Saturnite Alloy Research Facility

The Saturnite alloy research facility 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 entering the 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.

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 one of the three lockers in the plant.
 * 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.
 * 5 Proton throwing axes and a Saturnite fist can be looted from the corpse of Sparks.
 * A toolbox containing several chems and aid items is located on the rectangular metal structure above the smelting pool. It can be reached by dropping to a pipe from the catwalk.
 * A skeleton with a toolbox, a first aid box, and three jet is located in the north-east corner of the main smelting room, underneath the stairs.
