Corvega Factory

The Corvega Factory is a location southwest of Vault 108.

Background
Before theGreat War, this Chryslus Motors facility manufactured the Corvega, a vehicle heavily advertized in the Capital Wasteland and on the Fallout 3 loading screens. Now, it's home to a colony of giant ants.

Layout
The factory is inhabited by giant ants, within its southern extremity waits a giant ant queen, who can be killed for her pheromones. Inside you will find several dead wastelanders (one with a degraded Laser Rifle), 3 skill books, a few desks and filing cabinets containing random items, and a handful of weapon parts (including 2 lunchboxes) - not counting the 40-50 pieces of ant meat you can get from the many ants and egg clutches.

Interior
Numbers refer to points on the map at right
 * (#1) Lying, Congressional Style on the reception desk. Two crutches are also sitting behind the desk.
 * (#2) Big Book of Science in an office up the stairs and to your left when you enter the building. It's located Northeast on the map of the Corvega Factory - entrance portion.
 * (#3) Dean's Electronics east of the ant queen, up the stairway. It can be found under the bodies of either a mercenary, a wastelander, or on the desk next to them.

Exterior

 * Big Book of Science in a red dumpster in the back of the factory next to a truck. You will need to jump in from the nearby cliff (watch your health). Alternatively, hug the cliff edges and you can get down one rock at a time. Also be careful not to get stuck in behind the barrels, else you'll have to fast travel to escape.
 * U.S. Army: 30 Handy Flamethrower Recipes in a Nuka-Cola truck to the south of the factory under the highway girders.
 * Chinese Army: Special Ops Training Manual in the same Nuka-Cola truck, inside a locked (very hard, 100 skill) foot locker. The key to the foot locker is located about 7 steps north from the front of the Nuka-Cola truck, under an overturned box by a rock and a skeleton.
 * Mini nuke in the same Nuka-Cola truck.
 * Searching the Nuka-Cola truck will spawn raiders at the entrance to the truck, usually lightly armed.
 * Near the same Nuka-Cola truck there is a package of psycho. The psycho is located outside the trailer on the hitch of the truck (sw side).
 * Enclave soldiers may come from a vertibird landing near the Nuka-Cola truck. One may have the Tesla armor equipped along with a plasma rifle. If you have the Broken Steel expansion installed, both Enclave soldiers may be wearing Hellfire armor, but will still be equipped with plasma rifles (as opposed to the usual Heavy Incinerators they typically carry).

Points of interest

 * There is a section of the factory in which multiple cars can be blown up in a row, creating a massive explosion.
 * There is a dead female Talon Company merc sprawled on a balcony above the main entrance. Stairs are provided to enable the PC to reach (and loot) her corpse.
 * The entrance section features an inaccessible second floor with a toppled vending machine and a lootable steel desk that dangles through the collapsed floor. Obsessed players can reach the desk from the balcony where the dead Talon merc is, by jumping onto the railing, then the broken column, then toward the desk, looting it in midair, however this may be a waste of time, as it is usually empty.
 * It can be reached even easier by jumping out and up from the fallen beam in the debris pile beneath it while looking straight up.
 * Down the road behind the factory, just past the gas station, a random encounter has been noted. Usually a Talon Company Merc accompanied with a robot companion. This occurs south of the factory, just west of the overturned Nuka-Cola truck.
 * Below the front of the overturned Nuka-Cola truck is a skeleton and a box covering an empty whisky bottle, if you lift the box the skeleton jumps at you, sometimes falling on top of they player. It appears that some angles wont trigger the jump or sometimes looking at the skeleton will prevent the jump as well.
