes, further increasing my total capaanufacturing capacity all the way to 1,000,000 a day. Oh, and I also got doimizing and making those upgrades to my robot manufacturing maes I'd been meaning to do yesterday, thereby doubling my robot produ capacity.

  That will certainly increase my progress quite substantially in the ing days.

  The project that was finished in this period was an Automated Bottle Cap Manufacturing Mae with a manufacturing output of 1,000,000 bottle caps per day. The pletion of that mae has now given me a reliable and plentiful supply of currency that I vert into gold and silver whenever I'm in need of it. Which is a stant situation I find myself in, since a number of manufacturing processes require those two valuable and sought after metals.

  I also look forward to the rise in value of both of those metals as civilization is restored here oh too. Not to mention it'll help bring me closer to pleting that unreasonable Such Wealth quest I'm sitting on. But even if that isn't enough to fulfill the objective, surely those Zetan motherships will when I get my hands on them...

  As for the final project, my group and I mao produe of my new robot designs I'd been cooking up and man was the new model, an absolute unit.

  | Goliath |Carry Capacity: 10,000Power: Fusion BreederValue: 1,500,000Robot Description: The Goliath is a t, heavily armored and armed jet bck bipedal robot. This monstrosity es equipped with heavy armaments that sist of two armored crushing hands that each possess their own built in psma fmers ied into the palms. As fearsome as those ons are, they aren't anything when pared to its primaries, which are a 6-barreled gatling ser and a 6-tube 40mm grenade uncher.

  On top of those ons, it also has a head ser simir to the RobCo Assaultron minus the charging aing issues of that particur model, two hive missile pods ied into its shoulders, and two shoulder-mounted ser turrets with advaargeting systems that will shoot down ining explosives. And when it's not having to deal with any ining explosives, they will fulfill their other role and turn their attention to whatever hostile forces it is fag to push out even more damage. The two ser turrets also fulfill the role of the robot's eyes if the head of the robot is disabled or destroyed.

  This robot is powered by fusion breeder teology aures a whole host of imaging and targeting upgrades pared to most other robots in the wastend. The servos are also specially desigo has siderable crushi of 10 tons at signifit speeds of 30 miles per hour, thereby making it a highly mobile aremely dangerous threat. Adding onto that, the robot's feet have been designed in such a way that they be quickly deployed to stabilize the robot and prevent it from falling over. As a side effect of that feature being added, the Goliath use its feet to crush whatever is within their grasp if its weight hasn't already dohe job. Designed by Harold Todd Woods.

  ...

  In addition to all of that shit being aplished, I spent nearly the ey of Friday moving basically all of the VSS Facility's loot over to the former RobCo Facility, otherwise known as my new home out here in the wastes. I should really e up with a name for this pce si doesn't really make much seo tinue calling this pce by its inal name... Maybe some other time.

  So with all of that loot moved over, we now have a ton more firepower on hand and should be more than capable of handling most ventional threats that could be thrown at this facility like super mutant attacks, for instance. Which we haven't had the joy of experieng up to this point, sadly, so ra exp for me. Where are Fallout 4's settlement attacks when you hem.

  Expanding further on that, with the VSS Facility's loot moved over, I ow start trying to plete the Anche Simutio via the Virtual Simution Pods I brought over. However, they still o get set up on the first level of the basement, along with their associated maery.

  Besides that, I've been hitting the gym hard and utilizing my training room every day, both of which have ed me det gains in my strength, perception, endurance, and agility S.P.E.C.I.A.L.s as well as several of my skills. tinuing on with the stats, my robots also acquired a good amount of exp for me from the creatures they dispatched whilst they were out and about scrapping the various rusted vehicles of the capital wastend.

  | Creatures Killed & EXP Gained |5 Albino Radscorpion 11,200 exp, 1 Deathcw 1,600 exp, 14 Giant Radscorpions 8,064 exp, 3 Giant Soldier Ants 960 exp, 17 Giant Worker Ants 2,720 exp, 21 Molerats 1,344 exp, 49 Radscorpions 7,840 exp, 1 Yao Guai 1,120 exp

  I think that about covers all that happehis past week, the only other thing of note besides those projects and tasks being pleted and the progress I've made with increasing my stats, is that I took a trip back to Vault 101 with Amata to visit both of our dads and trade some of the gold and silver I made with my perk Currency Maker.

  We also used the opportunity to grab other kinds of food that weren't shelf stable high-protein meals to stock up the dining area and our newly structed kit, that just finished stru along with the renovation of the rest of our living space. One only survive on MREs for so long before you get sick of them.

  In addition to the increase in meal variety, houl friends have ied nicely into their new living arras and appear to be enjoying their much improved lives here from what I tell.

