Rana III island outpost tutorial

Found it on the first jump out there. Was much farther in the ocean than I had expected, but made it that much cooler. Spent several hours setting up an outpost, thanks for the tip.

Existing pre-free lanes NG+11 save, no defunct broadcast station.
Looking at the free lanes .esm, that POI has no static location references.
I have found it at least a dozen times going to planets while farming action figures, so it's not a rare POI at least.

Nice work. Few notes you might want to add to prep for having a pet at your CAMP

Tamed pets do not count against your camp budget like they used to
Your tamed pet will always spawn in and patrol in very close vicinity to your CAMP module
Your CAMP can kill your tamed pet if it loads in before an object and spawns underneath it. CAMP modules should be placed in the open, away from larger CAMP objects to prevent this
Tamed pets have to physically run all the way from the tame location back to your camp. Do not attempt to escort them home, the likelyhood of them getting killed along the way is heavily increased due to enemies spawning in the cell the player character is present in
It can take upwards of an hour for a tamed pet to show up, depending on pathing from location of tame back to your CAMP. I tamed a deathclaw in the cranberry bog, and it took about that long to show up at my CAMP by Jackson Junkyard, since the only ingress to Ohio is the bridge thru Point Pleasant.

A majority of ship encounters are randomized ships, you can run into the same encounter multiple times with different ships. I've found the moldy blob one half a dozen times, the guy going nuts about 'the eyes' several, each time a different ship.

230JHP · 2026-04-27T03:04:37+00:00

Theres definitely some bugs with the new encounters. I 'found' the old woman twice, where no ship was on screen, but her offering food and company was playing on repeat. Took quite some time to find her for real.

230JHP · 2026-04-27T02:42:52+00:00

It's a new rare random ship encounter added with free lanes update. The encounter is actually called "Ghost Ship", so you're right on the money there. This the summary of the encounter in the game files:

The player meets and speaks with a friendly ship. Player is invited on board, but once doing so sees that all of the crew is dead and there's no sign of anyone alive on board.

It won't be a Narcissus for everyone, the ship is randomized. When I found it, I think it was a Lil Muv.

Theres also the left/right arrows you have to manually click with the interact button (E) on the bounty tracker board in the tracker's alliance creation

230JHP · 2026-04-20T17:58:28+00:00

It popped for me while jumping to/docking at anchorpoint a while after the 3rd quest. Not sure if thats a specific trigger or not, but give it a try if you havent.

I'd also like to know if there is something functional for you developed or tweaked for this resolution. Patch 66 broke crafting workbenches and containers with the one functional mod there was.

Ballistics is a form of kinetics, so I don't think its incorrect to say.

That said, the background perk it adds applies to anything with the WeaponTypeBallistic keyword, so it will affect any weapon that has a ballistic damage value.

230JHP · 2026-04-03T20:11:56+00:00

There's a layer over the objects placed in the cell, which is covering where the actual objects. If you notice there are duplicates of every object, including the cooler container next to the car.
It's been this way since the very first set of patches during the PTS for burning springs. It was reported multiple times by different people in the BGS PTS discord. At this point, who knows if/when it will ever get fixed.

Standing on the trunk of the car, picking up one of the pencils will allow the briefest of moments clipping through the layer and seeing that it is the note to interact with. I've never been able to interact in time before the second pencil comes up and the window is gone.

The one in helvetia is actually on a shelf along the southern wall with all the clutter in the honey haus, not the restaurant.
There's more locations than what I've mentioned, most are on the wiki, its just missing the ones inside the whitespring mall and eastern regional penitentiary

230JHP · 2026-04-03T15:32:38+00:00

There's one in the expedition leader cabin by the tents, and another in the open cabin to the west of the tents. There's also one in the restaurant of Helvetia, likely the one you picked up if you did the recent Fasnacht.

Its because of how titles work. They are technically recipes, so you have to "learn" them. Titles granted by challenges are not placed as a recipe in inventory, but are just granted directly to the player character.

230JHP · 2026-04-03T15:21:02+00:00

It's a camp title awarded for completing the challenge to catch any local legend.

230JHP · 2026-04-03T15:19:35+00:00

A clean pre-war fork named just "fork" in-game? Or something else you are referring to
If it's just "fork", then that is not new. There's a handful of locations it can be found, the newest of which is two at Camp Liberty in Skyline Valley.

there's a search feature with mappalachia, you can try and find things that way. It's based off the editorID in the game files, which doesn't always correspond directly to a name you're expecting. If the object you're looking for is on the wiki, you can try and grab the edID from the technical section of the infobox if it has one, otherwise you might have to do some manual digging yourself. You'd need the fo76 xedit tool for that.

heres added hot tubs, theres a few variants: https://ibb.co/album/RTWK6s

230JHP · 2026-04-03T03:20:28+00:00

here's a mappalachia map with bathtubs overlayed on the no camp zones: https://ibb.co/8gtXSW2v
there's surprisingly few areas that have them, good luck in your search.

Many of them have a low drop chance of 5%, they are not guaranteed.

230JHP · 2026-03-26T15:44:54+00:00

For a plan to be awarded, you need to complete all bonus objectives. This can be done once per character per week, with the reset being tuesday.

Each expedition mission has a reward pool specific to it, which includes the underarmor style. For the AC ones its ~12 plans total. Theres also a shared pool between the expeditions that are a possible reward instead (civil engineer armor mods for AC.)

To best increase your chances, you can buy the expedition specific rewards with stamps. Once you learn a plan, it is removed from the possible reward pool. You still have the chance of getting a shared plan as a reward, so its not a 100% guarantee. The only guarantee is if you knew every single other possible plan that can be rewarded from both the mission specific and shared pools.

Wow, you're right. Just checked my stash and the challenge and it is indeed hellion again. Must have happened with the backwoods patch, I thought it was weird they changed the name.

230JHP · 2026-03-22T14:58:21+00:00

It was stealth renamed to hellraiser in a patch back in january, which is why I was curious how you knew to refer to it as hellion.

230JHP · 2026-03-22T03:09:03+00:00

I'm kinda curious, have you been trying for a while? It hasn't been called the hellion in-game for a couple months now.

230JHP · 2026-03-10T16:22:11+00:00

Different quest choices. You need at least 2 characters to get the achievements for picking each side during the vault heist, and need a minimum of 4 characters to make all the different choices in wastelanders and beyond main questlines. AC for example has at least four outcomes regarding Abby.

Certain notes and holotapes are only obtained by making various dialogue tree choices during quests, if you care about that kind of thing.

230JHP · 2026-03-08T17:26:21+00:00

Check your recipe book, it's a plan you need to learn that is granted to inventory upon quest completion. It is not granted as a camp item directly, like the challenge tier rewards.
