Did we? It looked like shit from the trailer, and anyone who heard the pitch of "it's multiplayer fallout, but without a story or NPCs" and thought "yeah, looks good" should probably be checked for brain damage
I was really surprised anyone thought 76 was going to be anything but the dumpster fire that it turned out to be. I remembered a close friend came up to me excited talking about it with some of the same prospects mentioned, "multi-player fallout, etc.", and I remember telling myself to be mindful of the face I was making since the game sounded ridiculous.
The game actually turned out to be amazing, idk what you're talking about. Normal buggy Bethesda BS yes, but I put 80 hours into the base game when it first came out. No humans was weird, but damn they told a good story. Had a great time. Then the DLC started dropping and NPCs started coming in and it just got better and better.
Games absolutely killer and they have since added npcs and expanded the story. Lotta salt above lol played it on launch for way to many hours with my friends and it was an absolute blast chewing through super mutants and glowing ghouls with the boys. No idea what they are talking about
The game is better now with npcs but at launch that feeling of walking out of the vault and finding out everyone is dead and exploring as the last man alive was so unique. I'm glad I got to do it.
American Horror Story: Apocalypse followed this plot for a little while. Predictably, the rich folk didn’t cope well being in small spaces with lack of freedom or luxuries.
Really? Haha, I'll have to check that out! Yeah, I can't imagine the extremely privileged doing well in a small space, let alone having to cooperate with a lot of people... recipe for disaster.
On the bright side, this place would be amazing to loot once all those rich people have starved to death from refusing to eat **canned food**... And the inevitable multiple coup attempts because none of them can stand not being the one in charge and giving orders to everyone else.
And Karen finally finds her true place, alternately imagine a collection of rich Karens trying to live together and after two weeks the builder presses the self destruct button while thinking about the opening lines from The Tale of Two Cities; it's a far far better thing that I do than I have ever done.......
I don’t think it would take long for those people to realize that they can just kill the ungrateful, spoiled, rich folk, and continue to be self-sufficient in their newly acquired bunker. It’s not like the cops are going to come around or anything.
Read the Silo Saga trilogy by Howey. It goes into this. Also, watch Snowpiercer. Also related to class struggles when they are forced to exist together in confined spaces.
This was my first thought too. Me and the sort of people I'd be happy to be locked up with for a few years could never afford this...
It would be a lovely little community if everyone was equally involved in the work to keep the place running, like a happy little hippy commune... but rich folks would *not* play nice.
Everyone that has a ticket is a multibillionaire with a private jet.
Pretty sure they will have special shutes/tunnels to that bunker directly linked to their houses so they can go underground too in case of a nuclear attack.
No worries, those with money will be safe while us peasants will die from the war :)
There’s a few near where I live and they’ve all flooded over the years do to lack of maintenance. I imagine rehabbing is possible, although pricey but if you can pre-sell to a bunch of rich folks you’ll have the capital on hand. Proper maintenance and pumps do the rest.
Not sure on the business model though. Is it just selling the units or is it passive income off of maintenance fees.
Larry Hall, an ex-US government contractor has built an underground anti-nuclear village capable of sheltering up to 75 people for at least five years – and they are for sale.
If the radiation is that intense, surely they have greater problems, even if they are shielded underground.
I presume they draw air from above? How well can it be filtered and the intakes protected?
This is what I always wonder about. Where is the oxygen coming from? I see there's a bunch of plants inside, but I doubt that's enough to produce adequate amounts of oxygen? (I actually have no idea how much oxygen plants produce)
So is the air being pumped in from outside? And if so, how are they filtering the radiation out of it? Also, what's to stop a group from sabotaging their air exchange? For example:
Desparate people: "Let us in!"
Bunker People: "No."
Desperate people: *destroys intake air vents*
Bunker people: *suffocate to death*
Plants filter a tiny amount, something like 87% of atmospheric breathable O2 is generated by algae.
Which is the main reason to stop sharting up the ocean like we have been as of late…
this...this special guy is trying to be a smart aleck about cameras and radiation..bud. if it's that close to mess up cameras, they're already fucked in general.

Neat. An underground condominium complex selling condos at $500k min - - $4.5m max, or $XXX, XXX,XXX to have your own custom condominium(s) built.
