THREAD OVERHAUL IS IN PROGRESS (updates to the thread and new sprites coming soon!)
For a while I have been thinking about a science-themed NPC, and I have finally come to the forums to suggest it. My idea: The Chemist!
The chemist would move onto any vacant house after WoF is defeated. He sells various science themed items and two new crafting stations.
