Multiple Suggestions: UI Issues, Notifications, and more!

Post » Sun Feb 14, 2016 2:23 am

Ok, so I have been playing Fallout Shelter… A LOT… ever since it came out, and I have quite a few suggestions, so I thought I'd post them here and hope that you lovely people at Bethesda consider at least some of them.


1. [MAJOR] Please move the Objective Update pop up. Where it appears now blocks the "Rush" button which makes it a real pain when you are working on a "Rush (x) rooms successfully." objective. My suggestion would be to have it appear at the top center of the screen, either where the expanded resource information appears or just below that.


2. I would like to see a little more control over Notifications, maybe tucked away in an "Advanced Settings" section. This section would have individual toggles for the current notifications as well as a few additional ones I'd like to suggest:

a. Notification when one of your wasteland explorers dies.

b. Notification when all of your resource rooms are ready (I hardly ever open the app when it tells me my first room is ready).

c. Notification when all of your wasteland explorers (not counting those you haven't recalled) have returned. (Same logic as above).


3. I would REALLY like to have an "Evict" option to get rid of a Vault Dweller, so that I can quickly add one of the special dwellers from the lunch boxes, or for whatever reason. Perhaps have it so that when you drag a Vault Dweller outside the vault, you have one button that says, "Explore" and one button that says, "Evict."


4. Give us a way to reverse the sorting in the Vault Dweller list. For everything except SPECIAL, this could be done simply by tapping the header a second time. For SPRCIAL, perhaps adding a small triangle or arrow to the left or right of the header which can be tapped to point up or down, reversing the sort order in the process.


5. Please add an icon (an exclamation point, maybe?) above Vault Dwellers in training rooms who have reached the maximum level for that room.


6. Consider adding icons to the Vault Dweller list showing whether or not they have a weapon or outfit equipped, and allow tapping on these icons to equip them with a weapon or outfit or to change their current weapon or outfit without having to leave the Vault Dweller list. I'm thinking a hollow/filled shirt icon for outfits, and a fist/gun icon for weapons.


If you're reading this, Bethesda crew, please consider these ideas, and hopefully implement some (or all) of them sometime in the future.

Good point!





I have them turned off permanently so no opinion on this.



Agreed!




Agreed, although I think a single toggle reverse order button might be the easiest solution.



I think I have 3 dwellers now with a max. stat, but with 21 triple training rooms in use this will definitely help in the near future.




It would be nice to see the actual equipped weapon/outfit icon in the list. I often try check on my 200 dwellers to see if they have the best weapons equipped. Having the weapons shown in the list would help in this case. If you could equip weapons or outfits from the list this would be even better. Outfits could be left out though, since it's easy to see whether a dweller has something equiped or not.



Anyway, some nice suggestions!
