Hangman's Alley

Hangman's Alley is a location in the Commonwealth in Fallout 4. It is a location for a settlement. It starts in the hands of a small group of raiders, once they have been dispatched it can be used as a settlement. The area is quite small but it comes with pre-existing defenses, which can be useful when starting out. This area can be built up vertically, allowing for strategic placement of said defenses.

It is rather good at limiting areas of attack as it is only accessible from three directions (if you unchain the door up the ladder) and is close to a central location with easy to build on flat surfaces. This settlement will need a power source and a recruitment beacon if it is to be expanded.

One could also move settlers from other locations to help it grow or it can be used as a personal space.

Layout
As this is the location for a settlement, there is a workshop, weapons workbench, and a cooking station. The majority of the structures present can be scrapped, primarily excluding the elevated shack.

There is a reasonable amount of dirt within the build-able area allowing crops and water pumps to be placed, however it is unlikely that much excess will be produced as there are no open sources of water (e.g. a river.)

Appearances
Hangman's Alley only appears in Fallout 4.

Bugs
When doing the quest Taking Point: Hangman's Alley, the Radio Beacon and Power Generator can be constructed outside of the accessible area. If this happens, one would either have to build a second generator, or use the tcl (no clipping) console command to exit the map and access them.
