Henry Steel Mills is a neighborhood of Steelport.
Overview[]
Henry Steel Mills is a neighborhood that makes up the island north of Loren Square. This neighborhood has many tall buildings and a few steel mills on the northern end of the island for which the island is named after.
One skyscraper is the Syndicate Tower, headquarters of the Morningstar, and the tallest building in Steelport.
Locations[]
Henry Steel Mills is home to a Friendly Fire, Image As Designed, Rim Jobs, and Rusty's Needle. In addition, the Henry Steel Wharf property is located to the north. Activities include Professor Genki's Super Ethical Reality Climax and Guardian Angel.
Northwest of the Trafficking activity is a small building with a sign "Payne's Place - keep off the mud". The sound of barking dogs comes from inside the building. There are also 2 Toads parked outside.
Changes Between Games (SRTT & SRIV)[]
The transition from SRTT to SRIV ingrained a number of changes to the map. Out of all neighbourhoods that make up the entirety of Downtown, Henry Steel Mills sees the least amount of change. In this case, it can take some effort to notice any subtle changes to the world. The differences include, but aren't limited to:
- The Syndicate Tower, once held by Phillipe Loren, is succeeded by an alien Tower, a fabrication introduced by Emperor Zinyak of the Zin Empire. Unlike the former monolith, the extra-terrestrial building is notably much shorter; sporting a Zin Mothership at its apex. Rubble parades the base surrounding the exterior. Narratively, the new tower is still called "Syndicate Tower", despite obvious discrepancies.
- The two factory blocks below the two Northern piers are completely reworked. The shaft on a diagonal track from East to West above the road is no longer present. The waste pile in the Southeast remains default in its unkempt state, however.
- The church near the main plaza has been removed in favor of a tiled lot with a bridge running vertically between two grouped plots of trees.
- The base of the central trees clip through their respective housings rather noticeably.
- The Syndicate stars scattered around the plaza grounds have been overridden by emblems heralding the Zin Empire.
- The slim building beside the Thunder Pump facing toward the Syndicate Tower has been replaced by another generic building. This building already exists locally in both games, just off to the left of the elevated water jump on the way to Syndicate Tower.
Trivia[]
- Payne's Place is named after David Payne, the Weapons and Props Art Lead.
- This neighbourhood is the only Downtown neighbourhood not to be declared a restricted area after the sinking of the Thermopylae during the My Name is Cyrus Temple mission.
- To the west of the east dock in Saints Row: The Third, an Estrada spawns in a boat spawning location.[1]
- North of Henry Steel Mills in Saints Row IV is an area of water defined as an "Alien Controlled Hood".[2]
- In both Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV, several traffic lights intersections South and Southwest of Syndicate Tower have visual bugs, with all three light signals illuminating at all times, but otherwise directing traffic as normal. During certain times of day, this can be challenging to read.
- Although Downtown's Tram service extends well into Henry Steel Mills, no boarding stations exist to accommodate it in the neighbourhood.
