Ability to disable prgress bar popups is a must

Currently have a challenge for a Mr. Handy that requires me to collect 550 food in under a minute. The challenge itself is pretty ridiculous itself but is possible with rushing with a reasonable amount of diners. However, the design of the progress bar popups directly impedes your ability to rapidly rush rooms in a short period of time. This makes the challenge nearly impossible without an absurd amount of diners. I've already sunk 20k caps for this, and I have failed 6 times, all directly because of this poor design choice. Fix it.


Up to 15 failed attempts. Count is currently at 8 due to progress bar, 7 to the blatent lie of fail chance at rushing a room (7 times, all the same room at 23% chance to fail, in a row. The odds of that happening are 0.000034% and yet its happened to me twice).

I found some of the objectives are ridiculous and unreasonable when I first played this game in July. I though developer would make it better after hearings from the forums. However, it is just the opposite. Each update come with worse objectives.

Wouldn't be so bad, if clicking anywhere NEAR the progress window didn't count as clicking on it. For some reason, if you click next to it, that still opens the objectives window. If they would just fix that, at least you could click [rush] since at least part of that sticks out from behind the popup.. but pretty much anywhere near the bottom of the screen opens the objectives window, and that seems like it might even be a glitch. Usually pushing a UI button requires actually clicking the button.. not anywhere even remotely close to it.





Seems you have a higher chance of failing if your dwellers aren't full health. I think happiness might be a factor, too. The percentage is inaccurate, because it seems to be calculated prior to other factors.
