[peak flare]

I will keep that trench tbh it's nice looking and overall kinda helpful even tho it will be covered rn

[sick hound]

I see...My wall only covers part of the "front" entrace... (because I ran out of, and am lazy) soo thats a lot of stones

[peak flare]

Yeah ik fortunately enough I play with my friend so we can get 2 carts of stones easily

[sick hound]

good luck with that and back to work!

[peak flare]

Thanks

[red locust]

nighttime photo to not spoil the full reveal

[red locust]

getting the roof stable was a nightmare... i made it work though somehow

[grim turtle]

i would say do a 2 roof design with the angles - more slope on the edges to the centre with the high roof

will bring more edge and uniqueness to the build

@red locust had to bring up very old images - something like this with the angles on the roof to the full 45degree

[red locust]

❤️ Will check it out tmrw, zzz now

[surreal wren]

More bubbles please!

[teal fern]

This looking good so far!

[narrow prawn]

but not stonework protruding through woodwork in front of it....

i'd stick a banner in front of the wood or something else to hide the clipping

[reef leaf]

yea don't think alot of people know the windmill blades actually deal blunt dmg to bats during cauldron event and drakes during moder, the cauldron event is actually such a nuisance if you have any breeder pens that use height to work setup bats always kill your breeders lol

anyone know whats going on here its hard enough to find a large mist free area for jotun and magecap i finally found one but the terrain keeps doing this i come back and yea

[reef leaf]

pretty sure the ground well above its raise limit too when this happens cause it was a filled in hole

[lavish agate]

I suggested shift+placing the wood slightly forward to cover up the stone.

[red locust]

didnt think it was possible to make an angled ridge roof :) glad i figured it out

now i gotta start transferring items and making crafting stations...

im thinking about making a basement but one missclick and half the house goes down 😂

[woeful pumice]

yes, it is better to do it before, not after 😹

@red locustyou have a lot of free space at the ends of the roof, you can decorate it with something 😼 👍

[red locust]

i wish i could add some extra stuff like that but i have literally maxed out the stability . i might replace some beams with iron once i get it cooking

[woeful pumice]

stability is for cowards, you are a Viking, well, half the house will fall apart, so what? 😹

[woeful pumice]

@red locustI'm also doing a little renovation on my base 😹

I make earthen walls, then I line them with stone, and this allows me to build very high 😼

[split forum]

Back isn't decorated so much,

[faint kindle]

I see that many people love ditches:)

[cyan tapir]

I lean towards natural ditches. Try to find river spots that lend to easy isolation.

[viral nexus]

Just depends on the area around what I'm building, if it's close to/ on the shore I'll trench it out and build up the shore so it's not easily accessible from the water by mobs. If it's pretty much anywhere else I'll either leave it mostly natural with some flat areas to build structures or build up earthen walls around a large flattened area to build in. I did a little simple hillside village with the natural terrain a while back, it turned out alright.

Basically all 3 houses going down the hill look like this. "cookie cutter" (i did wall in the sleeping quarters). but this what i meant by "natural terrain" i didn't terraform anything but the cobblestone paths and just enough to put a few floor tiles and a bed under the fireplace.
#screenshots message

[gusty portal]

how can i vent the smoke out of my ceiling?

[frosty birch]

Depends on what the stability at the top there is, but you can raise the center section on 1 m wood pieces over where the fire is and put the cap on top of that, or just use an angle piece instead of the roof cap

[gusty portal]

this looks a bit tacky lol

[frosty birch]

Unfortunately you're somewhat limited by physics in the game 😉 real life chimneys need caps and structure like that as well

The nice thing is that the way you had it initially doesn't actually hurt anything functionally

[gusty portal]

i guess it looks alright now

[red locust]

reworked the roof a little cause it looked ugly from this side

[wheat shale]

@cyan tapir
My mistlands base viewed from above at night

[red locust]

wow <3

[forest maple]

This is turning out really nice!!

[red locust]

i got lots of work to do still haha

[cyan tapir]

Working with the spires. I've been wanting to do this. Your build looks incredible. I found a spot that had triple spire. I had this vision for a Tolarian academy

[wheat shale]

That would look stunning man! 🤩
Mistlands really is one of the best biomes for building
My base at dawn (just stopped raining)

[cyan tapir]

The lighting and atmosphere is hard to beat. With great contrast in color

[cyan tapir]

Can we get an inside tour?* The wood and stone on black marble looks so good. I was skeptical of how they could compliment each other

[wheat shale]

Sure - it's a bit of a full single passage layout
you start at the front door which has a single spiral stair to get to it - should hopefully help to keep out non-flying raiders

Followed by the kitchen / first portal room (This leads to another base I have in the world)
also a small intermediate room with a portal to an infested mine i use for collecting goodies

Stepping through the door you have a lovely view of the main bedroom and staircase up to the workshop and cooking area, as well as a second staircase leading to the lookout on the top of the spire
If you enter the big door that is the main bedroom where I got my profile pic

if you go into the cooking area / workshop I have a single set of basic crafting stations (I main a mage build, so no need to have 100 crafting stations I don't use), as well as a mage center (apologies for the excessive lighting 🤣)

The lookout gives a good view of the surrounding valley and a nice look at the base from above

All in all, the base is mostly built out of wood with a few nice extra's thrown in where I could spare the black marble

[cyan tapir]

The involvement of foliage in some of these shots. Cozy place. Looks lived in. I sure would like some house plants. Brings a lot to a well lit space.

[wheat shale]

It would be amazing! 🤩

[wheat shale]

I really liked the idea of keeping it small and cozy - built for one with the full layout of everything a wizard could need

[cyan tapir]

Mission accomplished

[stable junco]

New world, new base:

This time I have it so that two people live inside the pyramid.

[torn solstice]

first post, good portion of my base cheers

[clever venture]

@woeful pumice Alright, is this "defensible" enough for you?

[woeful pumice]

where is the castle moat? 🙀

the castle is in the lowlands, the troll will throw stones at you from above, the greenery around blocks the view for shooting, there are many blind spots that are not provided with firing zones? 😹

[viral nexus]

It looks nice though

[woeful pumice]

@clever ventureJokes aside, it's a cool castle 😼 👍

[clever venture]

There is a moat, around the actual hold. The land around it isn't above ground, it's at most level, and around the main keep there is not only a moat, but raised earth and stone walls

There are archery ports, catwalks, and access all throughout the two gatehouses, don't worry

It's a poor screenshot of the actual facilities imo

A little clearer

[raven ether]

This one reminds me of Nubian pyramids. Looks great!

[narrow prawn]

nice build but the risks are still present, trolls will throw rocks and smash yr walls up

this is a real moat and earth wall defences, pretty impregnable

[clever venture]

#building-screenshots message

No, this is a real impregnable fortress

[frosty birch]

Finally decided how I wanted to decorate my new keep @forest maple

[forest maple]

Dang that looks sick! I like the floor a lot. Working on my black marble workshop currently.

[hard ridge]

that wooden gate door looks out of place :P

[frosty birch]

Yeah, it's the back door. I might replace it, or try to hide it better. Main entrance is over a bridge so I wanted a second way to get in and out just in case.

[clever venture]

This hurt my brain for like 10 seconds, I demand recompense.

[frosty birch]

Hardest part was getting the stone floor pieces offset just right for the pillars to show through right

[narrow prawn]

i dunno for me the stone floor looks too janky to mix with the marble, but that's personal preference

[clever venture]

The only way I like mixing black marble/stone is in a black/white chessboard pattern flooring

[frosty birch]

Hah. That's basically how it is 😉 Just a couple fancy offsets.

[clever venture]

Looks like a ringed pattern to me

Imagine the pain of trying to do a true ringed pattern with the way the snap points work....

