So I can't figure out why this isn't valid housing

I'm not really trying to make an NPC move in, I just want to be able to set spawn.

Does clouds just not work as a building material?

I made a house like this once with ebonwood and demonite and it worked perfect :/

Wait, you dont need doors?

Exactly, a platform works aswell
Also u can have gaps in ur background wall .. BUT they cant exceed 2x2 gaps.

So I've tried a lot of things, including making it smaller using platforms. Still doesn't work.

Also, according to the wiki, the "This is not valid housing" message only appears in the case of Wrong/not enough walls, it being too small, or if it's too close to corruption.

This house is around 1000-1500 blocks away from corruption, so it's not that one.

There is most certainly not a breach in the walling, as I have doublechecked many times.

And lastly, it is not too small either.

I've also made a smaller room using only cloud blocks/walls with no door, and it is valid.

I cannot for the life of me figure this out.

I told you that a basic structure works, so right now I'm betting on the round shape of the housing, try making it more "squeary" inside and leave it "roundy" on the outside.

I might try that later, but I doubt it'll work.

Its WAY too big. You probably have to divide it into 4 sections for it to properly work. I am quite sure that is the problem.

Meta, im sure that isnt the problem. I have a flying demonite castle and NPCs can still live there

Having it in the air doesn't affect anything. And the overall size of the structure doesn't matter. The size of the individual rooms is what matters. If you look at the screenshot, the ENTIRE sphere is all part of the same room. That is way to big. Try destroying all the walls and doors inside your castle and you will see it will not work.

Is there any corruption/crimson around anywhere? That would stop NPC spawning and make it innapropriate for use.

Going to the housing tab and clicking will usually tell you what is the matter. (Is it properly enclosed? Is there a appropriate entrance? Is it too big?)

My advice would be to try making a smaller house just to test whether it is the clouds fault or the room layout.
