Fallout Wastelander

Date 2275 August 18

*Ahhaauh*

"What time is it?" I asked aloud whilst I was rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.

"It is 6:12 AM, boss." Hauler answered.

"Oh, okay, thanks, Hauler."

"No problem, boss." Hauler said lastly while I began getting up to see what I was going to do today.

What needs to be done... Well, first off I should eat something and when I'm finished with breakfast, I think I'll work on getting turrets fabricated to increase the defenses here. And later on, I'll see where I'm gonna put my workout area, even though I won't have anything to put there for the moment seeing how I left my workout equipment back at Vault 101.

After planning out what tasks I was going to complete for the day, I got up and went to go get some breakfast. Which just ended up being the same thing I had last night, sadly, but that will hopefully be changing here soon enough as long as no surprises pop up.

Having spent 15 minutes eating breakfast, I finally got myself together and headed out of Hauler's cabin to the manufacturing area. The minute I arrived on the scene, I went over to the manufacturing machines and noticed my worker bots had repaired one of the machines fully and were part of the way done with a second one. 

Oh, there's even a new worker bot too, to boot, nice. That will definitely speed things up and from what I can see, it seems that each manufacturing machine can produce about 3 robots a day, which equates to about 1,095 robots a year for each machine. So not too bad as long as I can keep feeding enough resources into them. I could also improve their designs and make them more efficient, however, that can come later on since I think a total robot production capacity of 10,950 bots a year is sufficient for now.

As soon as I finished that thought, I used Mechu-deru on the freshly produced worker bot, gaining full control of it. With that taken care of, I strode to the automated manufacturing machines and had them start producing the assortment of parts that I'll need for the turrets. While the machines were manufacturing the parts I needed, I made my way to the workshop area nearby, that was relatively close to the manufacturing machines to begin fabricating several other parts that will be required for the turrets.

I should probably turn in that quest I completed for taking over this facility before I start producing the parts for the turrets, since I can use the gains from that quest to boost my Adeptus Mechanicus perk to further accelerate the rate at which the manufacturing machines are being repaired while I'm working. Although the repair effect will only work for the ones that are within range of the field of energy that I'll be emitting... Yeah, I'll go with that.

Several seconds later, I reached the workshop area. Thus, I opened my Pip-Boy freezing time like usual and right as time completely froze, a holographic screen popped into my view, displaying my stats. With the holographic screen open, I navigated to the quests section and turned in the quest Take Over The RobCo Facility, gaining the following rewards, the perk RobCo Certified, 5 points of science, and 5,120 xp.

Ding! New Perk
Ding! Level Up
Ding! New Quests

When the rewards were finished being distributed, I immediately went to the perk section to see what the RobCo Certified perk effects were.

| RobCo Certified | You're now RobCo certified. You now have knowledge of all things having to do with RobCo for example, all research, plans, robot designs, RobCo locations, and much more. Also, intelligence +2, science +10, and repair +10.

That's actually a pretty good perk and the bonus intelligence it gives should help with processing all the new information that will be driven into my head when time resumes. Plus, the two points of intelligence will give me one additional skill point for all my future level-ups.

Moving on from that, let me use the level up I just gained and after that, I'll check out the new quest.

From there, I turned in the pending level-up I had just received. A moment later, the holographic screen changed from displaying my stats to the perk selection screen, presenting no new options in the perk selection, unfortunately. Though there would be new options next level up.

Hmm, what to choose... There are quite a few perks that I would like to pick right now, but I think for the moment I'm going to go with Rad Resistance. Since I'm in a radioactive wasteland and some of the areas I want to go to have a pretty good probability of being hot. So going with this perk should help out with that, at least somewhat.

| Rad Resistance | Requirements Level 8, Endurance 5, Survival 40: +25% Radiation resistance.

After making sure that was the perk I wanted to go with, I selected the perk Rad Resistance and finalized my choice, changing the holographic screen once again with it now displaying the skill distribution menu with my recent skill improvements.

Yeah, that's some pretty decent progress right there, if I do say so myself.

Let's get these 25 skill points distributed into repair so I can accelerate the rate at which the manufacturing machines are being repaired by my energy field.

The instant I had all 25 points distributed into repair, I finalized my choice by changing the holographic screen one last time to my current stats.

One cursory look later.

Ohh, and would you look at that radiation resistance is at 69% percent now, nice.

Continuing on from that, I checked out the details of that new quest I just received a few moments ago.

Navigating over to the quests section, I looked for the new quest. After going through the list, I found it and was happily surprised to find that it was a relatively easy quest to complete, since most of the work can just be handled by my worker bots. That will certainly be increasing in numbers substantially in the next coming weeks. Meaning this quest will probably get completed in the next two months at most if not even sooner.

Done looking at the new quest I had just got, I gave my stats one last look over and exited out of my Pip-Boy, resuming time shortly thereafter.

Another chapter will be released later.

Shameless plug, I have a Patreon you can read ahead and support my work on. All tiers give you access to a certain number of chapters across all my works, with the highest tier giving you access to 20 chapters ahead of public releases. You can find the link for it in my bio or on discord.

If you're looking for something else to read, that's similar to this, check out my other webnovel Wasteland Conqueror. It has a lot more chapters released.
