-
32 tiles worth of open space in their home
-
7x5 and 8x4 are the smallest open spaces that the npcs will accept
-
a minimum of six blocks of width and four blocks of height
-
A 6x4 home is still unacceptable however, as it does not meet the minimum requirement for open space inside the home.
-
5X269 is the largest room that accepts a bed
-
if you take out the background wall in that cave and replace it with identical dirt, it is now valid. The same goes for the dungeon!
-
you cannot use naturally generated caves as your NPC homes
-
you can put windows and other holes in the background wall of your NPCs' homes
-
no hole can be more than four tiles tall or wide
-
added wooden platforms to make a windowsill
-
platform counts as a tile that will fill the gap
-
different types of backwall always leave a 1-tile gap between the two types
-
you do not have to put an actual door on a room that has platform access
-
apparently the demolitionist thinks that this is a perfectly acceptable home
-
NPCs will not, in fact, move into a room with an entirely platform floor
-
a single block of solid flooring is enough
-
the block must be within two blocks of the furniture
-
Wooden platforms in the floor or ceiling of a room count as a door.
-
Doors and platforms do not have to be what we would term useful however - as long as they are contained within the room or its walls the NPCs are happy.
