Inbreeding

[PoohPus]

IS it a thing in this game? Do I need to keep track of parenthood?

You can't directly inbreed as far as I can tell. They just say, "It's so nice to hang out with my family," if you have like a father and daughter in the Living Quarters.

I try to hyphenate the names on birth/after birth like Mother-Father as best as I can so I won't even waste time to put them together in Living Quarters to find out they are parent-child.

I use the mothers surname for boys and the fathers surname for daughters.

Smart, I like that more.

I started I think with it being randomly done or with everyone using their mother's name, but I'm gonna start using that now. Thanks~

The Vault is Full of Incest All with All. Are we perverse? When we play this Game lol?
Bethesda must little bit think about this.

I read somewhere...like in the game's tool tips or their website...that family members CANNOT interbreed. However, I'm pretty sure two step-siblings (they have the same father, I was trying to selectively breed for high stats), tried to "get it on".

I found this out trying to organise an Away Team (for an Overseer quest), so I just plopped the step-siblings in the Living Quarters just to identify them...and they started chatting each other up.

I just wish I thought of giving them hyphenated surnames like JimmyLurks mentioned above.

The Incest works lol. You can use a one man with High C to sleep with all women. And then the Female Childern sleep also with the Father... This is Crazy and Peverse for a Game! The names don't make a difference. Full Incest Vault!

Well I got a guy called Ricardo in the Vault he has gotten 9 out of 12 women in the vault pregnant, someone in the vault gets some :D

Afair in the first versions of Fallout Shelter it was possible to inbreed but with some later patch they forbid it which means brother, sisters can't have chieldrens. But thats not really a problem. If you want more dwellers just put them all together, thats it.

There's also no point in breeding high stats dweller. The chance to get super chieldren is very low. If you have 200 dwellers later on you can put about 70-80 in training rooms, 35 goes into the wasteland and the other ~100 are for ressources and armor/weapon production.

so what are the rules regarding inbreeding prohibitions. I just took one woman and made her have 20 children so a good chunk of my vault is brother/sister.

So lets example

A and B have child C

A and B have Child D

None of these people can breed.

what if A and E had a child, could that child breed with C or D?

What if C and E had a child could that child breed with D?

I don't have that answer.

I just wanted to say I noticed after a while that I had to few families breeding (although I had more than one). I solved it by identifying those that didn't have children and started breeding them instead. Then after a few children on all of them I started relying more on newcomers from the outside for new children. That way I found there was a lot less hassle than keeping records of family lines and sht.

I also practise that last thingie. But I have trouble seeing how it helps switching over the surnames?

This is pure game created by Mormon. All are 100% hypocrite because you have to manage 200 dwellers and there are no warning about dating when you put 2 dwellers in living quarters.

If at least game warn you like "i can't dating with my daugther" or "hello my daugther" instead of letting 2 dwellers in oposite way indefinitely, i would consider game as not so hypocrite.

This is full ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. Same guy can breed all women in vault, same women can have 2045 babies by years, and we have to take care without warning about parents and adult child from them.

All we want is babies fast. That don't mean we are incestuous. We just want to be not annoyed by all those hypocrites.

If you zoom in on the living-room the would-be couple are in, they will imidiately display a conversation that makes it clear wether they are flirting (or attempting to) or wether they are family.

If they're related they immediately say "great spending time with family at home" this happens even if the surnames are different.

I meant to turn my vault into a social experiment with only the best families children being allowed to make the next gen while old gen is ent out into wastes, but it's taken me ages to make my vault so don't feel like rebuilding to give each family it's own living space
