Speeding Up Training in Fallout Shelter

Fallout Shelter is a popular mobile game that requires careful planning and strategy to succeed. However, some players may experience issues with training their dwellers, particularly when it comes to waiting for them to complete tasks. In this case, I stumbled upon an interesting phenomenon that could potentially speed up the training process.

After restarting my game after a four-week break, I noticed something peculiar. My survivors didn't have any negative events recorded in their logs, and some of the explorers who had been dead when I shut down the app were still alive. This led me to believe that the game doesn't actually run in the background; instead, it saves timestamps and calculates what happened the next time you open the app.

This theory is supported by my own experience. When I reopened Fallout Shelter after four weeks, some of the dead bodies lying around hadn't decayed yet, as if time had stood still. I decided to bring these 'undead' dwellers back to the vault and rename them Bear Grylls and Les Stroud - a humorous nod to their unexpected revival.

In my case, I left some explorers in the wilderness and was surprised to find that some of them had survived despite being sent out to die. This raises questions about how Fallout Shelter handles time and the training process. It's possible that the game doesn't have a true 'background' mode, instead relying on timestamps to determine what happens when you reopen it.

While this phenomenon may not be intentional, it could potentially be exploited by players looking to speed up their training. By leaving explorers in the wilderness and shutting down the app for an extended period, players may be able to revive them without having to wait for 24 hours of body decay to pass. Of course, this is purely speculative, and further testing would be needed to confirm this theory.

Regardless, Fallout Shelter's unique approach to time management has left me with a newfound appreciation for the game's mechanics. Who knows - maybe Bear Grylls and Les Stroud will become legendary dwellers in my vault?
