The weather thing was already done in the game. The big cloud over the Sierra Madre was an attempt by the Think Tank to mess with the weather. Same goes for the storms over the Divide from Lonesome Road. Both are results of the Think Tank from Big MT trying to mess with the weather for the pre-war government. I think the Enclave even had some research terminals looking into it.

A quest around cracking a number stations code could also have some moral questions for the player, for example a transmission stated that there will be a large attack in a settlement, should I intervene and risk the enemy changing their code meaning I'd have to crack the code again, or should I wait, possibly sacrificing the settlement, but later find out the location of the faction leader or a large supply dropoff.

There is a mod for Fallout 4 that is called Her, The Machine and I. It is about a young lady who was taken from an asylum, and her mind was assimilated into a machine, and she was marketed as an assistant that was accessible from a radio that you purchased. She was designed to listen in for people speaking treason or Chinese or both, and later you discover that the "radio" that you bring into your home or car or both, can also be used to emit sonic waves that incapacitate those people in a small area. So, the numbers station idea is sound, but with advancements in Robobrain technology the government needed a way to listen in on everyone and filter through the chatter. Due to delays, the system went online too late and there were Chinese spies already in operation in CONUS. The mod is excellent and very well voiced.

The bit about the numbers station reminds me of the classical music the Institute used in FO4 to communicate. That said, I think it would be neat to find what appears to be a pre-war broadcast station, only to have it abruptly make a reference to something contemporary to the setting. Like, have a coded message that refers to an address in game, where the player can find agents of an existing faction, or a new one. Seems like something the Enclave would do after so many setbacks. Edit: Another idea would be to have the numbers station be run by a pre-war AI, using it to string people along for its own goals. Or simply hav ea cargo cult of people tuning in to try and find meanings in the random words and phrases.

(Supersonic Low Altitude Missile) It was a nuclear ramjet powered cruise missile capable of dropping its payload of nukes on up to 16 targets with an operational range of 133,000 miles. Having a launch site that got hit mid launch with a near miss would allow for a player to come across one crashed or even in its launch cradle which would be cool as hell to see since it never left the drawing board.

Anyway, he's told many stories of the radiation coming off of those things (within his permit ofc, there's a lot of things he can't say), and honestly they're fascinating! Fun fact: the old Air Base bunkers were flooded when they were abandoned, meaning there's a bunch of perfectly preserved 1960s bunkers just laying around in the Greenland permafrost, full of ice.

I might be misremembering, but didn't the Hidden Valley bunker used by the Brotherhood in the Mojave have a weather control system? From memory, it put some kind of metals into the air to create storms that made the bunker harder to detect.

I want Fallout to be as immersive as it can be. Messing around with radio frequencies is a thing I enjoyed in Metro, and it would make sense in Fallout seeing as how you literally have a radio on your arm always. Picking up random frequencies as you explore just makes the world feel better.

Writing a Fallout RPG story for friends & absolutely love the cold war speculative video! Great ideas for plotlines.

I found this to be a very interesting look into the cold War, especially the part on atomic gardens. Personally I would like to see more talk of the effects that the fallout US, USSR and China had on the rest of the world, especially in comparison to things in our world ie. The Cuban missile crisis, US interference in South America in the 50s. I doubt we'll get a game set outside of the US, but I'd love to see some references at least.

I feel like Atomic Gardens would've been encouraged by the government in Fallout, to quell the talks of all the radioactive waste dumping. I also think the missile trains would've been a great excuse for the metro to carry radioactive waste too.

I'd like to see a pre war ghoul sleeper agent, that's normal until the numbers station comes back to life and they get activated. They could be your companion and the numbers station be their affinity quest

Good one Rad! I would love to see the old silos and arrays but I also think it would be interesting if they included more detailed nuclear power plants with a back story. The jump in the advancement of fission and “fusion” technologies in the fallout world always baffled me. The only nuclear power plants I know of in fallout 4 are the wrecked one near Country Crossing and the remains of one in The Glowing Sea. It would be a cool topic I think.

Since they weren't mentioned here by name, and I haven't seen anyone list them, another huge influence on Fallout was Blood's a Rover/A Boy and His Dog (A Boy and His Dog was later made into a film) by Harlan Ellison. I recommend reading the original versions, not the "updated" new edits.

