A suggestion for your next (much needed) update.

When you update the game and power down the monsters, I would like to see an option to customize your vault, even if it is as simple as making elevators merge when next to each other to create hallways, this would make it so your vault can be organized in more fashions and not look tacky. Or at least have a wardrobe/ barber shop room added on, to allow us to customize what our dwellers look like, heck make the customize room cost 99¢ and it would help pay to fix your last update. Just saying, it's kind of boring when all three vaults on your list look alike.

My suggestion on monsters is this: Upgrade room missions should take into account the levels of your people and the levels of your rooms. I just recently found out that rad roach/molerat spawn power is determined by the level of the room, not by the level of your people. This means that if you upgraded too early you will get owned repeatedly. Instead only offer these missions when it is appropriate for the player to upgrade, and warn the player that higher level rooms bring higher level threat.



When monsters encounter an empty room, they instantly spread to all adjacent rooms, increasing in number. If they spawned in one single tile room, they will have 2 monsters, but if they spread they could generate up to 14 additional monsters if you have 3x3 rooms on all sides. This happens very quickly, even before an active player can react. This is even more problematic when you've just lost a few people from another source and can't staff all of your rooms.


Suggestion: Give the player time to move people into the room. 30 seconds should be enough to deal with control issues. If 30 seconds elapse, then they've consumed whatever they can get from there and move on. Preferably they shouldn't increase in number, but just send X number to random rooms around them until their numbers are exhausted. Bandits don't multiply when moving from room to room, why should molerats?

Just tweak them ... the Deathclaws are no threat to my vault already (unless I were to get three attacks in less than a minute) ... maybe they just need to scale them a little differently for the folks who didn't develop their vaults fully ... the biggest gap right now is there is nothing to spend caps on ... I am at the 999,999 max and generating about 500,000-750,000 per week (which now does absolutely nothing) ... they should add a merchant or something to spend the caps on
