The game calculates everything when you load it up based on the current device time and the time recorded from when you exited last.

Q: Why aren't my explorers finding anything? OR: Should I change my device/computer time to speed things up in my vault?Ī: Do not mess with your device time. There's no way I'd have all the content in this FAQ without all the help from many different people. A bunch of screenshots don't have names, as I copied them from DanK_'s FAQ where they were uncredited, though I assume they were their own. I credited everyone where I could when I linked to anything. Thank you as well to anyone who I linked to that did testing and/or wrote content. Another big shoutout to ShardisWolfe, SlowbroGGOP, and GOD-WAS-A-MUFFIN, all who have been huge contributors on r/foshelter and who I borrowed a lot of stuff from to write this. I copied a lot of stuff that hadn't changed from them. Whether you've got a question you want answered, you want to show off your vault, or you want to be a part of a community around the game then come on over.Ī huge shoutout to DanK_ who wrote the original FAQ that was stickied on r/foshelter. There's also a Fallout Shelter Discord that everyone is welcome to join. I'll make any additions at the end of a section (or if a new section at the end of the FAQ), that way the numbering system and any references to them won't get messed up. If you feel a question should be added or you've done some testing and found out something useful, also feel free to let me know so I can make an addition. As I imagine most traffic here will be from reddit, you can message me there. If you notice any typos, or more importantly any incorrect information, please let me know so I can rectify the problem.