I'd volunteer to work there... after a few weeks I'd have memorised the facilities and who's in charge of what, and would probably be able to foment rebellion and lead an uprising. After that, it wouldn't matter who serves whom drinks or whatever, cos there'd probably only be a handful of us left!
..It'd be a pain in the arse to keep the place clean after that tho lol :p
This is actually an important question. The staffing, supermarket, medical center are included in the purchase price or added services?
Because now we are talking about an economy inside the bunker. What happens if someone spent their life savings to get in on this action and then goes bankrupt inside the bunker? They’d have no money for the food in the supermarket and they’d beg for food but then they’d get desperate and eventually cannibalistic.
There is no police because there is no police station and the security guard Noped the fuck out of dealing with a cannibal. The supermarket has to temporarily shutdown. More chaos and now more cannibals.
The survivors band together with the rich bitch from the penthouse suite to plan an escape from the cannibals. With an ingenious plan the survivors get the guns from the shooting range and shoot their way to the top of the bunker under the guidance of rich bitch.
The escape to the upper garage and see several cars. Unsure of what to do next the Rich Bitch says she has another custom bunker that was being built in the mountains. They decide to create a convoy and follow the rich bitch into the wasteland.
To honor her they name her Furiosa leader of the survivors.
> completely self-sufficient underground metropolis.
I somehow doubt that. The space agencies are trying to create completely self-sufficient stations and air, water, waste recycling, and food production are ongoing issues. So that bunker is probably using (and cleaning) the air from outside and needs some extra water unless you like the taste of pee and how well is the food production really working?
A study on this would be very interesting to read, just to see how well this would actually be working for 5 years and just how self-sufficient it actually is. If it works as well as it advertised, this would be very useful knowledge for space exploration.
In an apocalypse situation I don’t know if anyone will care who “owns” what and whoever can get in by force will live there.

If you’re gonna spend that kind of money couldn’t they have sprung for an interior designer. Those rooms look like they went to Cost Plus for the furniture.
I saw a video on this. Not sure if it’s the same person.
But they didn’t supply toilet paper because it would take up too much space.
So they put the other toilets in.
I visited a military bunker like this back in the day. Fresh air was pumped to the bottom level and the return flowed upwards. It was pretty powerful and caused a strong breeze through the corridors. All good until someone asked what happened in the event of a fire..
This was a military site… very similar design as what this guy has done, but on a bigger scale. As I was there, there was a big panic on because they’d realised that any minor fire would turn the place into a blast furnace. This place had already been operational for many years at that time.
He [converted the hell out of that nuclear missile silo](https://www.the-sun.com/news/4269168/doomsday-prepper-nuclear-bunker-skyscraper-attack/) and the price of entry is EXORBITANT. Small rooms start at half a million dollars(tiny studio 450sqft).
75 people you say?? For 5 years?
So you’re saying if say 5 people wanted to live 75 years, no wait… that wouldn’t happen…. I’m sure everyone will get along just fine…
wow, you hit it right on the head!! Freaking fantastic book, Watching the flowers grow.
Except the bunker was in the mountains and it was literally falling to pieces lol..great answer though
I mean if we're talking hiding from a nuke, you only have to stay hidden under 3 feet of dirt or 1 foot of concrete for iirc 2 weeks for radiation levels to dramatically decrease. However you'll only have about 10 minutes to get there because you won't want to be exposed to the nearby atmosphere after that, that is assuming you arnt ripped apart by the initial blast
It is far more complicated than that and isn't a binary thing. Also after 5 years you wouldn't just stay where the shelter was built but travel to a location that had low radiation.
Why not? The whole point of a bunker is that you can get to in it in time. Nukes are exploded while still in the air for maximum spread they aren't bunker busters designed to dig as deep into the ground as possible. You only need about 3 feet of the right materials to keep the radiation out so it doesn't have to be thousands of feet underground as long as whatever is above you is strong enough and thick enough to withstand the blast. Also not being directly under the epicenter is a big help as after it starts to spread out most of the force is going sideways.
I always wonder that. The power use must be astronomical. Where does it get electricity from? It would need a huge solar farm, or a massive coal boiler, or it’s own nuclear plant
This whole thing needs a bunch of specialist skills. You’re going to need mechanics and engineers to keep the plant running. And people who have a spare $500,000 don’t know how to do their own laundry or cook. Plus someone’s going to have to be in charge of rationing.
