Survival Guide - Dust Settles: Shelter Level 3

Table of Contents:

Purpose:

Shelter level 3s are you biggest, most advanced homes. For the first time since the apocalypse, your people will have a solid roof over their head and at least rudimentary indoor plumbing. This means that shelter 3s have a daily disposable cost, so you may want to hold construction on these shelters until you can make your own disposables.

Opening Requirements:

Shelter 3s are a starter building and do not need to be opened through research.

Improvements:

You can increase the capacity of your shelters by researching Housing.

Limitations:

Because shelter 3s actually have a daily cost, you will want to make sure that you can afford the disposables cost when you get ready to construct this building. If you cannot afford this daily cost, you might want to stick to shelter 2s until you can. Beyond this as long as you have the land and initial supplies cost you can build as many shelters as you want. Just be sure to remember that each shelter, even if it is empty, will require a building supply each day for heating costs.

Displays:

As with the other shelters, main displays will be found on the top bar. Here you have two counters, one which shows how much shelter space you have total vs. how much is available and the other which shows what percent of your total shelter space is full. Since shelters have no staffing cost, there is no reason to unstaff them, thus the Construct screen's table showing your buildings will only show you how much each of your buildings will hold.

The Peoples page will also be important for shelter 3s. Here you will be able to keep track of the total number of disposables being used by the camp as compared to the total number being produced. This can give you an idea of how many shelter 3s you can afford to build before building more recycling plants or finding some other means of gaining more disposables.

Special Considerations When Demolishing:

You cannot demolish shelters that have people in them, even if it is only a single person. If you need to free up some space, consider demolishing only excess shelters or even some completely different building.