[narrow prawn]

a few here experiment with mixing them, but i haven't liked the look of any of them aside from the chessboard

[frosty birch]

It wasn't too bad... I was more referring to the colors alternating, not a checkerboard specifically

[narrow prawn]

the way stone joins to stone just irks me

[clever venture]

I would like using stone 3x more than I do, if it were as smooth as black marble in terms of pixel collision. The fact that it pokes through wooden cover wall irks the hell out of me and especially if you're using stone roofing + wooded tiles underneath, almost 50% of it comes through.

[narrow prawn]

😬 🙈

[clever venture]

why, god, why

[frosty birch]

Y'all just a bunch of haters 😉

[forest maple]

@frosty birch

Here’s my Eitr workshop! Tried to incorporate some Dwarven style construction without outright copying them. The lanterns combined with the sconces make for amazing lighting. I think core wood looks great with marble. The refinery is safely ‘locked’ behind a cage to prevent any unwanted damage.

This is a work in progress, I plan on build a second floor, might make it a tower or something.

[forest maple]

LOL don’t worry, I think it looks neat 🤌

[sleek shoal]

progress pic

[viral nexus]

What are those arrows?

[sick oasis]

My planned endgame build, It's not furbished right now and in the last picture I intend to add a spiral staircase to a bedroom. I also intend to make the roofing to shingles.

At night im trying to get a mystical cozy feeling with the campfire in the lounge and the mistlights in the main craft area

[sleek shoal]

crystal walls put into the gaps created by 16 side buildings

[viral nexus]

That's what i figured it was, looks nice

[sleek shoal]

thank you!

[jade lichen]

Can i see your garden areas?

[sleek shoal]

for mine? there aren't any yet but i'll add a picture after

[wise snow]

Working on a massive survival temple. The spire is nearly 80m from where I took this screenshot.

[plain elk]

i have no clue about door design, any suggestion

also i wanna try a small doorway but still no clue

[frosty birch]

I would get rid of the pieces that are angled in toward the door there, just make them the 1x1 cubes. Then for the arches, move them out to the side and separate them with another 1x1 cube so that there's no clipping over the door

[jade lichen]

I ment anyone who had any gardening ideas

[plain elk]

thank you!

[dapper fog]

Asked our friend what we should build in Valheim this time. He said let's build a Lodge. Roof is almost done, here some construction progress photos. Don't think he realized the scale we normally build at.

Crypt is in the basement, sub basement is the kitchen which leads to the 3 biome farm

[forest maple]

Mother of Wood that is gargantuan!

[teal fern]

This is insane. Do you mind sending a pic of the exterior?

[teal fern]

Nevermind. Just seen the pics you posted.

[wise snow]

I think this looks fantastic and I am totally going to use it in the village beneath my temple

[gusty portal]

super happy rn with how the way my small farming garden turned out

[gusty portal]

@mild venture this is what i have been doing for the past 91 days in my world lol

[mild venture]

dude honestly that shit looks nice asf

[wise snow]

Heh the temple casts a very long shadow

[normal shard]

I see there is a lot of people with a lot of patient 😮

[split forum]

And a lot of stone

[normal shard]

Yeah!

[naive bolt]

Each circle more scuffed than the last, only the bottom was perfect

[naive bolt]

I finished the "groundwork" / "shell" of the tower
now to finish adding 3 more of these supporting side pillars, along with the top of the tower itself, and then carve out a lot of details...

its hard to get a grasp on how big it is

[hallow epoch]

small updates to the "Trident castle"

[naive bolt]

calling it quits for now, gotta work on the "crown" of the tower, i cant find a good shape so far

[ornate galleon]

do the isengart shape

[lavish agate]

and mods

[naive bolt]

that is the plan, I'm kinda doing the orthanc but not really

[dapper fog]

How it started

How its going

[regal pond]

A humble freshly made warehouse waiting to be filled

[faint kindle]

What's the point of building it this size?

[regal pond]

To store stuff

[desert tendon]

https://tenor.com/view/my-goals-are-beyond-your-understanding-reverse-flash-eobard-thawne-the-flash-gif-16637212

[faint kindle]

How many hours does it take to collect resources to fill this warehouse?

[regal pond]

Hopefully longer than I'm willing to play the game... hopefully.

[wise snow]

https://youtu.be/HnzLconK4Tw?si=WkUGB51SyUfggVu7&t=73

[hard ridge]

Is there a landmark in there shaped like a trident, like some kind of monument?

[hallow epoch]

it's a sign on the tower wall - from both side. And also it's sign of trident at the gate what leading from the lower city to the castle and to the citadel

[hard ridge]

also I'm really digging how smooth the road looks in the 8th pic (no pun intended)Must have taken quite a few tries to get it that way 😬

[hallow epoch]

Oh yeah - it takes a while to make it 😅 .
And actually at that place where is lower city is - there by default was goblin tower ( or that small house with 2 floor's from stone )

[raven ether]

The Island of the lost ships. Not a masterpiece, just chaos and some mods

[gusty portal]

made a portal hub at elkthyrs altar

[viral nexus]

Lol elkthyr the moose-deer

[jade lichen]

The reindeer 🦌 of the storm

Screw Rudolph. I choose elkthyr.

[frosty birch]

Now summon him 😛

[faint kindle]

The fence and pier were completed

[gusty portal]

Bro built the pentagon

[mild venture]

anybody have some design ideas for the indoors? (maybe outdoors too) im not very creative lmao

base has alot of potential but idk

[flint ocean]

My first message on this server. Hey everybody

It was my old pier

[gilded cosmos]

Really like the style of your build, that combination of core wood and black marble looks great! Already nicked the idea for a mistlands build I'm just working on. Really love your hanging baskets too, they are great, and lots of other lovely details. Hope you'll show more of your build once it's done!

[faint kindle]

Thank you, I will be happy to show you the final result of my base. But the resource chests need to be replenished, so the finish line is still a long way off.

[bright trellis]

This is my Mountain cabin 🙂

[viral nexus]

That's really noice

[bright trellis]

I forgot to post how it looks on the inside (it's next to Moder's spawn so I have the view of the temple)

[mild venture]

I always feel proud and happy of my buildings then i open this channel 😂

[hallow epoch]

Well i guess this channel much more for inspiration and sharing 😀

[normal shard]

Working on my berryfarm!

[lavish agate]

you can achieve the roof lattice effect faster and cheaper with ladders 😉 yours looks nice too tho

[mild venture]

what do you guys think of my dock i spent 5 hours building it

[fluid verge]

Humble beginnings 🙂

[urban comet]

didn't even think of it, thanks for the tip!

[frosty birch]

And if you do the slats the other direction with slanted beams, they don't take water damage. But it's definitely a different look.

[hearty mulch]

first dock crane i have build kinda ugly 😛

[shadow karma]

Walk-through of my Plains Manor

https://youtu.be/muS0USIHEpg?si=DNStxt6LitjZlZmc

[teal fern]

I really like the bedrooms.

[cyan sierra]

My character is Citan, my son plays torkel and he decorated his own room. I did the structure though.

Also thank you.

[frosty birch]

Super well thought out design there. I also like the cojones of walking around near the Plains in in just Fenris armor, and not even the hood 😉

[gusty portal]

Making a barn for my boars right now and i need feedback on which roof you guys think looks best

[forest maple]

Option 4 🤌

[gusty portal]

I just went with this instead. does it still look alright?

[forest maple]

Yeah that looks great too! Maybe you could add a beam to the top and hang a brazier from it? That would be neat.

I like how you extended the roof, really adds depth to the build.

[gusty portal]

like this? i think the beam on top looks better

[forest maple]

Yep! Yep, the second image is what I had imagined, that looks badass!

[hallow epoch]

well - at rain time it will fade

[frosty birch]

Need to figure out something fun to do with this... I'm thinking building above it on some iron supported stilts so it can stay visible as a beacon

[forest maple]

That’s actually tough, maybe you could build up a little outpost with a plank for jumping off with the feather cape?

