Quincy Quarry and Vault 88

[Panda-Bishop]

Did a quick search for the quarry and didn't find any topic on this, so apologies if I'm just beating a dead horse, but I just discovered the amusing fact that the Quincy Quarry is part of Vault 88's aggro zone.

I took a step outside, discovered the raiders had respawned, and within a few seconds of engaging combat I started seeing a laser show in the sky; ran over to check what was going on and discovered all 26 of my settlers had rushed out, laser rifles blazing away, and falling over each other because they're waist deep in radioactive water.

Glad I used the console to set the Essential flag on the unique NPCs, would've been annoyed if they died like that.

Lol...that's kind of funny actually. I wonder if either of the other exits can get that response.

Oddly, as much as I have heard about the quarry raiders respawning, mine never do. Double oddly, instead the raiders in the flooded town just north of there respawn every time I enter the zone along with a few BoS in the church. Every time I walk out the front entrance I see two firefights: on the left the BoS lasers shooting out the church windows and on the right my poor little provisioner from Jamaica Plain pinned down by a raider.

For a while I was running a mod that increased their detection ranges but I was getting aggroed the moment I was visible.
