Fallout 4 - "Soylent Green" Mod

[Aubrielle]

Modders are already hard at work on Fallout 4's new Contraptions DLC. One creative mind has even made a mod that helps you "recycle" meat into Soylent Green.

Bon appetit.

​

If you've spent some time in Fallout 4 you've no doubt produced a lot of, well... meat. All the creatures you've killed, not to mention all the people, add up to a heck of a lot of flesh, bone, and blood. Considering it's the post-apocalypse, you should really be recycling as much as possible, and thanks to two mods for the Contraptions Workshop DLC, now you can have machines butcher all the meat and produce delicious and nutritious Soylent Green.

Your first stop should be the Manufacturing Extended mod, by Kentington. Forget for a moment that we've been talking about grinding up humans for food: this is a great mod that will enhance your settlements' factories. It adds a number of goodies, like conveyors that will both take junk directly from your workshop's inventory and deposit completed items back into it (why this feature wasn't in the DLC itself, I honestly can't imagine). It adds other machines like looms that will create Vault outfits and faction gear, a power armor forge, a distillery for manufacturing cola and booze, and forges for melee and fist weapons.

It also adds an auto-butcher. Hook a conveyor belt up to it, put a corpse on it (animal or human), and it'll break it down into meat, bone, leather, and other products depending on the type of body you're processing. Sure, it's a little grim, but this is a pretty grim world, and we haven't even gotten to the grimmest bit.

There's a mod for the Manufacturing Extended mod that will let you use the auto-butcher to produce Soylent Green (you'll need to be logged in to view it), the famous food rations from the film of the same name, made of (spoiler alert) people. It also can make dog food (mutant or ghoul flavor) and food paste. You can even use it to make a new decoration: a skull candle.

You'll need the Fallout 4 Contraptions Workshop DLC to chow down. And hey, don't think of yourself as a cannibal. You're just a people person.

While I hated FO3, I love Fallout4 and it's not a secret.
The release version, with norespawn and proper dialogue mod.

Soylent Green is a masterpiece everyone should watch during lifetime. IMO it deserves a game of it's own, not just a mod (besides, there is a sidequest in FO4 release version that's hinting on it already).

Love Soylent Green. Charlton Heston at his plot-twist-shouting best.

 

[Lucky Day]

Yes, but is it Prime Choice Select?

The film Soylent green definitely a masterpiece, though has maybe not aged too well. I love 70s and 80s sci-fi, possibly even more than RPGs. I remember crying as kid watching Silent Running when Drone 3 got knocked into space in by an asteroid Part of me really wants them all those old films to be re-made, though I know they would only just ruin them.

 

[Capt. Huggy Face]

It's aged fine, I think. The only thing that stands out is the apartment of the future looks like one from the 60s. But, hey, the same is true of the brilliant "A Clockwork Orange," aside from the giant phallic art.

Yeah, but what was in the soylent red?

 

[Lucky Day]

Yeah, but what was in the soylent red?

plankton. the same as soylent yellow.

 

[rjshae]

plankton. the same as soylent yellow.

That's what they said about Soylent Green. Hmm?

 

[Capt. Huggy Face]

But no one likes Soylent Yellow or Red. They all get in endless lines for the Green. "Remember, Tuesday is Soylent Green day."

I have a T-shirt that says that.
