Merging Rooms Fallout Shelter (2024)

FAQs

Is it better to merge rooms in Fallout Shelter? ›

In Fallout Shelter, you will progress your Vault and unlock more rooms to build as you level up. These rooms will cover everything your Dwellers will need to survive, such as power, water, and food. While most of these rooms take up small blocks of the underground space, merged rooms will double in size.

Merging Rooms

Building two or three of the same type of room next to each other will merge them into a bigger version of the room.

In Fallout Shelter, most rooms can combine and upgrade for efficiency, but there are a few exceptions. Unique rooms like the Overseer's Office, the Barbershop, and the Theme Workshop don't combine with others. They're standalone because of their specific functions.

All rooms can be merged into 3s (except overseer's = 2 only). The cafeteria and the living quarters can be painted/customized if they're merged into 3. You can get more resources and more storage from rooms merged into 3.

It's a good idea to have Dwellers on stand-by to guard the Vault Door in preperation for when happens. When you assign Dwellers to the Vault Door as guards, make sure you equip them with high quality Weapons and Outfits to repel any intruders. These Dwellers will be your first line of defense.

Nah, you don't really need Dwellers in your storage rooms. The storage rooms are there to increase your storage capacity for resources like food, water, and other supplies. Assigning Dwellers to storage doesn't boost productivity or resource generation.

Uncles, cousins and nieces can mate, as can aunts and nephews. Dwellers sharing a parent cannot mate, nor can they mate their own parent or grandparent. One will see the "Hanging out with the family" message when they meet in the living quarters.

The SPECIAL and the level of the parents will influence the children's starting SPECIAL's. This child was born by regular parents no stat above 6 and level under 30: This child "Natasha Galor" was born by level 50 parents with all SPECIAL at 10, the mother Sarah Lyons a Legendary Dweller and the father Anelor Galor.

Most rooms can also be merged up to three times by placing an identical room of the same tier next to it. Generally, each room can facilitate two Dwellers. Merged rooms may be occupied by up to 6 Dwellers.

Technically, no. Fallout Shelter goes on as long as you want to play. There's no 'end game' in the traditional sense, but some players aim for goals like 100% completion, which includes maxing out all dweller levels and unlocking all room types.

What is the max population in Fallout Shelter? ›

The hard limit for population is 200, anything above that will be capped and be a waste of space. After reaching the population limit of 200 dwellers, no more Living Quarters can be built.

Luck helps you with the odds of getting caps (and more of them) when you level up dwellers and rush rooms. Might also help your chances of not failing rushing them. Also helps you find better stuff in the wasteland. If you have really high luck on your vault dwellers it might even become your main source of income.

Best answer

Expanding your Fallout Shelter is tempting to get more space and more dwellers, but upgrading existing rooms first is usually the smarter move. Upgrading increases efficiency without expanding the area raiders can attack or increasing the resources needed to keep everyone happy.

Yep, upgrading a room in Fallout Shelter does indeed increase its power consumption. It's like giving your room a little energy-hungry upgrade. But keep in mind, those upgrades are totally worth it for the boosts you get.

You'll need space to merge rooms. You'll want to put your production rooms on the top floors so all your best dwellers can guard against attacks. You'll want to space your empty rooms, like living quarters and storage, around the vault or far off without adjacent rooms to mitigate disasters.
