How much storage do you need?!?!

The little shithead popped up and told me I had low storage space. I checked and have like 170 to spare-easily enough to bring home 5 explorers and some missioners after selling common items. Will this prick ever shut up!?!?!

Anyone leave the quest beforehand re exploring all of the rooms?

Sometimes it seems odd how many rooms are unexplored when you complete the objectives. I'm someone who checks every room, but curious to know how many people bail as soon as the can

Cappy and bottle are weird

Two weird shaped people walk into your vault,like they own the place. Walk all over the place and occasionally stop and just stare at dweller's and pays you for letting them into your vault and staring at people.

Christmas Season is Over! πŸ•ŠοΈ

If anyone was saving their Lunchboxes so as to not get too many 'Christmas Outfits', check your menu for missing Christmas themes, and it will be OK to open them now.

Opinions about rocket launchers

I'm curious about your opinions on using rocket launchers/fat man during quests. Are they good or bad? Better or worse than normal weapons with the same damage yield?

2024 Memories - 2025 Wishlist βœŒπŸ»πŸ•Š

First of all,

#Happy New Year Everyone!!! πŸ₯³πŸ•Š


Would love to know about everyone's experiences with the game last year!


2024 Memories:

Intro- As we all know, with the Fallout TV Show's release this year, Fallout Shelter saw a surge in updates and player activity. From new dwellers inspired by the show to exciting quests, 2024 has been nothing short of amazing for vault overseers. The game in a way got a revival with new players, as well as old players returning.

  • What was the best thing that happened in your vault in 2024?

(Did you finally complete a perfect vault layout? Find your dream legendary dweller?)

  • Which new additions did you enjoy the most?

(Updates? Show-inspired content? Quests?)

  • Also, what was the best thing that you came across on the SubReddit/Community?

(Most helpful explanations? Previously unknown game mechanics? Jokes?)


2025 Wishlist:

Intro- As we head into 2025, we are unsure of any updates this year, but at least there are hopes of the 2^nd season of the TV Show getting completed by next year. Yet we have thoughts and expectations for 2025.

  • What are your plans for your vault in 2025?

(Particular challenge? Expanding your vault? Experimenting with new room layouts? Finally reaching 200 dwellers?)

  • What change would you love to see in the game? [Keeping in mind, it is Bethesda we are talking about]

(New quests? More characters & pets?)


Thanks for being an amazing community, and here’s to another great year! Cheers to 2025 and the adventures ahead!

Number of Dwellers

Is there a chart for when events happen compared to home many dwellers you have? I have 16 right now and I don't want to grow too fast.

My End-Game Vault Layout

All major resource producing rooms have maxed number of Legendary dwellers with appropriate Legendary suits and weapons. Warehouses have at least 1 dweller with same weapon type.

I guess I can go for 200 dwellers now...

What the ****! How come this happened?

My level 50 Legendary dweller has been running the wastelands for over 6 days now! And he got only 95 items. Any idea why this happened?

[Question] Vault Suggestions

Hi Everyone!

First of all, Merry Christmas to all of you!!πŸŽ„

Second of all... Any suggestions for a new player (with around 130 dwellers on board) where should I add missing rooms? I was planning to add in the future more storages at the bottom, also another SPECIAL on the right side, but then what to do with a gap between SPECIAL's (maybe few radio stations, barber, medbays and science labs)?

Also I'm not too sure where (and how many weapon and outfit workshops) should I build, not mentioning about theme workshop.. My previous layout was completely mess, now trying to make perfect!

In a meantime... Does it make any sense to build more than 1 radio station if I'm not planning to call much dwellers from Wasteland? I know that I can switch them off but just wondering how does it work with happines in the vault?

Any help really appreciated!

Do i need low-level dwellers for quests?

As my vault is filled with lv50 dwellers, do i still get all quests and do i get a penalty for doing them with higher dwellers even if there's only a lv10 quest request?

Multiple legendary dwellers

I've noticed a few folks post about duplicate dwellers and so I haven't ran into that yet but in case it does happen, do you guys keep them or kick them out in a vault full of trained children?

Sell common items?

How come when your dwellers return and you select "sell common items" it only sells some of them?
