so i got about 50 silver coins on my (specificly) medium sized world (in case that has anything to do with it) and a merchant is suppossed to be available somewhere right? didnt show up in the housing inventory thing, i also collected 2 life crystals (one which i shared my split-screen partner). no nurse in the housing thing either. is this a glitch or is there just something i'm missing here? im a bit of a noob so i'd laugh pretty hard if i missed an instruction, however i built 3 houses, one of which holds my guide, and still no npcs other than garret in the housing thing.
