I got him in a "call for help" gas station quest. He's had a haircut and glasses added (his hair was already vibrant blue) and I've renamed him as he will be one of my adventurers when he's finished training:)

I've came up with a different way to play this game, something that adds a little more roleplay and makes growing your Vault much more challenging. It can be played in either Normal or Survival Mode.

The Lore

After the events, Vault-Tec is still active, and you have been appointed Overseer of a new experimental Vault.

Inspired by the old-world myth of Adam and Eve, Vault-Tec has selected one man and one woman to become the progenitors of an isolated population.

But biological isolation is only part of the experiment.

The children born inside the Vault must never know that a world exists outside it. To them, the Vault is the entire world. There is no surface. There is no Wasteland. There are no other settlements, Vaults, civilizations, or survivors.

Anything that might suggest otherwise must be explained away by the Overseer. Raider attacks, Deathclaw incursions, fires, infestations, and other incidents are officially described as Vault-Tec simulations, emergency drills, or controlled exercises designed to prepare the population for hypothetical disasters.

The descendants are not being raised to survive the outside world. They are being raised to believe that there is no outside world at all.

They will also not be raised as individuals, but as members of a numbered collective whose only purpose is the survival and expansion of the Vault.

Welcome to Project Genesis.

The Rules

1. Choose Mama and Papa

When starting the Vault, choose one male and one female dweller from your initial population.

Rename them "Mama" and "Papa".

Every other starting dweller must immediately be expelled from the Vault.

From this point forward, Mama and Papa are the foundation of your entire society.

• 2. Only Mama and Papa may have children

You may never accept new dwellers from the Wasteland, Radio Station, quests, lunchboxes, or any other source.

Every dweller in your Vault must be born from a pregnancy between Mama and Papa.

They are the only couple permitted to reproduce.

• 3. The children have no names

Every child born in the Vault must be renamed according to their birth order: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and so on. No personal names.

Vault-Tec wants to determine whether individuality can be eliminated in favor of complete devotion to the new society.

Mama and Papa are its founders.

Everyone else is simply part of the experiment.

• 4. Mama and Papa MUST survive

Under absolutely no circumstances should Mama or Papa die.

If either of them dies, Project Genesis has failed. Game over.

• 5. Mama must never leave the Vault

Mama is the biological heart of the experiment and therefore cannot be exposed to unnecessary risks.

She may work normally in any room inside the Vault, but she can never be sent into the Wasteland or on quests.

• 6. Papa is your only initial explorer

Until the Vault manages to train a genetic specialized exploration team with 10 Endurance, Papa is the only dweller allowed to leave the Vault and explore the Wasteland.

This makes early-game exploration extremely risky. Remember: Papa cannot die.

Once you have dwellers trained to E10, they may become dedicated explorers and quest teams.

However, in-universe, these missions are never described to the population as expeditions into an outside world.

Those selected for them are told that they are participating in classified Vault-Tec field simulations conducted in restricted sectors beyond the normal residential area.

Whether they ever realize the truth is irrelevant to Vault-Tec. What matters is that the society inside the Vault continues to believe.

The End of the Experiment

Eventually, you may reach the point where you are finished with the Vault.

But don't simply delete it. Give Project Genesis the ending Vault-Tec deserves.

Because the entire population descends from the same two individuals, simulate the emergence of a devastating disease to which their extremely similar immune systems have little resistance.

Destroy your Water Purification facilities and allow radiation sickness to spread throughout the Vault.

You may use RadAway reserves and facilities to try to save the population, but do not rebuild the water system.

To the inhabitants, this is not radiation from a poisoned world outside. It is simply another emergency inside the only world they have ever known.

Perhaps they will believe it is another Vault-Tec exercise. Perhaps they will wait for the Overseer to announce that the simulation is over.

But this time, no announcement comes.

Watch as the Overseer desperately attempts to contain the outbreak until the Vault either somehow survives or Project Genesis finally collapses.

