Flatwoods

Flatwoods is a town in the Forest region of Appalachia .
==Background==
A town on the Flatwoods River, known for tales of its namesake monster. Entryway signs reading "Home of the Green Monster" can be found at the town's entryways. The only current residents of Flatwoods are Heather Ellis and her dog, Chloe, who are attempting to rebuild the Responders using the equipment the original group left behind.Fallout 76 loading screens: "In pre-war West Virginia, near the town of Flatwoods, many claimed to see a dark, mysterious figure with glowing eyes. Was this Flatwoods Monster some kind of demon? Or something far worse?"Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide p. 290: "14. FLATWOODSThis rural town was home to a group of maverick holdouts with a willingness to help others, a ragtag bunch known as the Responders. Sadly, they are all departed, but their legacy lives on: As you pass under the bridge from Green Country Lodge, the main drag is Church Street, named after the Church ("Command Post") with a trading robot, Overseer's Cache. There are also Responder quest terminals inside, including the Responders Database and a lab terminal (as well as a couple of Chemistry Stations).Check the Flatwoods Tavern ("Volunteers Needed") for two Self-Serve Registration Kiosks (to begin your work as a volunteer), as well as a holotape, a Kitchen Terminal (0), and an Automated Pantry you can donate to. Upstairs is another holotape.Reverend Winters's trailer is also here; search inside for clues during the Responder Quest: Second Helpings. Along the western side of town runs a river. Seek out Kesha McDermott here; she was testing the water supply. On the far south side of town, across the road, are military tents, the Community Garden (with Water Pump), and the Red Rocket Gas Station ("Supplies"), where you find a Stash Box.Perhaps your questing might reveal the secrets of the Flatwoods Green Monster? Start with Nurse Scott's Holotape.There are 10 Survivor Story holotapes in Flatwoods, most of which are on the corpses of the deceased Responders and refugees. There are a couple in coolers, chests, and on tables as well."(Fallout 76 Vault Dweller's Survival Guide Atlas of Appalachia)
After the War, the Responders settled here in an attempt to help survivors. The local reverend, Delbert Winters, born and raised in Flatwoods, offered to volunteer as well as provided his church as a location for their outpost. The group began to offer training, shelter, food, water, and a purpose to the survivors of the Great War.Survivor story: Rev.

==Layout==
Flatwoods is a small town with two main roadways - Church Street and Bridge Road. Heading south from the overseer's camp, the road leads past the Green Country Lodge and a house where the body of Willie Mae is found. 
Heading under the Green Country Bridge, the church and tavern come into view. Bridge Road is a left hand turn from here, and to the right is the house in which Sofie Yates' remains are found. Down Bridge Road, both Colonel and Jeremiah Ward are found deceased in houses to the left. Vesta's Housewares is located on the right. Heading west down State Route 86B leads to the Vault-Tec Agricultural Research Center across a bridge over the Flatwoods River. 
Continuing on Church Street leads to the meeting hall, a yellow house with a tinker's workbench and a weapons workbench, and the Responder command center at the church, and the Flatwoods Tavern. The tavern has two floors, with a large cooking area established in the adjacent parking lot where Rev. Delbert Winters taught residents how to cook after he encountered survivors eating "raw rat carcass behind a dumpster." The automated training kiosks are set against the northeastern wall on the first floor, offering training as a Responder volunteer for anyone willing to join the group or passing through town.
Past the tavern is a parking lot with a cooking station and moving forward leads to the trailer of Delbert Winters, inside of which his remains are found. On the south side of town is a Red Rocket gas station that has a stash box within it and a tinker's workbench on the outside/rear. A few feral ghouls linger around the Red Rocket.
South of the Flatwoods Tavern are several more locations including the house where Nurse Scott's body is found, the community garden, and a tent campsite. Several harvestable items can be found in the garden, including silt beans and mutfruit. The tent city is a mix of destroyed and intact tents and has several ghouls laying on sleeping bags until the Vault Dwellers approach and a mix of crafting and consumable items. The holotape I hate Flatwoods can be found under a white pillow in the white tent on the right of the camp.
