Mahkra Fishpacking

Mahkra Fishpacking is a location in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Layout
Mahkra Fishpacking consists of a large factory on the most northern shore of the Commonwealth. The exterior is fortified with a stone wall and sandbags. During the first visit, the courtyard, catwalks, and interior are littered with the bodies of the former raider owners. Apart from the main entrance doors to the front, there is also an unlocked hatch entrance in the northeast corner of the roof, accessed by an exterior metal stairway.

The upper level of the factory initially contains no hostiles, but once the lower level is explored, a number of synths will enter the building, which then spread throughout the entire facility (even after clearing the lower level). A number of synths will also be outside of the facility and on the roof upon exiting the plant.

To the northwest is a feral ghoul stuck on a platform on the water.

Exterior

 * Robot model kit parts - On the eastern exterior of the building behind an advanced locked door on a shelf.
 * Bottle message #5 - Outside the plant, follow the east side path to the water, there is a rowboat and the bottle is upright in the sand nearby. The bottle objective leads to an underwater skeleton in a tub.
 * Fusion core - Inside a hideout beneath the bridge leading to the factory.
 * Vault-Tec lunchbox, also in the same hideout (medium level radiation) under the bridge. Behind a Novice locked cell to the right on a shelf.
 * Mahkra facilities key - On a dead raider hanging out of a storage bunker at the right side of the plant. Unlocks the security gate and a door.

Interior

 * Tesla Science Magazine issue #9 - Back basement area, northwest corner, underneath the stairway leading to the chained door. Found next to an Expert locked safe and a dead raider.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - Back of the blue trailer in the middle of the factory when first entering. It is in a crate next to a dead raider, booby-trapped with a frag mine on the floor.
 * Mahkra facilities key - On a dead raider in the southeast corner of the lower floor, next to an Advanced locked security gate. Unlocks the nearby security gate and an exterior door on the east side of the facility.
 * A total of 84 trays can be found in the lower level of the facility, resulting in 84 aluminum when scrapped.

Appearances
Mahkra Fishpacking appears only in Fallout 4.

Bugs

 * The Sole Survivor can get stuck on top of one of the conveyor belts in the basement with the dinner trays on them, forcing to load a previous save. If the player character has a companion that is wearing power armor when this bug occurs, simply select them with the cursor and interact with them as if one was attempting to enter their power armor. This will teleport them to the location directly behind the companion's armor. The reason for getting stuck is because the player character is between rails that are squeezing them in, look up and follow them out. One can also sit in the nearby chair or stool to get unstuck.
 * Many items may not re-spawn inside (mainly the trays in the basement). This can occur if all synths are not eliminated.
 * Occasionally, when attempting to end the quest "Variable Removal: Mahkra Fishpacking" by reporting back to P.A.M., she will state that she is in "Security Lockdown Mode." If so, she will refuse any verbal communication and the quest cannot be turned in.