As someone who walked the Chernobyl zone.. There are so many things that would fit great in these games, and yeah.. the duga radar is stupidly big, and those "light bulbs" looking things are huuuge when you stand next to them, there was quite a lot of them on the ground nearby. The big and small antennas were not the only thing at the area, except for all the military buildings and such.. there was also a type of circle antenna (Krug/CDAA). (Although as far as i know they removed it) Now.. the power plant itself, and all things related to it is just.. a morbid love of mine ❤️

The podcast Vault 97 (West Vault Radio) had a commercial for gamma gardening as an in-universe integration, so it was cool to hear about its origin as an actual Cold War era thing.

I did hear there were a variety of underground bunkers for important people of America that were created to look like a suburban house and yards. thou I don't remember all the details on these bunkers, they were basically bunkers created to be as comfortable as possible to the occupants to look like and feel like home, something that's still a bunker, but that's a little different from the Vaults. Maybe with something like this it could become a secret HQ for Enclave members, or even a place for you to start your story as a member of the Enclave, being a descendant of an important pre-war person.

These are some great ideas, especially love the atomic gardens they sound so cool! I see the potential of an incredible side quest being made around one.

Actually a weather manipulator does appear in 76, though they dont do much with it and the only real evidence is in logs. There is a facility designed like a telescope that is secretly a weather manipulation device. I believe the brotherhood dlc has them move into it

I loved hearing about atomic gardening! I never knew this was a thing!

Now if there is one thing I'd like to see in a fallout game would be Oak ridge secret city

Great video! So many cool ideas. I think I'll borrow some of these for the tabletop Fallout.

An excellent list. I think Project Nike air defense missile sites should be included. They were ubiquitous in suburban areas around major metropolitan areas during the Cold War, from the 50s until the mid 70s. There are still old buildings and radar equipment left from some Nike Missile sites in some areas to this day. There were 200 or so missile sites spread over 40 some sectors. They could be a good minor location for use in the game.

Speaking of number stations: a semi-recently released horror game called Signalis makes use of them. I always found them intriguing since I learned about them, so when I heard the game using them I got pretty curious. The game is definitely worth checking out if you are into that sort of thing and/or just like horror games.

I would love to see a mix gamma gardening and Vault 22 technology

Hey. I've been enjoying your exhaustive lists videos for the past month or so for your great voice and dry humor, and of course your attention to detail and thoroughness. Excellent stuff, if workmanlike (not a pejorative). Didn't expect this one, tho. Easily my new favorite video of yours and will make me take a closer look at the channel. This is such a great essay and your hypothetical scenarios sound like a blast and really get the imagination going.

Recently found your channel and it made me want to play Skyrim and Fallout again. Starting with FO4 and making my way down the previous games, then going to Oblivion and Skyrim. So far I've only put 3 days into FO4 but your videos give great tips and info for the lore nut and scavenger alike, even sometimes listen while gaming. Otherwise your material is great for the audio, as your long videos make great work study. Thank you for the work you do.

I would love to hear some more ideas, whether it's more cold war or sci-fi things like you said.

The storms in the divide and the storm that covers hidden valley are both weather manipulation devices created in the big mt so technically we do see it we just don’t see the things creating it

a Numbers station would also be an interesting thing for an Enclave faction that isnt Xenophobic and genocidal to communicate with, decode it and you find a pipboy module that will allow you to communicate directly with them, a few missions on you get direct contact.....that would be a real fun way to introduce a faction - you dont even realize they are enclave until you get to the meet and a Vertibird sets down to unload X-01 armored troopers but rather then the Circle E and black they have the American flag and a blue shoulder or something.

I remember those irradiated seed kits from when I was young (yes, I'm that old). I planted tomatoes at least one year.

Maybe number stations aren’t featured so far because they were an integral part of Enclave comms, which seems to have failed during the war. Their silence in Fallout could be the echoes of the failure of Enclave conspiracies.

Radking showcases and talks about the exact reasons why i love fallout. The speculation on the technologies, possible lore implications, history of, real world counterparts of things, all things that drive my love for the series. Thank you @Radking for this channel and its content, cheers to sharing atoms embrace and basking in his wonderful glow!☢️

I’ve gotta say that the numbers station in the intro really makes this channel dope af.

