Talk:House

I have rooms on my server map that attract NPCs just fine, yet lack doors.. Nokiemens 00:54, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Wooden platforms work as well. It does not have to be a door. --Demian 18:39, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Is 7x5 requirement true? I couldn't get any NPCs until i expanded my rooms to 8x5. 178.141.117.237 18:40, 26 May 2011 (UTC)
 * I keep seeing various numbers, sometimes including floor/roof and sometimes not. I'm not sure. --MissDolyl 12:11, 27 May 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course, this is the size as measured from inside. Looks like the size requirement is defined by the area of the free space inside of the house, which presumably should be no less than 40 blocks (for example, 10x4 worked for me; non-rectangular works too, but needs more testing) 178.141.117.237 09:42, 29 May 2011 (UTC)

sharing platforms
According to the page, houses "cannot share doors or platforms". yet, for some reason, the nurse and guide in this picture do not seem to have a problem with the platform they share as ceilling/floor respectively. (nevermind the merchant, i just tore his house down)

P.S: NPCs seem to have a problem with the whole floor being made out of platforms, as seen here (the rooms under the nurse's and the merchant's). As soon as i replaced the platforms with bricks, the rooms where occupied within seconds, as seen here. The NPCs do not seem to have a problem with the whole ceilling being made out of platforms though.62.143.60.43 18:18, 29 May 2011 (UTC)
