How to Use

Click the button "Check All Versions" below to download and install it. After launching the app, you’ll start with a small vault and a handful of dwellers. Begin by constructing essential rooms like power generators, diners, and water treatment facilities. Assign dwellers to these rooms according to their strengths—those with high Strength excel in power production, while high Agility improves food output. Keep an eye on resource meters to prevent shortages. As your population grows, expand your vault downward, unlocking new room types and capabilities. Send explorers into the wasteland to find loot and return with valuable supplies. Regularly check in to manage incidents, equip your dwellers with better gear, and complete objectives to steadily grow your thriving underground community.
