Fallout Shelter: How to get your Dwellers’ happiness up

There are several ways of getting your Dwellers’ happiness up in Fallout Shelter, as well as keeping them content while they’re working in your Vault. Here’s everything you can do:

  • Keep your resource productions above the limit. Not having enough water and food will impact their health as well, and having the lights out of their assigned workplaces brings Dweller down.
  • Build a Radio Studio and transmit inside the Vault instead of looking for Dwellers in the Wasteland. If you also place high Charisma dwellers inside the studio, you’ll greatly boost Dwellers’ happiness.
  • Assign Dwellers to a correct job according to their highest SPECIAL stat.
  • Assign them to Living Quarters and get them to talk to potential partners.
  • If you manage to get a successful rush, you’ll raise the overall happiness of that room by 10%.
  • If your Dwellers are hurt or affected by radiation, use RadAways or Stimpaks to heal them and raise their happiness.

Fallout Shelter: How to check your Dwellers’ happiness

If you want to know whether your Dwellers are happy or not in Fallout Shelter, you can simply select them and see their happiness percentage. You can also check your Vault’s overall happiness by reading the number that you’ll see on the left corner of your screen.

Remember that you can zoom in and wait for your Dwellers to say something, which is often related to their humor. They will express what’s making them upset, or even suggest which alternatives would make them happier.

All daily & weekly happiness rewards in Fallout Shelter

If you manage to keep the Vault Dwellers’ overall happiness high in Fallout Shelter, you’ll get a daily bonus on production and training time, as well as a Caps reward on the Daily Report.

Every time the Daily Report is issued, you’ll get a stamp for one out of seven days as well, and when you reach day seven, you’ll get a Lunchbox as a reward.

And that’s everything you need to know to make your Dwellers happy in Fallout Shelter. If you want to know more about Bethesda’s game, you can check our guides below:
