Designing Your Shelter
When creating a new Vault, consider:
- What is the official purpose of the Vault (e.g., 'Genetics Program,' 'Vault Born Study')?
- What is the secret, twisted experiment being conducted?
- Does the location name give a clue ('Appalachia,' 'Sublevel')?
- Is it designated as a Project, Shelter, Bunker, or Complex?
- What unique story will unfold within its walls?
