Game breaking "Power Bug" in Fallout Shelter.

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 5:34 pm

I just made an account to share this issue and have spent the last half hour trying to figure out how to upload a damn image. I took a screenshot of the app but for the life of me have no way of getting that image uploaded here. So I'll describe the problem instead.



It says I have 50/50 Power (new Vault). Then for some reason the WHOLE BAR becomes red, as if the sufficient point for energy is at the very beginning, making it IMPOSSIBLE to have sufficient energy. As you all know, no power means rooms cannot operate. So because of this, my diner began to shut down and now most of my Dwellers are starving. I have no clue how this happened. It occurred quickly and without warning this morning as I turned the game on. Needless to say I had to start a new Vault. svcks too as this had one awesome lunchbox prizes and since that is completely random it's a damn shame I have to throw it all away.



I did not see this problem posted anywhere else, so perhaps I'm the first. This was played on the IPhone 5S with an 8.3 iOS.


I did not receive any other big bugs that have been posted on the forums multiple times, such as killer rad roaches, pregnancy/baby issues, and constant game crashes. Aside from this huge bug which forced me to begin anew, everything was running smoothly.



I doubt there's a real fix to this other than the game developers themselves looking into it, but if anyone has suggestions, I'm all ears.

Build another power plant. It sounds like you maybe expanded too quickly and have a demand for power that exceeds your storage capacity.



Personally, I'm at 140 workers and still have my 3 slot power plant and a level 2 3 slot nuclear reactor which is still working for me. I didn't need a second power generator and just picked up the nuclear reactor when I unlocked it.

Yeah how do you use so little power? I have five double level three power rooms and a level three nuclear reactor with 75 dwellers, four double level thee cafeterias and one level two garden, and six water treatment rooms, plus various training rooms and living quarters.

I'll ask the same, how do you get by with so little power. I've got about 15 rooms not counting the door and three of those are fully upgraded and combined power rooms, fully manned with my strongest dwellers. They've got blackouts constantly.
