Kingsport Lighthouse

Kingsport Lighthouse is a location and possible settlement in the Commonwealth

Background
A landmark once serving the area, the lighthouse has been settled by the Church of the Children of Atom in recent years. Cultists from the crater house have sent some of their number to this lighthouse to guide pilgrims and feed unwary travelers to their glowing one, whom they refer to as "Heretics" and "Blessed," respectively.

Settlement information
Once the lighthouse has been rid of the cultists, the site can be used as a settlement. The construction zone of this settlement extends from the house in the west down to the dock and boathouse in the east, including the lighthouse between. The main house is mostly intact, but additional structures can also be built around it. The junk around the locale provides decent amounts of steel, wood, concrete and rubber for construction, but anything more may require manual collection or a supply line.

The hostile Children of Atom and the glowing one atop the lighthouse must be cleared out before the settlement can be activated. The hole in the house's roof must be covered for settlers to consider it a roofed area. The sandy area surrounding the house can be used for crop production, and the beach has open water which allows for large-scale water purification.

Even though the area is accessible from three directions, in a dangerous region and prone to raids, the lighthouse is an easily defensible building. Because of impassable rock ledges bordering most of its landward approaches, attackers usually approach from either the shoreline south of the dock, or directly up the driveway.

Layout
Kingsport Lighthouse features a medium-sized building area. The house itself is two stories high, with an Advanced-locked safe on the first floor. Behind the house is a four-story lighthouse, with an isolated glowing one and a steamer trunk behind a barred door at the top. There is a workshop and a weapons workbench in the first level of the lighthouse.

Behind the lighthouse is a small bay, with a boat to the right and a boathouse and dock on the left. The road down from the lighthouse is littered with a few powerful mines and a tripwire rigged to a nuclear trap. The yellow barrels at the end of the dock are highly radioactive, peaking at 30 rads per second. They can be scrapped for materials in workshop mode, which will get rid of the radiation permanently.

Loot
A mini nuke can be found at the top of the lighthouse behind the barred door.
