[tawdry bobcat]

the main attraction of my soloworld, entirely survival

[rare sequoia]

can I?

[rare sequoia]

test~

[opaque badge]

Raven Town still in Prozess !

[vernal wedge]

This is a house i have been working on in survival on a world with my friends, i found the perfect rocks and made it underground ^-^ it is still WIP but i am very proud of it so far and wanted to share (we used 1 mod to allow us to dig deeper into the ground)

[burnt stirrup]

That is fantastic. So this is some big rock you dug out I assume?

[vernal wedge]

Yup its 2 big rocks right next to eachother and a copper vein just barely connecting to the big rocks aswel

Was a lucky find

Ill do another post of it when its fully finished

[little current]

Fantastic build dude, amazing stuff

[burnt stirrup]

Building a "storage" tower I suppose. Windmill will be at the top.

[true ermine]

cool asf, how much stone used tho?!

[tawdry bobcat]

Many many thousand

[raven wagon]

Valheim goes 'Silent Hill' when fog and time of day line up correctly.

[carmine abyss]

Many thanks my Dude

[tawdry bobcat]

need to kill the elder soon

[viral nexus]

Made some progress on the keep of the castle, the spiral stairs are fully surrounded with stone and walks pretty smoothly on the outside edge. And the last tower insides are a few beds for "kitchen staff" and storage.

#memes-and-clips message

[viral nexus]

Finished building the keep, and connected the armoury tower to the top of the keep with a little sky bridge, and got the bed and bath set up as well. Used dark wood beams to cover up the iron wood for the ceilings. Just need to finish decorating and do the garden beside the kitchen, and maybe a separate bath house as well in the back.

[burnt stirrup]

Finished the tower yesterday.

Definitely ended up well, the roof makes it so much better though.

[onyx bay]

from back

[viral nexus]

Finished off the kitchen with a meadery, and added a windmill and beehives to the garden.

Finished off decorations in/around the keep, and made a grand-ish entrance for the castle. Nothing too fancy.

My other free builds in this world, a floating Hags Cabin, a Tower, Mount Castellon, Hildirs Longhouse

And last but not least, my Hall of Odin, and my Dvergr Castle and Portalhub that connects them all.

[fluid verge]

Small mountain castle

[stable junco]

This is the most complex base I have built so far.

Trying to make one more complex then this.

[shut stratus]

Nice base, but floor(you can play with patterns of stone floor here) and port(u can add some wood here) looks boring for me

[nova walrus]

I would've preferred to post it here, but mods, so... #mods-screenshots message

[safe raven]

Simple island base up & running 🎉

[river wraith]

Cute little table for two :>

[mossy lynx]

Working on a docking bay for my home

[ornate galleon]

Finally, a home in the plains, decorated. Now i maybe start doing the stuff to actually progress.

[oak gate]

inspired by yt videos, but added smth mine into it

[safe fulcrum]

made a garden shrine on a tiny swamp patch between black forest and plains.. with a few spawned bushes and yggatrees 😀

[jade lichen]

@oak gate @ornate galleon Both these builds inspired me and gave me an idea on how to build my dinning hall/mead hall. Great job guys.

[ornate galleon]

[low flax]

WIP 100% survival kingdom, its rough around the corners and got lots of unfinished builds, but its been coming along over the years

one closer shot of the castle

the house on the right with the thatch roof was the first and one time only house upon the hill before everything else

the latest addition to everything was this forge I designed yesterday after me and a friend beat moder

[viral nexus]

Very quaint, i like it

[low flax]

the amount of interior design throughout the build, would flood the channel so I aint even gonna bother, theres a reason its still so unfinished after the years ive played valheim :p, I am excited to start my next build in the Plains, but I been so obsessed with "finishing" this one

[viral nexus]

That's why i started doing "free builds" in hammermode (previously would use console commands) when i want to really build something. I get too obsessed with the building and ignore the other parts of the game lol

[low flax]

(the biggest obstacle being that Im trying to follow some sort of realism and add every facility an actual castle/kingdomy thing would have in medieval times)

[low flax]

yeah we only beat Moder yesterday and Ive built all of this, never been to mistlands

[sacred sluice]

my latest build: the Dawn Hill Retreat

[low flax]

I love that tree courtyard thingy

are the pink trees even vanilla?

[viral nexus]

The mists are different for sure, you'll love them

[sacred sluice]

no, these trees are coming with a mod called "saisonality".
the trees get pink in spring, look normal in summer, get red in authum and white in winter. 😉

[low flax]

I bet, the exciting thing when doing more of the game is being all woah when unlocking stuff and wanting to go back and build and upgrade the kingdom

[viral nexus]

That's pretty rad

[low flax]

ok one obligatory post of the great hall in the castle

I think my biggest excitement with starting a new build is being able to put in tons of effort and fine polishing into a single house like how @sacred sluice posted above, with this kingdom its such a macro scale project (even tho i design interiors)

[sacred sluice]

it all starts with 1 house 😉
i ended once with a hole lagoon in mistland

[low flax]

looks nice at a glance, I wont zoom in cuz I scared of any mistlands spoilers xd

[sacred sluice]

great idea to put a stone floor under the forge!
looks realy like a medival forge hut! 👍

[sacred sluice]

hahaha, i see!
you will love and hate mistland at the same time!
so did i the first time i entered it 😉

[burnt stirrup]

that is a lot of stone. hard work

[upbeat glen]

how did you get the fish to hang like that?

[rough crow]

aww heck yea this is dope do you have a picture of the interiors?

[stray current]

Are the trees mods? I’m just about to beat bonemass in in love with this game

[hard ridge]

yes

[stable junco]

I built a pyramid now.

[sacred sluice]

It comes with a mod called OdinShip by OdinPlus

[steep copper]

intersting consequence of the construction: From above it is a perfect grid of diamonds

potentially one of the "warring castles" Im thinking of building in the area on either side of my suspension bridge. Maybe with the theme being "a battle frozen in time" would be very fun if I could simulate explosions and fire stopped in time, like the end of HL2

[pliant hare]

More variations of the "best window" I put in tips. Not all are good, but I wanted a pic to compare all offsets.

[tawdry bobcat]

how much eitr is that spent on gear? 😂

[narrow prawn]

the council of mages would never divulge their secrets xD

[tawdry bobcat]

880 if theyre wearing pants lol

[narrow prawn]

they are

the lean to's in the top left shot are an original feature, i added a little fishing dock

[tawdry bobcat]

looks very nice though

[narrow prawn]

my own slice of valhalla xD

[cyan tapir]

Awesome build

[tawdry bobcat]

ah, my old kitchen

[steep copper]

These are sick!

[cyan tapir]

Bottom right really pulls it all together. For me.

[tawdry bobcat]

sink and towel 😄

[cyan tapir]

Yea. That bit sold it. I know it's a classic tech. But the wooden long shields work perfectly as counter top accessories

[tawdry bobcat]

it took so long getting that knife to perfectly lay on top of the shield, not too high or too low

[cyan tapir]

Ha I know that struggle. Such a finicky profile

[burnt stirrup]

Was not mean tto be like this, was meant to be properly curved. But oh well, it is really hard building in deep water especially when you want a curved build and need a lot of support

the stairs on the right are extremely useful if you fall in which you eventually will, the main stairs are for the ship

base is still wip

i wonder the use of those stairs in the real life, those on the right, cause they always seem to exist on docks

These winding stairs are really nice

[lunar drift]

illuminati dinner

[cyan tapir]

A secret portal entrance

[near comet]

long hard work in perspective... 👽

[near comet]

i don't get how you go from screenshot 2 to 3, i guess it's well hidden 😅

[cyan tapir]

It's a chair you use to clip through wall

Look at bottom of wall. Armor stand is pointing at the revealed bit of chair

[near comet]

oh yeah, now you say it ^^ reminds me of when I hid chests in multiplayer maps, with only 1 pixel sticking out of the land

[near comet]

litteral first screenshot containing 4x2 walls ?

[viral nexus]

Lol no, to show someone else a hexagon

[viral nexus]

An old draugr village i used as a base in a previous survival playthrough.

[cyan tapir]

Sick village. Are all drauger villages coastal? I like that there's usually a good amount of structures

[steep copper]

Massive Trebuchet

[viral nexus]

Idk that they're all coastal, but this one was a small one, only 3 structures but plenty for what i needed, and built my own portalhub. I've come across some not very close to a coast and much larger that i thought about using, but it was a lot more than i needed. This one i found on the coast was perfect for my 2nd survival world.

[viral nexus]

Looking sweet

[wheat shale]

No, not all

[dusty monolith]

Hello everyone! Here are some screenshots from my current build that i've been playing on for a good while now, i only have The Queen left to kill and i'm taking my sweet time trying to perfect my village.

Hope you like it!

[woeful pumice]

😼

small bathroom 😸

the tower has many floors and many ideas for them 😼 👍

[pliant hare]

Just a lill roof

[pliant hare]

I can't decide if this is better or worse, it removed some ugly edges, but also lessened the flower pattern

[atomic musk]

I like the 2nd one better.

[near comet]

can't very tell the differences, i guess it's better to save instances 😅

[plain herald]

multi stories round storage

underground safe, built under a rock

[woeful pumice]

@plain heraldbut the chests can be turned to the narrow side, so you can fit more 😼

like this 👍

[tawdry bobcat]

I have circular this way, i can post images later

[woeful pumice]

😼 👍

I believe that the speed of access to chests and the minimum space taken up is the most functional

idea for the throne 😸

[cyan tapir]

Secure storage: "Kept under rock and key"

What's the monthly rental on a place like this. Lol

[heavy fable]

this is my throne P.S. i forgot the key wich hids the hood 🙂

[burnt stirrup]

i like to build around rocks, i wish you could build caves in valheim but it seems that would probably require a big rehaul and would change game mechanics a lot.

[cyan tapir]

I would love proper cave building. The large rocks are suffice. Of course picking away at the rock has its own complications. Sections that run vertical blowing out leaving holes

[pliant hare]

Alternative open air design.

[tawdry bobcat]

My storage, as promised(looks better ingame), it's inside the big building in this image: #building-screenshots message

My kitchen is on the floor above #building-screenshots message

here's an overview of how big my base is(yellow area still needs to have stuff added to it)

[hard ridge]

How fancy, storing your stones in chests. Meanwhile I'm just stacking them outside, you can stack up unlimited numbers in one spot (could be a bug )

[wise snow]

WIP house, 1.5x resources on a survival server

Floors

Also WIP gatehouse for our village walls:

Also inside of the tower:

[steep copper]

Chain Suspension bridge with yggdrasil motif. Made of only 2 unique building pieces

[wooden jackal]

Custom dungeon entrance, hidden traps, fake back panel wall leading to portal, hidden chests, Custom enviroment 🙂 Located in the Black Forest

[pliant hare]

I've done windows and a roof. So here's a quick chandelier. Was kinda limited, because I wanted it fuel/smokeless, but it turned out fine.

[hard ridge]

looks great! a year ago I made a "suspension bridge" like that, but without any fancy mod, so it's feasible in vanilla

[steep copper]

Great work considering the limitations!

[narrow pecan]

Thanks to whoever it was that posted the idea of doing fort boyard! this was a fun build

[lapis sky]

Is it possible to see this chandelier from afar, integrated into the decor if you wish, please?

[viral nexus]

Current normal survival, getting ready to face moder then move to the plains for my real base

[cloud thicket]

My new main base on my coop survival world

side view

[steep copper]

very nice!

[steep copper]

Updated Scale model map, now with blue oceans instead of brown!

[viral nexus]

That's a lot of jute lol

[hard ridge]

Build a scale model map in game with no-map challenge

[cyan tapir]

No-map is truly next level play

[plain herald]

Who needs a map when you can zoom out this much! 😂

[candid gale]

Looks like Finland to me

[hard ridge]

finland mentioned, torilla tavataan! (i know english only sry)

[candid gale]

A fellow Finn?

[severe hawk]

Long way up

[echo trellis]

need ideas for storage, all my items are scattered around my base in chests and carts..

[tawdry bobcat]

@echo trellis like this?

[echo trellis]

that looks really cool! How is it like from the outside?

[tawdry bobcat]

Its a small part of one of the floors in this building @echo trellis

[echo trellis]

holy 😳

[steep copper]

It just happens to be shaped that way in my world 🙂

[vestal whale]

Really happy with how the centerpiece of this main room came together. A lot of very careful snapping.

[narrow pecan]

@echo trellis here's my current world's storage house+

stock pile for bulk building mats, "dump" aka "to be sorted" area / utility annex, hardware corner, granular storage for seldom-used mats

upstairs is mostly unused at the moment, has some reinforced chests for trophies, old gear, a mini portal hub, and a couple of guest rooms

exterior shots of front and sides. it's gone through a few iterations of being remodeled and added onto etc.

[high vigil]

I want share my building

[lapis sky]

Nothing fancy, just my first ever build

[raven wagon]

If that roof is all dark wood, it's not going to keep out the rain, unless you're in the mountains, then it's less of an issue. The regular angled beams however do, for whatever reason, keep out rain if overlap is close enough. Even if you were to switch them over, I don't think you'd have 100% coverage.
This is the first 'non-spiraled' design that's around 90% effective that I've been able to make.

[sharp halo]

What do yall think? Still not done yet

Shows the size alittle better

[dense shuttle]

Y'all make my builds look like child's play but hey, who cares? Gonna post other stuff later, trying to keep the screenshots grouped by build. This is a ruined village I reclaimed and rebuilt. Name of the tavern comes from the copper deposit that was there (kept the last bit intact under where the "tower" now stands to justify the name, lol)

[wise snow]

WIP of our server's Borgund Stave Church. I caved in and downloaded Gizmo for angling pieces.... Still a survival server, but I don't think I can go back to not having Gizmo.

[wise snow]

I've worked really hard to get the proportions as close as possible as well

[dense shuttle]

Very old build but I'm quite proud of how it turned out, particularly the gate with the dragon head

[fiery bluff]

Burnfast city

[lapis sky]

Burnfast wasn't built in a day.. to burnfast. Like the name

[jade lichen]

what does everyone think is a good height for a dedicated storage room and dedicated portal room

[dense shuttle]

Today is Castel G[***]s, name censored because it's the name of my home IRL and i don't wanna dox myself, lol

[tame vale]

Built this yesterday, got inspiration for a Water Temple. This is my first decorative heavy build so i hope its not too bad😅 . Mods used to build it: OdinArchitect (huge columns, roof and the ceiling), Infinity Build (disables building physics-basically like in minecraft) and Rune Magic (runes that repell water, helped to make a pletau for the columns to stand on). I actually really enjoyed building this, very peaceful :D

[visual quest]

#suggestion-discussion message

[hard ridge]

Wow! Did you build it in survival or creative ? And how long did it take?

