Let us place one instance of each NPC in each base.
Currently, you can build a bunch of cool bases but there's no real reason to do so as they are all empty. Please add a hosted game option to let you place one instance of each NPC in EVERY base. Since the player can never visit more than one base at a time, they'll never see the extra instances of the characters, and it adds life and vibrancy to each base. The fiction would be that your support staff are following the player's movements and relocate to whatever base he is working out of. This would be a much beloved feature for us town builders!

Yeah, this could be as simple as each flame altar area (i.e. in the base) "remembering" that you summoned the NPC there, WITHOUT erasing where you summoned the NPC in other flame altar areas.
For example you build 2 bases, a treehouse base and a roadside tavern base. Since they are two different locations under different flame altars, then all the game needs to do is simply spawn the NPC when you go to each area. So for example if you had a treehouse forge room for the Blacksmith, and in the tavern you had a workshop for the Blacksmith, the game should just spawn the Blacksmith if you go to either place. The player can't be in two locations at the same time, so this should work. -

RivThe idea is great but if you are playing with friends and each one of them is at the different base? Perhaps instead of cloning your NPC, it would be better to be able to make your own custom Craftspeople' assistants you could spawn in your bases? Someone already made a suggestion about making custom NPCs, maybe these two posts could be merged?

alexisraythis would be perfect!
especially with playing with friends!
but even for solo play I can see this useful.
I mainly play for the building aspect, so I
I and my sister have one base that we have together, we want to build it somehow, try different things, and my boyfriend loves to build elaborate castles and buildings, villages etc.
but without the NPCs in his village it is kinda sad.. he will want to have his own base there, and we could borrow stuff from eachother, and visit each other in the bases..
otherwise for solo, I would like to build a nice base in every biome, using every material in the game for different bases. for now, some of the materials just sit there in the chests.
it would be cool if it was one NPC copy per flame altar
:]
