What happens in Fallout Shelter when the vault is full?
Once your Fallout Shelter vault is full, you can't add more Dwellers from the wasteland or those born inside the vault until you increase your vault's capacity. This means either upgrading your living quarters or building new ones. It's a good time to optimize your Dwellers' jobs and make sure everyone's happy and productive. Also, no new Dwellers will show up at your vault door, so if you were hoping for a new face, you'll need to make some room first!

If your vault's at max capacity in Fallout Shelter, guess what? Party's over, no more room for newbies. Your only move is to expand or watch as those little vault dwellers turn away at the door. Make sure you're managing space well!
Pro tip: When your vault's full, start exploring the wasteland more. Got no room for new Dwellers? Use the time to gather resources and make your existing vault stronger. It's all about strategy.
