The official Terraria Wiki page for House (http://terraria.wiki.gg/House) indicates that valid housing my be any of the following sizes:
Excluding ceiling, floor and walls
3 tiles wide x 10 tiles high
4 tiles wide x 8 tiles high
6 tiles wide x 6 tiles high
7 tiles wide x 5 tiles high
8 tiles wide x 4 tiles high
10 tiles wide x 3 tiles high
Including ceiling, floor and walls
5 tiles wide x 12 tiles high
6 tiles wide x 10 tiles high
8 tiles wide x 8 tiles high
9 tiles wide x 7 tiles high
10 tiles wide x 6 tiles high
12 tiles wide x 5 tiles high
I am working on a housing project that lines up twenty-one houses, each using the 6 tiles wide x 10 tiles high (including walls) layout, side by side. The houses each appear to meet all of the other requirements listed on the wiki page, but I am getting the dreaded "This is not valid housing" error message for each one.
I noticed that when I switch the size of the housing to 8 tiles wide x 8 tiles high (including walls) using a similar layout, I get a "This is suitable housing" message, so I am thinking the error has something to do with the 6x10 size, and not any of the other requirements, but I could be wrong.
I would strongly prefer to go with the more vertical 6 wide x 10 high layout (or any layout that retains a max width of 6 blocks including walls) as that design fits perfectly with the other 80% of my base. Could anyone with knowledge of current NPC housing requirements of Terraria PC Ver. 1.2.4.1 take a look at my vertical house (on the left) and let me know why it is not working? I've tried everything I can think of, including adding an extra block, or two extra blocks to the height, moving the workbench and chair in various other arrangements, etc. and nothing seems to work.
Thanks in advance.
