games with breeding mechanics like fallout shelter

Oh, and 'dancing' is also the best way to increase the happiness of your dwellers. There are even quests ('objectives') like 'Have 12 Male and Female couples dance in the Living Quarters', with 'dancing' being an euphemism, you can't dance without a pregnancy resulting.

Repeat until every woman is pregnant, and you will soon have enough dwellers in your vault. You need to drag each woman into the living quarters together with a man who isn't a direct blood relative, dress them both up in gear that increases their charisma the most (which in my game weirdly is a bishop's outfit for the man and a baby doll nightdress for the woman), and a few minutes later the two will disappear into the bedroom in the background, from which the woman will come back pregnant. So as you need quite a lot of dwellers, for example to unlock new room types, Fallout Shelter quickly degenerates into a human breeding simulator.įrom a pure minmax perspective, if not all of the women in your vault are pregnant, you are playing it wrong. You can get rare dwellers from lunchboxes, which aren't that frequent either if you don't buy lots of those lunchboxes with real money. You can attract outside dwellers with a radio station, but I haven't had much luck with that yet. Your shelter is inhabited by 'dwellers', and shortly after the start of the game you stop getting dwellers from outside.

You manage a vault in the world of Fallout and need to keep a balance between resource production and resource needs.

And it is with some surprise that I found Fallout Shelter to be offensively sexist.įallout Shelter is a mobile game which falls into the same general category as let's say Tiny Tower. Having said that, it does happen that I object to some particularly sexist content. I do believe in gender equality, but don't agree that the best way to get there is forcing quotas for women in every job, or turning half of the Warlords of Draenor into Warladies.
