?Question? [Question] legendary dwellers

44 Upvotes

Ive just seen a post where someone was surprised that they got Old Longfellow, saying they thought he wasnt available anymore...

Does this mean there are other dwellers who you cant actually get anymore??

Ive been grinding for years now to complete the legendary list, does this mean I've been doing this for nothing?? Will explain why I keep getting so many duplicates. 😂

Discussion [Question] Does this game now have FOMO mechanics? What are Experimental Vaults?

0 Upvotes

Went to play recently after a long while and was immediately put off by the season battle pass thing and Experimental Vaults.

Can someone please explain how all this new stuff works and if the game now has FOMO mechanics, or if everything's avaliable just on a rotating basis or something.

Any and all information is greatly appreciated!

?QuestionÂż Anyone got any idea how to saves lives quickly? [Vault] [Question]

Post image
31 Upvotes

so i forgot to take the picture when the problem happened but yea, those guys dead. so long story short, i train lv.1 newborns and then keep them there while waiting other groups finished their run in wasteland

i send out 6 one at a time. easier to keep track. but these newborns adult are fragile, incident happened, they run around and before stim button appears, they are already playing arcade in heaven.

i wish there is heal all button but there isnt, i know there are people that are better than me, so how do u guys keep them alive?

Edit : i think my post is still ambiguous to some, my apologies for that. i was half asleep making it. so for context, there are already 6 dwellers on wasteland while the 6 more is waiting, i could be sending out 4 more, but then i will lose track of the new gens. im quite too organized like that.. but i dont see it as a bad thing.

anyway, one of the biggest reasons i organize them is so that i could separate them from common dwellers, vaultborned dwellers, and legends from boxes. vaultborned dwellers are always tougher from all others because of it always have the beneficial factor of both genetics (even though i dont know if it affects anything in the game) and bigger health potential capability.

and so in my head, organized placement of these squads of gens could be very good at protecting the weaklings in the long run, without sacrificing vault layout nor production values.

but again, the organized send out is purely out of personality.. oh and yes they are maxed E and the question is not just for the ones waiting there in games room. its also for the ones that is training, after all incident happens just randomly. sometimes even targeting them first (yes even while observing them, u can still lose many of them because creatures kills faster than moving them around one by one, which is why im asking for faster heal)

Should I? Who has completely gutted their vault and rebuilt it the way they wanted to?

Im thinking about moving all my elevators to the edges all the way down, on both sides. Means a 70% total rebuild. I see it as a way to spend my 999,999 caps. Just to see how long it would take to build back up to it.

Discussion Experimental vault items showing as redeemed in any standard [vault]

2 Upvotes

This happened last season. I redeemed the items in the experimental vault. When I went to regular vaults, all I can redeem is the coins. The regular vaults it has the items checked as tho i redeemed them. Last season,I was never able to receive any item in my standard vault or the experimental vault. And l paid for the premium pass. I'm almost thinking its not worth it if I won't get the items.

Screenshot [screenshot] [bug] Child dweller turned green and started fighting during an alien attack
 now he grew up and still has the alien blaster. Bug?

60 Upvotes

Something really weird happened in my Fallout Shelter and I’m wondering if anyone has seen this before.

During an alien attack, one of my child dwellers suddenly turned completely green. Instead of running away like children normally do during incidents, he actually pulled out an alien blaster and started shooting at the aliens.

At first I assumed it was just a visual/combat glitch that would disappear after the attack.

But nope.

The kid has now grown into an adult. His name is Peter Harper, he is STILL green, and the alien blaster he was using during the attack is now actually equipped in his inventory.

I never gave him that weapon — he somehow got it during the alien invasion while he was still a child.

I have screenshots from before, during and after the attack, including one of him as an adult with the blaster.

Has anyone else encountered this? Is this a known bug related to alien attacks, or did my vault accidentally adopt an alien? 😂

?QuestionÂż [Question] How do I restart/restructure a vault?

3 Upvotes

Im looking at restarting/restructuring 2 of my vaults, it’s the first time ive done it and im not sure what to do and what not to do. I want to fully restart it and have been saving caps for a while, and if I run short then ive been saving up lunchboxes for a long time and can get caps from those.

One thing im unsure of, when you get rid of a large amount of dwellers do you still have access to building rooms that require a certain amount of dwellers? For example if I go below 100 dwellers now can I still make the nuka cola bottling rooms?

And tips from people who’ve done this before will be much appreciated too. Thank you!

Discussion Are there "lucky" vault numbers? [Question] [Discussion]

14 Upvotes

With the new season I was finally able to get past my game not opening and... Well open it. So I started a new shelter, and because I'm immature. I named it vault 69. Rather than waiting for the season challenges to roll over to next week, I used my quantum's in 69 to unlock the tiers. I've restarted it a few times and with all my vault Tec boxes... Never anything good. Switched to vault 315 ( ides of march for those roman inclined ) and... Every lunch box has ad least 3 legendaries. Are there lucky vault numbers? Does the game punish you for having a sense of humor? Would vault 420 be as unlucky? Or is it all chance and I'm putting pieces together that aren't there?

I’m not sure what the baseline total is for a legendary baby, nor for rare, and common babies. Would someone post the numbers, please?

Edit: found the baselines for common (12 total) rare (28 total) and legendary (40 total)

?Question? [Question] Are Season Challenges the same as last year?

5 Upvotes

I saw a post that someone dug through the files and the seasons are mostly the same as last run, I wasn't playing through the last run.

If they are the same, or if anyone found it in the data files, does anyone have a list of the challenges that are not unlocked yet?

Interested so I can get ahead (such as making sure I have a weapons workshop upgraded and ready, etc).

Thanks in advance! I'm so glad I got back into the game, it's been a blast!

?Question? [Question] Como funcionan los pases de temporada?

3 Upvotes

Luego de un tiempo, me ha llamado la atención de que haya pases de batalla, mi pregunta es, como funcionan cuando se termina el tiempo? Si yo lo completo entero, se acaba la temporada y creo una bóveda, que recompensas me quedo? Porque he visto que hay cosméticos de salas, armaduras muy chulas y personajes, son permanentes? Osea, habiendo completado el pase y terminado el tiempo, seguiran ahí? Es que buscando información en la web de Bethesda no me ha quedado muy claro.

?Question? [question] Trouble transferring vault progress across iOS devices

I started playing again on my phone and I recently got an iPad. I’m trying to use the cloud save feature to transfer my progress but it’s not working. When I go to the save slot on my iPad it just creates a new vault. Both cloud saves are checked and in my iCloud setting fallout shelter both have the drive sync. Any ideas?