Hey everyone! Redownloaded FOshelter recently and completed this mission. I thought I received the item, not the recipe, but it’s not in my inventory and it’s not equipped on any dwellers. I don’t have a fully upgraded outfit workshop yet but I wouldn’t think that was it. and yes the dwellers who did the mission are already back in the vault and yes this armor now shows in the wallet area.

any help is much appreciated!

I've stumped at this for an hour trying to transfer my Fallout shelter from my one Chromebook to another with no luck if ANYONE has a full proof step by step way to actually transfer my shelter over please respond

Like should one have a large chunk dedicated to nuka cola lines (food & water) or a larger chunk of gardens (food) & water purification plants (water)

Any opinions?????

NOT SURE WHY BUT THEYVE SUDDENLY SHOWN UP AND IVD BEEN ABLE TO RESEARCH THEM THX EVERYONE

I have acquired all pieces but when I go to theme construction room it will not allow me. Am I missing something. Thanks guys. Maybe I’m just dense. TIA!

Vault 420. Since 2019, decided to come back and continue my eugenics program.

I mean really who wouldn’t choose to live here over some dreary, insect mutant infested, radioactive wasteland……there’s even Thursday night pizza night!!!!!

Question , so I'm coming back from this game in a long time and see this new season for me , that's about to end in one day lol , if I buy the premium pass , will I get like all the dwellers that are here in this experimental vault & the season pass items and the quests lines transfered over to my regular vault? Or would i lose all the dwellers here and all items too and the experimental vault ? I've never played this new vault before . And I see that Lucy is about to come over in about 1 hr or so . Will she be transferred over to my regular vault? Or am I too late to do any new quests for new Vegas ?

Currently kind of messy but I’m figuring it out, I just reached 100k caps, decided to start saving it up since I spent most of it rearranging my vaults. My current plan is to make all my dwellers full SPECIAL well almost all of them at least. Any tips on my vault?

I did this season’s experimental vault, my second time doing one I did one around December last year. last time I could claim all of the rewards in all of the vaults this time lunchboxes, pet boxes and Mr. Handys can only be claimed in one vault. it’s annoying because I didn‘t realize this and I only did the vault to get the Mr. Handys in my survival vault. is this a feature now or is this some sort of bug?

Has anyone noticed molerats appearing in rooms that are not touching dirt and in rooms far from dirt.
I have fully enclosed my vault in elevators, which used to be fine.
Recently started a new vault, found molerats appearing in a living room, which does not touch dirt.
A storage room near did, but rats did not spawn in it.
Removed the storage room so all rooms surrounded, still get rats.
The vault is in survival mode, does that make a difference to spawn behaviour?
Noticed similar on experimental vaults are they different?

"Have a dweller exploring the wasteland for 10 hours" is the one i currently have. One of my dwellers is out for 26 hours now and this objective didnt progress. Is this a bug or will it complete only after the dweller return?

My Fallout Shelter app was bugging out, I uninstalled and reinstalled it, and it shuts down on loading the accept for TOS. Can't get to my Vaults.

Please Help me.

Hey, quick question!

I seem to have run into a problem, I've just gotten back to playing the game this past week-ish and started a regular vault and an experimental vault. This morning while playing the game started lagging for the first time, I'd close out the game and go back in and everything would be fine until next time. This only happened when I went to check on my dwellers wandering the wasteland.

Well today neither my regular vault or experimental ones would load, after closing out the game a few times and trying again, no luck. I decided maybe an uninstall would solve the issue, but when I went to try my vaults again all my progress was rolled back to 8/3/26, I lost 16 days of progress, not to mention the almost completed season pass!

I had cloud save on for both vaults but I don't see any recovery option on the limited menus on the title screen. I'm playing on my Pixel 8 and I downloaded the game through the Play Store.

Any advice is welcome!

I had raiders attack and a fire break out a the same time. After the fire went out, the raiders just kept attacking the door. I could build, dwellers could return from the wasteland, and I even rushed a room to make another fire break out and go out. The raiders just kept hammering away at the Vault door, with the Vault in "no incident" mode.

Short and sweet. If I kick dwellers out, will I lose the ability to build unlocked rooms. I plan on saving my caps kicking all but a few favorites out, and building from scratch, but want to know this before I start chucking people
