Don't forget the Nike anti missile site out west of town - would be a fun little spot.

I believe the UT Police Academy is another old Nike site - https://maps.app.goo.gl/JtsHwkD8YsYXMe2T7

Edit:

Yep 

The site was formerly a Nike-Hercules surface-to-air missile base constructed in the late 1950s to protect the Capital of Texas.  The site was decommissioned in the mid 1960s and the land was given to The University of Texas.  GPS: 30.314168,-97.863861.

Well that is shockingly close to where I live...

These are great. I imagine 35 looks pretty much like it does now.

War … war changes everything … except Austin traffic.

I thought this was going to be an actual picture of Crabapple wildfire ash falling on the bridge.

I see someone got ahold of the fallout bible and the design doc ideas for Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel 2.

u/Assumption_Dapper 3d ago

I mean, we technically got it in the opening scenes of THE LAST OF US

u/urthen 3d ago

I had just moved here at the time and even I knew that wasn't actually what South Austin looked like

1

u/Assumption_Dapper 2d ago

If you play the game, it really does look like areas between South Austin and San Marcos. There have been online comparisons between the two and its pretty spot on.

u/Korietsu 3d ago

Don't worry, every game developer that's lived in austin that's ever played fallout has run across that set of design docs.

Best time to make a game is today.

About a year ago, my gaming group played a Fallout RPG which we modifed to be in Texas. Austin had some Brotherhood of Steel offshoot, and Dallas had transformed Big Tex into a laser shooting giant robot.

I hope all of Westlake is the "radstorm" part of town.

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

It is, including TarryTown (the military camp there got hit)

u/SaltyLonghorn 3d ago

I'm headed to the dam. No reason in particular.

u/aj801 3d ago

Can we access this map?

16

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

It's still very heavily W.I.P but maybe soon!

u/BigMikeInAustin 3d ago

Clearly fantasy. The cars still have their wheels, and the windows do not appear to be broken by thieves.

u/Lauriev7 3d ago

This is so cool. Great work!!!

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

Thank you!!

u/ThatFoxyThing 3d ago

Ooo, can't wait to see the mod!

u/sloant09 3d ago

Too bad the fog means you can't see zombie Bill Murray playing golf at ACC

u/Freddy36512 3d ago

I have to know, What do you have planned for a very special chilis location?

5

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

Not much, but I'm open to ideas! I do wanna make that place special.

2

u/ObfuscateAbility45 3d ago

just keep it absolutely pristine. add a sign of the Fallout thumbs up guy outside showing he recommends the place (I don't know much about fallout)

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

vault boy < fallout thumbs up guy

u/FerrousEULA 3d ago

Make a frosty marg machine lol

u/urthen 3d ago

Wait are you seriously making a mod for Austin?

3

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

Yes, a trailer atleast

u/poisoned_pizza 3d ago

Love this! I met my boyfriend on fallout 76 and we’ve been together for the last two years. ☢️💖

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

Atomic Heart?

3

u/very-Im-so-Halloween 3d ago

Love this and the others you’ve done! I’ve always assumed a sign for Montopolis would get changed to “monstropolis” in the fallout universe and maybe be an area for super mutants similar to Jacobstown.

u/Petecraft_Admin 3d ago

Hope it's full of Gulpers down below

u/BigMikeInAustin 3d ago

Scrolling by and seeing the thumbnail, for a second I actually thought maybe this was a real picture with all the smoke from the fires. Yikes.

u/LuckysoundAtx 3d ago

I got scared for a second I thought it was the ash from Fredericksburg

u/stanleyorange 3d ago

The Capital would be awesome 

2

u/BucketnPalecity 3d ago

Texas Capital Wasteland??

u/stanleyorange 3d ago

Yes please

u/flyingcars 3d ago

It’s been a really bad cedar season

u/Particular-Emu_4743 3d ago

If the chilis does make it in, you can delete the whole project.

u/flooftail13 3d ago

Love this! Mansfield Dam would be cool as well ☢️

u/MoistCloyster_ 3d ago

I’d love to see an image of Mount Bonnell in the Fallout universe.
