Happiness stuck at 88% [question]

Why is my happiness stuck at 88%? I have 167 dwellers so I don’t want to keep having them make babies, and they are all in the appropriate rooms. Are the dwellers who are training the ones who are bringing it down?

Why can we not save to play on several devices ? [question]

I am asking because you can buy stuff in game but what is the point if you cannot save and play on other devices. Somebody has an answer to why they don’t allow this ?

[Question] Is there a mod that tells you how long you've had a dweller in your vault?

I'm getting back into the game, and while I did name people with symbols to keep track of them, it only let me know who was related to who. Is there a mod that keeps track of their ages, or even makes family trees?

How to get more Dwellers [question]

We get it Todd, you want more money. Anyone figure out a way to get rid of this ad on mobile? I even downloaded the "ESO Shelter" to stop the ad and it still pops up.

Bug in the armory [Question]

Hi, I just got a bug with the armory (Perception training place) in which it wont allow me to put more than 4 dwellers. Yes, it is a 3 block room which should let me have 6 dwellers in it.

I did try destroying the thing and building a new one but nothing changed.

If anyone knows how to fix it please tell me.

[Question] How to stop resources from draining

I know this sounds stupid cus the whole point of the game is that it runs while your offline, but on mobile is it possible for the game to not progress whilst your not playing, e.g so resources like water don't drain, which makes it harder next time you log on. Thanks.

[Question] Backwards time travel consequences?

I currently have one group of dwellers returning from a quest and three Mr Handys returning. I would like to time travel back a month or more so that I can then time travel forward a few times without consequences. What will happen to these wait times for returns? Do I have to wait for them to return first?

[Discussion] Specific tricks

I'm new to this group and fairly new on Reddit but I've been playing this game for many years. I'm not even sure how many vaults I have built over the years.

I'm curious what general building strategy tricks you repeatedly use every time.

My building pattern is as follows.....

  1. Start vault building power rooms going across top to right edge, 2nd level gets two room water on left of first elevator and two room food on right, 3rd level gets three room barracks on left and 2 room storage on right. THESE ARE TEMPORARY.

  2. Start running elevators down right edge. At the third level I build one unmerged power generator with nothing directly above or beside it. I put someone with NO strength in it so I can rush/fail easily when I want.

  3. I rush/fail this room every 3-3.5 minutes so I control when and where they happen.

  4. I leave 4th level empty. This is my break area so fire, roaches and rats can't go through the vault from top to bottom while I'm racing to head it off.

  5. 5th level becomes my new food/water/control room level. Triple rooms on food and water. 6th level gets medical and science.

  6. By now I'm running quests and sending lots of people to the Wasteland for caps so I can continue running my right side elevator all the way to the bottom. The bottom level becomes my new living quarters level (I build enough for 110 dwellers) and the level above It becomes storage.

  7. Now that I have living quarters and storage at the bottom I can work my way up the left edge of the vault from my fifth level to underneath the entrance of the vault. I delete the center elevator on levels 2 and 3 and the stuff off of it and build power across from the left, making sure not to touch my rush/fail room.

  8. 7th level is another empty, 8th and 9th are more medical and science and 10th is another break.

  9. Levels 11-13 become training rooms. I build triple rooms right and left edges next to the elevators on all three levels for SPEIAL and make a double room in the center of all three rows for Charisma.

  10. Level 14 is another break, followed by levels 15 and 16 becoming outfit, weapon and theme rooms. I fill in the extra space on those levels with more power rooms for the extra capacity.

  11. Level 17 is the last break and everything below it all the way to the bottom is storage except the living quarters on bottom, although I'll usually throw in an extra triple power rooms along the way somewhere.

If you have built a lot of vaults over the years what is your strategy?

[screenshot] Questions

I got 100 dwellers to unlock all the rooms available, few questions. When attacked by death claws do they just get all dwellers low on health before moving onto the next room? Do Rad scorpions have a crit chance on dwellers? Lost my Lucy on a quest to one she was full health and died instantly with one attack on her.

[vault] … I think I have no life 😅

Context this is only two days of playing. I know the dweller count is low but even still 96% happiness is crazy.

Am I the only one with a bugged shop ? [Question]

It's french but it says more or less that an error has occurred on their side. My connexion is good, I've tried to download again the game, with or without the cloud and it always says the same thing. Is there a way to fix this ?
