They may have also been killed by the encounters generated out that far, so you may have to revive them. This can result in tonnes of legendary (junk and recipes) and rare loot drops. If you've been away for 24+ days, then it can sometimes generate encounters and loot drops only from around the current time and not from when they started exploring. The game can sometimes have problems properly handling absences more than 24 days though. Are they superhuman?Ī: As said in 1.1 the game generates everything when you load it up based on the current and last played times, and this includes wasteland encounters and loot drops. Q: I haven't logged in for weeks or more and my dweller(s) in the wasteland have all this good gear and are still alive. This is why travelling across time zones shouldn't break things (for long at least) since it's a short time difference. If you also 'catch up' to however far forward you went that should resolve the issues as well. Note though that you have to open a vault while a negative amount of time has passed for it to break if you move time forward then backward without opening a vault it won't know what happened.

If you've done this already and are looking for a way to fix it, check out 15.4. Room timers being broken in the way of taking hundreds of hours to finish instead of several minutes.Īnything else in the game involving a timer potentially being broken (training dwellers, explorer time, etc.) Known side effects of messing with device time include: If you move your device time forward the game will just think a lot of time has passed, but if you ever move your device time back (such as resetting it to the correct time after moving it forward), the game will think a negative amount of time has passed, and that will break things.

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.
