Do NPCs affect spawn rate in Terraria?

Yes, friendly NPCs significantly reduce enemy spawn rates in Terraria, with the effect increasing with more NPCs nearby, up to three; three or more NPCs can completely stop enemy spawns in an area, though this doesn't affect event spawns like Slime Rain or critters. This spawn reduction happens in a large box (240x135 tiles) around the player, but you can use items like Shadow Candles or Water Candles (for increased spawns) or strategic NPC placement (like near pylons) to manage it.
