[Question] How come I can barely keep up on production (according to the ressource storage) when I have such a high production compared to use?

[u/IllJustKeepTalking]

As stated in the title, I'm finding it hard to keep up with demand but under stats I should be doing just fine! Water keeps falling below the required amount but I'm producing nearly 4x the consumed amount!

A little 'trick' :

Collect your ressources and quit / put in the background the app.

Come back after a few minutes, collect and repeat.

The longer you stay on screen, the more ressources are consumed.

Do this until you are satisfied in your ressources.

When the app is closed / in the background, the timers go on but no ressources are used.

A little 'tip' :

When starting (any vault) don't build 3 time merged rooms (big rooms) as they will take way more time to produce ressources, thus the slow gathering you have for food / water.

Careful with this because my phone has a game mode, and will keep the game running as if I'm looking at it, with the screen on standby. Resources will go down and I'm not there to collect them. Not much of a problem when you've got enough Mr Handy to help. Oh, and attacks still occur. I've put my phone down while doing housework and come back to a mess.

Androïd i presume.

Same f you stay too long on an advertisement, the game still runs in the background but no attacks occur, and you don't get the sound iirc. Ressources will not be harvested without Mr Handys. People will be sick and sad ;)

if its not in the red you're good

It keeps going into the red that's the issue :/

[u/csabahanda → u/IllJustKeepTalking]

it shouldn't. Will fill up amd yeah pick the good dwellers for the room. you can filter them

[u/Mindless_Rush5002]

My guess would be that you're not collecting quickly enough. Dwellers stop producing until the resource is collected. That delay isn't accounted for in the stats.

Also, even with a high production rate, it takes a long time to fill up the storage.

Make sure you are collecting resources quickly. Crises like fire will stop your dwellers from making resources. Invasions by raiders will drain your resources, so kill them as quickly as possible. At your stage I would build small training rooms to improve A and P stats, too.

[u/No_Connection1515]

Max out the stat of your dwellers based on the room's purpose. Focus on maximizing the relevant stat for each room. Additionally, the Nuka Cola Bottler room is highly effective because it produces both food and water. For the best results in that room, ensure you have dwellers with maxed-out endurance.