[frosty birch]

I'm gonna use some iron and build up around it, see if I can make a raised base above it so it can stay as a beacon (it's super tall), and probably bridge over to that slightly lower peak in the background

This is what it looks like from over there

[viral nexus]

Just a little free building, took a little inspiration from #building-ideas message

[cyan tapir]

Vetlive used to do a lot of structures framed this way. Looks great

[frail jewel]

day 200 in my small humble viking village

[viral nexus]

That was fun, now to get back to my very hard playthrough, mountains are quite hard on very hard 😅

[inland summit]

The house that will last me the rest of my playthrough seems to be coming along well.
It's not turning out how I expected, but I believe it looks good.
I hope I don't get disappointed with it and scrap the entire thing like I tend to do lol

[hot zinc]

Harbor for 6 longships

[lavish agate]

6 longships? that's a lotta seamen 😉

[gusty portal]

Pause

[mortal juniper]

need a dock and this thing is almost finished on the exterior

[sick oasis]

Followup concept to my pen idea in #valheim-help excuse the horrid MS paint blueprint

Prevents raids from killing my boars (mostly), extends the house for storage, and looks dope in theory

now to mine the stone...

[hard ridge]

The ground is shaking

[sick oasis]

Its coming along great, just very expensive and the roofing needs work.

[inland summit]

Progress is going slowly. I have decided though that the first half is going to be a glorified entry way, and made the second half bigger. I'm going to have some kind of section composed with stone intersecting the middle I think.

[vocal fern]

Some Minor progress on the new channel bridge/ gate

Anyone have any name ideas? The finished product will be inspired by a combination of the old medieval London bridge, Tower bridge in london, and the Twins from asoiaf

what the new gatehouse will possibly maybe probably look like

[forest maple]

That looks amazing!

[rare sequoia]

nice stone work. good use of clipping/overlapping.

[vernal dagger]

Shouldn't modded builds be posted in #mods-screenshots ?

[sinful wolf]

Yes it should. Modded builders just can’t help themselves.

[keen kiln]

Sorry bout that lol

[vocal fern]

cool night time view of my city on both sides of the channel

lighthouse lookin eerie

its cutting it a bit close but i think this archway might be just barley tall enough for the boat

[hybrid nymph]

barley, indeed

[mild basin]

what should I do here?

[inland summit]

Alright, got a lot of work done on it today. Also made me realize I really want to go back to the entry and modify/clean it up a bit.
Also a bonus screenshot of the framework being built during a storm.
Oh, and also it got even bigger this session. Extended the rear out even more and might have a stone patio out back.

[frosty birch]

Mistlands spire base is starting to take shape

[frosty birch]

Looks ripe for an art installation

[forest maple]

Nice, always love that brick pattern! Can’t wait to see more progress on this

[frosty birch]

Thanks 🙂 Gotta decide if I'm going to make the upper level all stone as well, make a third level with Corewood logs, so many choices

[forest maple]

Ooooh I need to send you picture of the new addition on my Eitr workshop, might inspire you 😁

[frosty birch]

I'm thinking I want to put a hot tub on the roof, maybe some kinda half open top cabana floor. Gotta figure out a fire, too

[sleek shoal]

i had the same idea for what i'm building, but haven't come up with anything i like yet. can't wait to see what you end up doing

[narrow prawn]

comfy vibes

[vocal fern]

coming together nicely i think

[narrow prawn]

last one 😅

[forest maple]

@frosty birch

Here’s my add-on for my Eitr workshop, I went with core wood as the third-ish floor. I think core wood blends really well with black marble!

(Kinda empty right now, need more copper for lighting lol)

[narrow prawn]

the front facade looks great, just continue with that and 🤌

[frosty birch]

Nice. I finished up the overall structure of my outpost, now I've got to decorate. I'll put up a screenie later.

[vocal fern]

still needs some fine details and decoration but the towers and bridge structure are done

[flat hollow]

Cozy bed

[frosty birch]

Need to put some more flourishes and decoration on, but the overall structure is pretty much done @forest maple

[frosty birch]

Probably ought to get some ballistas built for protection soon, too...

[forest maple]

That’s going to be so fun to jump off of with the feather cape lol

[frosty birch]

My smelting setup is at the base of the hill to the left, guarded by a friendly dvergr, so I do that often 😛

I was actually lucky enough that that bridge there is fully corewood and regular wood, no iron required to get it to bridge that gap

[forest maple]

Oh nice, that is lucky! What’s your plan for the interior?

[frosty birch]

No idea. I'm thinking a living room type area on the lowest level, and an ornate bedroom on the middle level. I'll just have to inspire a bit.

The inside is fun since it has some of the natural rock built into the structure, and the stairs kinda spiral around it. I'll make a video in a couple days once I get all that done, still pictures don't really do it justice

[sturdy yarrow]

Small smelting house :)

[vocal fern]

though i plan to add more to the bridge like buildings and more decoration it is too a stage that i can call done for now

[forest maple]

Turned out really good!

[keen rune]

seaside tower :3

[heavy fable]

@keen runelooks like one of the towers from Age of Empire 2 😄 nice build

[woeful pumice]

But how to use this bridge if you need to carry something? 🙀

[median vine]

younger me had big ambitions with this tower but now i draw a blank on what to do with it

[stiff idol]

Take it down. Build on new ambitions.

[viral nexus]

Make it a ridiculously large storage facility

[frosty birch]

Just put a single wooden chest in the middle, with 3 pieces of resin in it.

[forest maple]

A place to keep all your bone fragments

[viral nexus]

One of my first builds was a large core wood tower, on the ground floor i had it sectioned off in 4 quadrants, one was a cooking area, 1 for smelting, 1 for crafting and an entrance with a staircase up to the top where i had a bar, living quarters and a medium sized storage room

[sleek shoal]

it's supported by trees so no idea how you'd get a roof or floor in there even

[viral nexus]

Wood iron

[sleek shoal]

yeah i just don't see it being used in the picture

[median vine]

stone floor celing

[sleek shoal]

oh it is wood iron lol, sorry my eyes are definately not what they used to be .. why not replace the trees with more iron then?

[viral nexus]

Free support lol

[median vine]

the onlything i can say i lilke about it, its pretty much un raidable

[sleek shoal]

without covering the trees with a ton of stone or something i have no idea... maybe just play/build something else till you get an idea for what you had in mind?

[frosty birch]

Actually, building on this... I haven't tried, but can you build a chest on a hanging brazier? Or just put it on a small platform hanging from the very top center of the ceiling there 😛

[forest maple]

Hmm maybe put a personal chest on a brazier? Those small 8 iron chests.

[median vine]

the one resin chest

[forest maple]

Looks like a chest in a zelda game that has a a unique item or something lol 🪃

[brisk light]

The sound played in my head as I read that

[faint kindle]

Now we need to make a labyrinth for this chest😁

[inland summit]

Ended up ripping down the middle and front for a completely different remodel. I think this will turn out quite good at this rate.

[misty flower]

do you guys like my forge? I know it's small, but I've never been very keen on building in games, so I'm proud of it.

[sick oasis]

looks awesome

[misty flower]

thanks! ❤️

[inland summit]

Annnddd the roof is now done! Now the actual hard part, filling out the walls without making it look devoid of the awesome depth I've created.

View of how it looks from the shoreline where I will come in after a long journey (ignore the temporary shack on the left)

Interior shot before it eventually gets cluttered with walls and objects to turn it into a functional living space. Definitely going to have a throne staring down the entry

[burnt wharf]

Built this storage area but my friend thinks it's "ugly" and was a "waste of time." Is it good or bad?

[faint kindle]

If you like it, then why is it bad?

[burnt wharf]

Oh I'm quite proud of it.

[faint kindle]

Give a friend the opportunity to build his own warehouse and see whose construction is more interesting

[misty flower]

DEAR GOD

If you showed me that screenshot out of context and asked me whether it was made in this game, I'd have said no way.

