Uninstalling because fire

[Wildly Mild]

This game is just too imbalanced for me to keep playing. I wish combat had more depth to it, But atleast i can manage with proper armor and weapons. However when a fire starts, There's nothing i can do. I must go through 20 stimpaks every fire, And i just had two in a row and lost everyone in my vault. I have to call it quits and just say the fires have won.

Don't upgrade rooms. Inner incidents strength depend on room size and upgrade level.

why would fire kill anyone? its just fire. you fill the room with guys with extinquishers and it goes out.

shouldn't need stimpacks.

Hmm... i must do something wrong. I'm still on my first run and never lost a dweller in fire and only used stimpacks one or two times because someone was alone in a lvl 3 big room and noone near to help o_O
Just sent dwellers(they will return to there last spot afterwards) from the SAME floor to help with the fire and don't lead it spreat.

Fire does damage to everyone in the room, 6 people taking forever to put out the fire, I usually have to use 3 stimpaks on each person by the time it goes out. Am i just never suppose to upgrade rooms?

I think it levels with number of dwellers like enemies do. I'm on 49 dwellers and heard if I hit 50 Radscorpions appear that can take out my whole vault.

Reason I type that is because after countless fires, today I suddenly got one that took 5 dwellers a good 3 minutes to put out and about 10 stims (2 for each person).

I have no choice but to let fires spread when it starts in an unoccupied room, I sure don't have the population to fill every room with people, And even if i did, More people would only make the difficulty go up. This game is NOT balanced.

[Wildly Mild]

Dammit why can't i just suck the air out of all the unoccupied rooms so fires never start. So unfair.

It's not FTL

[Wildly Mild]

There is not a single damn reason that wouldn't work in a vault tho. Storage room don't need no air

Just build your base in a checkered pattern, and never worry about fire or mole spreading ever again:

XDDERRREXX
RRREXXXERR
XXXERRREXX
RRREXXXERR

D= vault door, E= elevator, R= Room, X= Empty spot

I don't recall being allowed to isolate rooms, I'm pretty sure the game wouldn't let me

[Ryuu]

You can.

[Lexie]

You're not isolating rooms, just leaving empty space around and between them.

i found it is better to let the fire spead and burn out and just move your dwellers out of the way if you are in danger of getting hurt too much by fire. The radroaches and molerats attacks are the ones that will kill your shelter quick if you are not carefull.
