I noticed a strange thing about Demolitionist that I do not see mentioned on wiki.
Practically on my world I created immediately a good number of houses with all requirements needed to accommodate an NPC.
The first NPC that arrived was the Nurse. Then I found many bombs but Demolitionist never came. He arrived just immediately Merchant came, when I finally got the 50 silver coin needed for him.
Is this behavior correct? Is there and order in NPC appearance in addition to the minimum requirements for each one?

Exceptions to the single NPC rule, which spawn before the order given above:
There is no order in which they spawn over time. But they can't spawn together, thus first in order…
