Saturnite Alloy Research Facility

The  is a location in the southwest of the Big Empty in the Fallout: New Vegas add-on Old World Blues. It is located southeast of the Z-43 Innovative Toxins Plant. It is a factory based on top of a cave system where they mine the Saturnite alloy. This building is full of Crazed Mister Handy robots along with one unique Mister Handy by the name of Sparks.

Layout
Upon eastern entrance is a standard lobby with a few desks and computers that leads to a main factory floor. This floor has a southern exit, as well as a set of stairs that lead up to tunnels. The tunnels take you to a cave system with more stairs, that eventually lead down into the main cave. The main cave, as well as Sparks, however, are protected by a force field, so a sonic emitter will be required.

Past the force field, at the very end of the cave, is a cavern with 2 catwalks that go around a magma pit and end up in a room. This room contains another crazed mister handy, as well as some of the notable loot below.

WARNING: The magma pit may look like a nice and cozy place to stay, but if you decide to jump in, you will die. The pit has a scripted death for the player character right above the pit on both the Xbox 360 and the PC, the same applies to the cauldrons.

Notable loot

 * 2 Construction hats, one up the first set of stairs to the left and one in the pit along with a skeleton at the bottom of the cave.
 * One Saturnite fist, located at the very end of the cave (Around the back of the pit) on a counter.
 * Combat armor can be found in a locker in the same room as the saturnite fist.
 * Light Switch 02 Upgrade: "Mood Lights" holotape: in North portion of factory, ground level. In cabinet next to 10mm ammunition and Saturnite signs at doorway.
 * 1 Stealth boy, in a locker to the right when you enter the building.
 * 5 Proton throwing axes can be looted from the corpse of Sparks.
 * First aid box can be found upon entering the North entrance and heading diagonally to the right hand corner, next to a skeleton.
 * Toolbox containing various chems and medicinal supplies on top of box above first magma pit (use the pipe to get up)
