Nordhagen Beach

Nordhagen Beach is a location and possible settlement in the Commonwealth in 2287.

Layout
Nordhagen Beach is a small settlement along the coast. In its base state, there are three settlers, two parents and a child that are unnamed. On the beach itself, there is driftwood and various other items which can be scrapped. There is also a shipping container buried in the sand in the southeast corner that cannot be moved or scrapped for components.

Heading east from the bridge one will see a light green car on the righthand side of the road. Past this and on the left is a visible sand road with two plastic flamingos on the left side leading to the settlement's only structure; a single brick building containing one bed and two mattresses. In addition, there is an end table and several junk items. Just before the doorway to the building, there is a chemistry station against the wall.

On the western side of the building is the settlement's workshop, a water pump and a wooden perimeter fence spanning to the north and northeast. There is a wooden rowboat just behind the fence and a partially buried truck and tractor in front of them, all of which can be scrapped if the settlement is allied with the Sole Survivor.

On the eastern side of the settlement, there is a large gourd patch surrounded by a wooden posted fence. To the south of the fence is a cooking station. Just over the southeast settlement boundary, there are two fragments of a crashed airliner. If one continues along the eastern road from Nordhagen, there is a Stingray Deluxe jet on the south side of the road and beyond this a collapsed building that has been repurposed as a lookout. Continuing along the road will lead to Fort Strong. A second Stingray is buried underwater due southwest of the settlement and halfway towards Boston Airport.

Bugs
After exiting the console the settlers can be selected in workshop mode, "moved" to Nordhagen Beach and have clothing/armor equipped via the trade menu if needed. The child settler can be restored with the following commands:, Clicked to select the ref id of the new NPC if not already selected followed by , , and then move the NPC to Nordhagen Beach through the workshop menu as above. If one wishes to further restore the vanilla characteristics of the NPCs should be set for all, as they are not normally moveable, and will take effect on the next cell reload. The keywords can not be removed with console commands, but can be skipped in the first place if you are willing to trigger a cell reload before attempting to move the settlers.
 * Settlers assigned to stores (except the clinic) placed above the water at Nordhagen Beach will refuse to engage in dialogue.
 * Simply moving those emporiums away from the water and placing them on (or above) a dry surface resolves this.
 * Settlers here may not offer an allegiance quest, requiring workshop ownership to be established via console commands (preventing it from appearing in the player's list of workshops) or by killing the adult inhabitants - after which the child settler will run off. Players wishing to restore the NPCs after killing them and accessing the workshop may do the following:
 * Open the console, click each dead settler to select their reference ID and run the following commands: (and possibly ),, , , , , ,
 * A star core may spawn near the house.
 * Attackers might spawn under the beach.