[mossy lynx]

Starting a swamp tower, on a bit of meadow on the shore. Basement first 🙂

[hard ridge]

the dungeon

[mossy lynx]

Planning on a spooky keep. We will see

[tough crag]

Ive always wanted a swamp base, but constant wet and jumping blobs scare me xD

[atomic musk]

Fires everywhere and make a tree house in the indestructible trees.

[mossy lynx]

Also I’m building on a meadows outcrop, and raised earth walls taller than blobs can jump

Wraiths are the only thing that can get to me

[jade lichen]

@tawdry bobcat mind dming me the screenshots of your base ?

[tawdry bobcat]

My entire base?

[hard ridge]

yes, put it on an Imgur album and pin it to this channel 👀

[tawdry bobcat]

I dont have time to take pics of that

I only have an hour and a half before work

[atomic musk]

I don't think its a I need it now kinda thing but rather, when you can get to it could you please give us some pics of your base.

[tawdry bobcat]

for the record, i am off work tomorrow and the weekend, so if anyone wants a tour, let me know. i swear it looks better in game 😂

[mossy lynx]

It always looks better in game

[narrow prawn]

underwater terraforming pretty much where i want it for now, so i decided to make a thing

[lapis sky]

What is the average depth if this pond/lake? Can you stand there or swim only?

[narrow prawn]

roughly between 2-6m, swim depth only and lower so the boats don't scrape, also all underwater rocks and logs removed

[lapis sky]

Why not just making some fairway only? It would be much easier to build and maintain? Just for the aesthetics?

[narrow prawn]

huh?

[lapis sky]

i asked 'why bother with making swimming depth all over the place? just for the look of it? or other purposes?'

[narrow prawn]

well most of it was already that deep or deeper, i just removed anything that would catch the boats

would have been 3x the job to bring it all up to be walkable depth

shallowest area was around where the bridge is

[vale echo]

Do most people use mods to do builds like these? I prefer playing vanilla but I'd like to eventually create something like the pictures in this channel. I had been assuming it could be done with stock tools.

[tame vale]

for me its just that i dont like how the pillairs look in vanilla, they are kinda slant. also you cant build that far in the water in base game i think so yeah ig mods are required

[tame vale]

sorry, forgot to tag you

[vale echo]

All good. Thanks!

[ashen crescent]

Seed channel won't let me post a thread, so here ya go:

SEED: 2cbeCz85ip (All bosses, trader, and so forth on starting isle)

[eager epoch]

Dang

[ashen crescent]

If you look down at the bottom, above the eC of the seed name, there's a tiny darkwood island in the bay of the southern isle. It's like a minute trip in any direction to reach 4 biomes, and that mountain to the upper right of that spot has a massive flat peak waiting for a mega castle..

[eager epoch]

Nice

[ashen crescent]

Could do worse for returning to Valheim after 3 years. My main Huntsman character was rendered homeless by the loss of a dedicated server.

[eager epoch]

A build I'm working on

Why did it send like that? (Also sorry about the server)

[hard ridge]

Where's the queen 👑

[ashen crescent]

Not sure, I'm returning after 3 years away so some stuff I don't even know of exists now, and I still have to remember prior whatnots 😛

[lapis sky]

This is sick. That starting island shape and that cove with a trader spawn... oh my god. Epic!

[ashen crescent]

I'm a big fan of bays 🙂

[visual quest]

Ok, I have way too much to share, so I'll fit them into respective posts.

External view of my new viking mansion. My grandest build so far. I am on hammer mode, and I finished this design in (hammer mode) ~30 hours. The final shot is an encircled tree with a shrine to Woden.

Internal views including architecture and decorations. Still a WIP.

#screenshots message
Finally, midst rebuilding my previous design, hammer mode allowed me to upgrade my Portal Hub ™️ with finer materials. Time (in hammer mode): ~1 hour 40 minutes

[viral nexus]

Much cleaner, looks great

[sharp sparrow]

I planned to build a castle on the water, but during construction I realized that the height due to the basement would not be enough : (
Now it will be a cottage with a pier

[neat fog]

Locks amazin

[jade lichen]

Can anyone help me with my layout with this base , I’m a newer builder and looking for ideas on how to set up this for functionality, it’s my main base , the spawner location has 4 smelters and charcoal kilns under it using it like a chiminey and I have a storage and portal room set up , I believe each one of the rectangles is 20x10 squares

[hard ridge]

what spawner?

[dense shuttle]

Snowy day, snowy build! This one was lost to a world save bug from some time ago that thankfully got squashed. it started as a rebuilding of a castle ruin I found and it grew from there. Pics are from various stages of construction. The almost floating platforms worked thanks to an ungodly amount of iron support beams. I never rebuilt it, but maybe someday...

[visual quest]

I have made a similar design, and I'll post some screenshots.
*Oh no, it didn't the reformat of my computer!

[visual quest]

I built mine out of Meadows and Black Forest materials. Firstly, work the land and water to receive struts and foundations that will support the structure. Lay out the shape (I used long Core Wood logs). Use the logs to create the upward boundaries and connect each together to block out the 3D structure.

To fit in the water with structurally sound foundation, continue to use the hoe and the raise earth enough to get the struts to connect with the water's floor. Fill the blocked out sections with your wall of choice, and top them with the roof.

For the boat itself to fit (assuming the Carve), be sure to have enough space. You may even find a semi-dry dock method using downward roof slats as the receptacle, but make it low enough for the boat to easily sail into it and out.

Once all built, you can optionally build two gates between the mouth ends of the (north) edge. This way, it feels more realistic and keeps swimming enemies from reaching your structure from the inside.

Finally, wreathe the dry dock with 26* angle stairs for access out, as the build creates a kind of pit that may be difficult to jump out of without them.

Happy building!

P.S. If you mean your bed (spawner), there should be enough room for that. Your earthbound sides may have to open out to your smelters and kilns, but the portals could very well fit, especially if you take it to a 2nd level. 🙏

[jade lichen]

@visual quest I have the structure built basically exactly as you said I’m looking for help for the interior layout

[visual quest]

I had just woken up when I read, so I apologize for the building infodump!

[jade lichen]

@hard ridge greydwarf

@visual quest I appreciate it anyways lol

[visual quest]

I haven't messed with encapsulating a spawner! Is the plan to get that caged off and have a n infinite greydwarf material source?

[jade lichen]

@visual quest yes, that was the original design around the base ended up taking shape the way it did. Currently I have for smelters and four kilns using that as a chimney and a gray dwarf spawning at the base level of the structure

[visual quest]

That's really cool. I might try that someday. 😄

[jade lichen]

@visual quest just looking for help on how to best set up the inside for astedics and function

[visual quest]

Have you got any screenshots for it?

[jade lichen]

I can in a few mins if you like out could stream out

[visual quest]

Sure I could check it out! Do you have a mic?

[warm talon]

Would it be possible to build a bridge over the river without ironwood?

[jade lichen]

YES

[tawdry bobcat]

yes

[jade lichen]

@visual quest just lmk when you want me to cast it

[tawdry bobcat]

https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/m56en7/tallest_bridge_using_no_iron_cheats_etc/

Damn. That was one hell of a bridge. Thanks for sharing that

[tawdry bobcat]

yeah i made that like 3 years ago 😄

[visual quest]

I'm free now!

[jade lichen]

ok

[visual quest]

In Hugin's

[visual quest]

@jade lichen Thank you for sharing your build! I hope all of those tips and tricks make that structure super secure. Hope you found some decoration inspiration as well. 🙂

Small mountain castle

[wheat quail]

I'm trying to build a huge Castletown, I managed to get the surrounding walls up no problem, but now I'm at a loss for how to make a decent looking castle. Can anyone help?

