How to move NPC's?

My seasonal merchant escaped confinement and he won't go back into his room.

Just build a house that have a bed for them. By also placing a thing to spawn them.

For some reason it automatically spawn them in that house after you leave.

I just had the last merchant escape the room and they won't re-summon... I'm wondering if it's a new bug.

You most likely going to ignore me any way.

They glitch through the door just like those animal glitch threw wooden gate/wooden fence. Start building walls to keep them in with out any doors. Only I meet them now is way point teleport.

Just use conveyor belt to force them back in.

Does it work to use conveyors instead of doors to keep them in their house?

Makes sense that it's the same as the livestock bug. I have been using the "corner fence" as a gate for my livestock pen... maybe I need to do that for the merchant house too.

It is odd though that my merchant has wandered half a screen away, I added another bed and replaced her artifact and she won't re-appear... that's always worked for me in the past.

What learn that any thing like furniture in creative mode next to a wall can cause animal glitch threw wall. I using conveyors to speed up the like hood of them glitching threw wall to confrim it. Usually happen when player is not around it. I been avoid putting any furniture next to a wall. Even NPC get stuck inside of a furniture and have not seen NPC glitch thew wall yet. Ever since I stop using door/gate for animal and npc. I been using teleport way point to go inside their house. So far they didn't glitch threw wall yet.

Other user was right about how replacing item spawn npc on the floor to spawn them. I remember wiki said that bed have to be replace too and also I make sure never sleep that bed. All you have to do is break the bed replace it back down.

So today when I loaded the game the missing merchant re-summoned in the merchant house like they are supposed to, so it seems reloading fixed that issue of them not summoning.
