Housing Not Valid, Need Help
I have 20 3x12 NPC prisons with a chair and workbench in each of them. For some reason, only 3 of them are considered valid. Anyone know why this is happening or how to fix? The link is here: https://imgur.com/a/8mGYpF8

While there might not be enough "grass" blocks alone to breach the limit, every block of vine or tall grass counts if I recall.

Only 3 people are satisfied in living than less than ideal conditions. They probably like to hurt themselves.

I don't think it's biome dependant... Is it?

A House is considered corrupted based on its "Corruption/Crimson rating," which calculates all tiles in a 45-block "radius" around the house; a house's Corruption/Crimson rating must be 250 or less. This is about half the blocks in the radius.
Each tile of Ebonstone/Crimstone, Ebonsand/Crimsand, and Corrupted/Crimson vines/plants increases a House's rating by 1.
Each tile of Hallowed grass, Pearlsand, and Hallowed vines/plants reduces the rating by 1.
Each Sunflower reduces a House's rating by 5."
In practice, it sometimes seems upset about amounts lower than that 250 tiles. So I'd recommend removing the crimson grass and see if that helps.

The crimson limit doesn't apply to rooms for players to set spawn in. If you want NPCs to live there with you it may be a challenge, but a clever artist may be able to pull it off with very careful block placement.
An area can still produce the crimson/corruption music and background while being NPC-inhabitable...it just takes some work!
