Rushing

Rushing is a mechanic found in Fallout Shelter. It can be done at anytime to speed up the production of a room. However, there is always a chance to fail, which will trigger an incident. An initial rush's odds of success are derived from the assigned dwellers' SPECIAL stats which affects that specific room. For example, the odds of success for rushing a power generator or a nuclear reactor would be affected by the assigned dwellers' strength. After attempting a rush the rooms production timer will reset, regardless if the rush passed or failed.

The chance of a rush failing will increase after each rush attempt, and will not reset until the game has been exited or a moderate length of time has been passed. Before rushing, be sure to equip your dwellers with weapons in case of an incident occurring. Only production rooms may be rushed, training cannot be rushed and neither can the storage room, the living quarters, the vault door or any elevator.
