Speed Up Pregnancy in Fallout Shelter: A Survival Guide
As you build your shelter and navigate the treacherous world of Fallout, managing the needs of your Dwellers is crucial to ensuring the success of your vault. One key aspect of this management is timing births to maximize resource utilization. In this article, we will delve into the various methods you can employ to speed up pregnancy in Fallout Shelter.
Why Speed up Pregnancy?
Pregnancies can be lengthy in Fallout Shelter, and this waiting time can be detrimental to the long-term survival of your vault. By rushing the pregnancy process, you can ensure a healthy supply of new residents and optimized resource allocation.
Understanding How Pregnancy Works
Before diving into methods to speed up pregnancy, let’s briefly discuss how the mechanics work:
• A radiation-treated water fountain provides fertile females with a 2-game-hour chance of getting pregnant.
• Pregnancies can result in one or two new dwellers, with the mother experiencing labor every 2-5 gameplay hours.
• There are some variables that can influence pregnancy outcome, such as the radiation levels nearby, the mother’s nutrition, and whether you have an event of chance (dual conception) or failure.
Short-Term Methods
- Manage Your Radiation Sources: Exposure to higher-level radiation increases pregnancy chance
Place radiation-treated water fountains strategically to optimize fertile residents’ exposure.
Keep non-vital areas less radiation-treated. - Feast Food to Fertility: Pregnant residents receive less nutrition, as calories redirect to the unborn baby. Prioritize residents with less nutritional needs before sending newly pregnant ones for rest/leisure time.
