Settlement Building & NPCs

Learn to build settlements and attract NPCs in Necesse, unlocking valuable services and improving your gameplay.

Building a thriving settlement is a core aspect of Necesse. NPCs (Non-Player Characters) will move into your town if you meet their specific housing requirements. Each NPC offers unique services, such as selling items, crafting, or providing buffs.

• Housing Requirements: A valid house needs walls, a door, a light source, a chair, and a table. It must be a certain size and free of corruption.
• Recruiting NPCs: Some NPCs appear automatically once conditions are met (e.g., defeating a boss, having enough coins). Others require you to find them in the world and rescue them.
• NPC Services: The Merchant sells basic goods, the Nurse heals you, the Blacksmith crafts items, the Alchemist sells potions, and so on. Strategically placing NPCs can create efficient crafting hubs.
• Happiness: NPCs have happiness levels based on their neighbors and biome. Happy NPCs offer better prices and unique items.

Invest time in building a good settlement; it will serve as your central hub for crafting, trading, and healing throughout your adventure.
