| − | A '''House''' (or '''Home''') is a structure built by the player that Town [[NPC]]s require in order to spawn, with one House required per NPC. A structure must meet several requirements in order to function as a House (see details below). You can check if a structure meets the requirements by using the [[Housing Menu]]'s top button, labeled with a question mark ("?"). NPCs generally retreat to their Houses at [[night]] and remain in them until dawn. They will also retreat to their houses during a [[Solar Eclipse]] (since [[1.2.3]]). |

Dirt walls placed by the player do work. |
||
| − | * Background walls may contain holes ''if'' the holes are no taller or wider than four tiles. (e.g. 4 background tiles across or tall, so the maximum size is 4x4, 16 in total. The hole cannot exceed 4x4 or 16 tiles.). Walls may have multiple holes as long as they are separated by at least a single tile of background walls. |

Quitting and restarting in single-player mode will place the NPC in its house. At night, NPCs will be automatically placed inside their Houses if the player travels several screens away, or if the player uses a [[Magic Mirror]] or [[Teleporter]]. |
||
| − | * In single-player, a total of 19 NPCs (20 during the Christmas season) will eventually become available to a player in an ordinary biome who fully advances through the game. It may be worth building a structure containing 19 rooms (or 20 if during the Christmas season) that meet the House requirements when planning a headquarters. The [[Truffle]] is an additional 20th NPC (or 21st, if during the Christmas season), but must be in a surface mushroom biome, and will likely need to be housed separately from the player's main structure. |

| − | * If a stone wall has been converted into [[Pearlstone Wall]], the House will become invalid. |
||
| − | * If building a house at a world's original [[spawn]] point, it is best to not place any [[foreground object]]s or blocks where characters appear. This will remove the object(s) and place them in the new player's inventory. |
||
| − | * You can replace doors with platforms of any kind if you have 3 where a door should be. Good if you have large rooms or hallways that you want to have NPCs in, or if you hate the sound of NPCs opening and closing doors constantly. |

||
| + | * Although five to six shots can be fired per press, firing six shots at the same enemies are likely to only cause three hits on each enemy, which should be kept in mind so as not to waste gel. |
||
| − | * If you wish to prevent [[NPC]]s from wandering around, place a torch on the ground on each side of the door (it does not necessarily have to be on the ground since 1.2). It will not only count as a light source but also prevent the NPC from leaving. Keep in mind this will also complicate opening the door for the player, as you will need to face away from the door to open it or right-click the torch and re-place it when you want to enter. [[Wooden Beam]]s and [[Platform]]s can work just as well. |
||
| + | * A Flamethrower with the '''Slow''' modifier may actually be better, as it does not consume as much gel but has around the same DPS. |

The Flamethrower is a Hardmode ranged weapon that uses Gel for ammunition. The Flamethrower's projectiles pierce through unlimited enemies and inflict the On Fire debuff!
For a standard Flamethrower, every click of the attack button consumes one Gel and generates five "lines" of fire in quick succession, that can be spread over an area by moving the mouse while firing. With some Modifiers that increase firing speed (eg. Unreal and Rapid), each attack consumes two gel and fires six lines. Its best modifier is Unreal.

A gel farm.
- Water stops the Flamethrower's projectiles, although it will hit enemies just under its surface, and it will not fire at all while under water. The Flamethrower will fire into lava, but will not fire from within lava.
- The Flamethrower has the ability to pierce throw 4 enemies, hitting up to about 5 enemies per shot.
- If shot at a 1-block thick floor from below, enemies walking on top will take damage.
- The Frost Moon event adds the Elf Melter, an indirect upgrade of the Flamethrower.
Tips
- Flamethrowers are exceptional for boss fights, especially against The Destroyer, because the Flamethrower can hit multiple segments at once.
- Although five to six shots can be fired per press, firing six shots at the same enemies are likely to only cause three hits on each enemy, which should be kept in mind so as not to waste gel.
- A Flamethrower with the Slow modifier may actually be better, as it does not consume as much gel but has around the same DPS.
- One could make a gel farm using Slime Statues to easily stockpile ammunition. Gastropods are another abundant source.
- If one cannot find any slime statues, the Slime Rain event is a great way to farm gel if you can trigger one.
