In other words, send them out as spaced out as you need to to make sure they're equipped well. If you have 25 stimpacks, why bother sending two dwellers with 12/13 packs? Send one with max stimpaks and half rad packs should be good. Given this, large training rooms have been a must. Note: I also think it is smart to not build new production rooms until current rooms are both fully upgraded, fully staffed, and staffed by dwellers with the maxed out applicable skill. Since luck was the last thing I had access to train for, most of my explorers were chosen because they were born with higher than average luck. If a dweller's cumulative skill total is below 25 points, I won't send them out. In terms of progress, I have 50 dwellers. Since rare items are usually found further from the vault, a small crew of highly trained explorers is likely to find more rare items than a large crew of poorly trained explorers. training rooms full as my first non-production priority. Why wouldn't I max out my exploration? This thread pointed me in a better direction. My theory was, explorers bring back stat-unceasing gear and caps to upgrade rooms. I was originally sending out as many people as I could spare. What are the signs that I should send out more explorers?Īfter more time playing, I have a better feel for when to focus on exploration and figured I'd share: In hopes of getting rarer loot, I'm considering making a change and sending out luckier people for short explorations instead of stronger ones for long explorations.

Also, one guy just picked up a bazooka looking thing and he's been out for 12 hours and still has 8 stim-paks left. One guy has max endurance and he stays out for 12+ hours. Maybe one out of five explorations results in a great item. Most explorers make it for 6 or 7 hours before I have to recall them and they have maybe 15 items on average, most people weapons that do a maximum of 7 damage and outfits that add 1-3 points to a few skills. I generally give them 6-7 stim-paks and 4 rad-packs. That's around 25%, growing toward one third, of my workforce exploring. As I train my dwellers stats to higher levels, I am moving towards having 7-8 exploring at once. At any given time I have about 6-7 out in the wastelands.
