I just ran into a Hoover dam caravan. Just wondering if anyone knows anything about them as i have never seen them before

[vedaras]

USA is not just west coast you know...

Oh crikey, are new locations getting added?

[Roachor]

lol as if that dam would hold together unmaintained for 150 years, then again vegas is the least likely place to survive any kind of disaster and its the setting for the next game. It's supposed to run out of water soon irl its already doomed.

[Lexx]

Yeah, because Fallout is the real life.


No new main locations will be added. The encounter is just for the ambiente. Await more in future.

I like having some science in my science fiction, I'm just saying an igloo has a better chance of surviving a nuclear war.

Are you the same guy that made a thread about realism? Anyway,I like the to see something new in the waste for a change.Looking forward to the next additions

[Roachor]

The realism thread was about people wanting fonline to be realistic, im not saying take it out because it's unrealistic, I'm saying in the real world it would never happen.

I may wrote 1 movie name ....Life after People (after 20 years nature will win)......

Hooowerdam still remain and live with 20 and more people 100-500 years......its much more than real,survivalist building in this world, im civil engineer.

P.S. If atom bomb dont hit .......

[BrunoAnso]

if you left the floodgates open on it, it'd survive indefinitely, its a big wall of cement! you'd have to hit it directly with a pentrating bomb to punch through, and interior would be completely defended from radiation

[Roachor]

The pressure from the water behind it would destroy it eventually, all dams are in need of constant repair. I doubt they would open it before the bombs dropped and flood a populated area just so a wall could remain. They covered it "Life after people"(history channel program). Then again within a hundred years there would be very little left of most buildings, a house will disappear in like 20 untended. Just look at Detroit.

um, but if you ran to the dam for shelter, treated it like a vault, surely you would just open the floodgates post-bombing on the principle that everyone down there is dead anyways, big surprise for anyone opening their vault later which is now under a few metres of radioactive material filled water.

You'd starve to death even if you managed to survive the blasts, as for vaults in the areas it would flood the water would be long gone once the vault opened. More likely the door would open to desert in every direction.



Note: Lol my own wiki link proved me wrong. hoover damn wouldn't collapse for 10 000 years? jesus.

[BrunoAnso]

the dam blocks a river bro, provided its source is fairly safe from the blasts (mountaintop) the water would still flow, the river would become a creek but it would exist.