[narrow prawn]

bit more work done today 🛠️

[woeful pumice]

take a picture of a real castle and build according to the same plan. But do not forget that each ring of castle buildings must rise above the outer ring, that is, the most central building must be tallest 😼 👍

you can try something like this plan, just reinforce the walls with iron bars and you can build high, also raise the ground around the center of the castle as high as possible around the perimeter, this will give the structure a foothold and you will have a wonderful dungeon 😺 @wheat quail

@wheat quail the game allows you to build towers of this height 😼

[narrow prawn]

power grid optimised

[woeful pumice]

why do you need so much? 😸

[narrow prawn]

gotta have all the comforts of home xD

[woeful pumice]

but it doesn't look aesthetically pleasing 😸

[woeful pumice]

@narrow prawnWhat about lamp posts? 😼

[narrow prawn]

usually use them just for street lighting

[woeful pumice]

@narrow prawn

I like to add something non-standard 😸

[narrow prawn]

exactly my thoughts with the waterwheel power station xD

[full sierra]

rainy day at the castle, added a kitchen below the porch

forge on other side of wall with chimney chute between them

[woeful pumice]

@narrow prawn

[full sierra]

other side of castle

[narrow prawn]

interior where the power "cables" come through, and power my indoor industries

that's dinner sorted xD

[wheat quail]

I'm going to try this, thanks for the tips!

[woeful pumice]

door for castle corridors 😼 👍

[full sierra]

howdyou get the ground flat like that?

whenever i level its all lumpy

[woeful pumice]

hoe 😼

[full sierra]

always lumpy when i try lol

[woeful pumice]

@full sierra😸

[full sierra]

i can't get anything flat lol

[woeful pumice]

@wheat quail an earthen wall of this type will serve as the basis for your central residential tower of the castle, below there will be warehouses, quite spacious, with a secret passage from the castle, and at the top there will be living quarters 😼

[woeful pumice]

if you can't level the hole, add dirt from above and remove it with a pick, then use a hoe 😺

base for those who value safety 😹

[cyan tapir]

From this angle I pickup on the beam of energy you're harnessing. With a faraday cage to contain it. Thanks for your creativity

[woeful pumice]

😹 👍

[cyan tapir]

Wait. Are you envisioning the iron bars as conduit!?

[woeful pumice]

it `s Magic 😸

[cyan tapir]

Or a bussing of sorts

[narrow prawn]

it goes right into the artisan table, which then distributes it around the base and outside via (assumed) underfloor/ground wiring

[cyan tapir]

Or wireless like Teslas vision.

I see. I dig it

[narrow prawn]

or "magic" xD

[cyan tapir]

Heh modern day electricity is a bit of magic

[full sierra]

teslas wireless would be dangerous AF trying to power modern devices

u'd be having flash arcs all over the place

[cyan tapir]

It's protecting paths of potential with synthetic lightning I could never see possible

[full sierra]

all it takes is a conductive metal getting too close and it'd arc

[cyan tapir]

Not just that. But magnetic and atmospheric conditions

[full sierra]

might of been ok to powera few light bulbs, try running a bunch of air conditioners tho, gonna have to juice it up to extreme danger levels

[woeful pumice]

Looking for a new group of builders to make a project with, vanilla and dedicated pls

[jade island]

Think this is too high to snipe Yagluth from? Would he despawn?

annnnnnd I broke the attachment. here it is again lol

[tawdry bobcat]

bosses dont despawn, but do you know what yagluth does?

[jade island]

Yeah yeah, meteors. I plan on building a platform between all the spires and running across them 😄

[tawdry bobcat]

ok

[jade island]

is that a "you dead" ok or a "this might work" ok

that's a "you dead" silence 😂

imma build an iron wood and stone platform anyways, screenshots and tears to follow 😛

[viral nexus]

Good luck!

[plain herald]

Very cool! To add even more safety, you can block the entrance and make a portal only access. 😂

[jade island]

work in progress (staircase is scaffolding)

[hard ridge]

Last time I took on Yagluth, was in hardcore mode, he wiped out all the spires

[jade island]

Absolute cinema

[eager epoch]

I may be able to help. I don't use creative, And I am not REALLY REALLY good, But I still have a good bit of experiance and am willing to help.

[shut stratus]

But u can do like this above one to two bonfires and u don't need that much space, so u can place this in your house

[lime dock]

true, just tryin to be creative, got 2 chests full of wood, i should got beaten the boss but, what i do now is just building for fun lol

[shut stratus]

U can capture the spawner to get infinity free wood

And do more complicated things without tone of farming

[lime dock]

wdym by that

like those mini guys spawner?

[shut stratus]

Yeah

And u can build easily smth like that

[lime dock]

damn u are creative

[shut stratus]

I prefer this compact variant https://youtu.be/hcX1XG99f74?si=9HlVrhvo5nlaowhe

[lime dock]

imma try tmrw, ik spawn of em, but i must dig a bigg hole under that spawn to get a little safehouse farmer

it can be hard for me, cuz they spawn fast, big guys too

[shut stratus]

U can find also examples with fugu and wolves or dark magic

[shut stratus]

They won't spawn if there is no ground open

[lime dock]

so i need to block em with walls n thats it

[shut stratus]

U can use smth like wooden floor to block their spawn, just cover above it

[shut stratus]

But if u gonna do this you should keep the drops in the chests, or you ll get a bit lags, or u can use obliterator

[lime dock]

im watching that vid rn

[shut stratus]

I think it is the best option cuz stone bonfires(u can find in some videos) will be easily destroyed by mobs, but bronze will never broke(if u play on normal difficult) and this kind of spawner abusing doesn't require so much space as the other ones

Actually u can abuse any of the spawners, except skeleton one(bones now is useless)

If u need to easily upgrade dark magic skill u can also abuse spawners and just go afk

I think their only usage for game is to give the player as many resources as they want, and increase skills like shield one and dark magic one by being in afk

[lime dock]

im just gonna try with bonfire

n do more simple, dig a hole
place a wall so they cant attack me, 3 or 4 bonfires down

then its just mini safehouse stuff, chests etc

cuz im not in bronze age rn, so yeah, more simple

[viral nexus]

Love that bridge

[jade lichen]

anyone got any Screenshots of a consolidated base layout ?

[cyan tapir]

Define consolidated. Compact and efficient base design?

[jade lichen]

yes most stuff in a neat consolidated space (least amount ) for like a complete crafting room and such

[cyan tapir]

I manage to stuff nearly everything (minus windmills) in a 11x11 footprint. All essentials under one roof. Neatly placed inside of stone circle

[jade lichen]

for instance here is the front and back of a chiminey setup im working on for all the smoke crafters

With a monsterspawner incorperated in the middle

[pliant hare]

You can put most upgrade structures inside your walls. This room is a first draft, but it contains fully upgraded forge, workbench, cauldrons and black forge, in addition to a iron cooking station and the furnaces.

[cyan tapir]

In the walls or in the ground.

[lapis sky]

I like microhouse challenges, and i saw couple of mind blowing examples of how you can have almost everything on an area under 100 sq m or such

[jade lichen]

you got any pics ? im super interested

[lapis sky]

It wasn't made by me, so idk, try to find smth

this one is a late game black marble house, but smth like this

[cyan tapir]

This is awesome

[vestal whale]

A shot of the main "work" area of my current survival base. Crafting stations are just out of frame to the left. Living area is upstairs above the hearth.

The floor took a lot of very careful snapping voodoo.

[cyan tapir]

Looks good. You built this at a stone circle?

