Index76

Index76 is in the initial development stage. Systems, pages, and verified data are being added progressively and you may experience navigational errors for the time being. Contributions are still appreciated and welcome during this time. In the event other communication methods are not working and you wish to submit resources, an update, or contact us, you can contact us directly at index76launch@google.com.

Independent Fallout 76 Reference

About Index76

Index76 is my attempt at building a Fallout 76 reference site that puts the information players need in one place, without ads getting in the way.

Fallout 76 has a lot to keep track of, and useful information is often buried on ad-heavy wiki pages, scattered across Reddit posts and Discord servers, outdated, incomplete, or missing entirely. Index76 is meant to make that easier by organizing information in one place, verifying it where possible, and presenting it in a cleaner way.

The site is still in its early stages. Index76 first launched on May 8, 2026, just four days after I had the idea, so some pages are useful now, but many are still missing data, images, or full details. Some sections are still being built from the ground up. I would rather be honest about that than make the project sound more finished than it is.

Right now, Index76 is mostly a reference site. Over time, the goal is to turn it into something more community-oriented and useful, with tools, trackers, checklists, planning features, contribution systems, calculators, route pages, guides, and other resources that players can actually use.

I also want Index76 to become a place where people who enjoy making Fallout 76 content, testing things, finding routes, or sharing discoveries have somewhere to contribute and receive credit.

For now, Index76 is mostly built and maintained by me. As the project grows, I hope the team can grow too — starting with contributors who share resources, information, corrections, and feedback, and eventually expanding into moderators, backend help, data reviewers, and people who can help verify information.

The goal is to build Index76 into something useful with the Fallout 76 community, not just for it.

Submitting Resources

The Contribution Hub helps track what Index76 needs in a way the community can see and use. If you want to help, you can choose what interests you — screenshots, spreadsheets, videos, descriptions, corrections, missing details, or verification work.

You are not limited to what is listed in the Contribution Hub. If you have something useful to share, you can submit it, even if it is not currently listed. That might be a better version of something already on the site, a correction, a farming route, a spreadsheet, a screenshot, or information you have gathered while playing.

What you can submit

Resources may include:

  • Screenshots
  • Item images
  • Location images
  • Maps
  • Videos
  • Vendor information
  • Event notes
  • Plan or recipe details
  • Spawn information
  • Farming routes
  • Corrections to existing pages
  • Missing data
  • Guide drafts
  • Useful references or source material
  • Spreadsheets
  • Community gallery images

Submissions should be relevant to Fallout 76 and useful to the site in some way.

Maps, videos, and gallery content

Index76 pages are built to support more than text. Pages can include maps, videos, and community gallery images when they are useful.

Maps can show spawn locations, regions, farming routes, interior layouts, vendor spots, or anything else that helps explain where something is or how it connects to the game.

Videos can be guides, walkthroughs, route examples, location clips, or simple recordings that show how to find something from a spawn point. These resources can be just as useful as written information.

Community gallery images can show items, locations, creatures, camps, routes, interiors, or other useful Fallout 76 visuals connected to a page.

Submission quality

Submissions do not have to be polished or perfect. It is okay if an image needs the background removed, a screenshot needs cropping, a video needs editing, or a spreadsheet needs cleanup. Just mention that when submitting it.

Helpful submissions usually include:

  • What the resource is about
  • What page or topic it belongs to
  • Where the information came from
  • Whether it is confirmed or still needs checking
  • Any important details, such as event timing, location, server type, season, update version, or conditions

The more context you provide, the easier it is to review and use the resource properly.

Credit and review

Not every submission will be added, and even relevant resources may need to be checked, edited, reformatted, cleaned up, or verified first. That can take time.

If your submission is used, you will receive contribution credit through your account name, or your in-game name if you provide one with the submission.

Submitted content should be your own, or something you have permission to use. Index76 should not be built from stolen images, copied guides, or content taken from other creators without permission.

The goal is to keep Index76 useful, accurate, and consistent rather than adding everything without review.

Contributing Beyond Resources

There are also ways to help beyond submitting a single screenshot, correction, or file.

As Index76 grows, contributors may be able to help with data entry, screenshot collection, page cleanup, guide writing, route documentation, testing tools, reporting bugs, checking outdated information, improving pages, suggesting features, or helping define formatting standards.

Right now, some contribution systems may be handled manually while the site is still being built. Over time, the goal is to make it easier to see what is missing, what needs review, and where help would be most useful.

If you see me in-game, feel free to wave. I may be rushing through dailies, testing something, gathering screenshots, or working on research for the site.

Twitch and YouTube are not being used as regular content channels right now. Twitch is mostly used as a project tool for gathering information, working with others, or keeping footage available during research. So if you see us live and standing at a crafting station for an hour, just know we are working on the site and probably there to verify data.

YouTube is not active as a content channel right now, but it may be used later to host short reference videos for Index76 pages, such as location clips, route examples, or simple how-tos.

Future Plans

Index76 is starting as a Fallout 76 reference site, but the long-term goal is to build something more useful than a static wiki.

The plan is to keep improving the core reference pages while also adding tools, tracking features, community systems, and creator-focused resources over time.

Reference Improvements

  • Better search and filtering
  • More complete item, location, event, creature, and vendor pages
  • Missing data and missing image tracking
  • More visual maps and reference tools
  • Farming route guides
  • Event and vendor references
  • Short page videos, route clips, and how-tos

Player Tools

  • Favorite pages
  • Updates for favorited pages
  • Build tracker
  • Completed build tracker
  • SPECIAL preview interface
  • Buff preview interface
  • Collection log
  • Checklist tools
  • Location and resource tracking

Contribution Features

  • Contribution Hub improvements
  • Screenshot submission systems
  • Public correction submissions
  • Community-submitted resources
  • Contributor badges or profile credit
  • Research article submissions
  • Tools for submitting guides, routes, maps, videos, and spreadsheets

Community Features

  • Official Discord for voting, commenting, feedback, and communication
  • Feature voting and suggestions
  • Community galleries
  • Contributor profiles or credit pages
  • Systems for reviewing and verifying submitted information

Creator-Focused Ideas

  • Optional content suggestions for creators based on site needs or website metrics
  • Suggestions like "this page needs a video," "this route could use a guide," or "players are searching for this topic"
  • Space for creators to submit research articles, guides, videos, and other resources with proper credit
  • Possible support for creator links, video embeds, and affiliate links where appropriate and clearly disclosed

Not every feature will arrive at once, and some ideas may change as the site grows. Index76 is being built step by step, with a focus on keeping the site clean, useful, and organized. The goal is steady progress.
