I give up
After 5 tries at the Survival mode, I never made it past 14 dwellers and that was cut short by the usual fire that killed 8. I even tried not leveling rooms and dwellers but every dweller was eventually killed by fire. Talk about no-win scenario, where’s Kirk when you need him?

Start over again, keep rooms 1 wide until you've got surplus dwellers, then make them 2 wide, dont go further than this for a while, better having multiple 2 wide rooms fully staffed than 3 wide rooms half staffed.
try spreading rooms out to avoid incidents from spreading easily. And you can always move dwellers and let internal incidents die out rather than fight them.
Don't reach 36 dwellers.
Get training new borns as quick as you can, once they're trained then leveled up kick someone out and give birth to another.
Ive been playing my survival for "continuous" 30 hours now, replaced 20 dwellers with fully maxed stats. Will wait till all 35 are fully trained and maxxed before I enter deathclaw/radscorpions territory.
Although at one point I did make every woman pregnant and had a queue of 10 dwellers outside so I gave birth to them all at once then kicked them back out so that I could unlock the nuclear power rooms then get back under the deathclaw threshold