[vestal whale]

Yeah, they were the original supports for the corewood frame this started as back in the early game. It used to be entirely supported by them, like a treehouse.

[cyan tapir]

Well played. Favorite spot to build

[misty fractal]

Finally got this window the way I wanted it

Now I can't decide which is better

Inside view

if you ever get a chance to visit some of them, take a look up in the rafters -- there is almost always a secret Odin carved into one of the beams... they were forced into christianity, but always worshipped the old gods

[hard ridge]

Living up to his name 😛

[reef surge]

Big fan of the layout! Although I'd recommend you to take a look at masonry and take some real walls for reference. Built three quick examples for you.

First example doesn't require you to let go of the snapping function, whereas the later two require you to do so. You can also texture your stone by damaging it.

Obiously, that's kinda hard for round walls.

I love myself some structural 'tegrity

[hallow epoch]

To much trouble with such wall's like you show:

1. Pain in ass to repair it.
2. Smaller structure pieces = more instances
3. That kind of design not appropriate to that place 😅
   But i rly apricate for you recommendation 😉

[wheat quail]

Oh wow, I love this!

[stark badge]

Thoughts on this lootwall layout?

[frosty birch]

Basic rule is that support is based on the number of connections away from "ground" (blue) level support, and the type of material used. You probably need a central pillar or something of iron wood in some of those walls to provide the level of support you need.

[viral nexus]

What color is that on your signs?

[stark badge]

#00FFFF

[half rune]

LOVE THAT STATUE!

[jade lichen]

Hide wood iron poles as supports behind some other block in the design, they allow you to build up to 21 blocks or something crazy like that.

So for example, build wood iron poles as a frame for the house, then build on top of them normal wooden supports or stonesupports, assuming you don't like the look of wood iron poles/want to hide them behind some other block. You could also just leave them exposed if you like the look

[karmic edge]

uhm.. the fire is leaking through the bottom of the hearth..

[grizzled wagon]

Wow this is amazing, i love it!!!

[vale peak]

what do you guys think of this viking themed altar i builded

from the outside

[hard ridge]

It's nice but kinda basic isn't it? nothing exciting going on. The walls are bare, not even a tiny window, and the torches are a bit meh . I guess you can't do much about it until you get your hands on better lighting options 💡

[north path]

As a person who used one every day I'd say 5/10

[pliant hare]

Eh, fair. Although I'm curious if you have a better design, or just ideas on how to design one.

Tbh I'm not even sure what they should look like. The typical stone barrel that shows on google images is clearly a modern design, and also something I've never come across in Finland.

Mine basicly has the shape of a larger electric stove, but stone instead of metal.

[north path]

Same mine is an electric box with stones

Who knows the feeling of being in a state where you know a building is good, but you can't shake the feeling that something is missing?
That's how I felt for the past 3 weeks.
Today I can say: the Dawn Hill Retreat is finally complete.
Version 2 now has all workstations and the kitchen at max level, enough chests to store all the stuff, and a lavishly set feast table.
Furthermore, I played around with the Fire-Spread mod a bit and made some elements black.

Grand Circular Portal Hub build redone in Darkwood with rest area centered in the middle. This was a build I took from youtube so I'm not taking credit on the original design yet it looked good enough to share 😛

[reef surge]

The pain, realising your floor design is off centered

[safe fulcrum]

remodeled my spa.

[hallow epoch]

good idea - but i guess will be useful to put under those carpets, wooden floor, it will remove that problem with open spots

[reef surge]

already fixed it - what would you use wooden floors for though?

[hallow epoch]

hide those open spots - where you can see thru the carpets, black marble floor

[reef surge]

ah that part... also fixed already but used marble instead. It was regular stone before (the smooth ones), which clipped through.

also altered the design a little

[reef surge]

obviously, that round spot in the middle is for kneeling

[plain bough]

I am cooking something up but god if it isnt gonna take way to much stone

i needa go get geared up for the plains to get some mass mining out of the way but ive intelligently wasted almost 200 iron on building before making iron gear

[viral nexus]

I just wanna know how many times you've died on that mountain with no iron gear lol that's a whole tier below the silver gear you want to have before going to plains.

[tepid cave]

I was immediately suspicious of your pic

[plain bough]

its a small mountain with a lot of spawn proofing, im used to playing on very hard difficulty where being one shot in the best gear is basically the standard so i havent bothered to upgrade yet. but yes ive had a fair few deaths mostly to wolves sneaking up on me.

[viral nexus]

I can imagine, when i first started playing i built a small base at the foot of a mountain and was just chopping wood in the meadows and suddenly a wolf came down and killed me and then more or less destroyed all my base items, I had to use eikthyr and my death run to get away and sneak back to grab everything and gtfo.

[plain bough]

this run i tamed a pair of wolves before killing eikthyr fun how different first few hours vs several hundred hours in are

nothing is cooler than summoning the elder just for him to be mauled to death in mere seconds

[viral nexus]

Haha very true

[plain bough]

main thing helping me build is mods that expand the stack sizes and carry weight of items, man that was insufferable in my first run of the game

im probably 4000 stone deep at this point

dunno what to do with this lower area, not big enough for a building

[viral nexus]

A gondola maybe? Or maybe a pergola

[plain bough]

maybe, i might just leave it for the time being and building something there when i have a idea of what would make sense

that or maybe just make it a viewing platform since i plan on building quite a bit in that lower region

Its nice and cozy base inside frost cave.

[frigid yarrow]

This is my main base for my solo run lol am heading into mountains age, been wanting to build a bigger base to accomedate all the station but idk where to begin or what style of the base i want so ig i will stick with this for now, many of the styish build piece dont unlock till plains anyways

[frigid yarrow]

This was originally a copper deposit with a ruined stone structure no roof there, at the start i just put my work bench and a roof over it for rested and storing the metals but then i figured why dont i just smelt the metal as i am mining out the copper deposit and slowly it turned to whatever this is lmao

[cyan sierra]

Windows were easier to install than I thought they would be.

[pastel sorrel]

Is this in vanilla or moddedm

[viral nexus]

This page is supposed to be for vanilla, #mods-screenshots for modded buildings, but citans build looks quite vanilla to me if that's what you were asking

[dull badge]

Obviusly not a working mill.
But i got inspired.

This type with the horizontal blades for the water wheel is called a Skvaltkvarn (Kvarn beeing Mill) in Swedish.
They were typically used in small streams or on the side of bigger rivers and without damming.
Normally used in spring on the spring flood when the water was a bit higher or during autumn when the rains come.
Smallscale homesteading needs.

Might fit you needs if anyone just want something that looks like a mill for your base 🙂
Timber cabin because Sweden.
Used the big round marble pillar for a millstone. Stacking two didn´t look good imo. but you do you.
Chest for your grain and a log to sit and wait for the flour to grind and enjoy some spring sun 🙂

Pretty proud of it. No mods, survival, no cheating. What do you think of it? If u want to see the interior, ask and then I'll do some ss

[inner quail]

interior pls, need ideas xd

[cyan sierra]

I like the custom wall, like a lot. Also impressive scale.

[manic mauve]

Very nice, how many hours?

[thorn cliff]

I have total of 342 h, but on this world I have lie 530 days, so dont know the exact number

So here is the front of the base, general entrance, lox pen, farming area, cozy little area to chill and the stairs down to the chickencoop

After the entrance, there are my armor sets, the kitchen with the connection to the cozy area outside, storage room. At the end I got 4 ways, to left is the sleeping area, forward is the great hall and to the right the forge and crafting

Here is the smelting and worplace area. I personally love that my magic room I had in mind while doing the build, everything has it's place

And to the great hall, I chose to make it the display of the base, It has great view outside, small corridor leading to the black marble portal hub ( The giant thing ), on the outside there is my favourite build - the lantern with the build-in fish pond. On to the sleeping area, it's just simple for me, maybe will upragde it after the ashlands. The outside is a farming ground and more view to the second entrance and portal hub

On to the backyard, as I said, the lighthouse is my favourite, everything is connected with the hub via the shore route.

