All Things Fallout, A Non Game Specific Discussion Thread Options

[TheCheshireKhajiit]

Khajiit had something to say related to the Fallout series but didn't see a thread that it would fit in. So he made one!

This one was thinking that he would love to see a spinoff game from the main Fallout series that takes place in post apocalyptic China. Khajiit thinks it would be interesting to see things from their point of view and to see what is going on over there after the Great War ended.

None of our real life physics seem to matter in the Fallout universe. I mean, you can cure critical wounds by gulping down a ton of water, lol. Also, we should probably keep in mind that technology developed differently than in our own timeline for some things and the Fallout universe has 50 years on our own. I imagine Vaults run something like this:

Vaults are equipped with advanced technology that allows for air to either be recycled or to be cleansed of rads as it’s brought in from the outside through vents (see above airlock premise). Likewise, water is brought in and cleansed through water purifiers (a major component of these are the “water chips� that you are seeking in the original Fallout, and James mentions doing experiments with ones from 101, indicating that there may be large amounts of these stocked in the Vaults that were intended to run for a long amount of time). As for food, it could either be grown in special hydroponic sections of the vault (not sure how canon anything in Fallout Shelter is, but if I’m not mistaken you can grow food in rooms called “Gardens�), or stocked with huge amounts of prepackaged stuff (I mean, that [censored] is still edible after 200 years; some crazy preservative techniques going on there, lol).

Power. It’s definitely nuclear, and nuclear technology in the Fallout universe is leaps and bounds more advanced and widespread than in our own universe. Their understanding of nuclear power was such that they were able to power every day automobiles, and make nuclear batteries to power other things, so I think it’s logical to assume that their nuclear reactors for power plants and vaults are way more efficient than in our universe.

Population. Well, frankly, most of the vaults seem like they weren’t really supposed to shelter conscious residents for longer than a couple of generations, with 101 and maybe a few others as exceptions (111 was only supposed to operate for 180 days before an all clear signal was given and the staff was to exit the vault. Obviously that didn’t go according to plan, or maybe it did, and violence brought a swift end to that vault’s non-frozen population). In 101’s case, the whole point of the experiment was to test how the Overseer’s role functioned in a vault that was supposed to never open (Source). I don’t think VaultTec had a set plan in place to control 101’s population, but rather left it up to the Overseer to deal with.

Wow, that was a lot, lol. It’s kinda fun to think about honestly! The logistics of it just seem impossible, but when you remember Fallout universe =/= our universe, it makes it a little easier to suspend disbelief. At least that’s the way I see it any way.
