Nuka-Cola Plant (Fallout 3)

The Nuka-Cola Plant is a large, three-story factory building located at the South edge and slightly East on the map. It can be easily found by following the road leading from the Citadel a few miles West past the Arlington Library and Flooded Metro.

It is sparsely populated with Mirelurks and Protectrons. It is the main location of the Finding the Formula minor-side-quest. You can start this quest by finding and searching the body of a fallen human, Winger Mercier, found inside the Factory.

In the bottom level of the Manufacturing Floor you will find a Mister Handy named Robotic Foreman who you can speech into giving you the R&D Safe Key and access to the Shipping Computer.

The Shipping Computer can be used to mark the locations of the initial Nuka-Cola Quantum delivery sites on your Pip-Boy 3000 Map. It can also be used to manufacture infinite Nuka-Colas, or 3 Nuka-Cola Quantums before you jam the bottling line permanently.

Once you have obtained the R&D Safe Key you can open the R&D Safe, which contains the Nuka-Cola Clear Recipe that is needed to complete the Finding the Formula quest. To complete the quest, simply travel a few miles NE to the Red Rocket Factory and speak with Goalie Ledoux, who will be waiting for you out front.
