What are the best places to nuke to get the fluxes?

Have the green thumb perk, want to farm for when I make Ultracite ammo

scroll down and it has separate maps for each flux

not currently updated for the newest expansion but still worth it

Your own camp after you've built a big beautiful garden.

You also need glowing mass, hardened mass and high radiation fluids looted from nuked creatures to stabilise any collected flora otherwise it spoils after a short while.

Depends on the colors you need. Lots of yellow and crimson and some violet and fluorescent if you go for the SBQ, especially if you get that succulent forest just west of the prime fissure site. For cobalt, though, the southern Savage Divide or up near Monongah Mine is your target (also a good deal of crimson, yellow, and fluorescent there).

Another cobalt motherlode that most people miss is that hill that's south of the mine you have to nuke for the molerat mother at Nuka-World. Most people just center the nuke on that mine, but if you target it so you just get that mine on the NW edge of the circle you get that hill that's just southeast of that mine and there's tons of cobalt flux raw materials there.

If he needs colbalt he can nuke lake elloise and he'll hit like 50+ silt beans, blood leaf, firecracker berries, and tree sap. Plus a lot of yellow carrot flowers and blackberries cliffside.

Not a good spot for crimson or violet tho.

alternative depending on the weapon you use, is just run DO or expeditions (restart when u clear it out)

Not exactly optimal for some weapons, but others is easymode to very quick ammo collecting.

Yes get these first. As someone who has crafted well over 1k of each flux, always get enough of your 3 flux crafting materials first.

No point farming the flux plants for them to spoil while you then need to go get the 3 flux crafting materials as you don't have enough. Made that mistake once and never again.

Um, the newest expansion, Skyline Valley, has a protective cloud above it. But for some trees on the edge, the nuke does not touch the ground and Starts "Neurological Warfare", when it hits the red cloud.

Lots of Violet Flux if you nuke the Scorch Beast Queen. Some Cobalt Flux near Earl in a "Colcolossal Problem" out side of Monongah Mine, and toward the Town of Monogah. Other Fluxes are a bit more common. Look around a Nuke Zone, but you need the other materials requirements for the Stable Flux.
