Very little caps gained with maxed out Luck

Post » Sat Feb 13, 2016 4:53 am

When all of the resource gatherers in a room have maxed Luck, I am getting less caps than when they had 1-7 luck.


I've got a 200+ happy vault, 400k credits etc., been playing since launch.


When I realized that Luck gave you more caps when collecting, I started training my whole vault to 7+ Luck. I enjoyed massive amounts of caps when collecting. I went ahead and trained all 200 to 10 Luck, and now, 100% of my production facilities have workers with 10 Luck.


I get almost zero caps when collecting. I have 21-25 or so rooms generating, and can literally do several collection rounds and get nothing. It's as though having 10 Luck were as bad as having zero, and no collection bonuses (or extremely little) are being handed out.


Apparently I can't post links - but I'd be happy to show videos or images as proof. Having maxed out Luck means LESS return on caps. It's frustrating. I'm making a minuscule amount of cap rewards. I'd love to hear from others with maxed out Luck dwellers as well to confirm.

Found another user on Reddit who confirmed this bug. (Not being able to post links really helps.)



Word to the wise - if you're getting great caps with a high Luck score, DON'T max out to 10. For whatever reason this will treat your rooms almost as though they have zero Luck instead.



Would be awesome to get a response from Bathesda about this. As the game progresses and people start maxing out their stats, more and more people are going to be seeing this bug too :stare:

Indeed like most I've been playing from the start and I'm at the stage now where I have multiple first gen dwellers all fully maxxed out and manning various resource rooms. I also have very little caps output too!


Its sadly too late for me but I hope others heed the advice given by OP. Virtually all my income is from maxxed out dwellers I am throwing out into the wasteland now as resource rooms yield nothing.

I was about to post about this very same thing. Almost all my rooms are staffed with maxed workers who are producing no caps.
