    So I bought the 40 lunch box pack. Only got one Legendary character (Amata) and a few legendary weapons. I'm rather disheartened by this

    @Mess: Haha that's exactly what happened. I wanted to relocate the rooms but figured they needed to go out with a last hoorah, so to speak.

    Thing is, pregnant woman can't go to the wasteland. Doesn't let me send them.

    Dagnabbit.

    Thanks though! Hope they patch that up.

    Ah, it hasn't happened to me - I thought that would work. Not sure if there's anyway to kill her as they hide from any fires etc... Perhaps someone who has had it happen will help :)

    How much did that cost? Problem with randomness I guess. In my main save I haven't had anything 'gold' from the lunch boxes you get from achievements, but my glitched game (before I got to the glitch) gave me a gold person and weapon.

    Be even more disheartened when you buy lunch boxes and eventually your app crashes on startup. Not seeing that money back again

    Yes you should, by asking a refund from Apple explaining you lost your IAP due to a crash. They shouldn't have any problem refunding you ;)

    I managed to get my Vault to the max population of 200 people now... and now what?

    And beyond just running out of things to do, I find the game didn't even consider or test what happens when people get here.

    The UI which was serviceable at the beginning is now unwieldly and unresponsive, for example. It takes forever to scroll through the list of all my people because the list is slow and sluggish. There's very little way to access the information I need (like who is injured or irradiated).

    Explorers - which seems like the only thing left to do - rarely yield anything useful and requires days in real time to do so. Checking their progress using their UI is an exercise in tedium. The progress reports were great at the beginning and now they just frustrate me as they load all the progress for all the explorers at once. I only have about 20 of them out right now but with another 20 or so in training, I don't even want to imagine what happens when to the UI when I have a line out the Vault door and stretching halfway across the Wasteland. I expect it will crash every time I check their progress.

    The game also crashes now consistently. When I rush resources, when I move people around, when I change their equipment, when I check the progress of explorers. Everything has a chance to crash the game.

    And this is all made worse by the fact the game takes quite awhile to load. I can't log in, gather my resources and come back again when I have a few minutes to spare. Just now, I left my Vault open to load, it crashed a couple seconds in when Raiders attacked and now I have to load again. My load on my iPad Air is close to a full minute now.

    My vault is impervious to Raider attack (since I planned the first room they enter is essentially a kill box full of high level Dwellers with good guns), fire (since there's so many people everywhere), radroaches (since everyone has guns now) and I have a good surplus of resources since I can't grow my population anymore. I wish at least the enemies attacking the gates would change up once in awhile.

    I'm just playing for lunchboxes now (something made hard by the inane and repetitive quests) and building up a small army of explorers. I hope to create at least one perfect 10 (10 in every SPECIAL) dweller before I quit but it seems like I'm just making stupid goals for myself now for no reason.

    My wife keeps asking me why I keep playing this game.

    And I have a hard time figuring out how to explain it to her.

    I just created one dweller with 10 in all stats and send him with MIRV (or how it is called) and lucky suit +7 out. But i already have all suits and all dwellers and missing only one weapon. But i dont know either why i keep playing. I am missing last three achievements but they are broken. Build all rooms - i did this like 73829x, level up dweller to 25 - same and to lvl 50 that will be soon that one outside with all 10 and lvl 45. But that progress bar on achievements looks broken. I hope they push some good update with actuall stuff to do and achievement fix.

    Another proof that Bethesda didn't really think of the endgame or wanted to encourage players to play for a long time : the caps limit is -only- at 999,999 lol :p
    Funny when you see all those F2P games with billions or trillions currencies.
    That's my main save, no hack, no glitch, no IAP. I was at 200 dwellers in a week and kept playing about twice a day despite the frequent crashes.
    Almost all my dwellers working in food, stim pack, water, etc have a luck suit and I focused on luck training.
    Each time you tap to get the resources you may get caps too, and it happens very often when you have high luck dwellers working there. :D
    Also I usually have 30/40 high level dwellers out there with high luck that come back after a 2 days journey with 4k to 8k caps each.
    Not sure what I'm supposed to do now lol. I guess I'll reorganize the floors as I have to use the caps anyway.

    I am in the process of upgrading all of my Power Plants to Super Reactors, but looking at the numbers I am not convinced they are better. An upgraded Power Plant gives me 49 energy about every 1 minutes 15 seconds. While a fully upgraded Super Reactor gives me 59 energy about every 2 minutes. Both have similar level of strength in the room.

    You would think the more expensive one would be better, but I guess not.

    Note : todays update fixes the infinite lunchbox bug. Just installed the game on my iphone 6+, once you complete those two objectives that your supposed to leave alone two things happen. 1, the turn in for it is always ALWAYS on bottom right screen, never goes away. 2, even if you ignore the equip and sell objectives, the third objective continues on and goes completely random.

    Do not update if your one of those playing with this bug.

    Their benefit isnt in output, the benefit is in storage capacity :)

    Wow, that ending was... Here's hoping for some serious add ons.

    Great game (supported Bethesda by buying 40 boxes) but lacking in the ending department.

    Good grief.

    Jericho has been out in the wasteland for 1 day, 1 hour and 19 minutes and has - so far - used one of his 25 stimpacks.

    Could be waiting for some time, ay!

    Not sure if this has been answered already but does this game transfer save files between devices?

    How do you send out scavengers with more than 25 stimpaks? I did it by accident but have no idea how.