At this point I just hope I can play Fallout 5 before dying of old age.

i think the location for this rad farm could maybe be a vault, not only testing radiation on the food but testing that food on tbe vault dwellers, purposefully making certain dwellers sick to see the results, and maybe a faction of the COA live here, still growing and eating these location specific plants that only grow in the vault, the unique foods could grant different bonuses, such as when cooked, one may produce a radiation field around the player for 30 seconds or so, but slowing dousing the player with 5-10 rads per second or so, and you could cook it in a stew and have that stew maybe make it last longer, and a different stew not change the tine but mitigate the radiation dealt to the player, theres a plethora of things to explore here with the wonders of radiation and how it works, maybe this faction of COA could even have some members, or even be entirely made up of a new "species" of particularly goul-efied people, half their face and part of their limbs just slowly being turned into a goul, i think seeing people mid transition could be really intriguing to explore

ngl learning about numbers stations was cool af please keep it up lol

Fun from a train nerd, they were implemented for 3 years, main issue was the cars stick out like a sore thumb being excess height and using 4 trucks or bogies to hold the weight compared to the standard 2 truck setup, also the train would need to stop in the clear to properly deploy so it was kibashed.

Nice ideas, I like it. I do love the thought of expanding on things that should be implemented to tacky 60s sci-fi ideas or even actual 60s "what will we have in the future?" concepts.

gamma gardens? hmm could truly see a ghoul and supermutant community sprout up since they're immune to the rads.

The idea of atomic gardens got me to think about Vault 22, a whole area filled with mutated plants like the spore would be a cool idea for a new environment to explore and play a key role in a major quest line, but far more expensive then the vault concept.

All of the above, absolutely. Atomic Garden is the coolest idea, though kind of redundant with the already mutated gardens, but it'd make for a fun set of scenes.

This was super interesting & I personally enjoyed your brainstorming! Thank You!

Good one, by all means do 2nd part :D ! I'll listen for sure.

You should definitely do more videos like this! Maybe do different time periods...

Gamma gardening sounds amazing! I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but I loved the settlement building feature. I wouldn't mind putting some atomic horticultural techniques to the test. The idea of a location based on an atomic garden sounds really fun, too.

I could see the number stations being a thing that basically was implemented to help the DIA agents in fallout 4 find the cache's locations hidden around the map. I never thought it was very realistic how P.A.M just magically found the caches and gives you the cards to open the rooms. If it's added in now it could do the same or to various hidden dungeons that would be otherwise unseen at all normally with high end gear or functional vehicles that can ONLY be found by solving the number stations.

I applaud your use of a commercial break when talking about the number stations.

There was a plan to use the moon as a orbital weapon platform to launch nukes in case of WW3.

I disagree with adding mobile nuke launchers. In real life, the U.S. was never seriously invested in mobile launch tactics and has always instead opted for the "Nuclear Triad" doctrine which focuses on submarine-launched, aircraft launched, and silo-launched missiles. The only country that did focus on mobile launchers was the USSR to specifically counter the U.S.'s triad so the U.S. would have no reason to develop a fleet of mobile launchers. The best warfare strategy is to specialize in what your enemy *can't* do, not try and replicate them.

At least there's only a one-pager on Fallout 5 so far. Gives us plenty of time to shout to our heart's content all the things we wanna see in the next game.

Numbers stations could also be used to gather information on other factions, they could implement a code breaking perk that allows the player to crack the codes and use the information gathered to help or hinder those factions.

19:10 Already been done. * Big Mountain was known to be carrying out weather manipulation experiments. You can directly interact with a small scale version in a lab and terminals within that lab show they were doing it on large scales. * Clearly that research went somewhere, because in Fallout 4, you can load a friggin fireworks mortar with a shell that can change the weather.

I dig the atomic gardens and the weather manipulation the most. The atomic garden reminds me of a malfunctioning GECK or better yet a test site for the predecessor or cousin to the GECK. I like the weather manipulation too, it's much larger in scope but similar to a idea I had about the climate control system in a hockey stadium is malfunctioning and turning itself and the surrounding area into a winter zone.

On the mention of sci-fi ideas for a future video of what ifs or whatnot, I think one very unique thing to take from B-grade flicks is the cliche of a mad scientist doing brain transplants. In Fallout, brains have been put into jars of bio-gel, most notably to control Robobrains.. In the New Vegas DLC Old World Blues the Courier's brain also ends up in a container of bio-gel (and can be conversed with hilarious results). I think an interesting and insofar unjustly unexplored evolution of this concept is the brain being put into other creatures of the wasteland. Of course I'm talking about this happening to the game's protagonist. Just imagine the Fallout protagonist having the chance to cause utter chaos as a Deathclaw, or embark on a most non-standard quest as an ordinary dog.

You ever thought about modding things like these? The nuclear trains seem like a pretty good addition to Fo4, I’m sure many people would be interested in downloading them!

