After two or three rounds of births, you will want to be more conservative with your growth, as children drain your Vault’s WATER and FOOD and cannot contribute to production.

This allows you to access the Radio room and training rooms more quickly. A true win-win situation.Įarly in the game, it’s a very good idea to increase your Vault’s population by getting your female Dwellers pregnant. Also, Dwellers in the Wasteland have the added benefit of not depleting your Vault’s FOOD and WATER supply. This allows you to stockpile weapons and outfits to increase effectiveness of your workers. We recommend sending these Dwellers to explore the wastes with your strongest weapons and outfits with the highest total special stats). These Dwellers make the best Wasteland explorers due to increased damage and radiation resistance. This structure allows good balance, as most rooms are best as triples, but also allowing a POWER on each floor as needed.īefore you reach 100 Dwellers, you will have Dwellers whose best SPECIAL stat is Endurance. With 25 levels and enough space for 8 single rooms and two elevators, we recommend having triple rooms on the outside and a row of double rooms on the inside. Triple rooms are most efficient, so they are recommended. Having sufficient FOOD production is important, but not as much as WATER or POWER, as the only penalty for having low FOOD levels is decreased health, which is immediately remedied at the next level up or by using stimpaks. Triple rooms are the most efficient, so using triple rooms is recommended. If you haven’t experienced low WATER levels, it is not fun. Double POWER rooms are recommended, as they out-produce triples on a space-for-space metric.Īfter POWER, WATER is next most important, as having low water causes radiation poisoning, which can only be removed using radaways or increasing WATER levels and time. Your rooms need POWER to keep running, so POWER rooms are your first priority. If you’re looking to keep your resources under control, be sure to prioritize your resources. Here’s a glimpse of what we’ve learned so far. So, we’ve about a month to play around in this lovely post-apocalyptic sandbox from Bethesda.
