six and Contraceptives If At Max Population Limit?

Post » Sun Feb 14, 2016 4:19 am

If you reach the population limit of the vault it should be IMPOSSIBLE for the girls to get pregnant. Maybe say that the Overseer puts contraceptives in the food.



BUT the couples should still be able to have six once per day to increase their happiness... but in that case the girl never conceives once the vault is full. Currently if the vault is full and a dweller gets pregnant or is already pregnant they STAY that way until you kill off another dweller. Until that point the pregnant female is basically useless (and isn't that sixist... how many women out there still work until they give birth).




Also maybe there should be a random number tested to see if normal, pre pop limit six gets the girl pregnant as well. If they don't get pregnant perhaps they should only get 50% of the happiness.

six shouldnt always result in pregnancy (give it a 50/50 shot), while at the same time six should always be possible to give the dwellers that much-needed happiness boost. I mean, really, being cockblocked because the overseer says "too many people!" is dumb.

Its a simple game no need to complicate things. The current system works fine with regards to 'relationships.' Couples hooking up is not design to represent sixual liaisons in general, it is designed to represent when a woman gets pregnant, that's it. And because that is what it is representing then it should always work.



Populations pressures resulting from pregnancy when at max capacity SHOULD be represented and not be magically ignored. It is one of the issues with vault life and the overseer should have to deal with it and not let the game automatically stop this challenge.

Contraceptives? That would be counter to the goals of those fine people running the Societal Preservation Program (the REAL purpose of the vaults) who have added fertility drugs to the food supply.

Sounds to me you found the god-mode bug. Just get an all-female population that's always pregnant with only power rooms and training facilities. :)


They won't be killed off by radiation or famine, but you'll need power for training

If you reach max population and women are pregnant then send more people out to the wastes to die off.

Well, to be fair it would be alot more entertaining to make em hook up to raise their happiness other than rushing or building 10 radio rooms to "cheat" through 100% happiness.



I also HATE panicking when they start dancing and I have to split them up; that daily quest has costed me a couple of "deadly random accidents" that as an Overseer I'm not proud of /sigh
