The Giant Teapot

The Giant Teapot is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia in 2102.

Background
Since 1938, the Giant Teapot has been a roadside attraction set up on the western road leading out of Charleston. The Giant Teapot and its robotic brewer, Sweetwater, once served the perfect Virginian tea. Sweetwater is trying to continue to uphold this proud tradition.

Layout
This location has three sections, a Red Rocket service station, a small gift shop and the Giant Teapot itself.

The Giant Teapot is a large red and white teapot that sits beside a playground and some picnic tables and in front of an audio tour station. The audio station is still operational and will offer visitors some factual tidbits about the landmark. Inside the teapot are two cash registers and an open fridge which contains a honey jar and some cranberries. Behind the cash registers are four wooden blocks which spell out the word "LATE." Controls for the teapot's boiler can be found next to the entrance, with an operations manual tacked to the wall next to it. The main boiler pipe is located outside at the back of the teapot.

The Red Rocket sits to the southeast of the teapot. There is a rusted pickup truck with a number of explosive canisters in the back, sitting next to the inoperational gas pumps outside. Inside the building are assorted junk and consumable items including a box of Sugar Bombs on one of the shelves. As is typical of Red Rockets, there is a stash box in the corner of the station. There is also a weapons workbench behind the building, next to one of the boiler pipes which needs to be protected as part of the Tea Time event.

A small gift shop is located in the north of the teapot. Sweetwater lives in this house, serving up his special blend of tea. The lower level has a cash register on the front counter and various honey and tea-related paraphernalia on the shelves, including a house teapot and a bumblebear. The upper level has a storeroom and bathroom. There is a skeleton sitting beside a locked wooden crate (Picklock 0) in the storeroom.

Behind the scenes
The Giant Teapot is based on the real world location of the Chester teapot located in Chester, West Virginia. The structure is billed as the "World's Largest Teapot" and bears a nearly identical resemblance to that seen in-game.
