📋 About This Mod
Q6giiUXcuCM
- Vault-Tec's Advanced Reverse Osmosis and Drilling unit is a powerful water purifier, capable of being installed on water or land.
- Equivalent to 25 industrial purifiers, but at a 20% component and power discount.
- A perk mag (location in video above) unlocks the ability to build the AROD.
- From pot shots to mini nukes, the AROD has military grade armour plating protecting it from destruction.
- Standalone files and records, meaning there should be no mod conflicts.
This is my first mod, woohoo! The idea behind the AROD is to clean up settlements by having a singular powered water purifier, as opposed to many smaller ones. I did my best to make the AROD lore friendly, all the while offering benefits in Fallout 4 I've wanted to see for the last couple years.
Adds the AROD water purifier to Fallout 4, installable on water or land. A perk magazine (location shown in video) unlocks the build recipe. Popular with 2,540 endorsements, last updated in 2018.
