I remember one time, me and a friend made a torture chamber with wooden houses for the party girl, clothier and stylist. Every time they spawned, if they wanted to sit on their chair to do anything (which wasn't the way to do it since the table was like 10 blocks away), they'd have to jump up through a half tunnel made of spikes. Once they sat on the chair, they'd be slowly incinerated by lava. This would cause them to immediately sit back up from the chair, walk around aimlessly (while still burning), and fall back into the first room, where they would endlessly repeat the cycle, with no way out other than 1 tile wide platforms spaced out so they can't escape.

[@Umbra920]

Reminds me of when Gromek999 was making terrible "housing" in one of his series (don't remember the episode). He managed to make a house (almost) entirely of boulders. Also spikes are valid building blocks too so you could "improve" your design by replacing the one solid block with a spike block.

[@Palemis]

Am I the only one who _hates_ that houses can be "too big"? I was building some cool mushroom house and spent like 30 minutes trying to fill it up as much as possible with furniture but it wasn't enough and had to split it into two houses lol

[@GewelReal]

As an avid 4x8 enjoyer, I don't agree

[@NotSnak]

Hard agree. I just want to have a big room but i cant without the game yelling at me that its too big

[@Xahnel]

​@@NotSnak​ The trick is to build them a _bedroom_ that is correct house size, and then you can make the entire rest of the structure whatever. NPCs don't need a chair and a table, they need a comfort object and a surface object, and you know what counts for that? A bed and a dresser. In fact, lots of furniture and crafting surfaces count as "flat surfaces". I would advise creating a journey world so you can test what items are viable, but generally, if it's something you can sit or lay on, it's a comfort item, and if you can stand on it or put candles/bottles on it, it's a flattop item.

[@NotSnak]

@@Xahnel i mean yes i know this but i want the room they live in to be big i shouldnt have to segment anything off because of arbitrary limitations

Can we note the fact that by stacking teleporters and breaking the one at the bottom you can have literall floating chair and table, meaning that we can reduce a "house" to literal single platform as a door, a house made out of bubble blocks, filled with lava, floating furniture and move in the Goblin Stinkerer, now you have the "perfect house"
