Assign 22 dwellers to the right room? All my dwellers are in the right roomwish they'd fix that task
Yeah, so many of these objectives are, at the best, trivial. If you've got so many pregnant women, getting a pregnancy objective could stagnate for a while. At least with assigning the right job or equipping people, you can unequip/assign and redo it.

My shelter was looking great - almost 100% happiness
Then I went to work for 8 hours and everything turned to shit. I mow can't keep all the parameters up, everyone had radiation poisoning and overall happiness us less than 15%
I know you've quit already, but as long as you keep the rate of production above consumption you'll never have this problem when you come back.

I'm trying to do the same. I stopped growing the pop at 60 and just rotate like 20 people around each training room to make them well rounded. Then the next step will be to get them XP in the production rooms to level them up to 20+ and send them out to the wasteland.
I sent a level 15ish guy out with an auto shotgun but after 12 hours he reached a point where he couldn't kill any of the high lvl enemies and ran from every fight. I'm guessing the super soldiers will have better results.

Is the Radio Studio pretty much random? I set an alarm and came back for the countdown timer running out, expecting someone to show up, and nothing.
i was hoping that once I unlocked the nuke cola plant that it would kill off your vault or something, but no such luck. end game seems to just be collect all the lunchbox cards
Deleted the game on my second day so I wouldn't open it up BC every time I did the game play wasn't fun. It was just a bunch of slot machine sounds.
I van see the appeal of having aindless cellphone game but I'd rather spent that time better.
Did it make me excited for fallout 4? Hell yes.

Is anyone else a little disappointed that you can't build Fallout robots like Mr. Handy or a Protectron? It would be awesome if a production room churned out robots with a skill level and lifespan determined by the intelligence of the people working in the shop. They could consume power instead of food/water and act as guards or temporary boosters for the room they're in.
I think once I near 200 dwellers, I'm going to see how deep I can build. It seems like there's more vertical space than you can even support with 200 dwellers. Maybe if I built power plants all the way down?

Quite enjoy this game, my only complaint is the fucking dragging vault dwellers to where you want them seems so finicky. Wish I could just click where I want them.
1. Don't leave the game without all meters full. It seems to take off a set amount no matter how long you've been away from the game.
2. Sell BB guns they're useless
3. Try to always have your required resource meters at half or less
4. Always have at least 10 stimpacks. Radroach insurance.
5. Let fires spread if they start in an empty room. They go out by themselves and the rooms around it will get xp for putting them out.
6. Don't let radroach infestations spread. This can quickly deplete your stimpack supply.
7. Dont baby boom. Slowly increase your population.
8. Keep around 2-4 strong weapons in storage. Distribute these when under attack. It'll speed up defence times. Take them back when you're done.
9. Upgrade your vault door ASAP if you don't have guards. That extra time lets you have your guards somewhere else training up.
10. Make your own goal this game has no depth so you need your own mission. Mine is currently to raise all specials to max and have super soldiers explore the wasteland for weeks.

Same here. The small phone screen makes it tough.

This game is like Tiny Tower but more fun! I've never played it but I played Tiny Death Star for a while. Not a bad Star Wars game.
Enjoying this one so far.

Whats the point in adding dwellers to the storage room?
so that they dont wander around
seriously, the reason given in the help is that it is for storing dwellers: "use the storage room as a temporary holding bay for dwellers in case all other rooms are full"

Since I spent so much time on this and didn't buy a single thing from the Steam sale, I pulled the trigger on 40 lunchboxes (I know).
Got mostly weapons and caps, and a few super dwellers. One of em was level 36 and with every SPECIAL stat almost capped. The others just had one specific stat really high.
Wouldn't recommend buying lunchboxes to anyone. Too random. I'd say a good half of these lunch boxes were mainly caps/stims/ok weapons.

Can you play this game on multiple devices?
My Game Center won't log me on in my other device...

Welp, that was fun while it lasted. There really is no point to anything after you have all the rooms unlocked. Still want a full-fledged version of this. It would make for an awesome, awesome sim type PC game.

