This area was built at the site of an old ghost town. The titans of industry and robotics crafted this shining new center of commerce to be the jewel of southeast Appalachia—a fully autonomous city, where robots catered to your every whim. As the more cynical detractors pointed out at the time, there was likely to be a downside if these robots were to ever malfunction. Now Watoga is abandoned aside from a sizable mechanical population. Exercise extreme caution as you explore the rusting towers of the Cranberry Bog Capital; emotionless automatons and extremely long drops are just the start of the threats that abound in these parts!
The city of Watoga encompasses this and the next nine primary locations, all within a low boundary wall that, at least for now, is keeping the Bog at bay. Therefore, information regarding Crafting, Dangers, Items, certain Information, Locked interactions, and Item Examples have been specified for individual locales.
The largest of these is Watoga Towers, an inaccessible residential structure with balcony access from the ground and roof access from the Civic Center, on the city’s northern side. The other minor area is in the southeastern part of the city (just east of the high school); check a monorail station, which includes a tram still hanging from its rail and a possible Magazine to gather near the front of the vehicle.
