If I recall these used to be called "Rundown Houses". I mean… I'm fine with Klei still adding stuff to the game

I remember very well, it has been changed a few weeks ago, liked the old name better, gave it some mystery.

I believe it's because merm houses are one of the entities that Wagstaff's nearsightedness can mistake faraway entities for, and this caused crashes in Hmlaet worlds, because merm houses are named "Rundown House" in RoG and "Merm Hut" in SW, but there's no name for them in Hmlaet.

I checked the wiki, some anon say he see it as merm house in vanilla since October.

Every character see it as merm house actually.

Edit: checked the game files, yes it’s merm house.
