NPC Happiness (Terraria 1.4 Beginner's Guide Series)

:NOTE: PARTS OF THIS VIDEO ARE NOW OUT OF DATE DUE TO THE 1.4.1 PATCH!!

The biggest change is that the privacy bonus was decreased from 10% down to 5%. There were small adjustments to other variables, but in effect they usually won't make much of a difference. At some point I'll try to post an update video, but I've heard rumors that these changes might get reverted, so for now I'll hold off.

:END NOTE:

Third episode of my Terraria 1.4 - Journey's End Beginner's Guide Series, covering NPC Happiness! In this video I explain the practical details and mechanics of how the happiness system works so you can make your preferred villagers as happy as possible and buy your pylons!