Here is some hard mined marble portal hub, general tip for the name tags - use <#FF9900> for the portal like orange

[thorn cliff]

And on to the last - the port! Here are mine boar and wolf pens, and the boat station, I had some trouble doing it but I think it came out nicely! The last building is the chickencoop, the empty area behind it is where is envison the ashlands build. Thanks for watching, reading or both! I hope you got some inspiration although I don't think I am much of a good builder

The first capital city I build

[lethal phoenix]

Headed into the Mistlands, needed a proper wizard hut for our homestead

[mortal dune]

Progress of the dvergr kingdom: first watchtower.

[gentle crater]

Tower base will be in the front.

[clever venture]

Cheeky Pre-mountain fort

[tidal breach]

Odin's Pantheon.
Serves as a portal hub, Map room and soon a place to hang all the boss trophies.

[cyan sierra]

I just realized I've never shown the back of my new house. Almost done with the interior, btw.

[woeful pumice]

Maybe it would be better without bars on the windows? 😺

[viral nexus]

I like the paned look of it myself

[pliant hare]

This side is waay better lol

Or maybe I just missed the latest update of the front

[high iris]

new house

[stiff idol]

It's pretty.

[upbeat axle]

@wise hawk

[hallow tiger]

My port

[sturdy yarrow]

Kinda winged going for a boat unloading thingy, turned out a little bulky but still decent, any tips on improving are welcome :)

Dunno what else I would use for the rope other then core logs

[alpine terrace]

my first house in the plains biome

[red locust]

love the basically daily updates on the progress :)

[stiff idol]

First "big" build. Not done yet.

[clever venture]

Big fancy houses are nice, but what about a good ol' fashioned R O A D

[mortal dune]

First of several dvergr towers completed, based on the original designs.

[tropic maple]

a small entrance I made, pretty proud of it

[hallow epoch]

btw ty for idea - i long time have thought about making some kind of such circle, around a fire for relax

[ionic perch]

https://www.xbox.com/play/media/pXs9RpzJZB

My bar

[split forum]

This is awesome. Can you post a little more screenshots?

[viral nexus]

The staircase is pretty awesome

[hard ridge]

I made a mistake. I thought using iron cages would be a good idea, it just looks worse. I'm just trying to give some texture to the wall and building core wood wall is such a pain in the ass.. but using iron cages isnt any better since it costs so much iron lol. What do you guys think?

In game the one with iron cages looks worse than in the screenshot like when you move around

[viral nexus]

I'd go with the core wood walls, looks so much better in general

[hard ridge]

true

[rancid ginkgo]

Are those armor stand fences?

[hard ridge]

yyea, half buried

[rancid ginkgo]

I need to try that in some of my builds it looks nice.

[hard ridge]

also thank god i made a save before deleting half of the core wall, I never want to go through the pain of placing so many doors again just to build a wall lol

[rancid ginkgo]

They really need snapping points on vertical logs it makes things so much harder without it

[narrow prawn]

too expensive and doesn't look as good as the corewood

[stiff idol]

Tasty mead. Shaken, not stirred.

[feral forge]

Some wip

[stone quiver]

Just finished building / terraforming and work on the farm for my fort. Yes it has a anti troll ditch and I use the mod plant everything to do that on my hardcore run with some friends. I thought of sharing this work art.

[hallow epoch]

oh nice - using armor stands like a fence 🙂

[gusty cradle]

A PvP Ice Arena I made on Jotunheim.

[hard ridge]

It's not much, only cost around 700 iron nails and twice that amount of fine wood 🥲

[hearty mulch]

did you build it in vanilla?

[hard ridge]

of course

[hallow epoch]

i'm not talking about cost - just entire idea=)

[faint kindle]

Just clear the crypt and disturb the birches a little)

[hard ridge]

currently in the process of building a slaughterhouse next to it
Bet nobody can guess what's inside the slaughterhouse :P

[hard ridge]

draugrs
this was their village

[frosty birch]

The door is open... I'm guessing there's nothing in there, they've all escaped 😛

[clever venture]

My skycastle I did a while back, figured I'd post it

[lavish agate]

dreidel, dreidel, dreidel...

[stiff idol]

Oh tell me why
Do we build castles in the sky

[dull badge]

Tried my hand at a temple style build.
Early morning light.

[hard ridge]

sausage factory

[hard ridge]

Oh, they're in there. I've confined them in a cage, it's quite a humane slaughterhouse, see:

[wheat shale]

Very clever

[narrow prawn]

slightly too high if they are still aggroing in there

another layer of iron beams beneath the one there should fix that

[mortal dune]

Time to build a wall. This is gonna take a while...

[hard ridge]

Doesn't matter, they aggro every time they spawn because I buried the body pile underground, so they come out with half their body in the ground and they spot me before they pop back up 😕

[clever venture]

A simple build for sure, but made a watchtower for my current playthrough

[woeful pumice]

And how are you going to shoot those who come under the walls? 😺

I make a special protruding gallery so that there are no zones that cannot be shot through 😼👍

[clever venture]

if they're willing to come that close to the watchtower, I have a silver sword with their name on it

[woeful pumice]

Also an option 😸

[clever venture]

At the end of the day, it's a watch tower. Nothing of import is inside of it, and it's a bit of a ways away from the main building

[woeful pumice]

It's just that I'm a little fond of fortification, and I think in this direction, I try to make buildings with the maximum defensive component, but there's nothing wrong with just a watchtower 😼👍

[narrow prawn]

mine don't

[feral forge]

I'm in the flow - i love this game

[neon matrix]

soo cool!

[viral nexus]

Added on a small work space off the kitchen, made a stonecutter and zooted up my dock a little bit

[alpine cloud]

Twin Wizard Tower build redone in marble

[narrow prawn]

vnice building style, just a few things: cover those exposed iron beams!! even regular wood will do the job, but corewood or darkwood also works, also ctrl+f3 if you play on keyboard to hide the UI when taking shots (p.sure you can do this on xbox as well), and you can hide yr character nearby and use commands to take shots without it in if you want as well ||for this you want devcommands-freefly||

[alpine cloud]

I didn't know ctrl f3 function thank you!! This build isn't my own just redone in marble but yes I need to do more work hehe thank you again!

[narrow prawn]

really just small deets in an otherwise great build

[wicked bear]

First attempt at a dome. Well, octogon, really.

[low dirge]

before and after I got my stonecutter (oops slow posting is on)

(The stairs were just scaffolding hehe)

I'm always too scared to go into the swamp so getting iron for my stonecutter was hell lmao

[viral nexus]

The swamp is much scarier in bronze armor

[river timber]

the start of the water base

this thing is gonna be massive

[finite oak]

my Tower was first locking bad I needed to fix something

[viral nexus]

Looks like you're trying to send an SOS transmission to Midgard looks cool though

[finite oak]

reaching Midgard from the 10 Realm is hard i think i need more of them to get it running

[gray sigil]

reminder that you can use trees as free full supports for building XD so tree houses are a viable option

[feral forge]

Its almost finished 🙂

[viral nexus]

Upgraded my storage shed, finally put in a hearth, and redid the roof of my dock in 45° pieces for more height and extended it out 8m. At the very limits of what the core wood can do so high up there in the front.

