Fires are the worst

[Unseen]

Just my opinion but fires are bad for anyone, high lvl, or low... Sure rad scorpions radiate people and are hard to kill, and sometimes bring a friend, but least you can all team up on them and shoot them dead relatively quickly with good weapons. Fire is all the same it seems no matter what gear you have. Its really lame, fire starts in wearhouse, spreads everywhere, slowly takes down everyones health, and if one person is in a training room while others are putting out fires, they often die. So yea we need fire marshall bill as a special character.

I've never had problems with fire, mostly because I always have stimpacks ready.
The only incidents that I "dread" are deathclaws (LOTS of damage if your're not ready) and radscorpions (Because they deal almost as much damage as deathclaws, while they give radiation damage AND eats your power (LOTS of power, real fast) and they jump to random rooms, and it's almost as if they get fully healed when they jump room)

Its not the stimpacks that's the problem for me, I got lots of stimpacks as well, and deathclaws and radscorpions, yea they suck but least if they kill someone its fast then I can just revive unlike these damn fires that keep spreading and keep hurting people, slowly, and also they make everyone stop what they are doing, I freakin hate fires.

I wish they'd turn off the auto-zoom on fires and raids etc. You have minimal time during a fire to deal with it before it spreads, and right at that moment the game grabs your camera away from your control and zooms in on the fire. There should be a toggle to disable that so I can actually respond quickly without having to pull back the camera first.

Yea I hate it too, I've been close to tapping the unknown stranger then bam fire zoom.

Same.

It's worse at the moment though, because I have an objective to click on the Mysterious Stranger 15 times.
Game-created zooming in and out (not my choice) cost me 2x.

Yea I need to survive one more deathclaw attack for a lunchbox, right about now I want them to attack more so than bs fires.

Fires are... so easy

[Der Hexer]

just don't leave a single low HP dweller alone in a 3-wide lvl3 room. they can handle incidents in 1-wide lvl1 rooms, everything else is for dwellers with more HP. it's just how the game handels damage calculation on dwellers and the incident.

bikause dhey du wen lefd alown

[Tetsuri]

wai let them spread tho?

[Der Hexer]

because it doesn't hurt anyone in an isolated aera. and in populated areas you should have the propper amount of dwellers to take care of it.

usually people tend to have issues with incidents when they're upgrading their rooms too fast for their untrained (and undressed) dwellers.

[Tetsuri]

uh, obv et does hurt because OP sayin et spread everywhere and ppl die.

Sound liek a personal problem, namely, a poorly designed vault, just sayin

OR

for some reason having lots of rooms and spreading the manning extremely thin.

Ask Carinth. He knows how to design terrible vaults where incidents spread everywhere.

sigh.. really they are not that hard, they follow the same'ish event strength threshold level like critter vault spawns.

3 wide, fully upgraded rooms in massive vaults with lots of high lvl dwellers = very strong events.

3 wide (2 wide, etc) non upgraded rooms " " " = weaker events spawns.

Use common sense strategy to put those fires out. Micro manage those dwellers. Theres no vaault fire department.. Hmmn that reminds me, why cant i build a security office, a prison, or that fire department. Now that i think about it ....

SO, in conclusion, design your vault better, and this won't be a problem.
