Offline Mode Pros and Cons

[Wildly Mild]

I'm wondering exactly what i gain and lose when i don't have the game open. Can my dwellers gain xp, Take damage, Or die? I need to know all the details

Your vault stops everything as soon as the next production is complete. But your resources bars do not go down also while you are offline. All things that have a timer still progress, pregnancies, crafting weapons, on their way to quests or exploring the wasteland.
So DONT close the game when you have people exploring and then dont open it for quite some hours.
When you come back those guys are most likely dead since they keep encountering monsters and getting injured.

Right, Closing the game with people in the wasteland seems like a huge risk because that needs to be monitored closely. Other than that, It seems like offline mode can help you gain more resources without any risk whatsoever, I feel like it's a little op

Not a huge risk, if they got enough stimpack and medkit, they can last a long time (Way better as they get higher level)

And if they die, you can revive them for some caps.

What if i close the game during an event?

Though if your playing survival mode, no revival so look out for that too

Unless they are high levelled and have heaps of stim and rad away. I give them 15 Stim and 6 rad before going to bed. Come back and they don't even use half of that.

I usually send out my people to explore the wasteland as the last thing of the day. Then I check up on them in the morning and see if they need help. I always play survival so its a tricky thing. But if you have a pet with you then they can always carry the items with them home.

I'am currently experiencing it letting my explorers in vault to see if they recover with time safe full health.

I have 2 explorers out at the moment, one has been gone nearly a day and still has 17 stimpacks. I just leave them going when I close game and next time I open it I check and decide if I can leave them for a few hours more. Only came back once to a dead one and it cost me 1000 caps to revive him which was no big deal. I let him explore for a little bit more then recalled him lol.
As for regen, yes, the vault dwellers regen while doing their duties or whatever.

After many hours offline i noticed health is faster regenerated than radiation. So regen work offline if you let dwellers inside vault.
