If they already have rooms, then you'll have to go into their rooms and trash them. That way they might run down to the other rooms.

Did that. They stood on the empty lot til Blood Moon zombies ate them.

However, I think I found an answer. Natural dirt walls apparently are flagged as "monster spawning areas" if they are exposed, and NPC's don't consider them safe. Also apparently the cracks between two different kinds of wall tiles are "unsafe" and will disallow a room from being used.

*sigh*

Dumb, but there you have it.

So if baseless speculation is all we have, we might as well treat it like fact.

Hm, but you CAN have holes in the wall as long as they're under a certain size. I know people moved into MY rooms with 2x2 windows.

Indeed, the windows in the all-brick pub upstairs are 2X2, but the cracks between bricks in the hallway total up to 1X10 or so. I guess the game processes it as a gaping hole or something.

Now, should I shove everyone into the crappiest dorm ever and summon EoC's to kill them, for being so picky? I think so.

I might as well ask this here, since I refuse to register at terraria online and steam is useless...

Can anyone tell me why no NPC's are moving into the 3 non-pub rooms here? They've been up for several in-game days, should be perfectly livable, and the workshop already attracted the demoman, but he wouldn't go back in after he showed up and claimed it for a day.

Any holes in the walls have to be 4x4 or less.  The banner room doesn't work because the stripes of copper back-wall are too tall to count as a room.  The room with Chinese lanterns doesn't work because of the horizontal stripe at the bottom.  The workshop in the storage room doesn't work anymore because platforms count as walls; it's too small.

Say.. I got a crazy idea.. What if someone were to dig out the entire map? Walls and everything!
Even on a small map this would be quite a feat.

Sounds cool.

I wanted to build a room as big as the overworld...

Anyhow, the generator works, just really slowly.

Need more lava.

Hack in some dynamite and it isn't as bad. Alternatively somebody with a vast stockpile of money could bulk buy a bunch of explosives and wreck havoc. So long as it is a dedicated strip mine server. Every screen down or so you would have to build platforms from each edge to make sure there are no floating chunks.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

Well I aint, since I have started over from scratch.

It's a large piggy bank, essentially.

Piggy bank addition.

Identical to the piggy bank in every way, except looks.
Any safe you open will have the same items in it.
Every piggy bank you open will have a different set of items, but those will be the same.
You can use either (or both!) to partially "extend" your inventory, you just plop it down when you need to access its slots, and pick it back up again later.
It's easier with safes.
