The  is a place in the Mojave Wasteland. The Goodsprings Source is located south-southeast of Goodsprings and serves as purified water supply and the main tutorial area should the player choose to accept Sunny Smiles offer of training.

Layout
The player can fill their Vault 13 canteen here during Hardcore mode if they have the Classic Pack. The player can also drink from the valve with no fear of rad poisoning for the same effects as if they had drank Purified water. There is a small campfire nearby that can be used to cook foods with a high enough Survival level. A guy named Barton Thorn is near the Goodsprings Source and he will ask anybody for help saving his girlfriend/wife/daughter from a group of Geckos up on the ridge, which for a new player just starting can be very difficult. When you clear the place from Geckos and go back to that guy he say that he tricked you and now he tries to kill you. He has 9mm pistol and only 2 magazines. When he is low on ammunition, he runs off and tries to escape. He tricked you because another man named Johnny with the Wild Wasteland trait, or a dead Prospector (both found dead have a stash at place where Barton Thorn said his girlfriend is trapped. Also a Wild Wasteland location involving 4 big red balls. If you look closely on the table, you will see 4 club aces.  Look on the ground next to Johnny for a 5th club ace which appears to have fallen out of his sleeve or hand.

Note: A fully repaired Shovel is right beside one of the wells, slightly obscured by a bush.
