Talk:Vault
From The Vault
If Harold is originating from V 29, he shouldn't get there because of random wandering. He should be accquainted with specific culutre there and should know about godess Diana. So rather Vault 31 is Twin Mothers home. Or beliefs concerning Harolds origin are wrong. dotz
- He is from Vault 29 and Twin Mothers is Vault 29. I got a more detailed explanation from John Deiley and will post it here soon. Ausir 20:33, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Why are Vaults made up by some webcomic in here? Does this mean I can just make up a Vault and put it in here? These are not canon, and if they must be in the article at all, should be in a seperate section, though ideally should be removed altogether.
- It's not just some random webcomic. It's not the regular Penny Arcade comic, but the official Fallout 3 comic made by the authors of Penny Arcade in cooperation with the FO3 lead designer, featured on the official Fallout 3 site and referenced within Fallout 3 (see: Vault 77 Jumpsuit).

[edit] Vault doors
The vault doors are 4 yards thick? Really? 12 feet, or 3.6 meters? That's a heck of a thick door, sure it's not 4 feet? In all three games, the vault doors don't seem THAT thick. --DarkJeff 19:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
I agree Vault 815 01:30, September 29, 2009 (UTC)
- Does anyone know where the 4 yards came from? 4 feet seems to be about right. - Redmess 01:45, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Is it just me?
Or are some of these "experiments" a bit stupid. for example, who cares about how 1 man reacts to 1000 women, maybe 1 women to 1000 men, (the enclave is basically all male), and a man with 4 puppets, what? 20 men, 10 women , and a panther? Half of these don't make sense, and only work in one way. the 30 people and panther, maybe as a "how would a small people live and react in a small settlement and eventually discovering that there was a a killer animal after them, but unless the vault armory was empty, that would've been stupid! and what about the 70 clones? what, a short term repopulation test?
- Well there WERE a lot of vaults so they had some spares to do some "other" tests. Seriously though, the 1 man 1000 women is a pretty interesting test. The panther one not so much, but remember what some of the others were too. Exposing the occupants to such things as subliminal homicidal messages, or insanity gas. Or the vault designed to fail starting with it's overseer ("Gary!"). Or the one designed to keep the people in "relaxation chambers"? The point of the experiments is to have a random situation that can only occur in a vault-like environment and see what comes of it.
- well, the puppets is a psychological test on how the brain copes with lonelyness, and as it turns out, it copes with schizophrenia! the 1 man and 999 women, well repopulation and probably a joke (being vault 69) the panther though... im at a loss
[edit] Vault 101
Vault 101 was never intended to stay shut. I remember reading that it was the overseer's doing.
- No, i'm pretty sure if you check the Vault-Tec computer that explains each of the vaults, 101's purpose was to test "Indefinite Isolation". It WAS the overseer's job to make sure that things stayed that way.
- No, Vault 101 was an experiment focusing on the Overseer himself, how he'd perform. That Furry Bastard 09:00, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Pitt Vaults
I wonder if there would be any vaults in The Pitt. I dunno if its plausible though, what do you steelworkers think?Jetholt (Jetty) 20:56, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
I had hoped so. I saw a 'Vault Secure' billboard just before the bridge into The Pitt and I thought that the area had a vault somewhere. - Dweller93 08:54, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Possibly, I mean all those factories are really run down. No way could the ancestors of the slavers/slaves of survived the great war in them. This also begs the question, were there vaults for the soldiers in Anchorage, Alaska? It's still US soil and the US Army defending a state would obviously be a top priority to the Enclave.Bravo315
No No the Brotherhood of Steel descends from the US Army and they had no vaults... - Bio Enhancment 411 13:41, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
Plus a vault would be far to dangerous and costly to buils a frikin WAR ZONE!, with the chinese bombing all the military instillations they could there would be no chance to do anything for the soldiers.Bio Enhancment 411 20:03, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] V13 the last vault
What is the source for saying that V13 was the last vault constructed? I've checked both manuals and cant spot it there... Agent c 23:04, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
- Timeline from the Fallout Bible. That Furry Bastard 23:19, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Found it - The speicifc Primary source is Bible 0. Agent c 23:32, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
Wouldn't it be vault 122? as it is the last in the number line?
[edit] What experiment!?!?!?!??
I know the vaults were an experiment, but I only learned that from visiting this site! I'd played Fallout and Fallout 2 at the time, but I NEVER heard of any of this!!! How did I miss it? What was the in-game source of the experiment?!
In Fallout 3(Play it its awesome) YOu can visit Vaults 87, 92, 106, 108 which respectively do experiments on FEV, A white noise which has combat sequence drives ppl mad, Halucination gas, Cloning(GARYS).. And there are files about it how the experiments are done and everything.. Vaults were never meant to save lives.. (PS: I may be mistaking 106 and 108) --85.99.88.6 13:53, 27 August 2009 (UTC)NightPhoenix
- Or maybe they were and just some were used for testing purposes? 98.198.83.12 01:56, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Last Vault
So what was the last vault ever created? 112? --74.5.177.164 23:43, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
Nevermind, just saw the article said Vault 13 was the last. But why would they finish with 13 before 112, 101, and others? Seems kinda odd. --74.5.177.164 23:53, 3 August 2009 (UTC) 205.213.113.52 17:18, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
Vault 13 was beset by technical issues if I recall the Fallout Bible correctly.--Ishotamaninnewreno 09:53, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
Uhhhhhh maybe... just maybe the number of the vault, (101, 87, 13 etc) is the order in which they were PLANNED and then some took longer to build that others.... technical complications or more complicated systems, power manegemant etc...Bio Enhancment 411 19:56, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
[edit] Relax
Hey, relax. You guys worry too much. I've even reserved my family's place in vault 87, if it wasn't for Vault-Tec, I don't know what I'd do!
- might i suggest Buddhism?
- How the hell can you afford a space in a Vault-tec vault? When the sirens ring, my family will hide in the metro and hope for the best.
