NPC not spawning

[Mr Boombastic]

I got tinker (Goblin) and the wizard but i never got them home i didn't know how. So they died by the enimyes it's been a while since that has happend and they haven't came back i got free houses and everything.

Check that they are actually proper houses (walls, chair, table, light source).

Also dead NPC's take ruffely a Terraria day and night to move back in but the Wizard is a old man so he takes his sweet time about it.

It also helps to be way from the house so go mining or run the the end of the map.

[Mr Boombastic]

Yep i am sure they are real houses.. :D ill check

Use the ''housing'' tool in the ESC menu. If it says that the housing is suitable, then you can just wait. If it's not suitable, make it bigger, build it of different blocks or add a table, chair and more lights. :) hope this helped

[Mr Boombastic]

:) Already knew but thanks for sharing

Ohhh, make sure you dont have any invasions going on, this includes a goblin army or a snowman invasions!

go to the original spawn point and wait to see if anything shows up, if so kill them and your NPC's should start spawning again

So basically you had a FileError ;)

I'm having the same problem like him. I unbounded the tinker and the mechanic and they both died. I have 4 free houses, all suitable, can go mining for 20 terraria days and they still arn't back. Please help me

Felix, try posting a screenshot of your housing. There are cases where the game says suitable, but they really are not. A screenshot has helped others figure out what is wrong. Good luck.

I can't get the screen shot to get posted but they are my first 2 screen shots.

House 1, I don't think there is enough room with the low ceiling and the L-shape.
House 2, 3, 4...is that a wall of ebonstone? If so, the game probably figures the houses are too close to corruption.

I'll try thanks
