Raising a dweller's happiness

Raising a dweller's happiness - Elderly Couple Holding Potted Plants while Smiling

This is related to How can I increase my Vault Dweller's Happiness?, but slightly different.

I know what can raise a dweller's happiness, but what I want to know is what can raise it by how much?

For example, being a healthy, unaffected dweller with no job keeps a dweller's happiness at 50%. Then on the other hand, breeding raises it up to 100%. However I have noticed that there are fairly definitive "levels" throughout the vault. Generally at 100%, 90-80%, 75%, and 50%.

I know what can lower a dweller's happiness, and I know that breeding is a guaranteed boost to 100%, but I can't always afford to have a Vault full of pregnant women.

So, to clarify my question - What Vault features raise a dweller's happiness; and to what level?



Best Answer

Playing on PC. I had one male dweller with happiness at 10%. After breeding his happiness was 72% - and increase of 62%. I didn't check his happiness immediately after breeding; I checked it after I sent him back to his assignment. This time lapse may account for the extra 2%. My guess is the actual increase was 60% in this case.
