Tropical counting tools are useful for many enumerative questions. We count tropical multinodal surfaces using floor plans, looking at the case when two nodes are tropically close together, i.e., unseparated. We generalize tropical floor plans to recover the count of multinodal curves. We then prove that for δ=2 or $3$ nodes, tropical surfaces with unseparated nodes contribute asymptotically to the second order term of the polynomial giving the degree of the family of complex projective surfaces in ℙ³ of degree d with δ nodes. We classify when two nodes in a surface tropicalize to a vertex dual to a polytope with 6 lattice points, and prove that this only happens for projective degree d surfaces satisfying point conditions in Mikhalkin position when d>4.