[wise adder]

Hehe, thanks! It's also 100% built on a survival server, to make it even more epic.

[misty flower]

It is awe inspiring. After seeing this, I'm going to have to make some big structure from northrend in world of warcraft now.

the mix of norse and fantasy architecture of wrath of the lich king has never left my mind.

[wise adder]

Great idea! Go for it! Be sure to post it and tag me so i don't miss it!

[viral nexus]

I'd definitely say wait until you make it to the plains (5th biome) so you have better building materials to work with. But that sounds like it'll be cool as heck.

[misty flower]

oh yeah, I'm not doing that now. I don't even have stone xd

[kindred minnow]

could we see some more pictures of the castle if possible? would be nice to see more angles and more details

[wise adder]

As requested, more pic of the Viking Castle

[inland summit]

That's amazing, easily one of the best stone builds I've seen.
If you have more interior shots I'd love to see those as well!

[inland summit]

I have made more progress, the front's walls are filled in. I didn't want to overcomplicate but I didn't want them to appear too plain. I think I achieved the middleground.
Next session is filling out the rear's walls and then eventually I get to mess around with interior

[median vine]

Doing a simple troll cave starter home on this new world

4. Portal hub: not finished as I need surtling cores and finewood, the roof is also unfinished as I ran out of tar.

Lakeside Village in the plains, took about 6 weeks but I love it

I did short video tour on it with different lightings #self-promotion message

[pseudo furnace]

yo thats fire

[lethal phoenix]

Holy cow man, this is incredible.

[candid gale]

Beautiful.

[median vine]

yall are amazing builders

[strong lark]

Nightshot - view from my offdshore shanty looking towards the village

[cinder zephyr]

Any inspo for building with black marble?

[karmic swift]

My spooky-themed "cabin in the woods/witch tower" build

[forest maple]

A nice table idea!

[tranquil willow]

when it's the journey that counts

[faint kindle]

There is an idea for a building made of solid wood and marble

[gilded cosmos]

Try combining core wood with black marble, looks pretty nice.

[safe basin]

Something like this maybe? My current main base.

[wheat shale]

Amazing!!!!🤩🤩🤩

Also, ||someone is wearing a root for a hat|| 😂

[fiery bluff]

Crossroads on plains

[tepid sedge]

Warcraft player?

[blissful oxide]

1st attempt at complex roof

[fiery bluff]

Yeah I like to play Warcraft but I only played in strategies

[tepid sedge]

Played the strategy ones when I was a kid, surprised I can still recognize those orc structures

[vocal crow]

Damn that was my reaction too, warcraft 3 orc vibes

[safe basin]

Or WoW. That watchtower could be straight out of Crossroads.

[vocal fern]

each tower has wide stair cases that do fit wagons if you dont wanna use a boat and there is a cargo lift though its only for decoration since it cant actually function.

[viral nexus]

Plains are so nice imo, my favorite place to build. Here's my first plains build in my current playthrough, just a kitchen basically lol but I sailed back home and brought some iron and stuff over to put up a forge and a blast furnace, i also went and got some barley from a fuling village up the hill a ways after i took these screenshsots, and have a small barley field going now too

Oh and my first 4 lox pies being baked as well

[vocal crow]

Yes truly the best biome for chill building vibes.

[blissful oxide]

Follow-up to yesterdays tower:

[desert tendon]

What's the name of those little house-like structures on top of castle towers?

[frosty birch]

If they're open they're called parapets I believe, but I'm not sure if they have a formal name

[desert tendon]

I get battlements as results when googling

[pliant hare]

That term is so broad though.

Pretty much every part of the structure that is intended for active defense is a battlement.

[safe basin]

Have you considered adding some buttressing to the stone parts? It looks a little bland right now. The wood part looks great though.

[desert tendon]

That makes it hard to search and I've wanted to know what they're called for a while

[blissful oxide]

Yes! Need ideas cause its super bland right now

Was thinking perhaps framing out sections with core wood or dark wood. And some windows

Nervous about the windows though and stability, dont want whole thing to fall when I make an opening lol

[safe basin]

You can frame the windows with wood iron beams before deleting the stones if you're worried about stability. You can cover them up with corewood or darkwood to hide them too.

[viral nexus]

Depends on what you mean, but i would assume turrets and/or corbels or a combination. Fancy pointed rooftops are called spires. Which can still have battlements around them depending on construction. Other things may be oriels or garderobes. Lots of little structures that can be considered house-like on/ around towers.

[frosty birch]

@forest maple I think I'm mostly finished with it now https://youtu.be/CLjpEzlR00o

[inland summit]

Made a lot of progress on my Valheim house since the last post. I've never tried making a basement before, but I am quite happy with how it turned out. Have an exeterior cart entrance and an interior stairwell to my bedroom, a space for crafting + storage + a vault.

[safe basin]

Some pictures of my black marble river fortress (ignore the ugly front courtyard, it's still a WIP).

[spring jackal]

i love the way you did the ledge

[forest maple]

Dang that looks incredible! Makes me want to work on my mistlands boss lol.

[raw jetty]

nice open spaced house with a kitchen/workshop also a chill area with a fire pit

[hard ridge]

cozy

[frosty birch]

Love having wall-to-wall lox carpeting in my builds, too

[raw jetty]

more cosy looking

leave the bedrooms to the potion hall

[raw jetty]

[bold thorn]

my little farm 👩‍🌾 nothing too special, the crops aren't at full capacity yet, and the chicken coop is empty, but it's the first build i'm really proud of 'cause it's functional and manages to look good at the same time. bad weather in the pic

[faint kindle]

Rain makes buildings shine and they look even more beautiful

[bold thorn]

No Man's Sea?

[opal shoal]

I'm sorry; this isn't something I am familiar with.

[exotic grail]

Ohh I get it now😂

[desert tendon]

So it wasn't me seeing things

[bold thorn]

that game is engrained into my DNA. i had an honest-to-gods life-changing experience when I first played it on release. I cannot see anything else when someone posts octahedrons, especially with little drops of red in the centre

[bold thorn]

what made you come up with this shape and build if you're unfamiliar with NMS? that's the only place i know anytthing similar in shape and colour from. the only other large octahedral i'm aware of in pop culture is Ramiel from NGE but she's blue

[opal shoal]

When Mistlands first came out, I wanted to try out the black marble build pieces. After experimenting with a pyramid, i decided to try a diamond. It was fun, but was tough fitting all of the crafting/smelting into it. On my current community server, we have shared crafting/cooking, so I revisited this design for my personal home.

If I was to credit anything for inspiration, I'd have to say weird fiction and sci-fi/horror from the 1920's and 1930's.

[bold thorn]

ahh I see, thanks for letting me know! NMS has similar vibes to what you describe, and it's own base building system alongside a lot of customisation, you migth what to check it out if you're into sci-fi at all.
all that aside, it's an awesome build

[opal shoal]

Cool. I think I skipped it due to all the bad press at release, but will check it out. This was the original build; I think I like it out in the ocean a bit more.

[stiff idol]

Trying to be creative. Still WIP.

[bold thorn]

You're succeeding! I'd love to explore that, never seen anything like it

[rare sequoia]

Hedron life~

[safe basin]

Is it just me or does the building on the right look a little like a wild west saloon? It's only missing the doors, really.

[stiff idol]

Haha, now that you mention it...

It's meant to be a garage/storage for carts and work shop. A viewing balcony on the top because there's a really nice view from there.

[safe basin]

Well it's mead production now. 😁

[wheat shale]

Destiny pyramid vibes much?

[opal shoal]

Never played this game either, but my pyramid build is visible here: https://youtu.be/HB0VrHa2kW0?si=aGM89HFlrHaVA0Ej

my little and humble island shelter

[vestal whale]

Night shot of the new WIP mistlands home I'm working on. Mostly done, but still missing a few rooms and a lot of details.