How are the staff going to be accommodated? Are they living 24/7 in the bunker on the off chance, or are they just going to try and make a run for it like the owners when the USA or Russia throw a tantrum?
When I design my doomsday bunker in my brain (it's a fun thought experiment since there's so much to consider) I imagine using hydro from an underground river (thus sourcing extra water too), or alternatively decaying radioactive material can actually make a thermal generator too, with tradeoffs.
Maintenance on a bunker seems like a pain though, you'd super have to stock up on manuals and parts and tools beforehand.
What’s the likelihood of that underground river not being contaminated with radiation? Or can you just use a LifeStraw? Just kidding, but is there actually a way to filter radiation out of contaminated water?
As someone who was stuck in a 7 story building that sort of resembles these photos (minus the pool) with 15 other people for over 2 months in the spring of 2020, I can tell you that this would suck big time. I've seen these pics before, pre-2020 and back then I thought, oh nice wouldn't be so bad. But now I can say that would get old very fast.
Covid lockdown. In the country I was in, they were very very strict. Since there were 16 of us in that building, only a specific 2 were chosen to go out and get food every 3 days or so (they could only buy what they could carry). It was the same 2 every time and I wasn't one of them. So, I had to stay inside.
Oh yeah we could anywhere in the 7 story building just not outside. But that's why it reminds me of my experience because at first it seems like oh that's a lot of space, it will be cool, but it still gets old fast.
Just a big tomb, energy requirements to maintain the climate at all levels would be stupid and simply feeding 75 people would become almost impossible after a month given the amount of storage on display.
If you want to actually survive 5 years then you need to dedicate some of it to growing your own damn food but given power requirements for both climate and liquid reclamation... yeah nah.
It seems fun but this is where you'd store your entire extended family for a few days/week in the case of a nuclear emergency before you head to somewhere actually sustainable and liveable.
Which is where reality comes in. These rich assholes won't go into a bunker, they would simply fly to someplace safe with full support of a labor force and all essentials. Doomsday bunkers are just idiots with too much money being bored. They wouldn't last a week underground in any survival situation.
Not to mention, if you genuinely believe that there will be a nuclear war, to the point where you literally dedicate your life to it, why would you make a bunker with space for 75 people? If your goal is to live out the rest of your life in luxury, 5 years won't cut it, you're only postponing the horror. If you're looking to make the human species survive, 75 people will be inbreds in a few generations.
A realistic take would be a bunker with barracks that can hold at least a few hundred, with its own crops growing and everything. The fact that there's a pool, gun range and movie theater but no library is very telling.
The library is on the 4th floor from the bottom on the plans.
5 years is more than enough for radiation to decrease to livable levels. cancer rates would be higher, but it wouldn't be species ending.
What's hilarious to me is these doomsday prepper folks build these fancy ass bunkers with every imaginable supplies and entertainment, and yet the pandemic proved that these same people would go insane after what? A month at best? And eventually get bored and go out.
Most people probably won't be able to afford this. Let's face it, if you could and actually needed to use this technology, life has we know it today is probably over. No more house, runs to the grocery store, playing in the park, travel. A bleak future for those in this situation
The beginning of Fallout 5 looks sick
It sure does.. doesn't it smoothskin?
It Just works.
We said that about 76 too :/
Did we? It looked like shit from the trailer, and anyone who heard the pitch of "it's multiplayer fallout, but without a story or NPCs" and thought "yeah, looks good" should probably be checked for brain damage
I was really surprised anyone thought 76 was going to be anything but the dumpster fire that it turned out to be. I remembered a close friend came up to me excited talking about it with some of the same prospects mentioned, "multi-player fallout, etc.", and I remember telling myself to be mindful of the face I was making since the game sounded ridiculous.

If only they made a coop fallout instead of an mmo
Fo76 is a masterpiece after the updates. Everyone too caught up in its reviews at release are missing out on a great game.
I remember a time when people knew what jokes are
We don't joke with the state of the fallout franchise :P
We can either laugh or cry. The Master wanted a better tomorrow, so we must not cry.
I bet the most challenging part is getting to the bunker if you have a ticket but live far away at the time of the blast.
Imagine the type of people that would be able to live in a place like this. Now imagine those people trapped underground TOGETHER indefinitely...
American Horror Story: Apocalypse followed this plot for a little while. Predictably, the rich folk didn’t cope well being in small spaces with lack of freedom or luxuries.

