storage problem

[Eagz]

I upgraded my water production floors to the "better" water purification, as these better floors usually have more storage i decided to destroy a fully upgraded 3 roomed basic water production . after it seems that the water requirement has rocketed all the way to the top of the bar. it also happened to the food production as well.

if anyone has any idea that's much appreciated

Each production room increases the amount of that resource you can store at any given time. So destroying a L3 3x water room will reduce the maximum amount of water you can store at any given moment. That means you'll have less cushion above the required minimum, which can be disasterous if you get hit with something that seriously drains that resource.

Best bet, build some more production rooms (water & food). And it's ok to keep them at a lower level, especially if they are the better versions. They can still out produce a starter version that's a level higher.

Idk, but there really no reason to get garden or purification, because you can just get bottler.

The bottler is expensive as s_hit either to buy, merge and upgrade, but is the single most efficient producting building: produce 2 resources a high quantity of both resources in less space, consuming less energy

i only have a 3-size merged room bottler and is not enough by itself at level 1

i have planned my vault to have 5 basic production rooms for energy, food and water and one of the advanced rooms for each resource and one bottler, all size 3 and max upgrade. however, i must say that i do not know if it will work because i have not come far enough to test my new layout.

build all the different rooms to get an achievement, later in the game you will be maxed out on money with nothing to spend it on except rearranging your vault. I would advise against waiting too long to figure out where you will want your living quarters. 160 or so dwellers and you won't be able to delete living quarters. So plan where you want them and have them 3 wide upgraded so you can use themes on them.

if that all you got for power, that's a very small vault.
