Hi All,
I'm using a fully updated iPad Air 2 running iOS 8.3 with 6.8GB storage available on the device. I have 83 Dwellers and 39 Rooms.
I downloaded the game almost the moment it became available in the App Store and have played it daily for hours at a time...Until yesterday. I didn't check my Vault before bed and then left it a little later the next morning than I usually do and I think that's probably where I shot myself in the foot because when I finally got on, I had about 6 pregnant dwellers ready to have babies and 2 dwellers coming in from the Wasteland... BUT this is where things get weird. And I promise I'm not crazy.
Straight up, I name the first baby dweller that pops up, select a few rooms to collect their resources before the next one pops up, name it, select a few more rooms, name the next one that pops up, select the radio room which kicks off the new dweller thing but having built a new radio room the day before (so now I have 2 radio rooms) I noticed that when I select one, the other doesn't change. "Does this mean I get 2 dwellers from the wasteland then?" I'm thinking to myself. I worry and quickly add 3 more living area rooms (connected and then fully upgraded) encase I don't have enough room (But I know I do, it said I had enough room for 116) aaaaand that's when I notice that the first wasteland dweller at the door... Is a child. I thought they only came as fully grown advlts?? I'm like "Okay, roll with it..." but then realise that I can't move it into the vault because children are basically interaction-less. WHAT? Aaaaand again, that's when I notice that my vault babies are ALSO outside? Again, I can't move them into the vault! And before I can even build more rooms or something, thinking that maybe I do need more rooms despite the game saying I have enough, freaking Raiders come!
So I have 3 children stuck outside - 2 of my own vault children and 1 seemingly orphan child wastelander. 1 is making a face (the face they make when they run through burning rooms etc) and the other 2 are still smiling. I quickly go find Star Paladin Cross and move her to the vault door and while I'm still trying to find Harkness, the Raiders get in. I can't find him and scrolling through the list takes too long. I give up and move someone closer to the vault door but but then I see only 2 Raiders and just assume that Star has already killed off one. Nope!
THERE WAS A CHILD RAIDER. IS THAT NORMAL? I have never encountered one! It was in the second room connected to the Vault door that this child raider pops up with a laser pistol and my 2 dwellers in that room are shooting at her and then she dies and is on the ground and then disappears. I am so speechless that I don't even screenshot.
While that's happening, the children outside the vault glitched out and ended up in the vault door room but then they're making a running forward motion while going backwards and then they're outside the vault again and then my game just shuts down. And that's it. I haven't been able to open it since.
In conclusion:
- Can children dwellers be called in from the wasteland via the radio room? Has anyone else had this?
- Has anyone encountered child raiders? I honestly thought that may have been some kind of Easter Egg. Anyone?
- And children being born inside the vault are placed outside the vault?
Please help. And yes, I have submitted this to Bethesda Support as well and their recommendation was to come here.
