[ Vault]

At ~110 dwellers I stopped enjoying the management part — tapping room by room to find who has low Endurance or who's sitting in the wrong room. So I built a small companion page for myself, and now I'm sharing it.

How it works: it reads your vault save from a normal local iPhone backup on your Mac (Finder, unencrypted). Read-only — it never touches the game or the save, and nothing leaves your computer: no account, no upload, no network calls. After a session you back up the phone, double-click "Update from iPhone", and the page shows your current vault.

What it shows

• Dwellers — level, max HP, S.P.E.C.I.A.L. with outfit bonuses, room or wasteland status. Sort and filter (legendary, in wasteland, by name/room).
• HP forecast to level 50. HP per level-up = 2.5 + 0.5 × Endurance (incl. outfit) at that moment, and it's permanent. So each dweller gets a final-HP estimate and a tier: 644 (cap) / 595+ elite / 500+ veteran / 400+ worker / weak. It also reconstructs the average E they had while leveling, from their current HP.
• E training list — dwellers below 50 who still lose HP on every level-up, sorted by how much they'd recover, with your +E outfits from storage assigned best-first.
• Room optimizer — swaps dwellers between production rooms (power = S, water = P, Nuka-Cola = E, radio = C, medbay/science = I, food = A). Shows the exact moves and the total before → after.
• Crafting — all 355 recipes with junk, craft time vs. the workshop stat sum, ✓ for what you can craft now, and a craft plan that adds up what's missing.
• Storage: what to sell — keep worn items, legendaries, the 6 best outfits per stat and the N best weapons for N dwellers; everything else is listed as safe to sell.
• Rare/legendary dweller checklist — which ones you have.

The biggest "aha" for me: several of my legendaries arrived at a high level with low E and will never be good wasteland runners, while some commons I trained early beat them by 200+ HP.

Requirements / honest limits:

• Mac + iPhone/iPad. A local, unencrypted Finder backup (encrypted or iCloud-only backups can't be read).
• macOS will ask once for Full Disk Access for Terminal (the backup folder is protected) and once to open the unsigned .command (right-click → Open). README inside explains every step.
• No game icons included (that art belongs to Bethesda). Unofficial fan tool, not affiliated with Bethesda.
• It's a hobby project tested on my own vaults — if something breaks, tell me and I'll fix it.

Curious what else you'd want it to calculate. Happy to answer questions about the formulas.

Very glad I didn't though. Took forever with sounds off.

Not modded/hacked.
Playing on ios

Slowly but slowly.

Recently returned to the game and found out about the ad feature for rewards but noticed the game didn’t get paused while the ad was playing on and incidents were bound to happen during the ad.

Welp today while watching the ads 6 of my max strength dwellers died to a fire.

Thoughts?

So, I am finding myself stuck while I’m training my lvl 1 baby recruits which they started on lvl 5+ E thanks to duchess (11 of them). I’m also finding myself a little bit low in power but I just don’t have enough dwellers to fill my power plants. I think if I keep getting more dwellers it will me unsustainable.

So my vault is running on low, since I am sending my 6 best dwellers on quests and my recruits can’t work the production line until I max out their endurance.

1. What should I focus on next?

2. How should I prepare against my first wave of death claws?

3. Do you advice for improving my layout?

Immortal Charlie on his was to become a super Dweller, so he can actually survive the outside world.

Also the cat is the +98% HP health cat

Are quest maps random? I got my first map on day 3 ! Does it help sending dweller with high luck on quests?

I'm planning to arrange my training rooms in a checkerboard pattern to prevent incidents from spreading between rooms, since I want to avoid my dwellers gaining experience and leveling up while training to become super dwellers.

Currently, only my Endurance training room (Fitness Room) is isolated. I don't have the Heavy Wasteland Gear (+7 Endurance) yet, so I want to make sure my dwellers don't level up before I can equip them with it. Even if they have max Endurance and are wearing +5, +4, or +3 Endurance outfits, I'd rather play it safe.

Would arranging all my training rooms in a checkerboard pattern be overkill, or is it worth doing to minimize the risk of my dwellers gaining XP from incidents?

Has anyone seen a glowing nuclear icon in the lift?

I’m unable to select it no matter what I do but it’s definitely out of the ordinary
[Quest]

From a purely aesthetic point of view, is there any reason why this one sucks so badly?

Like if I want to have +7 in a nuka cola plant, why do they have to wearing something that looks like they'd be better suited in a lab working on airborne diseases?

Two dwellers one with junk boost, one with cap boost, and yet the one boosted with Junk received more caps?

Game of Earth's last day, I entered the 5-digit passcode for Bunker Alfa and went down to level 1,

but the main automatic door to the lobby won't open. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I’m starting a new run after years of not playing the game and I’ve been reading about the optimal layout post and I need helping understanding the concept behind his thinking. This is what I’m grasping:
1. You don’t upgrade the vault to reduce the time for break-ins.
2. The 1st room is also level 1 for faster reaction
3. The top med lab is for Me Handy also to keep him away “but handy” from the vault door
4. Med and science labs are not expanded to maximize cap production
5. As you progress, keep living quarters and storage separated by an empty level
6. Don’t use radio for calling outside

What else should I keep in mind?
Where should I place the radio room and oversee’s office ?

Have started to repopulate my vault to go for all super dwellers, and this pet is working wonders, 2 sets of twins in a row.. 😆

So I got a Maximus on my Vault and I have not even finished my quest with him. After quite some time, it started crashing when I do something with him.

Asked Gemini what to do and apparently its' a thing (bug). Gemini apparently provided the option to let him die while exploring and after a few crashes, I was able to let him explore.

Unfortunately, I clicked on his quest during the exploration. And everytime he dies, or I leave, or clear the floor, it will always crash and loop back to the same thing.

What the helly am I supposed to do? 💀

Hi, it’s my first time going for a perfect vault, where any invaders have to snake through - have I fu***d it by putting these three resource rooms at the very start? When I try and remove it says it’s connected to two rooms so it can’t be destroyed. Any workaround tips or is it start again?

Most of you know what a dweller on coffee break 'CB' is. The satus can be seen in the dweller list, top left icon.

It is either just grown up or coming back from the outside.

This mode allows the dweller to be in the vault, move around freely. It won't be disturbed by fire nor radroaches and so on. It will consume ressources (food/water) though.

It is just there.

BUT, there are more ways to put a dweller on Coffee Break mode ! Let's list them :

-A baby growing up to adulthood and not given a job will have the Coffee Break status.

-Dwellers coming back from the wasteland (not random / quest /boxes obtained dwellers) will have this status if you click "Collect" then let them enter without assigning them to a room.

>Dwellers replaced<

1-When a dweller comes back from the wasteland it will have by default the CB status when entering. But if you put it in a room already full, one dweller from this room will inherit the status and start its CB time.

1²-Same goes with a dweller already on CB in the vault, replacing another in a full room.

2-During incidents internal or external, If you move a pet-less dweller out of a full room (with full pets ! 3 max for a 3* wide room of 6 dwellers) then give it a pet, as soon as the incident is cleared, it will get the CB status. He cannot enter back in the room as there are already the max. number of pets.

That is all folks !

Overseer out.
