Edit shelter

This game is so much fun and I enjoy playing it. If I could change one thing though it would to be able to edit my already made shelter. Like being able to just keep my progress but move things to how I would want it. If that makes sense, but apart from that this game always keeps my attention.

Crash report for experimental vault

I was playing the game for a one day, there are 33 days left for the experimental vault but for some reason the game has started to crash when I try it. Regular vaults are okay but this has never happened before. Please help!

We casual players do not have multiple hours to stay on here to keep everyone alive

Yall need to fix the way this game is designed , half of us are grown adults that have lives we can’t just sit on this game and constantly watch for our dwellers not too get attacked or take care of the food supplies/ energy ….I don’t mind spending money in the game but at least make it playable for people that actually have lives , not constantly needing to check up on our vaults every second
