When I filled the criteria to spawn the arms dealer, rather than wait until an empty house was built, "the demolitionist was slain" and the arms dealer moved in. Issue can be worked around by simply building more empty houses ahead of time, but new players won't know that's necessary.
 
Are you sure that demolitionist wasn't killed by an enemy, which freed up housing allowing the arms dealer to move in?
 
Pretty sure. There were no enemies around (I check about 20 seconds after the message came up) and the two messages came simultaneously.
 
He might have also drowned.

While I won't discount that perhaps a bug did happen, it is unlikely that it was caused by trying to get a new NPC to move in.

Sometimes enemies manage to catch NPCs off guard, and some NPCs have been known to fall in liquids and die.
 
Fair enough. I just thought that the two messages came too close together to be coincidence, figured I'd report it just in case.
