Locating Cork

Cork can be obtained through scrapping specific items scattered throughout Fallout 4's world or purchased from vendors specializing in junk items. For those focusing on settlement building or enhancing their gear, cork is particularly valuable due to its versatility in crafting.

Scrapping for Cork

To acquire cork through scrapping, keep an eye out for items like baseballs, globes, and crystal liquor decanters. Scraping these items yields cork, with some items offering multiple pieces:

Baseballs and Globes: Each baseball or globe typically provides two pieces of cork. They are commonly found in various locations across the Commonwealth.
Crystal Liquor Decanter: This item yields cork and can be found in specific locations such as the Cabot House.

The Scrapper perk significantly boosts the amount of materials gained from scrapping miscellaneous items, making it a valuable investment for scavenging enthusiasts.

Purchasing Cork

For those who prefer to buy rather than scavenge, several vendors specialize in selling junk items that include cork:

Trashcan Carla: Known for her travels through Sanctuary Hills and Drumlin Diner, Carla often stocks baseballs and globes.
Moe Cronin: Operates a baseball-themed shop in Diamond City Market and offers shipments containing 25 pieces of cork.

Cork Shipments

If you require large quantities of cork for extensive crafting projects or settlement expansions, consider purchasing cork shipments from vendors:

Moe Cronin (Diamond City Market): Offers shipments comprising 25 pieces of cork.
Penny Fitzgerald (Covenant): Also provides shipments containing 25 pieces of cork, catering to players who need bulk materials for ambitious building plans.

These shipments can be bought as shipment notes and then redeemed at your settlement's workshop, streamlining the process of acquiring bulk materials needed for crafting and construction.
