How to Find
In order to spawn the Goblin Tinkerer, you must defeat the Goblin Invasion. He is normally found in the dungeon, Jungle or underground, bound much like the Mechanic, you may release him by right-clicking on him. If found in the dungeon, he may be found above or below sea level.

Once rescued, he will stay in the vicinity until you build and/or assign a house for him. If he dies before you save him, he will re-spawn at a random location. Reloading the game after finding him but before saving him will also cause him to spawn at a random location.

 * "YES, gold is stronger than iron. What are they teaching these humans nowadays?" (This could be a reference to Mojang's game, Minecraft. Gold being weaker than Iron in the game. Or it's refering to real life as gold is weaker than iron.)
 * "Yo, I heard you like rockets and running boots, so I put some rockets in your running boots." (Most likely a reference to the "YO DAWG" meme. A picture of Xzibit is shown saying he heard the reader likes two things and combining the two."
