How much power do you need in Fallout Shelter?
The amount of power you need in Fallout Shelter really depends on the size of your Vault and how many rooms you've built. Each room consumes a certain amount of power to stay operational. If you're just starting, the power consumption will be low, but as you expand your Vault, you'll need to continuously increase your power production. Always keep an eye on your power gauge at the top of the screen; if it's in the green, you're good. If it dips into the red, it's time to build more power generators or upgrade existing ones!

Just enough to keep the lights on! But seriously, you'll need a steady increase in power as your Vault grows. More Dwellers and rooms mean more power needed. Don't let your power bar go red, or your Dwellers will start getting unhappy real fast.
Don't sweat it too much. As long as your power bar isn't in the red, you're fine. People obsess over having everything maxed out, but managing resources is what the game's all about.
Listen, it's all about balance. Overproducing power is as bad as having too little because resources are scarce in the wasteland. Keep expanding your power stations as you add more rooms, but don't go crazy building them everywhere. Efficiency is key in Fallout Shelter.
