# Fallout 414 This is a design document for a fallout based fork created on Robust Engine / Space Station 14 as a base. This fork will be headed by Peptide with the intent of removing a lot of the issues SS13 based forks encountered. The first step of that is basing the lore of the fork on a different area of fallout and not doing the same old rinse and repeat of Legion vs NCR. This should eliminate a lot of the inherited issues and allow us to focus on better and more unique factions, and steer away from the tired topics of slavery and the other typical legion associated roleplay. # Lore As the title suggests, this is fallout 4 set in space station 14, hence Fallout 414 (**F414**). As such the game will be set in 2287 or thereabouts, and set in the North East USA (Maybe not Boston but the Institute will be a relevant if not minor faction). This location allows us to play with both Fallout 3 and 4 as lore options. ## Gameplay Something to further set this apart from previous iterations of fallout in SS13 will be the use of game rules. Game rules and events in general allow us to interact with the round using conditions, such as player count, to alter how the round plays. In Fallout 414 this could play out almost like a gamemode would in SS14: - Low population? = Regular round, players make their own fun. - Mid population? = Fire a gamemode at round start. Think of Nuke Ops on SS14 but instead we take a portion of players proportional to the population and give them a unique role in the round such as a rare faction. - High population? = We fire a big gamemode which can even feature a new part of the map you "fast travel" to. We take a bigger portion of players and stick them in one or two factions in this new map and link it to the existing gamemap. This system of using game rules and events to add factions and maps to the game world allows for a much bigger experience that would feel disjointed on SS13 iterations. Once dynamic mode is available on SS14 this will further allow us to tailor individual events to affect the round. ## Factions As touched on, F414 will be set in the fallout 4 timeline and rough location. As such the following major and minor factions will make a feature:

SS14 Plumbing Design Document

Plumbing exists in a minor form in SS13

Introduction

Mapping for N14 is slightly different to mapping for SS14 / Upstream. The maps are all planet based for one, gameplay is totally different and you can expect to have areas tailored to low pop, while being sparse, interesting and expansive. In the long run we'll need a variety of maps so having a variety of people involved mapping together is key. Follow the mapping guide [insert guide] here if you'd like to use the mapping server to map together. Setting A post-apocalyptic world after nuclear disaster, based loosely on a popular game series. electronics pre-transistors (i.e. everything is big and has vacuum tubes) feel There is the Vault which is the fallout bunker, and the Wasteland which is the overwolrd outside the vault.

Mapping Checklist (content)

This checklist is a general guide on what content is required and what content is optional for a typical SS14 map. Small maps may not be able to fit optional content in so use this as a template only. This guide will stay as up to date as possible on what entities you should be including on your map. The new section at the top will show the newest content from around the last month so you don't need to check the whole guide when updating a map. Where necessary the entity ID will be in brackets where it differs greatly from the name. In most cases you can just search the name. Where a name has a suffix like [filled] this indicates a variant of that entity. What's New? Entity ID

Peptide Cargo (Points / Economy)

How to accumulate cargo points is a big question for SS14. In 13, typically you'd generate points slowly over time as well as getting a boost by calling the shuttle and sending back empty crates. This cargo idea follows on that idea in a few different ways. Station as a logistics hub The first idea is similar to that of SS13 in that when the cargo shuttle arrives, it may carry empty crates with orders in them to be fulfilled, as well as cargo from other destinations that needs to be sorted and sent on its way to its final destination. For example, the shuttle may arrive with 5 random crates as well as 5 manifests. Cargo must then organise the items in the crates to match the manifest, wrap the crate, and tag it with the correct destination before the shuttle is due to depart to earn points. You may also occasionally get nasties that arrive via cargo in this way such as mysterious organisms packed up tight (science might want to steal this and hope the sender doesn't realise and get antagonised...), viruses or just straight up stowaways and escaped animals.
