FadedReality posted:I played it almost exclusively any time I had free from the moment it hit Android until two days later when I made that post. My main takeaway after ~7 hours sunk into my vault was how obnoxious it is that it notifies you literally as you close it that you should come back and collect this water and that power. It's watching timers tick down so you can fill a bar for a quest that gives you a lunchbox which might have a thing that helps with the timers and the bars. Not really sure what kind of waiting you were doing, sounds like you had a pretty poor setup or you were pushing your population up too rapidly and thus had to spend a ton of time scratching to keep your food/water/elec levels above redlining, probably. If a room is not vertically or horizontally touching another room, fires and vermin won't spread and will just go away - you even get credit for firefighting missions for it (also, when raiders and poo poo come in, peopel will begin firing at them when they enter the elevator above them, which helps a little.) So put one or two pregnant women and nobody else into some of those rooms that don't need a bunch of people or armed folks, (radaway and stimpacks are a prime example, also radio room if you have a woman with high CHA, and then they'll just flee and wander back in once the problem peters out.) If you were sitting around waiting to collect resources to get money or something.. You get most money by leveling up survivors - you get one cap per level, each time it goes up. The other way to rush build is to do lots of room rushes to get money, but this can get out of hand if you have a lovely room setup. The first day or two of playing are certainly the toughest, but once you've got close to a radio room you ought to start thinking about rebuilding your shelter - primarily I concentrate on deciding where elevators go (because you can't really easily change them around later without causing some spacing issues that require making several elevators to bridge gaps, and it's hard to remove som rooms without enough early elevator access planned around it), for instance in mine I kinda wish I'd gone 3-3-2 (where hyphens are elevators) so my first line of defense could have six people in it, but they murderate almost everything before it leaves the room, and now that I have an Endurance training area they'll be even more resilient. FYI it is not possible to delete the first elevator room no matter how you build around it, which is mildly annoying.  If you knock up too many women at the same time you'll have problems with invaders and fires etc, although limiting them delivering babies by limiting the number of living rooms you build, helps a great deal at controlling growth and still having instantly-available people to add to the vault if you need 1 or 2 more to get another room, for instance. For purposes of delivering babies is the only reason I'd ever upgrade living quarters, you only get 2 more toward the cap, per room square.. Which means you can really keep population clamped down tightly if you build a few small living rooms instead of a couple huge ones. Also, whomever it was that said they saw deathclaws show up with radio rooms and thus never built one.. I've had a radio room for a week and never seen one. Raiders did start showing up with laser guns, but that's about it. Frankly molerats in my lower water and power rooms are much worse. coyo7e fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Aug 22, 2015 |

Actually love Fallout games. Had almost every room available to me at 26 dwellers with three adjoining rooms, most levelled to the max. Had all three bars maxed at all times and a radio room. In my actual vault, not the cheat save one. It just got boring real fast

As someone who doesn't ever have a commute, Fallout Shelter has the perfect amount of gameplay of a minute at the most for when I'm waiting for my coffee or whatever. Other idle games like TT or Simpsons or what have you actually are too involved for the minuscule amount time I spend playing games on my phone. The art style and the little outfits and whatnot is charming to me and I don't even like the Fallout games. What would actually be perfect if they added a live wallpaper function so I can just watch my little survivors drinkin' nuka-cola and getting swole.

pappawurm posted:Just started playing Hay Day and noticed they have "neighborhoods". Seems like its the same thing as a Clans from Clash of Clans. Anyone playing Hay Day or do we have any "neighborhoods" created? My ex was super into Hayday. You know how Fallout Shelter is super boring after a day since it's basically just clicking things when the timer runs out? Imagine that except they took out all the challenge of planning or resource management. It's literally impossible for anything bad to happen. If you stop feeding your cows, they'll just hang out until you feel like giving them food again. There's no strategy to it since everything is locked until you hit certain levels and the game tells you it's time to build another pigpen. The entire game is watching little progress bars slowly fill up while it reminds you that a couple of diamonds would speed this right up.

coyo7e posted:If you're that upset about notifications... Turn them off? I'm impressed that you feel that it's more bland than a nimblebit game. Bethesda makes garbage, confirmed..? You do realize that it's an adver-game to tease the upcoming release of a very popular IP - which you seem to very much not have any connection to, which is probably half why it's so bland to you - you miss in-jokes during character conversations, special characters you recognize from the other games, etc. When deathclaws show up it won't matter how you built your rooms since the don't stay long in a single room and move quickly through your base. Base layout isn't as important as equipping everyone with guns.

