Just the space is enough but then that wouldn't be as cool). (It doesn't need to be filled with lava for it to work. Don't want a unicorn to run into my house and impale my NPCs), I dug a moat around my house that is at least 4 blocks wide and filled it with lava. Then to prevent the hallow from spreading too wide which would spawn monsters( I don't want monsters spawning so close to my house. I simply pushed back the corrupted biome by using Holy Water(crafted by using 5 Pixie Dust, 1 bottle of water and 1 hallowed seed) which convert anything, even the corruption into hallowed land. The corruption has crept a tiny bit too close to my house for it to become habitable. I had in fact missed an obvious requirement for my house. It could be because you built your house in a part of the world that is now corrupted As far as I can tell there shouldn't be an invasion going on.Ĥ. Do the invasions last that long? It has been about two reals days and a lot more in-game "days" now. This doesn't explain why my guide isn't respawning since they don't need a condition to respawn (other than having a suitable housing which the point above already prove isn't the problem).ģ. Their spawn conditions aren't met anymore. They don't have appropriate housing - There is an in-game housing query function (changes your cursor into a ?) that lets you click on your house to see if it is still a suitable house and I clicked in every room in my house and they are all listed as "This housing is suitable" or "This housing is already occupied".Ģ. Is there a list of reasons for the NPCs to not respawn?ġ. Is there a way to check why they aren't respawning?

it's been several in game "days" now and they have yet to respawn.

I am currently in hard mode and during a blood moon, several of my NPCs including my guide and my healer died.
