Time to go over all the mechanics you need to know about one of my favorite additions to Terraria – Pylons! I’ll also do a brief update of the Happiness variables that were changed in the 1.4.1 patch, and give you what I think is a pretty good layout of your various Pre-Hardmode NPCs in different Pylon Villages, to have solid happiness of the NPCs while ensuring flexibility and functionality of your Pylons.

  1. You know what would be awful? If Re-Logic changed the NPC happiness system so that the liking/loving/disliking chart is different every seed, so that you can't just look up who loves who.

  2. Just encountered a funny issue what painter wont sell pylon during Christmas and a party, or during Christmas on drunk world. Its because all slots get busy and only one left so player can sell items to him

  3. My world has no sand its all corrupted so how the hell do you do the sand pylons ?? Im trying to clean it but it don’t work and im stuck with only 11 npcs man this game is impossible to understand

  4. None of my pylons work I have more than 2 villagers and in the same biome but it’s say you are to far

  5. Personally I like to put the guide and the truffle together as the truffle likes him and the guide doesn’t like nor dislike the glowing mushroom
