El Dorado substation

The El Dorado substation is a location in the Mojave Wasteland .
==Layout==
Situated southwest of Vault 11 and northwest of the El Dorado Dry Lake, the location consists of a single building and a large array of transformers. The building itself is a tall concrete structure with a garage door entrance and a barricaded side door. In front of the building, on its east side, is an empty dumpster and a short distance from the north side's outer wall is a collapsed power line frame. 
There are eight NCR troopers guarding the area, one being a sergeant, some of which may be sleeping in the building. The guard will instruct the player character not to enter the building or the fenced-in area, whereupon if they do, the soldiers will become hostile. No matter what reputation the Courier has with the NCR, the troopers will not allow entrance to either restricted area.
==Notable loot==

==Notes==
* The friendly trooper, once triggered to approach, will chase the Courier until they can deliver the message.
* The soldiers and the sergeant will respawn if killed.
* Using the override chip will result in NCR Infamy.
* If Boone is an companion, he will leave their party as soon as the Courier is detected within the restricted areas. If the areas are accessed covertly after completing I Forgot to Remember to Forget, convincing Boone to be bloodthirsty, he will single-handedly murder every soldier inside the substation control room and remain a companion.
* The gate to the fenced-in area is secured with an Average-locked gate. Even if the lock is successfully picked while hidden, the NCR troopers will still become hostile.
==Appearances==
The El Dorado substation appears only .
==Behind the scenes==
The in-game El Dorado substation is located in the same geographical area as the real-world El Dorado Solar Power Plant substation near Boulder City, Nevada.
==Bugs==
* Inside the substation, the exit will read "Open Garage Door to Crimson Caravan Company" when highlighted. This is aesthetic only and will not result in being transported to the Crimson Caravan Company. 
* The guard may not warn the player to avoid entering restricted areas. The player is free to enter and exit the building without the NCR troopers turning hostile, though they will still gain NCR infamy for using the override chip.
* Sometimes, the soldiers may not spawn at all.
