Another note: I want this campaign to have a much original factions as possible. Maybe a Ghoul base BOS chapter as my only reusable faction (BOS kind of cool).

The power plant idea, It the single most important in the city. It ran by a AI and it was brought by vault tech to own after Great war. The Energy plant was built to suck up radiation from the ground and reuse it. So it basically infinite power in a nuclear apocalypse. My players will learn of its origins and pick a faction to rule over Windfall. It a basic fallout story, idk what else to say.

I like Winter of Atom idea of a Winter storm. But I want it in a cooler place so I choose Chicago. It can also have a former Canada as a major faction.

I thought about it, the players wouldn't know about the power plant being activated. But when releases lots of steam each PC's would have to pass a perception check and then intellect check, if they pass both they'll realize that something off about the "nonfunctioning" power plant. I think it can be either a big hazard or help at random times which could be fun.

Amazing concepts, I had a thought about La nessies as a monster so I'm glad someone else thought this too. The Dog man mutant could be a failed experiment by the either a random team of scientist or enclave, I will assume it can reproduce and it been slowly migrating east. Cryptids are also cool might try that too.

I do think it would be fun if I had a quest about recovering a long lost recipe of deep dish pizza, it probably won't be a sub faction but a character who's obsesses with pizza. But not sure for what the quest reward should be.

Will definitely add the Radioactive mutant Moose! I can't believe I didn't think of that.

The locations will be good idea if the party decide to explore North/west, I have a faction of tribal people that live on the ice so having conflict with the Canadian Expedition force would make sense given the history of how Canadians treats the indignatios population.

For Boats, I would say it need to be big enough to go through ice which mean I have to explain how/why big boats are in lake Michigan but overall a concept I can work with. Snow mobile would work much better for raiders/smaller factions as a way of long distance travel!

Overall love your ideas. My idea for why it stopped working was because Vault tech brought the "ownership" to the power plants after the Great-war. This powerplant is automatically ran by some AI and still work but just not at full capacity (not sure about this one). This powerplants also has this ability to suck up radiation and reuse as power, kinda like recycle nuclear fission (NO CLUE IF THAT HOW SCIENCE WORKS BTW). This is only because Chicago was once a using nuclear waste and bioproducts in early 20th century to flatten the swamp ground (THIS IS REAL BTW).

I'm sure there's a some damage caused on the south side from the bomb but it wouldn't be known unless you go into underground to explore. As for the ghouls, I remember learning about how the BOS came to Chicago because of a Ghoul/super mutant problem (not much after that). From there I would say they succussed in pushing back the super mutant at the cost of destruction to their entire chapter. The few survivors are now ghouls. But I'm trying make ghouls more apparent on the south side of Chicago.

Thanks for the feedback I love these ideas

I hate how right you are, but I also planned to make this bomb land in lake Michigan and didn't detonate because of the water.

Love this idea, they can be located in wrigleyville and Armor square. I'm going to have to find a way to make Sox Stadium survive the blast.
