![]() ![]() One thing to do is to keep running the search, looking for even better arrangements than what I’ve got so far. (I’m happy to share the code if anyone’s interested.) Future Directions Preferences and housing assignments were represented using matrices, so that I could use Numpy to do the scoring faster. (Essentially, I’m minimising the geometric mean, not the arithmetic mean.) Everything was programmed in Python. I defined ‘optimal’ in this case as the lowest total percentage happiness modifier across all NPCs, calculated by multiplying the modifiers from the wiki together. It doesn’t guarantee that the solution is the best possible, but it’s done a pretty good job, as far as I can tell. So I went and taught myself simulated annealing, a method of searching for optimal solutions in reasonable amounts of time. Even if I could check each one in a nanosecond, it’d take a year and a half to check them all. ![]() Given those conditions, we’ve narrowed down the number of arrangements to ‘only’ 46 million billion for the first case (three to a biome). That’s less an assumption and more a requirement, although for all I know there are ways and means to get him to live elsewhere. The Truffle has to go in the Mushroom biome.Since having three NPCs in close proximity is happiness-neutral, but having two is a positive, I also looked at having up to four NPCs per biome, split into well-spaced households of up to two each.There may be benefits to crowding some NPCs and giving others more room, but that won’t be explored here. With twenty- four NPCs in eight biomes, my first approach was to put three NPCs in each biome.(However, I will be sticking to eight ‘towns’ with a pylon each, so the Universal Pylon is not accounted for.) This is essentially a late-game guide for when you have all the NPCs early-game housing arrangements are out of scope. Every other NPC will be included, spread across all biomes.If you want to optimise his happiness, stick him in the snow and keep the Tax Collector far away for the weeks Santa’s around. That’s a few too many to search through, so I made a few assumptions. With twenty-five town NPCs to house, and eight biomes that affect their happiness, there are almost 38 thousand billion billion possible combinations. Here are the price modifiers from biome and neighbour selection and the lack of crowding, with and (without) rounding to the nearest 5%.
