Starlight Drive In

The Starlight Drive In is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. The player character can use it to build a colony, which is required for the quest Taking Point: Starlight Drive-In.

Layout
The Starlight Drive In is a Drive-In movie lot with a large 3-story screen and a parking lot filled with the rusted hulks of destroyed cars. There are three major structures: the screen, the workshop and the diner.


 * In the middle of the lot is a large water-filled crater that is extremely radioactive (+23 or more) - however, the five radioactive barrels can be scrapped after unlocking the workshop, removing the radiological hazard entirely which can then be used to produce water from a water purifier.


 * The diner is booby trapped in several places, including the door will cause a booby trap to explode, you can avoid this by entering from the second floor via the fallen down roof and disarming it. There is also an active Bottlecap Mine in the left-hand window, which can easily kill an low level adventurer. It is advisable to disarm it from outside while sneaking.


 * You can reach the top of the screen by following the stairs inside the screen, it is trapped with proximity mines on the landings so beware. There are also locked rooms behind the screens which has good loot and useful for starting a settlement.

Notable loot

 * Fusion core - located in the locked room behind the screen.
 * Nuka-Cola Quantum - in the same room as the fusion core.

Bugs
During Taking Point: Starlight Drive-In, you may be unable to clear all of the hostiles even though they have been removed. Possible causes range from clearing the drive-in prior to be assigned the mission to clipping issues with the hostiles (molerats) not coming above ground. There is a reported fix on pc only. By using the console command "killall" it will end the mission as all enemy targets will be dead.

Sometimes your settlers enter the screen stairs and are unable to exit the stairs, even with commanding them so go somewhere else. You can fix that by fast traveling somewhere or wait/sleep some hours.

Appearances
The Starlight Drive In only appears in Fallout 4.
