There are limits to the number of dwellers that you can place within your vault. You need to look after these guys and make sure they survive in order for you to grow your vault.

Vault dwellers are the whole point of this game. Place the dweller in whatever room gives you the highest number. Hover the dweller over each of the rooms and you will see a number show up.
