Dragon Balls? Are they tasty?

OK, so Mr Handy will not use the elevators on his own? That's balls. Welp, guess I'm rearranging my vault so that everything that's important is on one floor... for now.

Ehh.. may not be the best option. You're going to want to stack them 3-wide to upgrade them. I do 2 on one floor and 1 on another. Of course, I have no idea what I'm doing. I'm having trouble getting over 20 vault dwellers.


Anyone figured out some genius way to replace a room? I built a living quarters during the tutorial, then built a diner beyond it.. the diner is 3-wide now, and I would rather not have that living quarters there anymore. The best option would be to delete it and have everything slide over, but it doesn't work that way. I also can't transition it into a diner to make it link up. I'd have to delete everything to the right of it for a fraction of what I paid to construct it, then delete the living quarters, then rebuild everything. That's kinda bullshit.

You can still restart your shelter before it's too late.

I deleted one of the room after the tutorial to make all rooms left and right of the starting elevator 3 tiles wide. Vault runs fine and I don't even need mr handys.

You can't improvise yourself vault supervisor.

Not much, but still. Did the multi-pack of Mr. Handys and a 5-pack of lunchboxes just to get started.

This is on my phone though, it runs so much better on my tablet that I may just focus on that.

Maybe its my imagination but I had the 'rush rooms successfully' and 'put out fires' challenges at the same time and even when my % of failure was like 70%+ I kept getting successful rushes as if the game was trying to keep me from doing the fire challenge easily. It was great.

So theres a new Dragon Quest Monsters game out and its pretty great so far. If anything it reminds me of Brave Frontier / Summoners War, but with the DQM monsters and battle system. Has a gacha, evo / skilling system, daily dungeons, etc. Not on the US play store yet but it is in English.

Nah, in Games. We have a thread for Star Wars Commander that has barely any traffic, but it's useful to consolidate info/tips/general advice and conversations in one place, especially for newbies like me. And unlike SWC, Gems has been talked about a lot in here, so I imagine the thread would be pretty active (at least for a while).

I've been experimenting with some early vault layouts in Shelter after destroying+rebuilding, and am trying to get some screenshots. Does anyone know where they get saved to?

I did find out though, that if you hit the screenshot button, it totally freezes the game until you come back and close the "screenshot" pop-up. Kind of handy if you don't wanna force kill anything.

Anyone figure out how mergin rooms works? I keep seeing people talk about merging disparate room types, but I'm having trouble doing that any time except accidentally. I heard that they can't be different levels, but I'd still like to, say, have a 2 power 1 water room to begin (hydro plant duh!) or something..

That will cause some problems until the second or third generation has grown to fruition, FYI. It's been done before. Try careful naming of every offspring to avoid getting frustrated and then belatedly realizing that you can't tell which one is related to whom..!

Just use the share button to send the capture where you want.

Rooms merge automatically when they are same type and level and next to each other.

I sent it to google drive. Then you can download it fine.

Yeah it really helps getting rare guns and characters from the early lunchbox. I send them on exploration to bring back tons of guns when they are not busy spreading their good genes around vault 069

Ok apparently from reading a wiki the "bug" where I got a lot of caps rushing rooms was probably because there was a guy with high luck in it. So if you have a guy with high luck, move it where you want to rush.

Oh that's a good idea, I kept trying to upload them to imgur and other sources and it wanted me to select the image instead of auto-selecting, except I can't find the damned images! I have a cool "Wide 'S'" map I'm pretty pleased with and want to share pics of, since most of the "anti raider" layouts I've seen seem a bit sketchy.

I am not sure if I'd recommend save-scumming for a good "first two/three lunch boxes" but it helps enormously sometimes if you get 500 caps three times instead of 50 food three times, or even just getting a couple rusty winchester and laser rifles so you can be sure your base won't get rocked by the first two waves of raiders before you can reliably find weapons exploring.

If you plan on spending money on a mr Handy I'd definitely recommend scumming until you figure out a good layout as well as getting one or two good survivors/weapons/armor very early on. It doesn't take more than a couple minutes to restart to the same point but there's a weird difficulty jump between the storage/medbay/science rooms and actually being viable in the first couple hours of play without waiting for 6 hours until your new babies are grown up... Two survivors from lunch boxes is basically a full tech tier.

So I want to play Fallout Shelter but my phone is a relatively ancient Samsung thing that doesn't have the required minimum version of Android. (Needs 4.1, mine is I think 2.3.) Someone in in the Fallout 4 thread mentioned a thing called Bluestacks which appears to be an emulator of sorts but I tried it and the very first thing it did was bluescreen my computer and the second thing it did was put shortcuts on the desktop and in the start menu that point nowhere at all so nope, gently caress that.

Is there any way I can, legally, play this game that doesn't involve me either buying a new phone or tablet or borrowing the same from someone?

I've been playing on Andy and haven't had any problems running it. In fact FS seems to be tailored more toward being played on PC than tablets.
