In WV the nuclear silos are automated to continually produce nukes as long as the automated DEFCON system is at 1. The "President" (the crazed anti-Communist Secretary of Agriculture who is part of an elite secret society) eventually does it when he realises that the system thinks the giant mutated bats (which came from the systematic nuking of mining sites to produce a powerful ore) are a Chinese invasion.
The bats are all diseased and spread something called the Scorched plague which turns your skin red before eventually calcifying your entire body. It basically ends up wiping out the entire population of West Virginia.
Also looking back on it, it's a story about a disease that came from a bat wiping out a US state that was basically allowed to happen because of insane politicians. No real life parallels there haha (yeah I know it wasn't necessarily a bat, let me have this one please)
It's a lot better now in those last two points. Quests involve actual characters now and are great fun imo. The rebuilding is basically in the Wastelanders questline where you basically help do exactly that.
If you still have it you could always give it another go. It's still the same base game of course, but the additions to the world have felt pretty natural.
What game was the bio-apocalypse from?
Fallout 76.
