How Much Can Dwellers Carry?
In the Fallout Shelter, dwellers are the heart of the underground vault, working together to ensure the survival of their fellow survivors. But one of the most frequently asked questions by players is, "How much can dwellers carry?" This article will delve into the limits of what dwellers can carry and provide tips on how to optimize their storage capacity.
Limit of 110 Items
The answer to this question is straightforward: each dweller can carry a maximum of 110 items. This includes all types of items, such as resources, stimpacks, radaways, and food. Any item above this limit will not be taken by the dweller.
Dweller Stats and Capacity
Another crucial factor to consider is a dweller’s stats, particularly their Strength. The higher the strength, the more items the dweller can carry. However, even with maxed-out strength, there is still a hard cap of 110 items. Below is a table outlining the effect of strength on capacity:
| Strength | Items Carried |
|---|---|
| Low | 30-50 |
| Medium | 50-70 |
| High | 70-90 |
| Very High | 90-110 |
Tips for Maximizing Capacity
While dwellers can only carry 110 items, there are ways to optimize their storage capacity. Here are a few tips:
• Assign the right items to the right dwellers: Prioritize items based on their rarity and usefulness, and assign them to dwellers with the highest strength or other relevant stats.
• Use the living quarters efficiently: Ensure that the living quarters are optimized by placing dwellers with low strength in rooms with few items to carry, while those with high strength are assigned to rooms with many items.
• Merge items: Combine similar items, such as multiple stimpacks or radaways, to reduce the total number of items being carried.
• Send explorers: Send out explorers to collect rare resources and items, rather than carrying them back to the vault. This can reduce the number of items on hand and free up storage space.
What Happens if a Dweller’s Inventory is Full?
If a dweller’s inventory is full and more items are added, the following will occur:
• New items will be placed outside the living quarters: Items will be deposited outside the living quarters, where they can be easily accessed by other dwellers.
• The vault will still receive benefits: Even if a dweller’s inventory is full, the vault will still receive benefits from the items they are carrying, such as happiness bonuses.
In conclusion, dwellers can carry a maximum of 110 items, with strength affecting their capacity. By following the tips outlined above, players can optimize their storage capacity and ensure their vault is running smoothly.
