About this mod
Turns the unmarked Fens Station near Hangman's Alley into a player home, complete with workshop. I've removed any behavior that treats it as a settlement, for those of us that want a refuge from Preston Garvey and His Merry Band of Needy Assholes.

Okay, so. I love the central location of Hangman's Alley and its nearness to Diamond City; for me, it's become the Commonwealth's Whiterun or Imperial City, one of the main places where I go to unload all my crap and rake in a gazillion caps because no corpse is left un-looted. (The other of course being Goodneighbor.) That said, it's not a very interesting location on its own. Sure, there's plenty of room to build outside, but it doesn't have anything unique going for it. None of the charm of the Starlight, the everything-in-one-place benefits of Sanctuary (which is that far from all the action *why?*), or the strange homeyness of good ol' Red Rocket (about which being the place you meet a *dog* I have made many an off-color joke). It's just a big ugly open space between buildings, which I suppose is kind of the definition of an alley, but still.
Right nearby was a little subway station with nothing but a dead raider, a handful of bloatflies, and depending on the weight of your wallet the entrance to the Tunnel Snakes Rule quest. If you're not interested in playing The Sims But Radioactive, it's the perfect little one or two-man hideaway for you and whatever companion you decide to shack up with (Curie best girl). So I ducked into the GECK, flagged as much as made sense as workshop stackable, and... did exactly nothing else aside from add the workbench.
Things you can do in the Fens Station:
- Build crafting benches!
- Lay out mattresses!
- Put together the world's crappiest underground suburban dream home!
- Park a fleet of power armors in a train!
- Create the perfect love nest for you and your sexy French synth waifu!
Things you shouldn't do in the Fens Station:
- Automatrons. Maybe you'll find a space for the bench, maybe you won't, but it demands an enormous amount of room and I'm not sure there's any place to put it.
- Full-size power armor station. Seriously, space is at a premium down here. A fashion show will fit, but only at the expense of useful crafting space.
- From an immersion perspective I'd go with "build combustion-powered generators," but that's just my obsession with verisimilitude. Maybe put it up by the front door?
- Set up lawn flamingos. You can't trust them. Always watching with their beady little eyes. They're actually daedra of Sheogorath, come to steal your cheese.
