Bethesda Solved Its Fallout Shelter Baby-Making Problem In Latest Update
Die-hard Fallout Shelter fans (myself included) have noticed that sometimes pregnancies go on just a little too long. The scientists at Vault-Tec have figured out just what’s going (and so has Bethesda, which patched the game today).
In addition to maternal evictions that are more timely, the new update adds a photo mode. No doubt this will come in handy when your Dwellers say weird things (which is pretty much all the time).
The patch also fixes some crashes and hangs, so you can find out if your Dwellers survive the killer radroaches resulting from a failed rush attempt. Fallout Shelter is free on iOS now. An Android version is coming soon.
Here are the full patch notes:
- Overseers are encouraged to record any bizarre dweller behavior with the new Photo Feature. Sharing with those outside your Vault is optional, and will not result in your replacement or termination.
- Vault air filters have been causing some mothers to not deliver babies and we understand this is causing long term discomfort. We have solved this (not the discomfort, the baby coming out part).
- We’ve also done general maintenance to improve sudden Vault shut down and removed some other pesky issues with the capacitors inside various aspects of the simulation.

Our Take
I’m still hooked on Fallout Shelter and have entered the “must have symmetry” phase of my play. I’m just at about 100 Dwellers, thanks in part to great radio station (but mostly because of running a baby factory out of the basement).
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