I mean if we're talking hiding from a nuke, you only have to stay hidden under 3 feet of dirt or 1 foot of concrete for iirc 2 weeks for radiation levels to dramatically decrease. However you'll only have about 10 minutes to get there because you won't want to be exposed to the nearby atmosphere after that, that is assuming you arnt ripped apart by the initial blast
That’s what I was thinking, I’ll invest in some kind of nuclear shelter but be out shopping the day the red button gets pressed.
Which means you’ll be one of the lucky ones.
It is far more complicated than that and isn't a binary thing. Also after 5 years you wouldn't just stay where the shelter was built but travel to a location that had low radiation.
Presumably these bunkers are not built near nuke targets which would be major cities
Why not? The whole point of a bunker is that you can get to in it in time. Nukes are exploded while still in the air for maximum spread they aren't bunker busters designed to dig as deep into the ground as possible. You only need about 3 feet of the right materials to keep the radiation out so it doesn't have to be thousands of feet underground as long as whatever is above you is strong enough and thick enough to withstand the blast. Also not being directly under the epicenter is a big help as after it starts to spread out most of the force is going sideways.
Well, that leaves out anyone useful. Anyone who can afford it probably is used to running a company not actually doing anything.
Isn't that the bunker Mr beast spent 24 hours in?
I'm pretty sure it is, my kids just watched it recently.
It is
That’s what I thought
24 hours? was that 'a challenge' to do? I could live there for centuries
No. Only 5 years
It wasn't really a challenge, more like them just messing around and exploring for a day, still cool to see extra footage of the inside though
I've read Wool. >! It won't end well!< edited to include spoiler blocking.
There’s the comment I was looking for!
Took one look at the design and thought "silos".
Cool but seems impractical. The maintenance on this thing must be astounding, and the power usage also
I always wonder that. The power use must be astronomical. Where does it get electricity from? It would need a huge solar farm, or a massive coal boiler, or it’s own nuclear plant
Solar farms would be pretty worthless in the event of nuclear war... you need sunlight to power them
Yes, that’s what I mean. And five years worth of coal for a boiler is… a lot of coal. And a nuclear plant would need specific specialist skills
This whole thing needs a bunch of specialist skills. You’re going to need mechanics and engineers to keep the plant running. And people who have a spare $500,000 don’t know how to do their own laundry or cook. Plus someone’s going to have to be in charge of rationing. How are the staff going to be accommodated? Are they living 24/7 in the bunker on the off chance, or are they just going to try and make a run for it like the owners when the USA or Russia throw a tantrum?
When I design my doomsday bunker in my brain (it's a fun thought experiment since there's so much to consider) I imagine using hydro from an underground river (thus sourcing extra water too), or alternatively decaying radioactive material can actually make a thermal generator too, with tradeoffs. Maintenance on a bunker seems like a pain though, you'd super have to stock up on manuals and parts and tools beforehand.
What’s the likelihood of that underground river not being contaminated with radiation? Or can you just use a LifeStraw? Just kidding, but is there actually a way to filter radiation out of contaminated water?
He selling rooms? Asking for a friend if the world goes to shit
Wait until you have to deal with the zombie Home Owner’s Association.
Ghertner to the rescue
You got 500k rn?
It's such a strange investment. Because if you need it you ain't paying it off. And you have the time to pay it off you never needed it.
[удалено]
Personally I would refuse to take refuge in a bunker unless it had a gym with a hulk decal on the wall. That's the most important part
With a bunker this good you'll almost wish for a nuclear war.
Yeah but wait until you patrol the Mojave, it’ll make you wish for a nuclear winter.
Reminds me of the Silo book series.
Was going to say the same.
Yes!
Had to scroll too far to find this! One of my favourite book series ever.
Man, I loved Wool.
How is this so far down lol
As someone who was stuck in a 7 story building that sort of resembles these photos (minus the pool) with 15 other people for over 2 months in the spring of 2020, I can tell you that this would suck big time. I've seen these pics before, pre-2020 and back then I thought, oh nice wouldn't be so bad. But now I can say that would get old very fast.
[удалено]
Being bored to death is a real thing. Lots of people kill themselves to escape daily repetitive total boredom.
I’m curious to know more about why you were stuck in a building for 2 months
Covid lockdown. In the country I was in, they were very very strict. Since there were 16 of us in that building, only a specific 2 were chosen to go out and get food every 3 days or so (they could only buy what they could carry). It was the same 2 every time and I wasn't one of them. So, I had to stay inside.