  Having finished my little progress overview for what transpired in this st week, I tinued eating my incredibly early breakfast for the several minutes aually scarfed down the rest of it. The minute I was done, I got up and made my way downstairs to get my daily training and workout out of the way.

  ...

  Following several hours of hard strenuous training and w out ter, I exerted myself enough, so I called it there and proceeded to the men's locker room. The one I had my robots struct over this past week and hopped into one of the showers to rinse and yself off from my interaining and workout session.

  Shortly after that, I hopped out, got ged into a differe of clothes that I had stashed in my designated locker, and journeyed back upstairs via the elevator to my and Amata's room to wake her up. When the elevator arrived at the top floor, I strode out of it and sped off to our room and woke her up.

  "M, sleepyhead."

  "Good m, handsome."

  "How'd you sleep?"

  "I slept pretty well. What about you?" Amata responded, still uhe covers, with only her head poking out.

  "Same old, same old."

  Chatting with her for a few minutes longer, I mushed her into the bathroom to get ed up.

  As I waited for her to e out, I used Mechu-deru and took trol of the robots and turrets that were produced while I was sleeping and busy w out this m. Not too long after expanding my trol, she came out of the bathroom now freshened up.

  Following a bit of pying around, I decided I was going to prepare breakfast for the two of us in our retly added kit. However, before I could even begin, Amata decided otherwise and took oask of cooking breakfast. If she wao make me a meal, you weren't going to catch me pining, so I left her to it and took a seat at the ter nearby and kicked back whilst she made breakfast for the two of us.

  While I was chilling out at the ter, I sent my robots a and to set up the Virtual Simution Pods on the first level of the basement, along with its associated equipment and maery. So I get the Anche Simutio done sometime soon and have everyoart using them to train their bat skills.

  Ten minutes after giving my robots aask to do, Amata finished cooking up a sizable breakfast. And just as I was about to get up to assist her, she urged me to remaied while she brought everything over. So, being the smart guy that I was, I did as I was told and waited patiently as she set the dishes she prepared on the ter I was seated at.

  Whe the st of the dishes she whipped up on the ter, she took the seat directly o me and once she did; she made my pte for me just the way I like it before log her eyes on me, waiting for me to take a bite. Thus, with a whole assortment of very tasty-looking ptes of food in front of me calling my name, I took my fork and stuck it into the scrambled eggs, and put the fork full of lightly seasoned eggs into my mouth.

  If this weren't the fucked up wastend, I don't doubt she would've been a phenomenal chef or at least ran her very own successful restaurant or of them.

  "Your cooking is phenomenal as always, beautiful." I plimented her cooking, which resulted in a toothy smile making its way onto her face.

  From there, she and I bantered and made some small talk while we waited for the food to cool off a slight bit. When it was at a temperature that wouldn't burn her mouth, we dug in and devoured the scrumptious breakfast she cooked up for the two of us. We eventually fihe food she made and as soon as we did, we tinued our small talk from before, and after a couple of minutes of doing so, we arrived at the topic of what we were going to be doing today.

  "So, what's the pn for today?" Amata inquired.

  "Well, I already got my main training and workout in for the day, so I'll be w in my workshop getting those neon designs I came up with not that long ago crafted. As for how long that'll take me, I should be able to get all the parts made and assembled by lunchtime, I'm guessing."

  "What do you pn on doing today, Amata?"

  "There isn't really anything for me to dht now, since your robots are basically handling everything. So I'll just follow you to your workshop and give you a hand, just like we used to do back at Vault 101 before you left the vault aured off into the wastend." She answered, sounding quite happy and pleased because we were returning to what we were doing previously at Vault 101, which ending most of our time together.

  "Hmm, I suppose I'll have my partner in crime again for the foreseeable future." I responded jokingly.

  "That you will." Amata responded joyfully whilst leaning against my side.

  Following our retively short versation, I had my new Worker Bot niamed Mr. pick up all the dirty dishes, pans, and utensils and put them in the dishwasher to be ed, while I proceeded downstairs to the manufacturing area with Amata tched onto my right arm ready to get to work on making those neons designs. A short elevator ride and walk ter and we arrived at my workshop in the manufacturing area, where I immediately got busy fabrig the neons I designed a short while ago.

  ...

  This is pretty much it Fallout fht now. It'll get more releases either after I'm doog up on chapters for my Bordernds fic or if it ends up winning the monthly Patreon poll.

  Shameless plug, I have a Patreon you read ahead and support my work on. It gives you access to every chapter I have written across all my works, including those I've yet to release, and the ability to vote in monthly polls that will determine what I'll be w on for a portion of that month.

  If that sounds like something you'd be ied in, you find the link for it in my bio and on the discord server. Also, I run chapter annous through the discord, so if you want to know when the chapter is out, you find out there.

  Up to date on Fallout Wastender? Looking for something else to read? Then go chey other work, Wastend queror, it's pretty simir to this.
