    Can we trust that Fusion Cores are actually using Fusion to generate power?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 01:07 PM PST

    It hit me a little while ago that Mass Fusion is the company that makes the notorious Fusion Cores, but they didn't actually achieve proper fusion until the 30th of july 2077 using the Beryllium agitator that we get our hands on in Fallout 4, and many of their "Fusion Generators" that they have set up in Boston are actually using plutonium to produce a fission reaction instead.

    They literally have a "Containment Shed" that they use for illegal dumping of radioactive waste from these not-fusion reactors, and they killed a "Hazardous Material Inspector" the day before the war becuase he caught wind of what they were actually doing at the shed:

    8/22 A hazardous material inspector stopped in today unannounced to check out our operation. I started to feel like he was getting suspicious of what has actually been going on around here. I told Mr. Feld and he said if the inspector started catching on we needed to get rid of him, and he didn't mean ask him to go away. Well, he caught on...so we had to get rid of him. If anyone finds out what we did they'll put me away for life...

    On top of this the Fusion Distrubution Boxes that they have installed in people hones all over Boston are literally lead shielded and still cause symptons that are consistent with radiation poisoning, this terminal entry can be found in the Mass Fusion Building in Fallout 4:

    "Many individuals assume that the fusion distribution box in their home may present a danger to its occupants. While the device gives off a trace amount of radiation, we can assure you that it's completely safe. If you're experiencing the following symptoms, we give you our word youIn-game spelling that they are in no way related to our Cleanpower technology: Nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fever, dizziness and disorientation, weakness, fatigue, hair loss, poor wound healing, low blood pressure, skin flaking or burns."

    The only references i can find to the Fusion Core and Power armor comes from the Fallout Bible, which we all know to be non-canon as confirmed by both Bethesda and Chris Avellone on separate occations

    This is the quote from the bible for those wondering:

    "2066 Summer Adding further insult to the Chinese-American relations, the first crude fusion cell is unveiled, one of the results of the Power Armor project. Devices designed for the fusion cell begin to be manufactured. Incorporating fusion power into the general US infrastructure begins, but the process is too slow to supply power to the regions that need it. Nearly thirteen years later, few sections of the United States were supplied with fusion power."

    This means that the only confirmed Fusion that was made in America are the Microfusion cells, and we have no idea who even invented them and or manufactured them, the MF breeder, the Institute reactor that they needed the Beryllium Agitator to get online, the reactor in the Mass Fusion Building where you find the agitator and the power system for Liberty Prime

    Or is there something i am missing?

    EDIT: The only thing i can't explain if Fusion cores are actually Fission Cores is where all of the nuclear waste goes. Could it be that the core has a separate chamber for the waste? We simply do not know.

    Provided veteran scribe level of scientific knowledge, would it be hard to create and upload new blueprints to Sierra Madre Vending Machine?

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:51 AM PST

    In this case the scribe being the one who completed Dead Money and has a few of those + good supply of chips to figure how it all works.

    I would like to know if a new blueprint could be uploaded for various items that could fit into the machine, like pip boys, sidearms, fusion cores, implants and other advanced technology.

    Bonus Question: What about making a new one that doesn't look retro and is industrial sized, capable of making robots, power armors, heavy weapons, and other big things.

    Thank you for your help and happy new year.

    Feral ghouls described in game

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 04:46 PM PST

    How are feral ghoul attacks described in game? Have they been told to rip apart corpses or eat them? Thinking they mostly just tear a dude apart then leave their body but idrk.

    A Few Thoughts on Pre-War Music

    Posted: 01 Jan 2021 07:20 PM PST

    To start off, music in Fallout is inherently confusing, as the majority of it featured in the 3D games is decades old, and would've been a century old by 2077, and yet it's seemingly exclusively listened to Pre-War with no apparent or stated motive.

    Fallout 76 has provided some details which both clarify and confuse things more; songs such as "Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" are cited as being older, indicating that it may be as old as we'd think, and there's also two songs specifically recorded for 76, a cover of Country Roads and Ring of Fire, the latter having a more "modern" sound than most of the music used in game.

    To go further, we have a setlist for a band playing on October 22nd in Appalachia which features both older music and newer. Granted, all of the music is "older" by 2077, but the point remains that we see reference to music recorded decades after "divergence" referenced, alongside the few tracks from New Vegas that were newer and recorded to sound older.

    There's a continuing puzzle as to why these songs are what we see pre-War, alongside modern music, which I hope gets solved eventually.

    Did all animals get mutated, or did some of them die completely?

    I've only played fo4 and fo76, but I was curious about horses, snakes, birds, etc.
