Terraria – How to Control Where NPCs Live

terraria

An exciting new feature is described in the 1.1 patch notes:

  • There is a new NPC housing interface that can be used to assign living areas to NPC’s. This interface will also tell you if a room is missing any requirements.

How can this interface be accessed?

Best Answer

You can access this interface from the inventory menu. Near the PVP controls, just above the equipment grid, there is a small house. When you click it, you'll toggle the equipment to the housing interface.

You'll then be able to use the different NPCs faces to assign them a room, or the question mark to check if a room is able to house a NPC.