I hope there is some kind of cross-functionality with Fallout 4.
Should've gotten the 15 lunch box tier, that one seems bugged as it gives you 30 instead
. Happened to me and someone else in the thread already. Wonder if they fixed it.But yeah agreed, I already kind of regret spending that 10 euro. I got some cool NPCs, outfits and weapons but most of it was garbage.
This War of Mine on Steam is highly similar. I've had it on my wishlist for a long time. And forgot to get it during the summer same.
Is this what the SIMS is like? Jesus it's addictive. I've been travelling and I mildly over extended myself while I was about to touch down for a connecting flight. For the first time in my life, with no other recourse, I purchased lunchboxes in the 30 minutes before flights. Since then I've been smarter about my shelter and it's coming along nicely but even though it was credit used from the App Store, I feel dirty.
Screw those roaches. Do not have a row of empty rooms. By the time my guys got to the room they had spread in 2 directions. By the time they got back to their own rooms they had spread again! 6 rooms all infested! 25 stimpacks and 5 dead dwellers later
My advice, build resource rooms straight down the middle so you always have dwellers in the middle who can run into the room
Edit: Aaaaaand all of a sudden I'm done :| what's up with free to play games? I found the same with tiny tower. Love it, love it, love it ... Wam bored. Always hits like a cannonball. It's a shame but at least I can get back to my less addictive games now
Edit x 2:
Deleted. Amazing game. Like heroin. I'm free now though. Freeeeee

If no one is in a room, the roaches eventually leave but spread to other rooms.
So yeah, it seems that if you have a good balance and are producing enough for your dwellers then being away from the game isn't going to turn everything to shit. But if your dwellers aren't covered appropriately there will be a dumpster fire when you return.
Meh, I have no problem with at least 1 buy in those instances if I feel the game was well made and not hamstrung by forced content purchases. It still took time and resources to make.

My game is pretty much unplayable now that I have 30 inhabitants and 4 levels of rooms.
Fun little game, but not worth the 5 minute load to get into the game just for it to crash a minute in (that is if it even gets into the actual game).
I wish there was a browser version.

I can't even start the game anymore on my 6+.
It just keeps on crashing on the start screen.

I'm loving this game so much. Downloaded the day after their press conference. So far I have 63 population (5 incoming tomorrow morning), have 3 people on hunt at the badlands (great source of income once they are strong enough (around level 20). Overall it starts off really slow but picks up like no other once you start rolling. Had to reset my game 2 times because I fudged up too much and didn't want to keep tearing down / rebuilding. Also, I notice it's pretty much a waste if you have more than 2x (water or dinning). I rather upgrade the stats of my workers which indeed makes the wait for resources a lot smaller. I think I get 49 points every 55 seconds for power and 40 food every min. Just a little food for thought since I have seen so many screenshots of people mass producing their resources.
Overall great and fun game. Playing it on my ipad air 2, I can't play this shit on my 5s lol. (the screen is just way to small).

27 hours.
Oh gosh. I think I had Eulogy Jones out there for about 2 days. 42 hours. He picked up some nice stuff in the second half of his journey. The longer they are out there the more cool stuff they pick up.

I found that endurance makes them last longer and luck makes them find better stuff. But they always seem to find more stuff in the later stages of an outing. So the longer they stay the more then find, and the higher luck, the better it is. So it's more a question of quality vs. quantity.
Yeah, I've had to stop playing.
The bugs are rage inducing:
1. Raiders shooting and killing vault dwellers in rooms 2 levels away from their current room.
2. Vault dwellers not attacking raiders. Just standing there, smiling, holding a pistol.
3. Not being able to select a vault dweller, because there's too much going on I guess.

I don't really understand how production of resources work. Without really changing anything in my vault I go from having plenty of food and barely meeting the minimum for power and water to having max water and barely enough food.

I'm so dang addicted to this game. Right now I have around 55 dwellers. I had to go through hell and back with my vault because of radroche infestation (killed at least 22 dwellers that were level 20 or higher). I saved my ass because I coughed up and bought a lunch box that had a dweller with T-51f power armor and very high stats. Now my vault is running like a well oiled machine.
