Do dwellers level up faster in crafting-rooms?
I started crafting a legendary weapon in the "Weapon Workshop" and put several full stat dwellers in there. The dwellers were all at Level 40 - 50 and I noticed that pretty much every dweller leveled up during the crafting process. That leads me to the question, if there's actually a higher experience gain in these rooms, compared to "regular" production-rooms?
I was also wondering, if the type of item (common, rare, legendary) had any influence on the amount of experience gained?

Ok, so I finally gave this a go. Here are my findings.
Trained 4 dwellers to max. stats at level 1. Meet our 4 heroes:
All are equipped with a Heavy Wasteland Gear (to get max HP gain per Level-up).
- Mr. Worker: He will be working in a Nuka Cola Plant with 5 other Dwellers
- Mr. Wasteland: His task is to roam the wastelands
- Mr. Soloworker: He well be working in a Nuka-Cola Bottler on its own
- Mr. Outfitter: He well be working in an outfit plant all by himself, building a T-60F Power Armor.
Here are the stats after ~1 hour (Levels: 3, 2, 3, 4):
After ~10 hours (Levels: 13, 7, 13, 6):
After ~15 hours (Levels: 17, 8, 19, 7):
As you can see, the experience gain in crafting rooms seems to be at least double the amount you get from normal production rooms.
The levels of the dwellers that remained in the vault could potentially be even higher, because they stop gaining experience once they level up (you'll have to click them to continue). And I'm sure I wasted some precious time by not opening the game at exactly the right moments. I guess this also explains the discrepancy between the two dwellers in production rooms…
Conclusion: Experience gain is really good in crafting rooms. So best stick dwellers in there that aren't at level 50 yet. It's no alternative to leveling in the wasteland though, because you'll have to babysit the dwellers (clicking them to level up) and the experience gain doesn't ramp up like the experience gained in the wasteland.

How do you make dwellers level up faster?
S.P.E.C.I.A.L Stats I have done my own personal testing; with max stats a dweller at level 1 should reach level 50 between 3 - 5 days in the Wasteland depending on RNG events. They also earn between 1000 and 5000 caps a day. All stats max out at 10. This is important to remember for Endurance.How long does it take for a dweller to level up?
Your dwellers can level up until Level 50. Each level of your dweller will increase their health points. The S.P.E.C.I.A.L. stats will be capped at 10 for training.How To Create Fallout Shelter's Strongest Dwellers: Vault Log #10

I have a feeling that in production room experience is only gained when you are online (actually playing the game - it will max to the production time of your room say 5 mins for power generation etc) unlike wasteland or crafting which is something that is running even when you are not playing. It is this mechanic that is giving the impression that production room experience is way less.
