So you're the lucky scab gathering ingots for me today, huh?Everett

The Pitt Steelyard is a location in The Pitt in Fallout 3.

Background

Before the Great War, the Steelyard was a part of a metal foundry in downtown Pittsburgh. After the war, the location is part of the Pitt, with scattered Steel Ingots located within. The area is infested with Trogs and Wildmen. Rather than take the risk, the Pitt Raiders send Slaves into the Steelyard in search of ingots.

Layout

Steelyard

The Steelyard opens to a ramp leading to a trainyard. A dead Pitt Slave is located directly in front of the entrance, the gun and ammo of which can be picked up. A stairway beyond the slave's remains leads up to a rusted landscape of pipes, scrap heaps, and warehouses. Planks and scrap metal form bridges to the warehouses and across pipes. In the east is an area containing radioactive toxic waste barrels.

In the far southwest, a stairway leads up to the roof of a building where wildmen have set up camp. This camp is also adjacent to Wernher's Hideout. A catwalk east of the camp leads north over a warehouse and nearby stairs spiral around a radioactive smokestack. There is a platform with four Protectrons in their pods. Nearby there's a terminal that can be used to activate them with a 75 Science skill. The robots are not hostile to the player character and will kill nearby Trogs and Wildmen.

FO3 Ingottem 2 8.jpg 3 Activating the switch at the 'end' of the Supply Plant opens the shortcut back to the entrance, which will close after some time or upon leaving. Return through the Abandoned Area which links the Steelyard and The Mill. At the end of the caged catwalk, the hole in the fence to the right of the door leads to a pair of mine carts. The upright cart has the last three Ingots in it.

The first time entering, these Ingots will be inaccessible. Returning to the area from the Steelyard after collecting at least 10 Ingots will reveal a Trog that has torn a hole in the fence, allowing access to the mine cart.

Notes

  • Several pipes emit jets of flame into the air but this fire will not damage the player character.
  • When the Lone Wanderer enters the Steelyard for the first time they will find John-John attempting to talk to his brother Billy who has turned into a Trog. Billy reacts violently and attacks him. The Lone Wanderer can kill Billy before it kills John-John. Speaking with John-John will only result in the man lamenting his brother's death.

Appearances

The Pitt Steelyard appears only in the Fallout 3 add-on The Pitt.

Bugs

  • Playstation 3Playstation 3 If one does not find Wild Bill the first time they enter the Steelyard, he may be lost forever. This makes it impossible to get his unique weapon, Wild Bill's Sidearm, and his note explaining his fate to give to Milly for quest completion and reward. If his body does not appear the first time, re-loading the save at the Steelyard entrance should make him spawn in a reachable location.
  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3 Xbox 360Xbox 360 It is advised to save a lot after reaching the corpse of Wild Bill. A zone (southeast) seems to be messy (no floor) behind the big tower, before reaching the stairs. If one decided to explore the opening between the tower and the wall, there one could see some spherical silos and the floor is "visible" but missing just after. There is a corpse, a Trog and some Ingots on the corner of the floor missing area (the silos are "solid" contrary to the floor).
    • This can be fixed by clearing the console's cache.
    • This might also be fixed by uninstalling the Point Lookout add-on for the duration of visiting the Pitt.
  • PCPC Playstation 3Playstation 3 After visiting the Steelyard more than once to collect Ingots, it may become impossible to enter the Steelyard either via the Mill or via fast travel. The loading screen will continue indefinitely and the game will have to be restarted. Currently, there is no way to stop this bug, rendering the Steelyard inaccessible and anything left to explore or loot there unobtainable.
