As I imagine most traffic here will be from reddit, you can message me there. If you notice any typos, or more importantly any incorrect information, please let me know so I can rectify the problem. If you want to link to a specific question just mouse over the question number to have a link icon appear to its left, then click that to generate a URL for you to copy.

Otherwise if you have a specific question or just want to browse use the section break down on the right to find things. If you've come from reddit, please check the first section before posting.

The game will run in the background as you're reading, but if you do it in a brand new vault before dragging dwellers in then you won't have to worry about resources draining or anything. This opens the VDSG, and near the top is a help tab. To access it tap the Pip-Boy icon in the bottom right, then tap the wallet-looking icon (above the gears). It covers a lot of the basics which I don't bother covering here for that reason. If you're brand new to the game I would strongly recommend reading through the help section in-game first. Welcome to the Fallout Shelter FAQ! There are a lot of common questions that get asked over and over, and there are also many hidden and unintuitive mechanics in the game, so I've put together a guide/FAQ.

The Fallout Anniversary Update is currently only for Android and iOS, and I mostly haven't updated this with anything from it yet. Last updated in version 1.13.13 of Fallout Shelter on August 29th, 2023.
