How to Survive Survival Mode in Fallout Shelter
Survival mode in Fallout Shelter is no joke! First up, always keep your dwellers happy and healthy because a happy vault is a productive one. Start slow, don't expand your vault too fast, or you'll struggle with resources and external threats. Prioritize building resource rooms and keep those resources balanced. Equip your dwellers with the best gear for their jobs and don't forget to send out equipped teams to explore the wasteland for extra resources and caps. Remember, in survival mode, every decision counts!

Honestly, just have fun with it. Survival mode is tough but treat each failure as a learning experience. Build smart, not fast, and use those Lunchboxes wisely. Every item and cap counts more than ever in survival mode.
Gonna say it - survival mode is overrated. Just enjoy the game without the stress, folks.
Key to survival mode: Don't get attached to your dwellers. Sounds harsh, but with permadeath, you gotta be ready to replace anyone. Also, invest in training rooms early to beef up your dwellers' SPECIAL stats. A dweller with high stats is worth their weight in caps!
