Evergreen Mills

Evergreen Mills is an old factory in the southwest quadrant of the Capital Wasteland, just east of Smith Casey's garage. It is inhabited by a large number of raiders, a few captive slaves, and one of the few super mutant behemoths. Deep in the mill is Smiling Jack, a merchant who will sell to you even if you've attacked and/or killed the other raiders.

Exterior
Evergreen Mills features a large outdoor area which is nestled in a small valley. Other than by dropping down from the valley's ledges, it can only be reached by following a set of train tracks which enter the valley from the east. The exterior part of this location consists of a slave pen with three to four slaves, an electrified cage containing a super mutant behemoth, as well as a series of metal shacks and train cars surrounding the factory building itself. In total, up to 16 raiders patrol the area and guard the rails leading into the camp. The area contains a number of traps, including frag mines near the northern entrance, with tripwires (releasing grenade bouquets) at the shacks' periphery.

Guardhouse
The guardhouse is a small shack in the northewestern part of the Evergreen Mills, reached by the walkway which crosses over the slave pen. Although devoid of any inhabitants, one of the Evergreen Mills slave pen keys can be found here, as well as a decent amount of ammunition, and a RadAway in the small crate on the top shelf directly to the right of the door when you enter. You must first move the small crate to obtain the RadAway.

Northern shack
The northern shack is found just north of the factory building. It is home to two raiders. The female raider wears sexy sleepwear. They also run down from upstairs, where a discarded set of raider armor can be found on the nightstand. The shack contains some minor loot. There is also a workbench in the back room, with a bottlecap mine under it.

Southern shack
The southern shack is a single floor, two room structure in the southern part of the valley and is home to a single raider armed with a flamer. A missile launcher can be found on the bed in the room adjacent to the entry area, if the raider does not pick it up to use it. The big guns that the raider has to choose from can make close quarters combat in the shack somewhat dangerous.

Evergreen Mills foundry
The foundry is the interior of the large factory building, guarded by 6 raiders. Upon entering, a door to the east leads to Evergreen Mills bazaar. On the ground level, there are two cabins occupied by enemies, one of which holds a safe, a gun cabinet and a Nuka-Cola vending machine. A flight of stairs behind the entrance provides access to a few walkways and rooms. Two rooms on the highest level contain safes. One of these rooms also contains other loot (chems and a Fat Man) and has a locked door which can be opened with the storage room key found in another room on the topmost level.

There is an easy locked safe as well as 2 mine boxes and an ammunition box behind the bar on the lower level near the door to the Bazaar.

There is also a copy of Duck and Cover! lying next to a dead body on the ledge above the broken terminal of the ground. To reach it, you must jump off the stairs to the ledge.

Evergreen Mills bazaar
Evergreen Mills bazaar is a cave complex with a bar, shop and a brothel accessed through a hole in the floor. Apart from the non-hostile Smiling Jack, 10 heavily armed raiders, with at least one carrying a missile launcher, populate the area.

Just inside the door leading from the foundry is a room with most of the floor gone. You can climb down this hole and follow a tunnel to the main portion of the bazaar. Arranged around a central stone pillar are wooden platforms connected by a series of ramps. A passage in the Northwest corner of this central area, flanked by a pair of mannequins decorated with red lights, leads up to a raider brothel where you will be greeted with hostility by Madame (who is unnamed in the game). A few raider women (the brothel's whores), can be found locked in cells. Upon release, these women will attack the player.

When you first enter the bazaar, there is a small bar right at the entrance with two fridges behind the counter. If you jump on the shelf to the right of the fridges, you will find a small crate behind the left fridge containing a few pulse grenades. There is also a pulse grenade in the bucket on the second shelf to the left of the refrigerator.

Keep to the right-hand side of the cave and you will come to the shop of Smiling Jack (the only non-hostile raider in the area), which is in a small cave reached from the main portion of the bazaar. There is a workbench in the northeast alcove of his store. A small safe is built into the back of the counter under the workbench. Behind the workbench are some shelves containing some miscellaneous items and the Bobblehead - Barter on the right. There is a hidden space behind the shelves on your right (when you walk in) containing two ammunition boxes and some chems. To get there, just turn right and go between the two sets of shelves. You can kill Smiling Jack and take his unique weapon, The Terrible Shotgun, and his key, gaining access to the inventory of his shop without losing Karma. He will also have a finger on his corpse if you have the Lawbringer perk. If you would rather not kill him, you can reverse-pickpocket another weapon with appropriate ammunition and take all of his shotgun ammunition. If you leave the Bazaar and return (you may have to make a save outside the Bazaar and then load that save before returning), he will have equipped himself with the weapon you gave him, putting The Terrible Shotgun in his inventory for you to steal. You can also shoot the gun out of his hand, and pick it up if you have a low sneak skill (he goes hostile but doesn't fight you).

Appearances
Evergreen Mills appears only in Fallout 3.

Bugs

 * Occasionally, no slaves appear in the slave pens. To fix this, go into the foundry, then go back outside. The slaves should appear in their pens.
 * The behemoth (once released) can become trapped behind a gate and die.
 * Sometimes the behemoth may randomly appear out of its cage, with the cage doors still closed and fence electrified.
 * Non-player characters might open the behemoth's gate, even if the fence is still electrified.
 * With Broken Steel installed, there may be crates of Aqua Pura at the entrance sitting next to the railroad before the main storyline has been completed.
 * Standing directly in front of the entrance to the Foundry area, and crouching behind the wrecked car upon releasing the behemoth will result in the behemoth wandering back and forth between the wrecked car and its former cage. As long as the player remains crouched behind the vehicle, the behemoth will not attack, leaving it easy prey towards the achievement/trophy The Bigger They Are....