More  Fallout Shelter talk.So awhile back I had a theory about having different leveled but like rooms next to each other for farming rushes, as well as containing failures to a single-room disaster. This got expensive, and wasn't meeting the food/water requirements, so often the diner and purifiers merged into on early on. Plus micro-managing your best room dudes to rush every room 4 times was tedious. This current game I sent about 6 extra bodies into wasteland early to pick up 1-2 things and recall, while doing the intro objectives to get them out of the way. Course I got busy that evening and forgot to recall the last batch of unarmed vault babies, and 4 of them died, costing me about 200 per dude who only had about 17-50 caps collected. So that kind of strat needs babysitting. Got lucky and one of them brought a plasma pistol home, so that's going to the top dedicated waster. As far as layout, the plan was 3x3x2, with the extra elevator at the far right if needed. Reading the molerat spawning theory though, it might be just 2x3x1 to avoid the edges, unless the extra elevator blocks the right side edge from spawns. One of the nifty things I saw in a couple of gameplay vids was putting both of one kind of production room on one level as the first two rooms, then putting the SPECIAL training room of that needed type as the 3rd on that row (3x Power, 3x Power, 2x Weight Room, for example). That way you could move the graduated trainees into the production rooms easier, plus making the layout a bit easier in the clutter. Right now the top floor with the door will remain as housing, probably for the entirety, while doing my best to keep pushing extra housing underneath production levels as I expand, probably just buying basic rooms and moving the main elevator as far down as I can, selling and rebuying housing lower as I need more upper level production. I'm not too sure on the idea of selling the power plant rooms and replacing them with the reactors once I unlock them and have enough scratch, but the efficiency side of my brain is itching to do that. I kinda wish there was a challenge mode where it took the vault social experiments from Fallout Lore and randomized some of the parameters for your new vault, like "Maintain every day a" "50/50 gender ratio" "Or else a 1x1 room section explodes" or "Sacrifice/Sell every day" "All Outfits" "Or else lose all power stored". Doing it correctly would get you one lunchbox card. Mixing a bit of the dark humor of Fallout and a bit of  would make alternate vaults a bit more "fun".

I just realized I was doing this whole Android-gaming thing wrong; I was skipping past Gems of War talk (a game with gameplay), and paying attention to all of the Fallout Shelter posts (pretty much a non-game). What the hell?  Anyway, downloaded and am really enjoying Gems of War (and deleted FS, so it doesn't tempt me with its nothing), did someone make a thread?

I really like Monster Strike https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.mixi.monsterstrikeUS It was super popular when I was in Japan so I jumped on the English version. It's really fun and has great mechanics, but it's just so grindy. Everything is designed to get your money and I felt like I was spending as much time on the connection screen as I was in the game. It's a shame because there's a cool game hidden under the bullshit.

Bootcha posted:More I think what bugs me with Fallout Shelter is that I was fully expecting it to be nothing but a short advert for 4, and to a large extent that's what I got- but it gave me a taste of a game with a lot of potential if it was properly polished and extended. Right now, once you have adequate guns and people to use them all you can really do is fill out/train up your population and that's it, and it leaves me wanting more- give me a fully featured vault sim, throw in mini games, show me my raiding parties in fallout 1/2 style (and let me micro-manage the combat turn by turn), a trading/upgrade/repair system for weapons and outfits e.t.c I had some good times for a free game though, and I might even manage another playthrough by gifting myself some half-decent guns/characters at the start rather than mashing my thumb through a few dozen lunchboxes for them and ending up cheaty rich.

coyo7e posted:Not sure, I have only run into a couple players who were out of my league and at my level it was literally jsut that they'd bought turrets instead of wasting money on the other 2 or so upgrades leading up before turrets become available.. It reminds me a bit of an oldschool BBS doorgame like Legend of the Red Dragon Inn, Tradewars, etc.. If you don't have backup defensive rigs and someone stomps you, then next time someone hits quick match and sees you, you will be mssing half your defenses and lose even more ranking, even if you still haven't logged back in. Game is great, but I am utterly confused on your impression of turrets. They track slow, and if they aren't paired with something else that you've got to dodge around at the same time they're super easy to just walk circles around to kill. So never ever stick them behind a point since then the attacker gets to take them out at their leisure. Also don't stand in front of them when they die the barrel of the gun shooting out the front on death will kill your dudes.
