I still don't get it...

After all those articles I read, all those things I researched to find out what The Vault is, I still don't get it.

Complete construction equipment, hydro-agricultural farms, water purification from underground river, defensive weaponry to equip 10 men, communication, social and entertainment files (for total duration of 10 years at 1000 capacity).

And Vault 13 is suppose to be closed for 200 years, and also Vault 15 is going to be closed for 50 years.

how are they going to survive after those expire? duration time 10 years....

And WHY would they ever want to experiment people at that kind of time? nuclear war? Why would they even feel like experimenting people at that kind of time.
I actually kind of understood that part, since it said "how successfully they re-colonize after the Vault opens." I guess that's why they experimented people?

Sorry I never played Fallout series, until I heard about Fallout 3, I became interested in Vaults.

The Enclave rigged the vault as an experiment in isolation. The underground river and hydro-agricultural farms must have been enough to sustain them for about ninety years when the chip finally gives and it needs replacing.

I suspect there was heavy rationing going on by then but it's never really mentioned in the game. Try getting ahold of the first game if you can. You'll get a better sense of the vault and the rest of the Fallout world, or you can wait for Fallout 3 when the Fallout world is bunched up, thrown in the garbage, and a new one is started.

To me, the experiments sound more like bad jokes than valid science. I don't see the point in them anyway, but it's what happened so...

I suggest clicking on one of the GOG banners around DAC. You can download copies of the game along with all sorts of free stuff, and you help out DAC in the process