The roof is one of the more geometrically complex ones I've done so far, but I'm extremely happy with how it turned out. It helps, I think, that the house is above the snow line.

[wheat shale]

Keep us posted man! That looks great!!! 🥳🥳

Viking Corporate Retreat

[regal pond]

A simple fishing hut. A place to rest after a good fishing trip... to go on another one. Comfy for the rested bonus and some storage space for rod, bait and fish.

[vestal whale]

Thanks!

Still needs a bit more work, but I'm quite happy with how the "treasure room" is coming out.

The living area in the lower level is nearly complete as well.

It's such a nice location, too. I really like these "home in the sky" type of builds.

[stuck kraken]

my swamp outpost in a vanilla public server

[dreamy flare]

how do you make tall marble towers without it crumbling?

[safe basin]

iron wood. Lots of iron wood.

[dreamy flare]

like, inside and along the marble?

[safe basin]

exactly.

[dreamy flare]

damn

[safe basin]

yeah, building towers is expensive. Or really anything with stone and marble.

[fluid verge]

This one is normal size, without supports. But you can support stone with metal

[dreamy flare]

you used no metal supports with the tower?!?!?!?

[fluid verge]

Nope

[wheat shale]

Oh I REALLY like that! 🤩🤩🤩
The treasure wall is something AWESOME! 🥳🥳🥳

[wheat shale]

Oh man I really like this!
I love how you have incorporated multiple levels into your build, It’s looking so good!!!

[placid yarrow]

WE'RE RICH

[meager flame]

my first build is getting somewhere

[fervent quartz]

Hello everyone, my English is not very good, but I want to share my building. I have just joined this game for about a month. I have studied many construction videos. I hope everyone can give me suggestions to make greater progress.🙇

[smoky fossil]

Heck yeah, spoopy green. I love it.

[vestal whale]

Gotta stop for a bit, but did some decorating/furnishing today and added a whole bunch of "nook" storage, like you can see behind the blue curtains in the kitchen pic. Also finished the lower entrance and all the carpeting, and all of the roof trim.

The last shot (assuming Discord doesn't bork the order of the thumbnails) is an overhead of said roof so you can see how it's laid out.

[raven wagon]

It's all about floors!
Why don't floors get the love they deserve? Because they're used to being walked all over. Few people give them a second thought, but there's a WIDE variety you can do with some trial and error.

[pliant hare]

Put a room under it.

Walls should be a bit taller, and have some more decoration before meeting the floor, But I couldn't be bothered. Ceiling and floor are both annoying to build.

[jade lichen]

My little base in the Plains. Never built anything bigger than a 4x4 house so this was fun to do.

[raw jetty]

this game is so good visually

[misty gust]

plains base up and running, but not finished
... not very defensible yet

[drifting palm]

This one kinda took a while.

[sharp olive]

a lot HP

[iron schooner]

just a starting house

[strong lark]

Yea, that is because of epic loot. a mod. I should have posted the image in #mods-screenshots

[uneven prawn]

Hey wait, it's a giant sword... and... nothing happened.

Smiffe needs to come and explain this

[sharp quarry]

20x20 pyramid. I call it Giza

[red beacon]

Pretty basic outside but I might wait for Ashlands to go live

Still my favourite base I did with friend

[umbral fractal]

first building in the ashlands playthrough, im thinking about doing a village each biome. excited to play

simple but fun, i found a island not far from the starting island that would be perfect to take over, i plan on building a bridge over to it when i get a bronze axe and then ill start building a small meadows village/area

[sour storm]

Our Vallheim village with a big forge, kitchen, barn and a townhall 🦧

[maiden furnace]

How'd you make that cloak?

[maiden furnace]

Humble builder

[hasty sand]

ice hockey mountain, first solobase, church

[noble lava]

I like your stadium (arena) on the first picture. Is there any video or something that how you do that?

[hasty sand]

except for how i made the ice there isnt much special about it. in order to have no visible gaps you need to overlap the floorparts which is a hustle

[light edge]

this is the start of my new base, do you have any ideas for buildings?

[meager pond]

My 750+ days single play

[stuck kraken]

@maiden furnace its just a feather cape and an eitr hood thats all lol

[maiden furnace]

oh...

[hasty sand]

here you go....the Sword is the symbol of battle. i believed its quite suitable next to an arena with a beasthouse, a prison, several miniports and an octagon cage
of course the fence in the center can be lowered into the ground

[uneven prawn]

It was a poke at @elfin oar - there was a discussion about how a giant sword stabbed the world in WoW and nothing really happened... and if that happened in Valheim, it would change the world dramatically - seeing the giant sword you made reminded me of that convo 🙂

Awesome build, btw - I love it!

[vocal fern]

[vocal fern]

that arena is so cool it looks like a sick nordic version of the Hippodrome of Constantinople

Damn, I just do a quick glance over builds

[jade lichen]

The pic was taken from a far and well im blind so i had to zoom in 🤭

[jade lichen]

Nah but this is sick! Gj 👏🏽

[elfin fractal]

anyone know how i can improve my build?

[blissful oxide]

Overhang the roof a bit beyond the wall.

[vocal fern]

and adding some some arches to the windows makes them look less blocky

[elfin fractal]

At the front?

[elfin fractal]

Stone or dark wood?

What do you think would look better? Also I thought about that but I'm not too sure where about on the window to put them, I'll give it a shot tho

[elfin fractal]

Should I use 45° or 26°

[blissful oxide]

Either or you'll need to play around with it also play around with the amount of overhang.

[elfin fractal]

do you guys think this looks any better?

also if you have more ideas please lmk and thanks

[exotic grail]

What about a raised porch along the outside of the upper floor?

[viral nexus]

That's a lot of boats

[elfin fractal]

Wdym?

[exotic grail]

Something like this maybe

35k instances on Xbox series X on quality settings, minor stuttering but actually impressive, basically the same as my pc

[paper rover]

[hasty sand]

my issue would be why someone who has a PC switches to Xbox and rebuilds. But whatever ppl like/decide they gonna do anyways.

[manic mauve]

Show me something impressive

Pc players are so toxic it’s unreal 😂

[viral nexus]

10x better than my 2015 xbox one awesome build

[viral nexus]

Lol nah, but 30 kinda is i get about 10 fps on my 9 year old xbox 😂

But i generally play off game pass mobile, and get about 70 fps max casting from my phone to my tv on cloud gaming

Which really works decently tbh

[viral nexus]

I really dig that pattern with the stone floor and cobbled ground on that porch

[lime glen]

great progress in the personal project of industrial port citadel There is still so much left, so much to do and so many new pieces that will come in the future. I'm still waiting for a larger door, perhaps 4x2 for the outer wall. I haven't even started yet xd. little by little it is built

Resumed my work on this monstrosity 😄 Last night it took me 2hrs just to fill storage building with shelves 😄
I plan to upload it for anyone to explore when i finish, i tend to build more for wall through experience than for screenshots :]

[red remnant]

finally put the roof over after building with a friend, day 77 and it came together so well

[hasty sand]

vanilla magicians will recognize

and a last one.

[frosty birch]

That all looks awesome, but it looks like that last screenshot has some of the new Ashlands pieces in it... you mind keeping spoilers out of these channels until the full release? You can share those shots in #valheim-public-test if you want

[hasty sand]

none of those are done with ashlands, o m not taking part in the publictesting.

[frosty birch]

Ohh... sorry, those looked like some of the new pieces with the lighting 😅 Looks great. Can't wait to see what you do with the expanded build set when it drops.

[hasty sand]

no worries, i love Pitabred 😉 planning to rebuild at least one map from the QuakeShooter Series

still WIP
gonna redo the farms
and the smithing place
it was built before i went to the plains, quite outdated now :P

[somber mango]

my first big building project in this game
wanted to do a longhouse

[frosty birch]

Once it hits full release we can post them here with spoilers, and you can post them to the beta channels if you want and discuss them there 🙂

[somber mango]

nyehehehehe theres ptb content in that base
its all inside!
or out of view!

nice, i`ll pasta this over 2 major rivers i need navigable. Continue my highway

[astral spindle]

Do it! I enjoyed building it and am happy with how it turned out.

