The game will tell you to build storage space for them but you already have ample space in the form of your dwellers themselves. If you’re sending your vault dwellers out regularly they’ll be bringing back a lot of guns and armour. Timers still run but your dwellers won’t eat all of your food and drink all your water if you’re away from your phone for the weekend. If you’re worried that your vault will go to pot without you knowing, don’t: when you’re away from the game for long enough it closes down the activity of the dwellers until you come back. As such you’ll probably want to turn off the notifications on your iPhone unless you want to be bombarded with messages. A fully manned and upgraded utility room usually produces resources every two to three minutes. Whereas in Clash of Clans you might be waiting a day or two for that new building, in this game the turnaround times are much shorter. Even when you need to expand, try to tailor it so that you can create more three-block rooms later.įallout Shelter isn’t like most other freemium games. Aim to have your power, diner and water treatment plant up to full size (three blocks) and fully manned at all times. Not only does this increase its output, it allows you to man the room with more dwellers.

This is when you place two rooms of the same type (and level) next to each other.

You should always combine your rooms together. I always aim to have my utility rooms three blocks wide and at level 2 before I undertake any massive expansion of my vault. Are you consistently well above your targets for food, power and water? Perhaps those caps of yours would be better spent in upgrading your current infrastructure. So you have 10 dwellers and a nice amount of caps rolling in, surely now is the time to get them all breeding and to pop out a couple of mini-dwellers? Maybe it is, but take a step back for a second before you start filling your fault with more hungry mouths to feed. I’ve put quite a few hours in Fallout Shelter (perhaps too many) and so I thought I would write up a handy guide to help people who are struggling to get past their first 20 vault dwellers.

That hasn’t stopped many from having trouble with the game, however, even those who could claim themselves to be veterans of the freemium mobile market. It seems that no Fallout fan can do without this little app centred on building your very own vault.
