Characteristics

A chemical substance used mainly for enriching the soil for farming, but in-game is used mostly for creating explosives at the chemistry station.

With the addition of the Contraptions Workshop add-on, it is also used to craft ammo.

Production

Materials:		Requirements:		Produces:
Bag of fertilizer (1)		Workshop		Fertilizer (4) Acid (1)

Locations

Two bags in the back of the Pick-R-Up truck at the hillside home.
For sale at Diamond City Surplus.
Connie Abernathy sells two shipments of 25. There are also several bags inside the Abernathy farmhouse.
Daniel Finch sells a shipment of 25.
Supervisor Greene sells two shipments of 25.
At Greentop Nursery you find 5 bags inside the greenhouse and 3 right outside.
If the Sole Survivor has a brahmin in an allied settlement, such as the one at Abernathy farm or purchasing one from Kelly, then fertilizer will be gathered at a rate of one per day and added to the workbench similar to excess purified water and scrap collected by settlers. If the player character places a brahmin feed trough in a settlement, settlers will bring at least one brahmin. With the Wasteland Workshop add-on, the Sole Survivor can build brahmin cages to capture more brahmin.

Notes

By purchasing or producing fertilizer with brahmins in settlements, the player character can produce Jet for a profit.

Behind the scenes

The use as an ingredient for creating explosives meshes with the real-world chemistry of fertilizer for explosives. Only certain kinds of fertilizer, those with ammonium nitrate, can be used in such a capacity.
