Kanawha Nuka-Cola plant

The Kanawha Nuka-Cola plant is a location in the Forest region of Appalachia.

Background
Before the war, Kanawha Nuka-Cola Plant was the regional marketing and research and development facility to test how the people of Appalachia liked their upcoming products, such as the codenamed products, "Whale Shark", "Orca", and "Albatross", as well as Nuka-Cola Quantum, Nuka-Cola Black, Nuka-Cola Orange, and Nuka-Cola Quartz. It also partook in the development of the beverage that would become Nuka-Cola Cranberry. By 2103, the plant would become instrumental in the Vault 76 overseer's plan to create a widespread means of inoculation to the Scorched Plague.

Layout
There are two entrances to the Kanawha Nuka-Cola plant, both surrounded by low-level Scorched or feral ghouls. There is the main entrance and the shipping entrance. Heading through the main entrance will lead to a reception area while going through the shipping area will lead to the factory floor.

Through the main entrance is a small reception area and proceeding forward up a small staircase and through a large doorway there is a large open lobby consisting of numerous labs and tasting areas, there is one lab on the right of the room next to a tasting area and a utility tunnel leading to the factory floor while on the left is a storage area. Around five Scorched can spawn in the main lobby area. There are two staircases on the right and left leading up to the labs and catwalk and at the end of the lobby is another doorway leading to the factory level, a much grimier, concrete, area filled with a number of Scorched.

On the opposite side of the factory is the shipping area which is guarded by two Protectrons who will shoot the scorched nearby but are also hostile to players. Once getting past the Protectrons there is a door inside of a control pod leading to the factory floor. Upon entering the factory floor there are a number of conveyor belts and industrial machines, although there is no Nuka-Cola found anywhere around the factory. At the back of the factory floor in a secluded area is a network of utility tunnels leading to the employee break room, the lobby area, more of the factory floor and also a small room with two fusion generators, one with a fusion core inside of it.