Damn sick video loved the duga idea I could totally see that

When I was a high schooler, my best friends and I would write our own game guides and game theories. Our theory for the Fallout 3 DLC was that you’d have to go to the commonwealth to take on or join the institute because of certain dialogue during the replicated man quest in rivet city. Obviously F4 happened which really boosted my ego but we made a theory for NV dlc that you would go to Roswell and Area 51 so I’m hoping for Fallout 5 to do me another solid.

these are all interesting ideas. even if they aren't used in a game I could picture people running fallout D&D TO incorporate them in their games

Yeah the radar stations are still one of my most nostalgic memories from when I first played fallout

Mobile launchers are in fallout as they can be seen in the Fallout 4 intro, just a sidenote.

I was talking to my friend about number stations and why aren't they in fallout I didn't see this video but my idea was since you can find Chinese spys in and around the United states in the game (fallout 3 and 76 having the most I've seen of it) but maybe you could find a radio station that plays numbers and a whole side quest is to figure out the message and solve the mystery kinda like in point look out and you find the goulified spy 200 years later and you can either kill them for being a commie, convince them to quit their mission and find them a home in the post war or help them complete their mission even though it would be a fruitless effort but you gain a perk called "incognito" that gives you a buff to sneak and allows you to sabatoge factions without them becoming hostile off the bat could add for some neat roleplaying and make a future game more interesting

On the topic of weather control; you could also use it as a set-piece like the Hoover-Dam in New Vegas, where factions are fighting for control of it, ra facility that could control the weather would breathe new life into the wasteland, a faction you set up to control the station could then use it for either malevolent or benevolent purposes. For example a faction of ghoul supremacists could use the station to make it nothing but rad-storms, so the non-ghouls, and mutants would perish.

I'd love to see the Atomic Garden as a creation club/mob for Fallout4 settlements ... maybe a new dungeon that's basically an above ground ruin of a PreWar research program and an underground ant nest that you have to delve into to recover some item/macguffin to complete the quest. Upon completion, you unlock a new misc resource settlement item that drops down a central radiator with some radioactive material, a large zone where nothing can be placed and it emits radiation damage, but then a series of circles on the ground a few meters away from the center that increases the amount of food yielded by planted crops. 15:00 - there is already weather modification tech in Fallout 4, though. You can craft mortar shells to create/dispel rainfall from your settlements, cant you?

Here me out, a Chinese numberstation being broadcast from China and being picked up in the new wasteland, investigating it would lead you to find some Chinese Enclave equivalent active in the US, looking for something. Maybe a Geck? Maybe a vault? Maybe something if interest to their leadership ?

A Soviet "Dead Hand" like automatic launch system like thing would be neat you find a family or settlement in a bunker that constantly resets a silent hand like automatic nuclear launching system you need to keep them safe, or kill them, maybe the system has long since broken or never worked, or maybe thats one fun little early game ending easter egg

If they're going to put a weather weapon in Fallout, please, PLEASE let them call it the Weather Dominator.

Loving the video and the depth of knowledge towards things that can be implemented into the Fallout Universe. DUGA radar is a big oversight by Bethesda so far and I completely agree it would be one of the first places I would check out if I ever saw it over the Horizon 😁. Maybe they could give a nod towards S.T.A.L.K.E.R too by adding the conspiracy theories around it having mind control as a secondary Enclave (military contractor) application to the site.

Excellent video, I loved it ❤

Number stations implementation in tandem with a real world ARG would be awesome as hell!!!

Bethesda should hire you as a consultant for Fallout 5. You have so many great ideas!

The number station would make an awesome arg

Borrowing a bit from COD Black Ops, the first one. A number station could be implemented in a quest where the number station starts broadcasting again after raiders or settlers try to tamper or scrap it for parts, or try to repair it for their own use, and then the number station sets off some sort of device, a robot army, something akin to a sleeper cell that's been dormant for centuries. I think it would totally fit the vibe of Fallout.

Oh man, that pseudo-scientist at the 15min mark- that dude is sure a Character. The 'orgone energy' evolved from his obsession with the orgasm and sex. There's a Sawbones episode about him I'd recommend. These are such great ideas though! I was especially fascinated by the Atomic gardens.

Gyrojet firearms whould be in Fallout, they are rocket guns devloped during the 1960s.

Tatos would technically be a byproduct of nuclear radiation, just due to nuclear weapons. Radiation is also used to sterilize some types of food and other things. Now for other things that should be included in Fallout, I think things like fusion core powered 4 wheelers, some form of power armor addon for moving underwater, and riot shields. For things from the 50's things like pop art and more rock and roll should be included in game.
