PS4 Multiplying NPCs

[fillibusterblade]

In my world, after a large genocide of NPCs, new NPCs of the same type move in. The most of a single NPC I've ever had thus far are the Pirates, which I used to have 10 of before purging them. I've also had 6 Wizards at once, 2 Painters at once, 5 Goblin Tinkerers at once, and 3 Demolitionists at once! If you couldn't tell already, this happens very often!

Luckily, I have footage of the phenomenon.
Here is the video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sf2P-DjPeIY
It also features another small bug where I go through a ceiling.

I really hope this gets patched, because it's the most bizarre thing ever.


EDIT: I've noticed that the NPC's only spawn if I go over certain points. Maybe that has something to do with it?

Hi there @Sothopery, your home is so inviting your NPCs are inviting their friends to come and live there. I don’t dare ask how you “purged” them, haha.

Seriously though, you’ve got a great video showing the multiple pirates moving in. When you get a moment I’d suggest sending your info straight to the developers here. You can even link them to your video. https://fs30.formsite.com/505games/form15/index.html

This is a known issue as others have also reported getting multiple NPCs, however, it can’t hurt to send in your info as well. It may help them trace down where the problem is.

Haha, thanks. I will try to report the problem on there. It has been occuring less lately, though. I will try to post another video if it ever happens again, too.
