Nothing fits your belly finer than goodies from a Port-A-Diner!— Radio Play Advert

Port-A-Diners are claw style vending machines in Fallout 4.

Characteristics[]

When activated, Port-A-Diners have a small chance of dispensing a perfectly preserved pie. The machine will not attempt to dispense anything else behind the glass. When activating the Port-A-Diner, if the claw immediately drops down it will result in a failed attempt. Only when the machine is activated and the claw slightly adjusts itself above the pie will it result in a successful attempt.

Locations[]

There are 18 Port-A-Diners scattered throughout the Commonwealth.

Notes[]

  • When a Port-A-Diner is activated, the game generates a random number between 1 and 1000. If that number is less than or equal to the pie will be given. By cumulative probabilities, a player character with Luck 5 has roughly a 50% chance of obtaining the pie within 36 attempts, and roughly the remaining chance of obtaining it between 37-125 attempts.
  • The Port-A-Diner at the Nuka-World junkyard has a 100% chance of giving out a perfectly preserved pie.
  • There is also a clean version of the Port-A-Diner, which is unused in the game. It can still be found in the game files.
  • Obtaining a perfectly preserved pie from a Port-A-Diner in an owned area, such as the Dugout Inn, will be considered stealing.
  • Despite having other options, only the perfectly preserved pie can be claimed. Once claimed the machine will no longer activate.
  • Using the Port-A-Diner in the subway station during The Big Dig, Mel remarks he wouldn't touch the perfectly preserved pie, because he doesn't "trust anything that looks that perfectly preserved after 200 years."[1]

Bugs[]

PCPC Playstation 4Playstation 4 Xbox OneXbox One Sometimes you will not get a pie (Port-A-Diner's container will be empty) even if the mechanical claw successfully took it. This bug appears to be very common in Medford Memorial Hospital.[verified]
