How to assign dwellers in Fallout Shelter
Assigning dwellers in Fallout Shelter is super easy! Just tap and hold a dweller, then drag them to the room you want them to work in. The game will show you if they're a good fit by giving you a green up arrow if their S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats match the room's requirement. It’s like playing matchmaker but with nuclear survivors!

I once accidentally put a dweller with low Intelligence in a science lab thinking it wouldn’t matter much. Spoiler: it does. Always match the dweller’s stats to the room. Learned that the hard way!
Quick tip: don't just throw your dwellers anywhere! Check their S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats and match them to the right rooms for max efficiency. Strength is great for power plants, Perception for water treatment, and Intelligence for medbays. Matchmaking at its finest!
Honestly, just throw them where you need them. Sure, matching S.P.E.C.I.A.L stats is smarter, but sometimes you just gotta fill a room.
