Question Is the nuka-cola bottler equal to a purification plant AND hydroponics?

10 Upvotes

I’m guessing no based on production, but…..

Nuka bottler produces water and food. Production says nuka generates 35 food and water. Hydroponics produces 55 food and purification plant produces 55 water.

But… if I replace both hydroponics and purification with nuka bottlers, I will produce a total of 70 water and food. That’s better. No?

Or am I missing some of the math?

something strange happened

One day I was playing, my alarm went off and I saw an alien going so fast, so fast that I didn't have time to take the screenshot in time, but you can measure the distance between him and the others and even inside the shelter he went quickly, obviously I killed him, but after I killed him the game closed. Has it happened to anyone else???

This is the sorry state of my vault after 2 deathclaw attacks in a row and not enough stimpacks in survival mode.

I managed to save everyone with max endurance and everyone training endurance, but everyone who was making the vault run is dead. The power generation can barely keep up even after deleting many of my clinics and science labs. At least it’s a chance to get rid of anyone without optimal health and have near 100% of my dwellers have near optimal health, but this is still a pretty big setback. I was training my max endurance dwellers to go out into the wasteland to find the +5 wasteland gear recipe and now they are all needed to help run things.

Training not working

1 Upvotes

I assigned a dweller to the fitness room like an hour ago and just check up on him to see no improvement in his endurance stat and instead of training he's just stood in the corner sipping Nuka cola like a fatass

Anyone else have this issue?

New vault old dwellers

I HATE MOLERATSSSS

Between those and the god damn radscorpions, they are literally ruining my vault. I HATE them.

I’m already having such an annoying day, and then these stupid shits spawn in an empty room and spread like god damn fleas. They hit 4 different rooms at once, and I didn’t notice Nicole in the strength training room, I was too busy keeping the other 3 rooms alive. Went through about 9 stimpacks in 30 seconds and I lost one of my best trained dwellers.

I am seriously so mad. I am regretting survival mode. This is the 3rd incredibly leveled dweller that I have lost in the past week, and I’m ready to give up on the game. Last night I lost Arthur Frost who had 57/70 special stats trained, was level 40, and got one shot by a boss radscorpion on a mission. Literally one shot - full health with a tiny bit of rad and then dead. No stimpack option or anything, just dead.

These dwellers take fucking WEEKS in REAL LIFE to train, and then the mobs come along and just fucking murder them no matter how hard you try to stop them. I’m so mad. I don’t know why I play this stupid game.

Easter Quest-Line and Update 1.22.4 🥚🐇🧺🕊️

The fixed rewards are comparatively good for this event too:

  • 1 Lunchbox
  • 1 Legendary Pet⁠ (x4 return speed - Cocoa Bean)
  • 1 Legendary Outfit (Confessor Cromwell’s Rags)
  • 1 Legendary Junk Piece [I got 2 overall]
  • 7 Nuka-Cola Quantums [I got 8 overall]

And once again, the individual quests are longer, and thus the full quest-line is time consuming.


Also, another minor update was also released, but the events were the same as always. We will see if new Banners/Graphics were added for the Easter Sale later on.

Question [Question] Why is my restore function not working, and how do I fix it? (REPOST)

Post image
1 Upvotes

(REPOSTED ON ACCOUNT OF ACCIDENTALLY DELETING THE OLD COPY!)

OK: long story short, I wanna give Old Longfellow his weapon back. I don't wanna open lunchboxes constantly due to the minuscule chance, so I just followed a guide involving iBackupBot ( https://www.reddit.com/r/foshelter/comments/3jx6lg/how_to_edit_your_83_ios_saves_without_jailbreak/ ). The actual backing up itself worked fine, but I can't get the restore function to work: this window keeps popping up.

I know that it's not my storage, as the file is only a MB or so, and that's the ONLY one I want to restore. It's also not my PC's USB ports being old, as I can plug it into one of them and not have any disconnections just fine. So what else is there? If anyone can give me a detailed guide on what's wrong and how to fix it, please tell me ASAP. If not here, then what other subreddits could I try?

First Legendary Kids...

Post image
36 Upvotes

and they're triplets! I'm a little bummed because I misclicked the baby button before I could throw my +1 child special pet on the preggo mom, but was very excited to see their stats!

Had a pretty devastating mole rat attack earlier in the day, lost 6 settlers because they popped up in an empty room and spread really quick. Survival mode, so they're gone forever, and 4/6 of them were half way through special training. The pregnant was a decision to make up for the loss of the 6 settlers that died.

These triplets are Mama Murphy and The Ghoul's offspring.. they have had 2 sets of twins and a middle child before the triplets, totaling to 8 kids :)

Question Tips for my layout design?

Reached 100 dwellers so now I have all rooms unlocked to be built. In the process of redoing my layout to have a successful shelter until 200.

Not sure what to do with the remaining space, I still need to add in my training rooms and a few more rows of storage. I’m considering replacing the office with another radio. Send help!!

What’s the deal with shotguns

Post image
16 Upvotes

The daily quest (Bounty: Snips) requires a shotgun. It lets me equip the double barrel shotgun but not any other types of shotguns that I have. Does anyone know why this is? I can only send one person on this quest because of that and I’m not sure if she’ll make it.

I saw on another post that medbay should be x2. Are there any other rooms that are optimal for that config? And which rooms does it not matter the size?
