If my dweller has a value of 10 in Strength and is wearing an item that gives +2 Strength, do the rooms consider them to have a strength of 12?

Trying to figure out if there is a reason to train dwellers all the way to 10 in an attribute if they have a 7 but are wearing an outfit that gives +3.

Anyone experimented with this?

Unlike Fallout 3, I think a SPECIAL attribute above ten actually continues to further affect results. Personally, I haven't tested it yet because I don't have any Dwellers with a 10 stat, but as soon as I do, I'm going to assign them a job and see if the production times change when I equip them. I guess I could try it earlier with an 8 or 9, but I don't have much in the way of gear yet.

yes, it does

It does? How so?


Whenever I hover a person with >10 stats over a room, it just says the stat is 10.

I had two special dwellers from lunchbox cards. One with base Int of 9 with an Expert Lab Coat +7. The second had 7 Int with Librarian outfit +4. I tested them seperately and alone in a 4-man Medbay. The one with 16 overall had a much shorter production time.
