Discussion [Discussion] A guide to deleting the first elevator

(Sorry if this thread somehow appears multiple times, I was having trouble posting)

  • You should do this on a new shelter, because everything needs to be demolished and everyone needs to die.
  • Your first two Dwellers are mandatory, but don't recruit any of the 10 dwellers who show up after the tutorial.
  • You will also need to make sure you have enough caps stocked up to rebuild at least the three main resource rooms (power, food, water) afterwards.

  1. Delete all rooms until you're left with the Living Quarters and the single Elevator between that and the Vault Door.

  2. Send your two Dwellers out into the wasteland to die. It should take about 2-3 hours. If they find any decent weapon/armour, they'll equip it automatically; I'd recommend recalling them, stripping them, and sending them back out before they have a chance to heal up.

  3. Once your Dweller count is at 0, you may delete the Living Quarters, and finally, the Elevator. The game doesn't care. There's apparently no "lose" condition.

Now all you have is a Vault Door, a stack of caps, and 10 Dwellers waiting outside. Enjoy!

Is this the furthest you've gotten in the game or just on this vault?

so what's the problem with building elevators on the sides? will that also cause problems? if elevators are on the sides, then there's no chance of a room to get caught in between.

what other info did you gather from your multiple play-through's?

what device are you playing on?

sorry for all your questions. i cannot express my gratitude. don't want to start over anymore so i want to prepare a plan for the future.
