Pulling the Plug

[Amalgamite]

I finished this quest at Thicket Excavations. Will the quarry drain itself now?
I ask this because I need to retrieve a good power armor suit, I had to leave underwater at the time.

[Spec_Ops_Ape]

Yes it does.

[Xilo The Odd]

it takes time though you'll have to come back later. the armor should still be there.

[bunny de fluff]

take out fusion core

[Amalgamite]

Heh so far it's been 2 days real time, just went back there and the quarry still hasn't drained.
Taking out fusion core while it's underwater is no option less I want to spend about 20 radaways. :)

[Stardustfire]

than u must maybe later deal with a raider in it, because raider will invest that place when it is dained

[Amalgamite]

Another real day and the quarry is still filled with water.
Doesn't that Sully know what he's doing?

Take rad-x. Reduces water radiation to ~2/sec. Or just continue to wait for it. I remember a quest brought me back to the place, though I don't remember what quest it was, or even if it was just one of those generic-made ones.

Try spending a few days outside that specific world cell.

[Out Of Bubblegum]

You better use the rad-x, then swim down and remove the core. Otherwise a raider will enter the PA. You cannot get the PA frame off of a dead raider.

Also - what level are you?

Sully probably has very little idea what he is doing :p

[Tin Can]

That tub drains right away. Did you flip the switch? Been awhile since I did this mission, almost sure there is a switch next to sully.

[Atomicdeath]

Swim down, hop in it, open the console and type TCL.

Enjoy.

Stop going back. Everytime you go back the game resets the cell respawn timer. Only once that cell is set to respawn will the scripts to take it to the next quest stage kick in.

AH, unless you have a set of jumpjets on that PA, how do you plan on getting out of that deep now dry hole? [Without using the console that is]

Edit; I might be misunderstanding exactly where you left the PA. I assumed it was where you find Kremvh's Tooth.

*You do know that you will find plenty of other suits of PA, right? Plus, you can buy PA frames and parts in DC and at Atom Cat's garage just north of Quincy.

Get Aqua Boy/Girl removes radiation from water. Also might not be able to get it out without the jetpack, so you might lose the frame.
