How to tell relation in Fallout Shelter
In Fallout Shelter, you gotta keep an eye on the last names of your Dwellers and watch how they interact. If they won't 'get busy' in the living quarters, they're probably related. Bethesda made it so family members won't start relationships, which helps avoid...awkward situations. So, if you're trying to increase your Vault's population, make sure those Dwellers don't share a last name!

Actually, it's not just about last names. I once had Dwellers with different last names who wouldn't pair up. Turned out, one was the other's parent from when I renamed them for fun. Oops. So, yeah, names are a clue, but Bethesda's coding on relations goes beyond that.
Just look at their last names. If they're the same, they're related. No complex family trees needed.
Simple: Dwellers with the same last name won鈥檛 flirt. Fallout Shelter keeps it family-friendly by avoiding any Game of Thrones style drama. So, matchmake your Dwellers carefully!
