Old Flames

Old Flames is a cut quest in Fallout 76.

Synopsis
This quest would have centered around using air purifiers to harvest raw materials from the polluted air, repeating Hornwright Industrial mining company's mistakes.

Walkthrough
The quest would have been unlocked by cracking a locked terminal at Hornwright headquarters, gaining access to Dominic Heyward's data and the ability to activate the forges. The player character would then have to activate the forge, craft precursors at a chemistry workbench and throw them into mine fires, then return to collect the raw materials. It seems they would have been able to place Ash Forges at their workshop, to gather minerals from the air at the Ash Heap.
