RandomP1ayer Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 This machine has a Carter Hydro badge on it. I'm curious what it supposed to be for? It kinda looks like it could be a boiler of some sort maybe a steam generation unit? Curious if there's any back story to these devices cause it seems like there are multiple smaller ones scattered about the township in various locations. lemme know if you do, thanks.

Serenity Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Always figured it was some sort of generator. Probably not steam, but maybe oil / diesel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManicManiac Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Honestly, I always sort of assumed it served as a transformer for Milton or something like that (considering it's apparently affiliated with Carter Dam). That wouldn't seem out of place considering Milton's water tower is now also in someone's backyard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UpUpAway95 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 To me it looks like a concrete septic tank that hasn't been placed below ground yet... and it was just left on a skid waiting for the ground to thaw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stratvox Posted September 4, 2019 Share Posted September 4, 2019 My thinking has been a wood fired steam electricity generator, and that old man Barker bought it from Carter Hydro as a backup unit for power at the farm. The interesting thing about a wood fired steam engine is that it should be usable after the First Flare, even if the actual dynamo that produces electricity is fried. On the gripping hand it also looks extremely old and reasonably well corroded; I'm not sure I'd want to bring that boiler up to pressure if I was anywhere within a few hundred yards of the thing in case it blew.

TheEldritchGod Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Actually, if you follow the sub plots in the story mode, you find out that Carter is trying to repo the thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