[clever venture]

@sage wraith @forest maple 1- Forge compound 2- docks 3- road start 4- road continued + entrance gate 5 - portal hub exterior ...

6- portal hub interior 7- farms! 8- watchtower 9- main steps 10- the main building

11- front gardens 12- BEES 13- inner gardenx2 14- craftings 15- hearth + storage and mead shelves

16- The courtyard gardens 17- portal hub "reception" 18- roomx2 19- balcony connecting the rooms 20- the gatehouse view. Done.

[sage wraith]

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaammmmnnn how long did that take?? Now I'm afraid of what your post-plains base looks like

Everything looks amazing. I love the detail, and somehow the front gardens just tickle my brain right

[forest maple]

Looks really nice!

[clever venture]

Haha, the actual compound won't be changing. This is a "forever" base. I'll just be changing basic decor to darkwood accents, tar roofs, etc. Probably nothing with black marble because it would throw off the aethetic

[forest maple]

Just curious, did you use the plant everything mod?

[clever venture]

Yeah, it's the only mod I ever run

[forest maple]

Nice! That’s one I want to try out some day.

[clever venture]

Game just feels weird without it

[lapis sky]

I like your toll road the most;) it's a cool concept

[clever venture]

thanks! It was sponsored by the sheer frustration of not being able to cart a full load of iron from the docks LOL

So we cut the load in half, each person got half a carts worth and we raced up the road lol

[lapis sky]

A deer in the 20th picture: is waiting for a car to appear to jump in front of it

City 2 -> Incoming

[shut grail]

Its a trash build compared to to all your builds but still pretty proud if it

[faint kindle]

The main thing is that you like it

[heavy fable]

Nice build and in my opinion all players build wath like

[heavy fable]

this is my house simple and functional

[shut grail]

Looks great brother

[heavy fable]

ty

@shut grailif you want i can jump in a chanel and strem to give u a tour of the inside also

[shut grail]

Maybe some other time brother, maybe in 5 hours? Im not home at the moment

Im looking forward to seeing it

[lavish agate]

nice, I'm always a fan of mixing stone with stake walls

[forest maple]

That is amazing!! Gonna steal some ideas 👀

[shut grail]

I need roof ideas for this

[atomic musk]

Either you go elven smiths and make 3 seperate ones or go Sauron and do one roof to cover them all.

[finite oak]

My small town is gowing I just added this tower and now it looks like this

[shut grail]

How did you do the windows

[grim turtle]

back to work on my mountain mansion - back to work on the small garden areas

[grim turtle]

just realised how huge it is compared the mountain itself lol

[shut grail]

added some details, still dont know what roof design to put on it...

I need roof ideas for this...

[hearty mulch]

maybe try this on larger scale like the 2 outside parts lower roof and the middle one higher with a balcony and 2nd story

[viral nexus]

That's a good idea

[shut grail]

should I add dormer windows on the roofs? and should the overhangs be just half the length of the roof?

[hearty mulch]

idk what would look best but dormer windows would be fine i guess

[shut grail]

should the overhangs be just half instead of a whole roof piece?

[narrow prawn]

half piece overhangs look better but are trickier to work with

[shut grail]

i know how to do them I just need opinions on what would look better because im undecisive

[narrow prawn]

it's all preference tbh, no overhang, full tile overhang, half tile overhang, it's really whatever you feel is best at the time

try them out and alter it if you don't like the look

the pic i posted there was to give ideas on how roofing can be crossed over and even dipped in with a T or similar structure

[shut grail]

thanks

[hallow epoch]

I agreed - it's to small

[grim turtle]

oh damn yeah, building a full fledge castle!

[faint kindle]

This is your building, experiment! Try different options and find what you like

[shut grail]

Idk if I cooked or no

Now, what do I do with this middle section...

[forest maple]

Might be wild, but you could do like a tall second floor?

[shut grail]

yeah thats good

[forest maple]

*third floor technically I suppose

[hot brook]

This is my gate for my new elven base named:Avenhelm

I should be done building Avenhelm in about a month of constant building

[viral nexus]

Raise it a meter higher, and do something similar as the sides

[shut grail]

Alright ill do that

[red locust]

this fog will always be here right , so i can just make the flooring of my place here and it wont be visible

[narrow prawn]

should just about cover it by the looks

you might want 2 floor tiles high if you don't want to see it at all

[idle salmon]

Just whanted to share what i did on server with friends

[hallow epoch]

Btw - if you interesting here is link with video tour https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1bog7hc/trident_castle_work_of_11_mounth_valheimbotm_some/

[forest bough]

She's a work in progress, but I love her so far

[shut grail]

I've finished building my house. It ain't much but I love how it turned out.

[forest maple]

Glad to see that middle section turned out well!

[shut grail]

Thank you for contributing ideas. ❤️

[uneven prawn]

Looks great!

[lavish agate]

now you just need to build a portal tower

[shut grail]

Will add that to my list! I might use those sealed towers for foundation!

[viral nexus]

Looks great!

[fast solar]

You know you can enable dev commands and use the freefly command to grab screenshots. It's not cheating! Despite the name it doesn't let your character fly, it just lets you move your camera freely

[faint kindle]

What about the stern Viking against the background of the house?😁

[edgy nexus]

Took a year or so out but I just downloaded again I think I might try to finish off my big project, here are some of the old screenshots, as you can see I'm only about 33% done, or less if you count the inside decoration

Thing is, I'm not sure if I like it enough to continue, but it also took me a long time to get to this point even with console commands so I'll try it for a while

and I still really like my mini cathedral

[hard ridge]

Wait for the Ashlands, which is coming soon™, there will be 50 additional building pieces

By soon™ I mean there are still 3 months to go until Ashlands, but who knows it might arrive sooner™

[edgy nexus]

I would sincerely love some more building pieces

[steep spade]

Flying above Forest

[hard ridge]

"Skeleton were surprised!"

[finite oak]

which window ?

[shut grail]

I'm talking about the first oic you sent, the house on the left side

[finite oak]

do you mean because it is 3m and i got a beam at 1.5m

[finite oak]

you could do some overhangs at this roof windows or a spike peak at the end of the roofs like this

[shut grail]

No like how did you make that window look curved

[finite oak]

wait

this are stone arches one each side

[red locust]

....... im gonna need more stone haha

[lavish agate]

are you going to cover the foundation with wood flooring? if so, you can remove all of the interior non-load-bearing stone pieces and no one but you will ever know they aren't there 😉

[red locust]

i wanna try to keep the bottom floor all stone :) maybe second floor aswell we'll see

[lavish agate]

then get to pickin'

[frosty birch]

Lotsa rocks on the hill in the background there, easy peasy 😉 Grab a cart and go to town.

[red locust]

i got portals to some crazy crazy plains :) like 15 pillars in one area

[frosty birch]

The pillars don't drop as much rock as I would think they should, I find them lackluster for actual stone supply. I love them for a base to build on, though 😉

[red locust]

truuue maybe i should just go to a mistlands i finished off

[frosty birch]

That reminds me, I need to try drwarfheim one of these days, dig into some Mistlands rock and make a base there...

[red locust]

max dig depth hits fast than you'd think

[frosty birch]

But they're large rocks, they're not ground depth. You can dig through the rocks 😉 I do that with the pillars on the plains as well, carve out large rooms in them as I build a staircase up around the outside.

[viral nexus]

That's a cool idea

[red locust]

i think this is big enough :D

gonna have to wait and see and experiment a lot to see if i can make second floor stone.. stability is complex, only willing to have 2 rows of pillars inside

[viral nexus]

Are you planning it, so as to not use iron beams?

