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. 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.