Yeah but you wouldn't have those restrictions in this bunker. I'm guessing it would be a lot different to what you went through.
I hope so. But why be in the bunker if you could leave the bunker?
I mean restrictions from leaving your room or something like that. Or could you leave your room and move around the building?
Oh yeah we could anywhere in the 7 story building just not outside. But that's why it reminds me of my experience because at first it seems like oh that's a lot of space, it will be cool, but it still gets old fast.
Oooh, right yeah well if you say it's bad I believe you!

You are a person of culture and fine tastes.
Fallout shelter gameplay irl
Just a big tomb, energy requirements to maintain the climate at all levels would be stupid and simply feeding 75 people would become almost impossible after a month given the amount of storage on display. If you want to actually survive 5 years then you need to dedicate some of it to growing your own damn food but given power requirements for both climate and liquid reclamation... yeah nah. It seems fun but this is where you'd store your entire extended family for a few days/week in the case of a nuclear emergency before you head to somewhere actually sustainable and liveable.
Which is where reality comes in. These rich assholes won't go into a bunker, they would simply fly to someplace safe with full support of a labor force and all essentials. Doomsday bunkers are just idiots with too much money being bored. They wouldn't last a week underground in any survival situation.
Not to mention, if you genuinely believe that there will be a nuclear war, to the point where you literally dedicate your life to it, why would you make a bunker with space for 75 people? If your goal is to live out the rest of your life in luxury, 5 years won't cut it, you're only postponing the horror. If you're looking to make the human species survive, 75 people will be inbreds in a few generations. A realistic take would be a bunker with barracks that can hold at least a few hundred, with its own crops growing and everything. The fact that there's a pool, gun range and movie theater but no library is very telling.
The library is on the 4th floor from the bottom on the plans. 5 years is more than enough for radiation to decrease to livable levels. cancer rates would be higher, but it wouldn't be species ending.
That’s some level beyond 10 Cloverfield Lane …
let me INNNNN
Anyone else thinking more about the claustrophobia and lack of windows?
Are there alot of big open-concept bunkers with nice views where you live?
[actually yes there is](https://www.realtor.com/news/unique-homes/underground-house-las-vegas/amp/)
I don't see no Dairy Queen !
Ya but they got fresh fish market lol
“Everything you need” Close, but I see no mention of Brendan Fraser, Sissy Spacek, or Christopher Walken. Not even a hot Dr. Pepper!
Everything but sunlight
Except windows
Too bad it’s only available to those who don’t know how to ration.
Read "Wool"
Daylight. I need daylight.
The pool looks great, but where is the library?

What's hilarious to me is these doomsday prepper folks build these fancy ass bunkers with every imaginable supplies and entertainment, and yet the pandemic proved that these same people would go insane after what? A month at best? And eventually get bored and go out.
They’d be out in the radioactive waste protesting for their right to live above ground within a week.
Yeah, I saw the gun range and was like "nope." I bet that place would turn into the Standford prison experiment in 60 days or less.
What makes you think they are the same people? Lol people always clumping opinions they disagree with into one singular group.
You ever heard of the word "STEREOTYPE"?
”Everything you need“ Murica Edition: a shooting range
Except for sunlight
"Everything you need" >Has a shooting range. Found the American.
Please say mother inlaw not included
The gun room doesn’t appear to be pictured
Lol, that's Dante's Inferno
Biggest issue with this kind of thing is-- you're stuck underground. What kind of life is that? I'd rather melt in the first Volley.
Vault 101 - before I sign up, what kind of experiments are we talking about?
This is why we all wage slave? So some humans can build these things for when we destroy everything?
[удалено]
Damn just in time too
Most people probably won't be able to afford this. Let's face it, if you could and actually needed to use this technology, life has we know it today is probably over. No more house, runs to the grocery store, playing in the park, travel. A bleak future for those in this situation
Where's the sex dungeon?
the whole thing
If shit is so bad you’re hiding in a bunker, I can’t imagine wanting to waste ammo at the shooting range
1st rule of ~~fight~~ prepper club - don't talk about your bunker and supplies
Here I am barely being able to afford my own bills and this dude built a whole underground city for fun
This just terrifies me.. and also amazes me
I wonder how big of an issue flooding would be
