Luciana · August 15, 2015, 03:32:01 AM

Anyone have tips for getting caps without buying lunchboxes?

You can get caps for rushing rooms.

Mr. Psychologist · August 15, 2015, 08:24:04 AM

So far so good, built up a fair few rooms and got some very nice character cards from the free lunchboxes <_<

Also I've begun to institute a caste system and relegate the peasantry to the lower floors whilst the fancy folks live at the top.

Fallout Shelter isn't a bad game...but it feels like it needs your complete attention.
So that's why I don't play it

Having to click the resources is kind of... retarded.

Once your rooms are "full" of resources when you aren't playing they shut down and stop using power or your food and water. So you can ignore it for days and go back to it and be fine

You have a chance of finding a Mr Handyman while scouring the Wasteland. They will automatically collect resources for the floor you assign them to.

Or you can buy one for 99 cents, but that sounds like a waste of a dollar for me considering that it's not hard to click buttons.

You'll be wanting to assign people to the room their SPECIAL's play best into.

But then the fancy folk will get attacked first if raiders come.

Ah wonderful, I'll just spam scouts until I get one then.

I want to be able to afk the game a lot >_>

I don't understand the resource cap thing. Like for power, the bars are towards the right of the bar and the food is far left, likewhat do i need to do to balance those?

So long as you're above that small bar, you're fine. If you go under, you'll lose power, people will get sad, etc. Just stick above it. The lower it is the better, because it doesn't take as much to maintain. To do that, you just expand/upgrade your rooms.

gats · August 15, 2015, 05:16:41 PM

i sent goots 3 off to explore, come back safely my baby

Luciana · August 15, 2015, 05:18:55 PM

Hope you gave him stim's and rad-away's

gats · August 15, 2015, 05:32:45 PM

yeah like 5 of each. everyone in my first vault died because i kept ignoring their levels of radiation. can't risk that again >.>

Turkey · August 15, 2015, 05:45:24 PM

Anyone know how to increase your stim and radaway storage? I have both at three rooms, but upgrades don't increase storage and I'm constantly rushing rooms hoping for fires so I can use stims up before another batch finishes. I think the only way is to make more, but I'm not sure.

so the bar gets lowered when rooms are upgraded?

To increase STORAGE you need storage room. As for Stims, you just need to rush/wait. You can always make new rooms of them. Make sure you have people with the SPECIAL for it in the right rooms.

Correct. UNLESS you build more rooms and negate your power. When you plan out expanding, take into effect how it'll take into the electricity.

I haven't seen one appear since I finished the tutorial ;_;
Or is that tutorial-infinite boxes glitch still working?

Also I like how this game is subtly showing you different things that will be in Fallout 4.

I've seen one appear today so far, so hopefully it's nothing below that. I've not linked any card details because I'm running it through some chinese emulator so that's kind of obvious to not do so lol.

Super Irish · August 17, 2015, 09:25:37 PM

I get a challenge with a box as a reward about once every two days or so, but I've had to cycle through a lot of minor challenges to get them.

Also, through cruel fate the rewards inside have been crap, i.e. free resources and some caps when I don't need either.
