Allumeria Bed, NPC Housing & Comfort Guide

Quick answer: In 0.15, beds are bought from the Builder NPC, not crafted. To get NPCs to move in, make an enclosed, well-lit room and put the NPC Sign inside the room. Sleeping also checks room comfort; more comfort makes time move faster.

Build a valid room first

The 0.15 launch notes describe Comfort as a room-validation system. It can check enclosure, light, natural light and the blocks in the room. An NPC Sign designates a room as housing, and NPCs only move in when the room reaches a baseline comfort level.

Use this checklist before blaming the NPC system:

the room is enclosed;
it is well lit;
the NPC Sign is inside the room;
the room is open to NPCs;
if you want a specific NPC, satisfy that NPC’s preferences.

A launch-day Steam player hit “This is not an enclosed space” until moving the NPC Sign inside. That is exactly the kind of small placement detail worth checking before rebuilding the whole room.

What each NPC wants

NPC	Current 0.15 preference	What they sell / why you care
Builder	Crafting stations in the room	Building materials and tools; the bed
Farmer	Greenhouse-style room with lots of direct sunlight	Farming tools, seeds and fishing supplies
Merchant	No special machine requirement; wants a well-decorated room	General/basic goods
Blacksmith	Exposed lava and furnaces	Electronics and logic items in the current build; developer says this may change

How to get the bed

Make a valid NPC room.
Let a Builder move in. NPC move-in attempts happen multiple times per in-game day.
Meet the Builder’s room requirements so the shop is available.
Buy the bed. Do not waste time looking for a bed recipe.

Current Early Access gameplay independently shows players checking recipes, failing to find a bed, then discovering through the Compendium that the Builder sells it.

Why the bed may still not work

A bed is not an instant “skip night” button. In 0.15, sleeping requires a comfortable room and higher comfort speeds up time more. If sleeping feels ineffective, re-check room validity and comfort instead of assuming the bed is broken.

Known 0.15.1 issue

The 0.15.1 developer notes explicitly say the NPC system still needs work: some rooms are not detected correctly and duplicate NPCs can appear. If a room passes the visible checks but behaves inconsistently, this can be a current-build bug rather than your layout.
