Recruit Dogmeat and claim the Red Rocket Truck Stop as a settlement in fallout 4. Explore the nearby Mole Rat Den for loot.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Find Dogmeat in the parking lot of the Red Rocket Truck Stop. React favorably when he approaches to make him your first traveling companion.
  2. 2
    Explore the Red Rocket Truck Stop. You will find numerous items in the garage and store, and crafting stations surrounding the building: a Weapons Workbench and a Power Armor Station in the garage, a Cooking Station and Armor Workbench out back, and a Chemistry Station along the side.
  3. 3
    Inside the manager's office, find the Red Rocket Terminal. Check the _[Business Entries]_ and _[Safe Storage]_ entries to learn about a nearby cave, the Mole Rat Den.
  4. 4
    In the garage, find the Workshop and interact with it to claim the Red Rocket Truck Stop as a settlement.
  5. 5
    Warning: Claiming the settlement will provoke a nest of Mole Rats to surface and attack. Fend them off with Dogmeat's help.
  6. 6
    Head south from the Red Rocket Truck Stop to find the Mole Rat Den cave. Venture north inside until you reach a central chamber occupied by several Mole Rats. Exterminate them.
  7. 7
    Loot the fungus-covered central pit in the Mole Rat Den.
  8. 8
    Explore two side-passages to the northeast of the central chamber. In the easternmost passage, you will catch some Rads but can find the 'Trashbuster’s Reward' note on a crate and a Fusion Core.
  9. 9
    In the western side-passage, find a Duffle Bag containing loot.
  10. 10
    In another side-tunnel to the west of the main chamber, encounter a leveled Mole Rat. Defeat it and loot its chamber to find a Safe [Novice].
Tips
  • Dogmeat is not a highly competent combat ally but can bite enemies, sometimes restraining them or taking them out if they are prone. He can soak up bullets for you.
  • The Red Rocket Truck Stop has a Weapons Workbench, Power Armor Station, Cooking Station, Armor Workbench, and Chemistry Station.
  • The Red Rocket Truck Stop has limited building space within the main structure and a parking lot with mixed utility for crops. There is no freestanding source of water, so Water Purifiers cannot be used.
  • To maximize building space, consider building on the relatively flat roof of the gas station building. You can fit 4x6 Shack Foundations atop it. Use stairs to reach your rooftop shack.
  • An elevated structure on the roof can provide a good vantage point for turrets, making the settlement easier to manage.
  • The Mole Rat Den is a small cave where pre-war inhabitants stashed garbage.
  • The easternmost passage in the Mole Rat Den contains Rads.
  • The leveled Mole Rat in the Mole Rat Den is significantly stronger than the others.
