📋 About This Mod

This mod is horribly out of date I would suggest using AlxRam's new version found here. www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/22013/?

The Red Wave is a player owned boat that you can use to travel to a dozen different locations along

the coast and waterways of the Commonwealth. I made this as an alternative to the traditional fast

travel system with the emphasis on lore friendliness. Places like The Castle, Spectacle Island, and

Nordhagen beach are now reachable by boat making them more reasonable settlements for those who do

not use normal fast travel or are playing survival mode. The boat features player storage, a bed,

drinking water and a personal terminal to play holotapes. The Red Wave is free to use and starts at

the docks near The Shamrock Taphouse. The boat works as a great mobile home and means of travel for

people who want a realist way to fast travel.

them all useful and safe for players. Some of the landings are a little ways away from their given

locations this is to ensure player safety on arrival. The boat can travel the the following places:
