Fallout 4 Root Cellarl [UPDATED]

The root cellar is man-made underground shelter built under a neighboring property, two houses up from The House of Tomorrow in 2287. It also looks like that the previous owner was not accepted into a vault so he made his own vault for the bombs.

There's an easy-to-miss root cellar in Sanctuary behind one of the houses, and it contains an advanced safe, a first-aid container, a toolbox, and a wooden crate. Since loot spawns when you enter a new area, and loot is randomized, there might be a chance of the crate spawning a microscope or camera (I'm not skilled enough to pick the safe's lock, and probably won't be for some time). If I save before I enter the cellar, and then reload that save and enter again, maybe one of those crystal-bearing items will turn up eventually.

The best all-around protection officials said, was an underground shelter with at least three feet of earth or sand covering it. Two feet of concrete would give the same protection. Adding an adequate door plus an air filter cut the danger from fallout "almost down to zero." Radiation measuring devices could be added to the shelter. They sold for about $20 and had been tested and approved by the civil defense authorities.

Harry Purcell, the Custer County civil defense chairman, said that Soviet atmospheric testing of atomic warheads and the tense Berlin situation did a lot to make people think about fallout and the need for shelters.

Central Nebraska, was in between the SAC and missile bases in the east and the missile bases in the west, but the people there were still worried about being on the fringe of the radiation and fallout zones. The protection measures suggested for eastern Nebraska farmers living near a major military target such as Offutt Air Force Base were more elaborate.

Also, missiles had been known to fall far away from their intended targets. If central Nebraska were hit by a missile carrying an atomic warhead, there would be no warning and little could be done to prepare for it. Still, the main concern was preparing for fallout brought in by prevailing winds from atomic attacks on military targets in Wyoming, Colorado, South Dakota, and eastern and western Nebraska.

In planning for civil defense, officials predicted that most central Nebraska communities would have several hours warning after an attack on these top military targets before fallout would start sifting down in central Nebraska.

Well I remember people having issues of being stuck in the Sanctuary root cellar after installing Far Harbor. They had a mod called Oil Rig or something like that installed. After removing that mod they were then able to get out of the root cellar. If you happen to have that mod installed try removing it and see if it helps.

Dry for some stuff, like winter squashes. Apples and potatoes store best in a root cellar at about 90-95% humidity. Lack of building materials isn't the only reason many of the old ones had a dirt floor, it served a purpose of keeping the humidity up (if it got a little dry you just wet the floor). The down side is that little furry mammals can burrow in and munch on your provisions. Coarse gravel on the floor alleviates that somewhat while still enabling humidity control.

I'm in the same boat...just recently became obsessed with root cellaring. I don't have much advice, being new myself, but I'm in the middle of this book and it seems to be a great source of info, both on design and building various types of cellars but also as a reference for what to plant when, and how to store it.

Here's a link to a pdf about cellaring to add to what you must already have:

It looks pretty flat where you are and snow drifting might not be a problem, but I'd just say be mindful that you need to get into the cellar when there's snow on the ground.

I just built a pantry in a space between my house and garage. It was already insulated on three sides so I needed to put in the floor, remaining wall and roof- all insulated, of course. It will NOT be heated and I hope will serve somewhat a root cellar. And, I don't have to dig through the snow to get there.

And lastly, we recently dried some strawberries and were discussing various ways to preserve stuff. One of the suggestions was vacuum packing and we arrived at evacuating a mason jar by drilling a hole of appropriate size in the lid, inserting one of the rubber stoppers use to evacuate air from a bottle of wine and then used the hand pump to pump the air out and now have strawberries dried and in a vacuum mason jar

In the 1970s, I helped my father a build a root cellar in our backyard. This was stimulated by the availability of beams from a neighbor's house that was being razed. After I dug the hole, a light foundation was poured, and block walls were laid. 6 x 6 beams were used for the roof, covered by tar paper and earth. Two ventilation stacks were placed. This was very good for potatoes, fair for onions and carrots and so-so for squash. We used this extensively to age beef, elk, deer, and pronghorn.

Last year one of my father's dogs was walking over the root cellar when the roof failed, causing a spinal cord injury.

Nobody builds root cellars as such around here any more,but there are many barns built with basements sunk deep into into hillsides.We have such a masonry barn on our place and we use the basement as our root cellar.

My dream root cellar is a combo tornado shelter, food storage and sleeping lair for when the weather is too hot or cold if the electricity is out or I want to conserve energy. Ideally it would be at least 8' X 15.

I don't know how long you would be able to keep it at refrigerator temps as it warms up in the spring -- an acquaintance that has since passed paid particular attention to the venting in his root cellar, and it was cold well up into the summer. He complained about kids going into it because opening the door too much warmed it up.

4 season gardening by elliot coleman has a design for making a root cellar in a basement. it is basically an insulated-from the basement- concrete block room with outside vent/cold air entry. he has great info on root cellaring there.

For a start several people survived the Melbourne bushfires in pre-built bunkers. Note that more than 100 people perished in their homes and nearly as many trying to escape by car. The cellar could also be a refuge in a heatwave. It can block out the sound of noisy neighbours assuming you didn't get invited to the party. Lastly you might want to store root vegetables. I suspect that a pit suitable for growing mushrooms would be too damp and mouldy for habitation.

Please take this advice seriously.

Many people have suffocated due to gas (mainly CO2) build up in root cellars.

Other than that good luck with it all. We stored all of our potatoes, carrots, beets onions and cabbage in our cellar in northern Ontario in the 1950s and 60s.

Make it as big as you can, relocate your dwelling into it, with section rooms seperated off to one side for roots, another room for fruits. Different zones for different products. Done right, with vents and Super insulation, you could heat it with a candle. With that amount of money, barter and trade for labor and goods. Think in a different direction from your current mindset. Get off the machine mind set. Natural materials. You will be protected from the coming storm, unlike so many others. Those that learn to live underground will be the ones who will survive the coming days.

If you have a basement that is unfinished (or at least partially so), consider building a basement root cellar. Best if you build in a corner where the basement walls are mostly below ground level, to the size you project you will need. The interior walls are insulated to keep the root cellar at the ground temperature, adjusted by the amount of winter air you choose to bring in.

My mother grew up on a farm in the Depression that had both a root cellar under the kitchen as well as a "hole in the hill" storage for more space. The hole in the hill was described as having a door much like the one pictured in your intro, with a floor covered with straw. Turnips, beets, onions, and likely other items were laid out on the straw, then another layer of straw was added, then another layer of vegetables, and so forth. The root cellar was used for carrots (in buckets of moist sand), herbs (after they had been dried), mason jar canned goods, crocks (sausage?) and other items I cannot recall. I know they killed one or more pigs in late November as a regular practice, so I'm speculating the crocks contained sausage (though there was also a smokehouse at one time).

I had a root cellar similar to this built in my basement last winter--too late to really use, but I did have the opportunity to experiment with temperature control. I live in Missouri, where winter weather can be quite variable. You definitely need ventilation. The book that has been linked above is invaluable for explaining how to use 2 pipes to create air circulation, and it really does work well. I kept my root cellar temperature in the low 40s most of the winter. It is warm now, in the Midwest summer, of course.

The thing that seems the most complicated to me is the variable temperature and humidity requirements for different crops, but the book again has good tables listing what does best under what conditions, and my plan is to try to find some sort of happy medium with the crops I plan to store. Their general advice is that onions and squashes are better in a drier, warmer place than the root cellar itself.

It wasn't a root cellar (that was in the basement, cooled by a shallow underground stream) but my dad says that back on the farm in Ontario, Canada, they used to store their potatoes & other root vegetables right out in the garden. They dug a shallow pit (I think about 3' deep), lined it with a thick layer of hay, then started layering in the vegetables. I believe he said they laid the potatoes about 3" apart from each other. After each layer of vegetables, they put another layer of hay, and built up a pile this way. More hay and then a thin layer of soil was placed on top. A flagpole was stuck in the top so they would be able to find it in the winter when the snow was deep. Apparently it worked quite well through the winter season. be457b7860
