though it is abit weird it has some nice properties: To complete the look, deleting the Vault Door elevator is recommended, but not necessary. Dweller mobility is somewhat slower, but how often do you move Dwellers anyway? Also forces Raiders/Deathclaws to travel your rooms from top to bottom. Simply put, this layout looks fantastic and allows for rooms of any size combination. You can also stop incidents immediately by removing all Dwellers from the room. Prevents incidents from spreading from room to room.

Similar to the 3-4-1, but allows the Vault to avoid having a single room on every floor at a small cost in movement efficiency.

It is also aesthetically pleasing with it’s symmetry, and guarantees that a Dweller is never further than three rooms from an elevator (Note: hyphens indicate elevator placement)Ī really efficient layout to use is having triple rooms on the outside and doubles on the inside. Below are a few different layouts for you to try keep your vault running smoothly. Starting your vault out on a good foot can make a huge difference in the long run! Since Bethesda gave us a ton of space to use for out vaults, it allows the player to get quite creative with their designs.

Seal the buckets and carry them to the surface as needed.UPDATE: Layouts changed to reflect our knowledge of game’s mechanics. It isn’t ideal, but it is an effective way to keep your shelter safe and sanitary.

Another option is to use small plastic toilets or buckets.

You may not be able to get clean, running water in an emergency, so you may need to install an expensive system of tanks, pipes, and filters if you want more comfort.

Many shelters do not feature running water, so a regular toilet isn’t usually an option.

You can also try joining the pipe to the air pump’s ventilation pipe. You may need to dig through the dirt so the pipe exits above the plastic canopy over the entryway.

To install the ventilation pipe, run it through the nearest entryway, if possible.

A good location for the toilet is near the exit furthest from your sleeping quarters. You will need to install a ventilation pipe, running it from the toilet to the surface. The most efficient way is a composting toilet, similar to what you would see in an RV. You have several options for installing toilets. Set up a toilet in a separate area of the shelter.
