Q: I'm up for the challenge, should I try it?Ī: I would only recommend survival mode if you've played the game normally, and are aware of how hidden mechanics like dweller health and incident difficulty work. Survival mode vaults will be marked with a radiation symbol with an 'S' on it in the vault list. You check a box off at the top on the vault creation screen, and it warns you twice about the difficulty asking if you're sure.

Another important thing to note is that in a normal vault deathclaws only attack at 61 population and higher, while in a survival vault they attack at 35 population and higher. Incidents occur much more frequently and are tougher, resources are consumed faster, and dweller death is permanent (no reviving). Play to have fun and do what you enjoy, period.When you choose vault number - there's a checkbox above to activate it.Ī: Survival mode is a significantly harder version of the same game. what your ppls issue is, if you dont like it, dont play it, period.Īnd btw metagame, like not leveling your dwellers isnt exploiting, it just means you got a brain if you figure it out (yourself), unlike most of this planets population.

Personaly I deleted my normal save, cuz I figured how even more useless/waste of time it is compared to survival mode and idk. You just simply sound like searching for an exucse for your ego, wich is pathetic, because you ditched survival mode. This is not a game that is meant to be 'actively played', if you think so, thats pure illusion on your side and you should analyse the game mechanics 'chease' exploit ? Yeah I can confirm your assumpation officaly, survival mode rewards you for not playing.īefore you go to bed, you assign your dwellers to training rooms, level up their according special the next day (potentialy, the whole vault, given you take enough effort/got the brains) = profit. Whats your point ? Want opinions ? Conformation ? Declines ?
