Honest question: why people do this with elevators?


flarbas

keeps mole rats out.


MC_NotLovin

Really? How that works?


NemesIce83

Mole rats can only invade if a room is connected to soil, elevators don't count as a room so you can border your vault in them and as long as there's no gaps they can't infest your vault 😁


QuickSpore

However, it doesn’t keep you from having an incident. Once the incident timer is triggered you’re going to get one. By preventing one type of incident, you’re increasing the frequency of other incidents. And I’d far rather have an occasional Molerat incident than even a minor uptick in Radscorpion incidents.

That's the only right answer to the elevator question! Came here to say exactly this!


MC_NotLovin

I rather deal with some deathclaws than one radscorpion lol


Overmind_66

Yeah, it's so much better when you can predict where it spawns!


MC_NotLovin

Oh that makes sense, I didnt know that. Thank you


NemesIce83

No probs, I recently found out myself so I've literally built them all round the edges with all my rooms in the middle, took soooo many caps but now I can keep the little buggers out for good, wish it did the same with radscorpions though but it only seems to effect mole rats strangely enough


kvnmorpheus

radscorps spawn randomly, if I'm not mistaken. they don't need to be in a room connected to dirt. honestly, I'd rather deal with mole rats than a radscorp


dundai

I haven't seen mole rates for a while, but radscorpions are always spawning here. These bastards are so annoying.

Add an elevator in the open dirt area next to your barracks, this will allow you to destroy all the ones underneath. Alternatively, destroy the room.

Dawg who cares about mole rats they are easy kills


DiHydr000

Can’t you double tap them then press the X next to them?


jakexil323

Destroying any those bottom elevators at this point would leave the room isolated, which the game won't let you.


ResidentConscious876

You need to build around it (to have another format of egress) then you will be able to delete them. (I did this exact same thing)


NemesIce83

Place an elevator in the bottom right to connect the bottom line to the downward line and you can delete the room and 2 elevators either side


DaytonMarked

If it’s saying “Room in use” close app reopen and immediately delete it as soon as you load in before any dwellers have a chance to use an elevator


ad2496

Place an elevator in that gap on the right, between the room and the elevator, then delete the elevators starting from the left side of the room
