Solved [HELP] I thought no NPCs walked in the Desert?

[Maw]

I've had all these kegs out in the desert for a looooong time, but now a bunch of them have vanished, as if an NPC is walking around out there? Did Sandy go to the Fair or something?
There are kegs missing along the bottom and up the side, and also diagonally over towards the Desert Trader.

Emily visits Sandy on her birthday and they walk around a lot. It's new since 1.5

 

[imnvs]

Prior to 1.5 you would be correct, but as Ereo said, Emily goes out there once a year now in 1.5. You could check the wiki for pathing in that area and rearrange to accommodate for that. There is still a LOT of the desert there that they don't touch at all.

Thanks. At least they didn't mess with my jade crystallariums!
