Vaults and life underground? anyone know?

[WillisPDunlevey]

Is anyone aware of any actual studies or plans for sustained vaults or shelters? The longest durations I could find are for 5 years (for radius engineering shelters)

How big would a vault really have to be to support people for 200+ years?

Are all the vaults in FA the same size? there have been some examples of 1000 women and 1 man or the converse.

Is there any source for more information as to how the vaults feed the dwellers, get power, maintain safe air supply, dispose of wastes, manage supplies and spare parts (outside of "waterchips" of course).

Does anyone know how the vaults are "really laid out". We dont see much of the actual vault... just what is needed for the game, not the boring stuff that would actually be needed to keep one running for centuries.

I found some "real" vaults!

They make these to hold from 12 to 2000+ people, but only for a max of 5 years.

The designs are modular so a number of different configurations are possible.

All the designs use Diesel generators for power. I think that might be the time limiter.

What do you think?

I think it's absurd that anyone manages to make profit on this kind of market.

Great find. Those blueprints are awesome. I can use this. Thanks.

I have been working on my own "project" and will be using these as a template for a competitor to "vault-tec"

I have a decent "story" and new ideas for protagonists/villains.

absurd is to make profit selling (any kind of) weapons of mass destruction. Building shelters to them don't sound absurd to me.

And oh my, these projects are totally awesome. They are my nerd dream now.

Now, it would be funny if some guys with money willing to roleplay bought some of these massive $100 million only to roleplay

 

[WillisPDunlevey]

I hope there are no roleplay vaults created/bought. I would hate to have to break my personal ban on LARPing...

Id certanly buy one of this vaults if I were a millionaire with money to waste
