Have you had a hard time building your shelter in Fallout Shelter? In this guide we explain how you can move and organize the rooms in Fallout Shelter.

Fallout Shelter is a very different game within the Fallout saga , because it is a strategy game, as well as a builder-type game, but instead of cities, nuclear shelters.

For that reason, its options aren’t as creative as other famous city-building or theme park games you may have played, like The Simpsons Springfield or Jurassic Park, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have its charms.

As we’ve seen , the arrangement and order in which we place our rooms in Fallout Shelter has direct consequences on the game, our production, and the safety of the inhabitants . It’s not just aesthetic.

How to move rooms in Fallout Shelter

One of the most common questions when playing Fallout Shelter is whether you can move rooms and all rooms. You’ve probably tried to select it by holding your finger on the room to no avail.

The reality is that you cannot move rooms in this game. There is no way to do so, and it doesn’t look like it will be possible in the future.

However, it is possible to do so by demolishing rooms and rebuilding them . To do this, select the room and you will see the option next to the one to upgrade it.

But of course, that is expensive, because when you destroy them you will receive very few caps , approximately 20% of what you paid to build it.

You should also keep in mind that you cannot just destroy rooms: you cannot destroy rooms that will leave other rooms isolated. 

You also cannot destroy rooms that currently have inhabitants; you will have to move them to other rooms.
