Calling dwellers with the radio room...

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 6:09 pm

Greetings Overseers,


I have a level 2/2 radio room with 2 charisma level 10 "moderators" hoping that they attract high level dwellers but they don't! Has anyone ever attracted wasteland dwellers that were any higher than the normal ones that come knocking on the vault door?

Yes, I have collected dwellers via the radio room before. One of my vaults has a 2 space radio room (4 people can work there), not upgraded and I have 3 dwellers in there with charisma between 4 and 6 I think.


Now and then you will see a "collection icon" on the radio room (like the ones in other rooms when production is finished). When you click on it, a dweller will come running towards the vault. But it took a long time before I first saw that icon.


And I don't think I ever had it happen in my vault that only has like a one room radio station. I think the more people are calling out, the higher the chances of a dweller hearing you? LOL not sure...

They will never attract "high level" dwellers, only Level 1's. I've had two Level 10 Charisma dwellers working in a station and got more dwellers frequently, all of which were Level 1 with Level 1 stats.

I have a max upgraded radio station, with everyine at 9 charisma and above, and I've gotten 4 level 1 dwellers in the last 4 days.

Why is everybody forgetting about luck? Luck applies to everything, always has in a fallout game when it comes to issues of chance and probability.



I have a maxed 3x1 radio room, with six dwellers, all with 10 charisma AND 10 luck.



I have no problem securing new dwellers. But no, none have ever been higher than level 1.

It's actually kind of pointless. It does attract people to your vault, but never legendaries, and getting women pregnant is both faster and easier to control.



The ONLY reason I even built it was for the happiness bonus. But I have to wonder if it's even necessary to staff it in that case?





I wish it would instead attract trade caravans to give you caps. THEN it would be useful.
