When should I recall explorers?
How long should I leave my poor soul out there to wander the wastelands? I see that his SPECIAL S & E skills have a blue increase bar - but the status time just keeps going up instead of counting down. When should I call him back - or will he come back on his own?
Best Answer
Dwellers will never come back on their own and will keep fighting in the wastelands until they either die or you recall them.
The longer they remain outside, the tougher enemies they'll encounter, and the better rewards they'll find.
The moment you call them back, they'll stop having encounters. Because of that, you should be safe if you call your dweller before he's dead, unless of course you want him dead.

When should I recall my dweller?
You can recall the dweller at any time, though they will take half the time they were exploring to return to the Vault and bring back the spoils of their excursion. Dweller does not suffer damage or radiation when returning from the Wasteland.How long should you let your dweller explore?
My longest runs so far are around 36 hours of exploration and 18 hours return trip. The low level luck people I used to send out would still bring back rusty whatever guns and BB guns even towards the end of their trips. They did some times come back with a nice rifle or the like but that was rare.How do you succeed in fallout shelter?

Answer 2
Recall your explorer when you will no longer be able to micromanage him and watch his health. I prefer to do this right before bed, since he will take no more damage on the way home. For example, if your explorer has been going strong for 7 hours but you need to head to sleep, it might be safer to recall them instead of risking death.
