Should I assign dwellers to the storage room?
I've played Fallout Shelter for a while now and normally use dwellers with appropriate SPECIAL stats for each room (Strength in the reactor, Perception in the water supply, etc).
However, I have a question regarding Endurance. The only room which uses this is the storage room. It doesn't produce anything; it has no cooldown; it just does nothing...
Even if I just build and upgrade the warehouse, my stock capacity is increased. Is there any good reason for me to waste my dwellers by assigning them to storage rooms?
Best Answer
There are no reasons for placing dwellers in the warehouse that are related to actual warehousing, however there are other reasons:
Dwellers with high endurance become happy from being stationed in the warehouse.
This is useful for doing something about all those 50% happiness dwellers on coffee brake; you can park them in the warehouse instead where they grow happy
It is also needed for high Endurance dwellers when you get the task to put X dwellers in the right room
Dwellers don't gain experience from being in the warehouse.
If you are training your dwellers to full endurance before you let them level, this is quite useful. It gives you more accessible place than the door queue to put your dwellers on "hold".
(Dwellers gain HP each time they level, and the amount of HP gained depends on the Endurance they have at the moment they level. Once they have levelled there is no going back, so you might want your dwellers to stay at level 1 until you have trained them to full endurance.)
Dwellers in a warehouse contain incidents in that warehouse.
For this reason alone it is worthwhile to have at least one dweller in every warehouse. The single dweller will contain the strength of the incident while you move other dwellers there to fully solve the incident.
The alternative is to place your warehouses deep down at the bottom of your vault and stagger them, so that incidents can't spread.
Also note in relation to point (2) that dwellers in a warehouse do gain a bit of experience from preventing incidents, but it is usually so rare for a particular warehouse to have an incident that it is negligible.

How do you know what room to assign dwellers to?
You can check a dweller's stats to see what room they're best suited for, or simply drag them to the room in question to see what number they'll add to its overall production rating.Does it matter how many dwellers are in a room?
Generally, each room can facilitate two dwellers. Merged rooms may be occupied by up to 6 dwellers. Production rooms require a specific S.P.E.C.I.A.L trait to run, while training rooms increase a specific trait of the selected dwellers.Do you need a storage room in Fallout Shelter?

Answer 2
To all of that it has another purpose: more dwellers with a higher endurance in warehouse = more junk items from scrapping. I used to have the room empty and mostly I got nothing from scrapping weapons or clothes, now when it is full of high endurance people I got items from scrapping every time, so it seems like a big difference. If you are scrapping at all of course.
Answer 3
If you put a dweller in the storage room with higher endurance stats than the rest, nothing will happen. Their happiness won't increase more than any other room, so just train their strength or agility.
