Project Vulcan was a pre-War Grafton Steel Research and Development project at Grafton Steel Underground to increase steel forge efficiency.[1]
Background[]
One of the three projects undertaken by Grafton Steel, the goal of Project Vulcan was to increase steel yield at the Grafton Steel plant.[2] Potential methods were proposed, such as reducing the size of the forges, increasing their speed and output, or improving forge modularity in order to switch tasks more efficiently. However, little progress was made before the Great War.
Appearances[]
Project Vulcan is mentioned only in the Fallout 76 update Wastelanders.
Behind the scenes[]
- In Roman mythology, Vulcan is the god of metal working and the forge.
- Fallout 76 contains a cut cell, the Vulcan research laboratory, though while Project Vulcan was by an American company, the cell contains Chinese flags, suggesting it's a communist installation.