[gaunt hearth]

playing around with the styles of the signs to get big letters out of them with "protection" runes for my kitchen... Vanilla server

[radiant mural]

That looks great. How do you get the big letters?

[clever turret]

Heh...

[signal belfry]

does this style of farm still work?

[astral spindle]

Gorgeous! I'm not that talented.

[clever turret]

its a complicated mess

[wintry silo]

Is under the base hollow or all solid of rock/earth?

[viral nexus]

Pretty sure folks still do it

[signal belfry]

the problem was turnips

[gaunt hearth]

The text you write on the sign adds a SIZE tag like this:<size=100> where the number, in this case 100, is the one you modify to your liking. As an example, I leave you the following text:<voffset=-15em><size=30><#EC407A> I am the text of the sign

[grand parcel]

Any1 got any suggestions on how you can make the floor look decent here... planks just end up looking terrible with the overlap when getting to the middle

[true prawn]

I am not sure I can explain this well. One thing that I have done is place the floor like normal in the center with no overlap. I would then raise the outer ring with the help of one manually placed floor piece. Creates a small step from the outer ring to the center adding a little depth to the floor.

[hybrid blade]

The overlap is inevitable when you start building in circles. The best suggestion I can give you is to place rugs or carpets over the overlaps @grand parcel

[grand parcel]

Alright cheers guys, just wanted to make sure I wasnt being a moron

[true prawn]

Made a quick example @grand parcel

Limits overlap to just the outer ring floor pieces.

[grand parcel]

I see yeah, it just cant look as smooth as hoped for, but thanks for showing me!

[frosty birch]

Looks awesome, but please put it in the #valheim-public-test channel. No spoilers or beta content in the public channels until it's released 🙂

[distant crescent]

[dire parcel]

a tower in ashlands from before

[drifting palm]

Its solid, raised earth. I have a different version with an undercroft, but this has a solid foundation, because of where its at. The waves cap only 1 block down from the platform surface during a storm, so i didnt want to build anything that would be underwater at times.

[radiant sandal]

My starter house

[umbral fractal]

made a little bbq area next to my boars, this bird really wanted to check it out but little did he know i didnt have anything to bbq

thanks birdy

nothin like a long day collecting iron and smelting over night. i like how this blacksmith area turned out

i like how the builds commin along, ive missed this game. still lots to build and explore.. still need a dock. hope everyones havin fun

Are you playing ashlands PTR ? Those buggy green lines are actually the borders between zones, can be very usefull to know which are active zones depending on your position !

[somber mango]

i am yes

[viral nexus]

Kind of a tacky look though lol

[cedar umbra]

When you've got some wood, what's your go-to crafting project? Definitely an axe! — Enhance the blade with fiery trophy effects to make the new "sculpture" stand out even more.

[devout sonnet]

how do you do thatn in vanilla?

[cedar umbra]

After a day of adventuring with friends, what's the first thing you do? Grab a drink, of course! ——— We settled on an island and built some "sculptures" to conceal the exposed workbenches. This is one of them.😜

[umbral fractal]

the island is comming along

finished the bridge to, was debating on a roof but i kinda like the weathered look

eventually it will all get wet, hopefully

[vestal whale]

What those of us who turn off rain damage usually do when we want weathering is to hit a piece once with the pickaxe.

I don't believe that the horizontal beams touching stone will weather, so you may have to do that. Could be wrong; Valheim is weird about that sometimes.

[humble pond]

that looks amazing bro

[viral nexus]

The diagonal beams also don't take weather damage iirc. Not sure if they'll take water damage from the waves, but they might. But yeh hitting them would be a bit faster and more reliable.

[vestal whale]

I think they might take damage from being submerged, but I believe you're correct about the rain--all the diagonal beams, as I recall, effectively function like roof pieces.

They provide shelter below and don't take rain damage.

[umbral fractal]

ill keep that in mind!

looks like i have some more work to do 😉

[sick oasis]

My coop world plains base is coming together well, just need to sort up the inside and maybe expand enough for a smelter building attachment
Waiting for the trees to grow before building was a pain

[umbral fractal]

theres gotta be a easier way x.x lolol

[vestal whale]

Not really, no, I'm afraid--damage it yourself or let it happen automatically if it does, those are the options.

It's not really an issue for me, because I almost never actually want wood to look decayed, and when I do I can choose to make it that way. But I imagine it'd be a pain if you had a big bridge or something you wanted that way.

[hearty raft]

Still a work in progress

[umbral fractal]

yeah i usually dont like the look, but it looks good for a big long bridge, you guys were right and the wood connected to the concrete isnt turning so time to finess some pickaxeing

[summer verge]

[past bobcat]

Still a work in progress

[somber mango]

nifty
but
how many ships do you need!?

[viral nexus]

All of them

[warped mural]

Every time I start the game, I say to myself.. just a small place is all I need..

[clever turret]

every crafting station needs its own building

[warped mural]

I build buildings inside buildings.. why,... not a clue

[clever turret]

to protek

[warped mural]

russian doll syndrome i call it

[tepid sedge]

Glass or Divider?

[fervent quartz]

I chose Divider because looking at the glass reflection from a distance makes me feel a little unnatural.

[teal tinsel]

finally finished the scuffest roof ever

dont mind the iron beams 💀

[grand parcel]

Progress on my portal room, had the idea to use a oak as the center piece

[viral lintel]

Farmhouse with tower

my cool idea for the furnaces

[grand parcel]

Day and night of the finished product, quite happy with it!

[viral nexus]

It looks a lot smaller from the outside than from the inside

[merry gale]

Finished my little Viking fortress thing

[strong flame]

we bit restored the tower 🫠

[merry gale]

Made another gif for it to get a better picture of it

[oblique bane]

How do you even set up in the black forest? don't you get constant "visitors"?

[merry gale]

I built in creative so enemies were no big deal

[oblique bane]

ah, darn, cause seeing that lighting really makes me wana make a survival base in the black forest

[vestal whale]

It's easily doable. You just have to spawnproof and build a wall and/or moat.

[merry gale]

Everything but the foliage is possible to make

[sick hound]

Nice pic, with the rain and all... Mine is a forever WIP...

[merry gale]

I feel your pain, thats why I turned to creative

[strong flame]

i did it without using a creative

[merry gale]

Reasonable, everytime I don't use creative I just make really detailed builds and constantly use up all my resources

[sick hound]

My pc does not run the game smoothly near my base, where the wall is, and I cannot stand playing on 15fps any longer

I have around 10 black metal of stones, but not the fps to finish it '-' (too many instances)

[north thunder]

While it is a build copy, it looks so pretty

[merry gale]

What are the windows made from? Also yes

[north thunder]

Stools 😂, 9 per window

[merry gale]

Interesting

Expensive

[north thunder]

Yes, but worth it (and I had the fine wood laying about)

[merry gale]

The only things that I know how to build are houses and taverns, all you really need as a viking

[north thunder]

I had a black metal chest half full of core+fine just sitting around, so it seemed fun
My house was too cluttered with portals

[strong flame]

fenris + feather cape, nice gear

[north thunder]

Easier to run around and get mats needed for builds compared to carapace

[strong flame]

im using mage set with carapace helmet, bcz at mistlands using fenris doesn't provide much for survival

[north thunder]

Yeah, I only run it when I'm rabbit hunting
Now than, time for the kitchen

[blissful oxide]

tower fortress almost complete

[gritty tide]

Brilliant. How did you change the tombstone names to their labels?

