Forum:Mechanist´s Forge as player home?

Hi everyone,

I have a little question for you. Can I use the Mechanist´s Forge (Canterbury Commons) as a player home?

I would prefer it over the two other options.

You can use basicaly anywhere as your home, if there's a bed. Allthough you don't get any well-rested bonuses. Also it's good to have a few lockers to stash stuff. I used the Super Duper place as home for a while. Oh, and it's also a big plus if there's no respawning enemies where you intend to live. --KillerIsMe 08:17, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Yup... that is No. 1 on the "living-at-another-place-than-your-house"-list: No respawning enemies. At my first playthrough, I lived at Bethesda Ruins for a while... You can guess how that worked out. :) AngryNorwegianDude 08:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

I don't trust containers except the one's at Megaton House or Tenpenny Apartment. But there is a hut in the middle of nowhere nearby the the SatCom Array NN-03d which I want to use as a new house... but there ain't no map marker there, so I'll have to walk for 4 minutes from the satcom to get there, so it ain't worth it. :( Gabriel77cortez 12:46, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Well rested bonuses don't concern me, but which places are secure hideouts? Even if enemies don't respawn in certain places do items disappear? Let me know. Also if you rent a room from the Weatherly Hotel and store items in a container there you can keep the room indefinitely. Also try Lucky's Grocery(when Lucky is dead), Arlington House, Roboco (as long as the robots are freindly), Casey's Garage and that's all I can think of.kill the overseer! 08:29, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Quote:Even if enemies don't respawn in certain places do items disappear? Yes, items left on the ground outside disappear after a while (72 hrs?). Yes, there are containers that respawn. If you choose one to dump all your junk into, you'll come back later and find that your stuff is gone and there's a paperweight and some pre-war money inside. Be mindful when choosing your home, you can't go anywhere, throw your stuff around and leave just because there's a bed close by and it's convenient for fast travel. Well, actually you can, but there's no telling what will happen. Perj 16:14, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

So - do the containers in Mechanists Forge respawn? ^^ CHT 20:24, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

If it's a safe, it should be... safe. But I would test all of the lockers and metal boxes. You are free to place the rest of your loot willy nilly though. I believe all unique containers that could have treasure are safe.
