Vault 188 was a private Vault using Vault-Tec as a baseline design. It was funded and constructed by Pre-War "green moguls" who lived in and around Michigan state. It was stocked full of seeds, fertilizers, and soil enrichment devices, but also filled with Pre-War animals, such as cows, sheep, and goat.