[errant spruce]

create a new character with that name. put items in your inventory. stand where you want the tombstone to be and type /die. just remember to put a lot of items in as many slots as you can, otherwise the next person to click on the tombstone will cause all of the items to go into their inventory and the tombstone will disappear. so I just split the stacks and put 1 item per slot lol

[gritty tide]

Wow, might have to steal that on the next playthrough

[errant spruce]

it's hilarious. why even waste resources on blackmetal chest when you can just use a tombstone? and you can have more than 1 lol

[lavish agate]

divider will let the breeze in 😉

[distant crescent]

New gateway to my main base

[little haven]

this reminds me of my mountain castle, it was lost to a corrupted map file ages ago. love the castle up on the hill looking impregnable.

[merry gale]

Thats intense, I love it

[merry gale]

Just built this because I needed to learn how to make a longhouse with basic builds

[sick oasis]

I got a little carried away

[wheat shale]

Love it!!!

[north thunder]

Finished my kitchen, man it took so much black marble (and metal for the storage in the back)

[north thunder]

Forgot about the interior, 4 stoves, 4 fermenters, 2 cooking pots, 1 iron cooker, and 24 black metal chests in the back

[sullen blade]

Starter.

Still a work in progress late game:

[stiff owl]

Want to learn together? I just built a similar simple longhouse too, meant as an early game longhouse that gets continuously upgraded through out the game.
And well, your looks epic in comparison, while mine is bigger, yours is prettier by a lot. I ll se if I can get a screenshot.

[merry gale]

I built a tavern too in relativly the same design

[stiff owl]

How do i do free camera? Thats my second longhouse, the other one is too monstrously huge. I wanted to build it completely from wood. The stone only functions to simulate the ground i was too lazy to perfectly flatten

Its just the structure, no decorations yet

[merry gale]

If you type "Freefly" into the console

[stiff owl]

thank you

[merry gale]

You could also just change some of the roofs to the 26 degree one to give it the arched roof

[stiff owl]

I experimented with giving teh backside middle part the 26 degrees roofs, well didnt work too well, But you gave me an idea

[vague badger]

Progress on my base on my server for our Ashlands playthrough is coming along nicely

Gonna do a castle on top with the new building mats, super stoked to test out the new pieces

[merry gale]

radical

[clever turret]

A typical small mist outpost, exploring for brains.

[safe shell]

Fairly new to building but I had fun making a stone base in the mountains.

Few more of the inside

[tepid sedge]

Anyone know what to do with those gaps in the wall? It would be a waste if I were just to cover them, right?
No storage, I already have a storage/workshop house.

[zinc ridge]

you coulld use core wood logs looks pretty cool

[tepid sedge]

I know but I was thinking of using the space instead of just covering them with walls.

[zinc ridge]

you could try to stack 50 stacks of materals up there ???

[tepid sedge]

Finally finished my three-story house! This is a replacement for my previous longhouse which I didn't like that much. I'm in love with this one now!

This build took me a while because of work but today is my rest day. In total I think I spent around 11-13 hours (calculated based on my Steam play time) on this build including the 5 hours I spent on it today. I didn't spend all the time building though since I had to gather Tar.

The longhouse/previous house is the last image.

What do you think?

[idle imp]

I'm really NOT a good exterior designer

[charred atlas]

Awesome looking!

[safe shell]

Thanks!!

Newest thing I'm working towards is a base down South for the Ashlands, still pretty new here.

[charred atlas]

That looks cool too, I love a plains base, I think its the biome that the most crops will grow in.

[brittle pike]

Using Ashlands build pieces means you need to add the spoiler tag. Actually, any stuff from the Public Test shouldn't be posted here at all according to the pinned message.

[vague badger]

I love building in the mountains, the atmosphere is just great, I only hate when I build my base too big and the snowstorms prevent me from seeing the entire thing 😂

[safe shell]

I know what you mean

[vague badger]

Yep, exactly that lmao

Does clipping ovens cause problems?

[jade lichen]

No

I use the oven to sleep in one build

Delete. Enough posting spoilers from the PTB.

[sly hedge]

Please keep PTB content in PTB channels.

Same for you

[grand parcel]

What I've been working on recently, trying to make it a bigger village, got lots of plans still.
But not having entered mistlands on this server knowing I want to use some of the stuff from there holds me back a little, and having to collect a lot more tar aswell

[gentle aspen]

book shelf. posting it because i love how they look

[tepid sedge]

How's my kitchen?

[sturdy edge]

Functionally not the best but looks good!

[tepid sedge]

Everything is accessible though.

[sturdy edge]

But a little slow

I guess i am just used to more stations since i play multiplayer

[dense terrace]

I like it, it looks really cozy 🥰

[tepid sedge]

Added trims and dormers to the roof

[gritty tide]

This is crazy, that looks great. are those item stands? I'm def going to put one somewhere

[civic glade]

How did you make those spiral stairs? Look so good!

[pastel tide]

Mistlands furniture

[civic glade]

Oh, thanks! Haven't got there yet 😄

[sacred sluice]

my latest build:
a Meeting Hall at a Portal Hub Hill
just a round build with some fancy windows, a nice sofa and some special glowing effects in the dark 😉
you can watch the walkthrough here: https://youtu.be/TSWuootL7f8

[viral nexus]

Those are signs placed close together

[viral nexus]

Console 2 is definitely the best controller set up imo. Also nice place

[misty flower]

most of the screenshots are so far beyond anything I could design

[misty flower]

how long did it take you to learn to build like that?

[vapid seal]

it take a while of just building and changing your designs to get to the result that you like.

key is to stick to the build for as long as it takes

[misty flower]

I guess that makes sense. I always thought people just got it right on the first try

[heady coral]

lot of practice, gotta visualize what you are aiming for as your putting the pieces down and terraforming

[idle imp]

My kitchen

[peak torrent]

What could be built in here to make it more interesting. This is a path on a bridge-part im building.

[peak torrent]

Thx

[gentle aspen]

This image taught me how to properly make those arched out roofs on regular domicile faces

[south flume]

incredible roofs!!!

[north ermine]

It all started with a wood iron beam 45º frame that looked something like this.

[north ermine]

Thank you.

[left blade]

my village 🙂 This is only like a quarter of it 😆

[jade lichen]

i built this for my first base forgetting that im probably gonna move soon

[faint kindle]

The base is ready

[tepid sedge]

What do you think of this bedroom?

[south flume]

bright and airy, but also looks cozy! well done!

[viral nexus]

Built during the ashlands play test

[zenith wasp]

Ashland zone is amazing most of the other content in this update is great to, BUT base build pieces are unfinished, all ashland build parts lack texture and are flat, so so flat, even some decor looks super unfinished, just look at the comparisons. I love Valheims visual style but these pieces are definitely not it. And they are way to shiny.

Only exception is flametal parts, they look good and fits in to logic. also from the Ashland structures example we can se that they know how to make way BETTER textures. Current build pieces and some objects looks super RUSHED

I take it as a face slap for any decent builder out there 🥲 but i hope DEVS will fix this after they take some well deserved rest. Just announce that you will fix it :] @elfin oar you are my message carrier here, i don't know other names except dvoid 😄

[elfin oar]

what's the problem tho?

[zenith wasp]

Just quality control, there is obvious lack of it 😄

[elfin oar]

🥲

[zenith wasp]

I assume its just because of lack of time or burnout, because zone itself looks amazing :]

[viral nexus]

Literally nothing lol

[zenith wasp]

That's how progress is stopped, well i tried 👍

[viral nexus]

Tried what?

[elfin oar]

❤️

[tall trail]

A lot of people have complained about the flat textures and how they feel out of place. Maybe they’re wrong, but given the volume perhaps more of a response/explanation could be given than a lack of acknowledgement and emojis?

[paper rover]

The pieces are too polished (flat) and have a uniform bad texture, it would be surprising to hear that the same people made it as the ones who made the basic stone pieces for example. Hoping that they will be fixed, this has been echoed by so many builders.

