So with Game Maker when you do Physics objects, the standard collision system doesn't work very well, you're meant to let the physics system do it.
But for example if you want earn points when a collision happens, you need something else.
The collision event!
What I couldn't figure out was how to get the actual object that collided from this. I just needed to use "other".
As soon as a collision occurs "other" is set to it's id!
Boom. Done!
1Yup, looks like going to The Underground and going to The Caves all works right! NPC's get left behind when you go to the Caves, as intended, but they get paused so I might want to remake the Caves like the Underground so they can keep active.
More pixel art! This is of my friend Luka! 
They're a bartender now 
Happy Video Game Day! 🎮
Celebrate by completing our quests!
(They'll be in your quest log until September 19th.)
OK! Think it's all working?
All of this is the same map, I just cull the Island Surface when you go to The Underground, and cull the Underground when you go anywhere else.
The Caves are generated when you visit them and are fully RNG.

Been fixing a bunch of NPC bugs I made when I got them to interact with Stairs, I don't think I've got them all yet, but it seems to be all working again.
The second I stopped recording the Goblin on the left teleported off the chair...
