[FO1] Supplying water to Vault 13 with different versions

Supplying water to Vault 13 with different versions

Hi. I know that in the original version (1.0) of Fallout, if you supplied Vault 13 with 100 days extra water from the Water Merchants at the Hub, it would give you 100 days less to the 500 day limit to stop the mutant threat and end the game. With version 1.1 and 1.2, that 500 day limit was lifted to 13 years. I'm just wondering, since I've now gotten hold of version 1.1, what will happen if I now supply Vault 13 with the 100 days extra water. Does it just take 100 days off the 13 years, so there's really no negative side to it anymore, or is the effect more significant then that?

Thanks in advance.

I've never done it, but I've heard that it does institute a time limit. So I guess you just get the old time limit (either the 500 or 400 day one).

The 500-day time limit and the 13-year time limit are unrelated, so in v1.1 buying the water does nothing. Technically speaking it still takes 90 days off the time limit for the mutant invasion of Vault 13, only that limit is now irrelevant since the script that checks for invasions has been changed so that the IF clause for Vault 13 is always false.
