Caps Foundry - A Caps Producing Room

CAPS FOUNDRY

Description

Fallout Shelter gives you rooms for food, water, power, stimpaks and RadAway — but nothing that makes caps. The Caps Foundry does.

It is a real room, not a cheat menu. You build it from the build menu once your vault is large enough, staff it with dwellers, wait for a batch, and collect. It upgrades through three levels, merges up to three segments wide, costs caps to build and upgrade, and runs on Luck.

The room is built by adopting one of the room types Fallout Shelter ships in its code but never uses, and giving it the nuclear reactor's art tinted a different colour. Everything else — the production cycle, the build menu entry, the unlock condition, the pricing — is wired into the game's own systems rather than faked.

Before you install, read the uninstall warning under Requirements. A vault containing this room cannot be loaded without the mod.

Installation instructions

1. Install BepInEx (skip if you already have it)

• []Download

  BepInEx_win_x64_5. 4.x.x.zipfrom the BepInEx releases page — you need the x64, Unity Mono build.[/]

  []Extract it into your Fallout Shelter game folder, the one containing

  FalloutShelter.exe. You should end up with

  winhttp.dll,

  doorstop_config.iniand a

  BepInExfolder next to the exe.[/]

  []Launch the game once, then close it. This makes BepInEx create its folders.[/]

2. Install the mod

• []Extract this archive into the same game folder, so the DLL lands in

  BepInEx\plugins\CapsFoundry.dll.[/]

  []Launch the game.[/]

BepInEx\LogOutput.logand look for a line beginning:

Registered 'Caps Foundry' as ProteinBarMain features

• []A new buildable room that produces caps, listed at the end of the build menu.[/]

  []Unlocks with the Nuka-Cola Bottler and costs the same to build and upgrade, so it fits the vanilla progression instead of sidestepping it.[/]

  []200 caps per cycle per segment. Four hours at level 1, three at level 2, two at level 3. A fully upgraded three-wide Foundry makes 600 caps every two hours.[/]

  []Luck drives worker efficiency — the stat that already governs caps in this game.[/]

  []Upgrades and merges like any other production room.[/]

  []Automatic save backups on every game launch, ten sets kept, in

  %LocalAppData%\FalloutShelter\ModBackups\.[/]
