How close does the game get to the real place?
In the game
A pre-war military research base guarded by robots and automated defences, where the Chosen One can find weapons and build the robot companion Skynet.
The real place
The game's depot is based on the real Sierra Army Depot near Herlong in Lassen County, a US Army post that has stored and maintained military equipment since the Second World War.
Visiting
It is an active military installation and closed to the public, so the photo is an aerial view. Honey Lake and the high desert along US Route 395 give a sense of the setting.
