Likewise, keep track of your resources - food and water in particular can take a hit if you're breeding heavily, so keep your production rooms populated and upgraded. Children will similarly flee, but also can't be equipped with gear or do any work at all, so let them roam around freely until they mature.įinally, be sure you have enough space for your Dwellers to be born, by building enough Living Quarters rooms in your Vault. Instead, pregnant Dwellers will flee the room to avoid taking any damage, which means that whilst outfits can be useful, equipping pregnant Dwellers with weapons will be a waste. It can take some time for the woman to give birth - normally around eight hours or so from our experience - and a similar amount of time again for the child to grow into an employable adult Dweller.Īlso worth noting is the fact that pregnant Dwellers can continue work in their rooms as normal, and can be equipped with both outfits and weapons, but can't fight or tend to disasters.

After a few minutes of small talk, cheesy pickup lines and awkward, musicless dancing, they'll run off to the back room and return soon after, the female now with child. Two Dwellers will decide to embark on a romantic snuggle if you place a male and a female together in the Living Quarters room. Fallout Shelter Trailer - Fallout Shelter at E3 2015 Breeding, on the other hand, is a certainty, and a method which can allow the number of your Dwellers to grow exponentially. Dwellers will sporadically turn up outside your Vault from the Wasteland, and we believe that's made more likely the more people you send out to explore, but this is a difficult mechanic to influence and an unwise one to rely on. The main way to get more Dwellers is through breeding them. Here, we'll be explaining the best ways to keep on top of Dweller happiness, plus we'll explain Dweller SPECIALs, dweller breeding, and the best dweller placement. Even laying dubious ant metaphors aside however, there is a more strange - and ethically dubious - side to maximising the efficient running of your Vault, and that's the practice of eugenics.

You, the Queen, must protect the colony and secure its future by ensuring they scurry away at their jobs as efficiently as possible. In Fallout Shelter, Dwellers are your worker ants.