[forest maple]

Can’t wait to see how it turns out!

[red locust]

i always wing it and it turns out better than i hope :) we'll see

[viral nexus]

I feel that it's how most of my builds have been aside from my stone castle i built a few months back, which i had a basic idea of how i wanted it to be. It turned out pretty good too imo lol

[red locust]

imagine typing skål as skol in the emote name

[odd turtle]

Hey noob to alotta things in valheim I’m just making it to mistlands anyway how do yall get these birds eye view shots and stuff

[red locust]

stand on tall stuff, or use cheats

[viral nexus]

Yup, either make a pillar to stand on, or you can use a devcommand called freefly to take control of the camera and get good angles/better angles than you can with your character/head in the way

[odd turtle]

Sickkk thanks bro

[odd turtle]

Prefer not to cheat but maybe prolly just stand on tall stuff lol

[red locust]

haha yeah same

more than two full black metal chests 🏛️

[forest maple]

I really like how you broke up the wall and have some depth to it!

[woeful pumice]

@red locust You can raise the ground in the corners and camouflage it with stone, this will give an extra stone floor 😼

[red locust]

IM HYPED @woeful pumice also good idea i might need the extra stability

[woeful pumice]

@red locust I did something similar, with no supports at all, but I don't remember how wide it was, I'll go into the game and see if it was 😼

[red locust]

now the fun starts :)

.. tomorrow

[faint kindle]

The console is turned on with the f5 button, Enter commands: devcommands, debugmode, freefly. Take screenshots and disable commands in reverse order

After entering each command, press Enter

[odd turtle]

Sick

[odd turtle]

Does it effect anything cause it warns me it’s not suggested

[narrow prawn]

only spawning in permanent objects is really risky, and yr not gonna be doing that

also once yr in freefly, ctrl+f3 hides the UI as normal

[odd turtle]

How do I free fly after I enter it

[narrow prawn]

press f5 again to close the command window and the camera should be free flying

just the normal controls for movement, wasd, ctrl to descend, space to ascend

[odd turtle]

Huh i must be doing something wrong lol

[narrow prawn]

also in the commands window, if you type in lodbias 1000, you can get more than usual to render in for the shot

[odd turtle]

Oh whale 🐳 I got a decent shot for wht i wanted I’ll keep trying tho lol

[viral nexus]

Freefly, one word not 2

[narrow prawn]

the lodbias tip will help your shots too Fukov

[grim turtle]

why make the ceiling of that stone?

would of made that out of wood to be fair unless that was a basement design

[reef leaf]

i just wish my fish would stop tryna jump out lmao

the moat is full of pufferfish to poison any enemies that fall in🤣

[forest maple]

Why the windmills on the chimney?

[viral nexus]

Good to know, I'll give it a try

[reef leaf]

oh they are placed specifically so that when i go thro the portal in the kitchen it takes me up to them and the flour drops down into a little chute that pops the bags into the kitchen

[forest maple]

Nice!!

[woeful pumice]

I have a few ideas that might be useful to you 😼 👍

[red locust]

Cause the entire building is going to be waaay larger :) i like the look of a stone bottom floor

[red locust]

Nice!

Also might replace the core wood i put in with darkwood :)

[teal fern]

New base or just a build?

[red locust]

Might have to be my new base, question is only if i have the patience to move my storage lol. + all the metals an stuff u cant tp with

[teal fern]

Keep posting updates. I like watching builds progress and yours looks like it is going to be amazing.

[red locust]

❤️

[teal fern]

I only have a mini shack built right now but I want to make a main base later.

[shadow ruin]

we built a tavern on the forest/mountain border 🙂

[grim turtle]

made something similar to that xD but on a large scale

[reef leaf]

ive been mostly using them around the edges of my portals in my portal room for accents but god damn they make a nice window too

[hard ridge]

not easy to set up but what do you guys think of this?

[hearty mulch]

looks really cool but wouldnt it be annoying to walk on?

[shut grail]

Beautiful, I suggest making the gaps betewwn the stones grass

[hard ridge]

it's kinda like that bridge where mobs can't get across because of the gap, but you and your cart can move smoothly over it. So I suppose this is a mob-proof path

[hard ridge]

I tried this out initially but the grass blades poke through the stone as well :<

[shut grail]

Damn would be cool though

[peak flare]

started building a Big wall

[lavish agate]

also good bat swatters

[lavish agate]

I do something similar with wood beams on dirt paths. makes it look like planks laid down for traction

[proper dagger]

certainly getting somewhere... but no idea where though LOL

[lavish agate]

that place is familiar lol

[proper dagger]

hahaha yeah.... it do be like that. Stub island

[hard ridge]

oh can I see it?

[lavish agate]

sure lemmi boot up the game rq

[forest maple]

That looks great!

[sudden dune]

Forgot to take a picture but me and a friend is trying to make a man-made river system

[frosty birch]

Just remember the 8m dig limit... Valheim's terrain and water system isn't super amenable to that kind of earthworks most of the time.

[sudden dune]

ahhhh damn it 😦 Ive already dug like half of it, but not deep enough so water can reach

[frosty birch]

At least you know now 😉 Terrain in the game can only be raised or lowered up to 8m from where it started.

[crude root]

☺️

[red locust]

weird alignment bug

[edgy coyote]

i think that's just the slight imperfections of the models themselves to give them detail? like wooden walls and floors are slightly bent and misaligned and not perfectly straight

[lavish agate]

if you hold Ctrl with an item selected you can see how it will warp when placed to create variance

the points will still be "snapped" to each other, but the model itself will skew slightly so that not every instance in the game looks identical

[vernal dagger]

I feel this is just an issue with when pieces are rotated. If they are rotated the same way then these imperfections will line up with one another properly. If they are not rotated the same way, the imperfections will be mismatched and not line up together.

You can see similar issues with 1x1 wood floor pieces. If you alternate them rotated 180 degrees at a time, there are noticeable gaps, offsets, etc. between each piece. If they are rotated the same way, they all mesh together really well.

[red locust]

😭

[edgy coyote]

lol yeah i know but stuff can be interesting without always being symmetrical 🙂

[frosty birch]

Try turning off tesselation to reduce some of that? But it's intentional.

[viral nexus]

You could place another layer of walls in front of that

[red locust]

wont be perfect..

[lavish agate]

perfect is boring

hold shift and place the wood just in front of the stone enough that it doesn't clip through

[forest maple]

Embrace the imperfections!

[lavish agate]

variation is what makes things look unique and human-made

I shift place so much shit in my builds to make things work, and you'd never know just walking through and looking around at everything

you'd be too busy asking "how did you do that?" lol

[red locust]

this'll work.. i will just accept that stone is visible.. now, stairs.

[edgy coyote]

@lavish agate yeah my best ideas come from just rotating stuff, placing it, and getting ideas, making everyting mirrored and right angle'd gets boring imo

[lavish agate]

I shoot for asymmetry as much as makes sense in the build. things end up looking much more interesting to me 🍻

[red locust]

started to rain.. gonna have a looooot of repairing to do after i finish my build lol

[sick hound]

Heck that's a lot of work to do, but wasn't the trenches supposed to be before the wall? Like _trench_/-| WALL | (villa/home/houses) | WALL | _trench_/ ?

[peak flare]

Trench was made way way way before I started building that wall so yk

[sick hound]

OOhhh, I get it... I wasted a lot of stone covering mine, but mine was also thinner. So still doable, yet it made a lot difference when bulding my outerwalls
