Feed the People

Event: Feed the People is a public event in Fallout 76.

Detailed walkthrough
Interact with the control terminal and choose "Activate Food Processing Machines" for the quest to start. There will be a constant attack from Liberators and other enemies throughout the duration of the quest.

Collecting items
Player characters will first be asked to collect the following ingredients:
 * Three dehydrated beef stocks
 * Three diced vegetable mixes
 * Three meat-flavored soy chunks

These must be loaded into the food hopper on the factory floor to produce stew.

Possible locations:
 * Office, downstairs toilet
 * Office, upstairs
 * On top of shelving next to a locked cage
 * On top of the upper console
 * In the lockers
 * Next to the conveyor belt

Running the machines
After the ingredients have been loaded into the hopper, the machinery is activated from a nearby terminal. After this step, there are two phases that repeat until the timer runs out - defending and repairing.

Defending
Defend the three consoles. The Front Control Console and the Conveyor Belt Console are on the lower floor, while the Ingredient Hopper Console is on the upper floor above the ingredient hopper.

The first wave consists of various kinds of radroaches or mole rats. The second and third waves have various kinds of feral ghouls.

Repairing
In between waves, approximately around the 3:50 and 1:40 time marks, alarm bells will ring. Someone needs to run the diagnostic routine on the terminal to identify the problem. The issues that need fixing are randomly chosen from the following list: The same problem will never occur twice during an event.
 * Activate the fuse box
 * Activate the pressure-release valve
 * Repair pipe (three steel required)

Rewards
Upon completing this event, everyone participating in the event will receive five canned meat stew, in addition to the usual event rewards.

Bugs

 * Prior to patch 1.0.6.0, adding ingredients into the hopper of the food processor machinery too quickly could cause random inventory items to unintentionally be lost.
 * Prior to patch 1.0.3.10, everyone on the server received the quest reward when the quest was completed.
 * Some of the ingredient containers can de-spawn, making it impossible to finish the collection task. This will stall the event until the timer runs out and the event fails.
