This rural town was home to a group of maverick holdouts with a willingness to help others, a ragtag bunch known as the Responders. Sadly, they are all departed, but their legacy lives on: As you pass under the bridge from Green Country Lodge, the main drag is Church Street, named after the Church (“Command Post”) with a trading robot, Overseer’s Cache. There are also Responder quest terminals inside, including the Responders Database and a lab terminal (as well as a couple of Chemistry Stations).
Check the Flatwoods Tavern (“Volunteers Needed”) for two Self-Serve Registration Kiosks (to begin your work as a volunteer), as well as a holotape, a Kitchen Terminal (0), and an Automated Pantry you can donate to. Upstairs is another holotape.
Reverend Winters’s trailer is also here; search inside for clues during the Responder Quest: Second Helpings. Along the western side of town runs a river. Seek out Kesha McDermott here; she was testing the water supply.
On the far south side of town, across the road, are military tents, the Community Garden (with Water Pump), and the Red Rocket Gas Station (“Supplies”),where you find a Stash Box.
Perhaps your questing might reveal the secrets of the Flatwoods Green Monster? Start with Nurse Scott’s Holotape.
There are 10 Survivor Story holotapes in Flatwoods, most of which are on the corpses of the deceased Responders and refugees. There are a couple in coolers, chests, and on tables as well.
