Fallout 4: The Molecular Level - selecting faction
Last update:
You can ask one of three main factions in the game for help in constructing the signal interceptor - Brotherhood of Steel, Railroad or Minutemen. It is an important decision, as you will get their help only after you officially join a faction and complete one or few of its large quests. Walkthrough for faction quests can be found in a separate chapter of this guide. Below you will only find information about the minimum requirements of cooperation with a faction - to the point of securing access to its scientist who will check the plans obtained from Virgil.
Cooperation with Brotherhood of Steel
If you intend to ask the Brotherhood of Steel for help in building the signal interceptor, then you will have to complete more faction quests than in case of other groups. Below is the list of faction quests that you must complete:
- Reveille
- Fire Support
- Call to Arms
- Semper Invicta
- Shadow of Steel
- Tour of Duty
- Show no Mercy
During the final part of the Show no mercy quest you will be forced to return to the deck of the flying ship of the Brotherhood, Prydwen (it will happen after you take care of the supermutants that were occupying the fort). Meet with elder Maxson on the airship and talk with him about the plans of the signal interceptor. He will send you to proctor Ingram who is Brotherhood of Steel's expert in new technologies.
Proctor Ingram can be found on the surface, so you must leave the Brotherhood's airship. Talk with her and give her the plans you received from Virgil. First she will give you instructions about how to build Stabilized Reflector Platform.
You can construct the platform and other parts of the teleport in the place pointed by Ingram, in the airport hangar. But you can also start building the construction in any other of the unlocked settlements, for example in the Sanctuary. All steps required for building the teleport are described on the next page of the guide.
Cooperation with the Railroad
If you decide to ask the Railroad for help, then you will have to complete only one new quest for that faction - Tradecraft (Road to Freedom, the "starting" quest of the Railroad, you have completed previously).
After completing the Tradecraft quest and officially joining the Railroad faction, meet with Desdemona in Railroad H.Q. located under the Old North Church. Talk about having the signal interceptor plans. Desmona will send you to Tinker Tom who is Railroad's expert in new technologies.
Tinker Tom can be found in Railroad H.Q., so you won't have to search for him too long. Talk with him and give him the plans you received from Virgil. First he will give you instructions about how to build Stabilized Reflector Platform.
Constructing the platform and other parts of the teleport requires some free space. Tom will suggest talking to the PAM robot in the H.Q. and completing the Mercer Safehouse optional quest that will provide you with a hideout with free space for building the teleport. You can also start building the construction in any of the already unlocked settlements, for example in the Sanctuary. All steps required for building the teleport are described on the next page of the guide.
Cooperation with the Minutemen
If you intend to ask Minutemen for help in building the signal interceptor, then you will have to complete few first quests of this faction. Below you will find a list of quests that you must complete:
- When Freedom Calls
- The First Step
- Sanctuary
- Taking Independence
Meet with Preston Garvey after completing the Taking Independence quest in his current residing place - it will probably be the Castle where you fought the mirelurks queen. During the meeting with Preston, talk about the plans of the signal interceptor. He will send you to Sturges, who is Minutemen's expert in new technologies.
Sturges can be found in one of few locations. The most probable place where you can find him is the Sanctuary. Talk with Sturges and give him the plans you received from Virgil. First he will give you instructions about how to build Stabilized Reflector Platform.
You can start building the signal interceptor in Sanctuary or in any other unlocked settlement. All steps required for building the teleport are described on the next page of the guide.
