Safe Distance?

[Cannar]

Can someone tell me a safe distance from the center of town that would be safe to build a workshop? Or do the NPCs keep expanding out endlessly? Distance in blocks please.

Most villages have a radius of about 70 blocks. You can check their village sign to see the boundaries of the village.

For some cultures/villages, you may need to go beyond 70 radius. If you're outside a hamlet, it's pretty small with few buildings so you can build pretty close to the edge. If you're outside a japanese village like the religious one for example, you're gonna have to push the radius limit up so leave plenty of space.
