Engineering Core

The  is a location on board Mothership Zeta.

About
The Engineering Core is the third area that the player encounters aboard the Mothership, and serves as a hub between numerous other locations aboard the ship, including the Steamworks, Hangar, Cryo-Lab and Robot Assembly. Here, one can also find several other captives that will assist the player aboard the ship. As the player progresses through the Mothership Zeta quest, the Engineering Core changes. Defenses are put up and barricades made by the other captives. Eventually a broken Nuka Cola Machine will show up.
