Does anyone have an explination for how the stats come into play? Like what does Strength account for or Intelligence etc :)

Yes, as taken from the Sheltered Beta FAQ, they do this.

Here is a list of what each of the character attributes and traits do

Character Attributes:

Strength = Dictates damage dealt with weapons/fists. Also used to figure out if a "bully" attempt was successful.

Dexterity = Used to work out if an attack in combat hits. Also used to figure out if a "flee" attempt is successful.

Intelligence = Used in "recruitment" attempts. The higher the number the better the chance you have of recruiting them.

Charisma = Used in "trade" attempts. The higher the number the better the chance of getting "good" trades with NPCs.

Perception = This is used when searching locations and dictates your chance of item discovery.

Character Traits:

Small Eater = Food rations relieve more hunger.

Courageous = First two attacks in an "attack to kill" are guaranteed to hit.

Deep Sleeper = Tiredness stat decreases faster when sleeping.

Proactive = Moves faster in the shelter and whilst exploring.

Hands-on = Craft and fix faster.

Optimistic = Gains stress slower.

Resourceful = Higher chance of recovering more items when deconstructing objects.

Hygienic = Dirtiness increases at a slower rate.

Shouldn't Charisma increase recruitment chance?