The random alignment and rustic nature of the original stone pieces is one of the main things that made this game's style stand out in the first place at release, attracting many builders who could appreciate art and style. And 4 years later you let down those same dedicated builders by adding pieces that look like legos/plastic, or something from a mobile game.

[zenith wasp]

that's just excuses :] and this comes from a hardcore fan of this game 🤷

[viral nexus]

Cool story bro

[paper rover]

if they have issues with it, just fix it instead of abandoning the feature

[zenith wasp]

exactly

[paper rover]

every other stone/marble piece in the game has either some 3d cracks or random alignment, and definitely has good and random textures

[zenith wasp]

what are these PPL with "FLAME" names???

[paper rover]

You can't make an excuse for having a bad 2d texture, also it's been made clear that the dev team is ridiculously bad with technical optimizations (sorry guys), but please put in some more effort before release and not just duct tape solution everything always.

[zenith wasp]

yes we as fans can wait, and we can forgo some issues, but that's until certain threshold 🤷 im here from alpha, actively participated in beta testing and encouraged every friend to buy this game, and now i see very sketchy behavior 🤷 well lets not rage to much, im sure there will be much more back lash 😄

[paper rover]

They have their own pace, if they fix these things before the full release in like 2027, I guess I'll take it

[zenith wasp]

well i cant argue with that 😄 add some decent MODs and this game is a beast still :]

[robust vessel]

Hi, during the ashlands PTB i stopped playing to rebuild my entire base cuz i wanted something a little more professional. I never been good in building in videogames so i just had to started learning valheims mechanics, and after a lot of hours this is the (almost) the finished result. Theres some terrain modification and structure decoration to do but for now i like it.

I started 04/25/2024(day 680 in game)-Ended today(day 988)

This was the house before

And now this the result of the house. i added the animals and plants farm too

[zenith wasp]

Nice architecture, well done :]

[vapid seal]

thank you

[jade lichen]

got the frame and roof for my new house down

[cold wharf]

Let's try this again. I built a thing. #1202313396356128808BOTM 😄

[viral nexus]

Looks great, although botm isn't pulled from discord lol

[cold wharf]

I know. X only lets me post 4 pics just to prove it's a silly platform.

[rose bluff]

Well said. I love the shape of the new build pieces but texture is lacking on ash wood and grausten for me also.

[vague badger]

been waiting so long to start my castle on my server with the new ashlands mats, what a great day in Valheim it will be

[jade lichen]

im not the best builder but home is home

[vague badger]

hell yeah it is! Valheim was the game that taught me how to build. Idk how many nights i spent just experimenting with things lol

[upper comet]

Hello dear community, I want to show you my winter house

It only has 1 bedroom xd

[viral nexus]

Tbf there is a lot of stone in the way lol but looks awesome

[upper comet]

It is very difficult to build due to natural unevenness >_<

[vague badger]

the top edging and glass windows give it a very modern look up top, i like it

[odd pewter]

main city and one bridge at a different location

did a lil custom grave point of interest

[south flume]

love the way you've used glass! looks like a bond villain lair

[south flume]

really loving that tower, and how you've used the new build pieces - the contrast between the smooth texture and the coarse stone really makes those lines pop

[glacial kernel]

are people building these things in story mode? thats so much material!!

[remote arch]

Hey guys, my 1st Ashlands build is done.

Full vid of this build here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w6nikBIkiRY

[sweet wigeon]

Holy moly man you’re a pro, how did you get that rock formation for the base in that first picture?

[subtle knoll]

First proper build in this game (ignore the health was building for ages xD)

Full house between me and a friend

[viral nexus]

Raise ground with hoe

[jade lichen]

Awesome work, that chimney is sick

[sweet wigeon]

Dang I need to try that, looks so cool

[deep flint]

A little fun with building after a trip to Ashlands

[rose bluff]

This is one of the best builds I’ve seen using ash wood and grausten together in an organic way

[rough crow]

Looking forward to see what the ashlands has in store for me

[zenith wasp]

Another perfect example how, out of place, new build pieces look. Especially in the interiors 😐

[fiery bluff]

My first try with new building pieces
I must say they give a tones of new possibilities

[odd pewter]

This one is rock3_mountain in commands. Just did cut off the top part to make a beacon. So i dont need to refuel it, its made out of several surtlingtrophys placed on the groundholders.

[sweet wigeon]

Wait you can place rocks in commands? How do you do that?

Also what are surtling trophys and ground holders?

[odd pewter]

how far are u in the game?

[vapid seal]

honest opinion pls

[viral nexus]

It looks like a solid start to something cool

[viral nexus]

@sly hamlet here's one way, from some experimenting i did in the beta for ashlands

[jade lichen]

i think i may have built my dock a little too low

[lethal yoke]

Easy to get in and out of the boats

[jade lichen]

the floors were starting to get water damage when the tide gets higher

i made it a little bit higher

[weary jacinth]

Not really an immersive background, but I'm prepping this build to upload the Blueprint on Valheimians, so clearing out the clutter. Started out as pre Ashlands Portal Hub, but I couldn't help myself because I've been wanting a piece like that for soooo long. Also everything in the screenshots is vanilla and will be buildable through the blueprint (that's what I'm testing now at least). Placement obv is not. Edit: download link: https://www.valheimians.com/build/black-marble-portal-hub-with-a-hint-of-ashlands-modded-but-vanilla-friendly/

[weary jacinth]

I would have been happy if you just highlighted the well 😛

Just a me thing ^^ Seeing someone place a well in my first real play made me go: I WANT TO DO THAT TOO! (building and sharing) - screenshot is from when I still used a texture mod.

[wise snow]

Welp, I completed my temple after 3 months of work:

https://youtu.be/afxIBzuBI3U?si=e-p-amqSqiZWGTzK

The music is my voice, my lyre (which I made myself last year), and a frame drum. Throat singing got some of those deeper and higher sounds.

This thing practically drank forests when I was building it lol

[lost pendant]

Ashlands builds next on the list 😬… has anyone converted one of the new fortress’s into a base?

[wise snow]

I love your winding city wall! It is beautiful.

[polar dome]

it's like that scene in world war z

[umbral fractal]

added a tree house that will eventually be my rested buff area, the island is lookin spiffy

[sturdy edge]

Are you sure you can fit all of the furniture in there?

[umbral fractal]

\

only one way to find out, i can always extend it up another floor to, that or build a balcony, maybe a stairset up to a loft area thats even higher? idk so many ideas

could be multi leveled or extend it wider

[sturdy edge]

I would build under the existing structure. It just seems like the only logical way

[umbral fractal]

added a chimney, as far as trying to fit everything, ill tackle that as i see fit. cool just having a tree house

chimney made it look better i think

[jade lichen]

built this ship house and road to my portal fortress this week end. Need to make it less square in the future

[tepid sedge]

Ahhh, I thought I crashed the game

[charred sapphire]

cool little building i made in the plains!! still not finished tho

[zenith wasp]

try lox rugs next and you will succeed 😄

[tepid sedge]

Small tower on an island. This took 5+ hours.

[ornate galleon]

My second creative ashlands build is finally "done"! It's the Dragon's Tavern inside the Black Forest, close to Haldor's location. On the first floor there are enough tables for any tired adventures and delicious food you can buy from the barkeeper. On the second floor there are also 4 guest rooms you can rent if you want to stay longer. Inside the structure of the roof there is also a little resting place for the barkeep. On the side of the house there's a shield generator, keeping the pesky rain away! (just for information this build was done with devcommands)

[astral spindle]

Need some help - can't seem to figure out outside corners with Grausten materials.

[clever turret]

this is very nice & subtle

[past shale]

Grausten doesn't have outside roof corners iirc

[umbral spindle]

Zulug420 has a nice guide on YouTube it confused me at the start too lol

Just started the game two days ago (first time player). With around 7 hours in and the first boss down, this is my first Base and location I'll try to fortify and stuff. Water is really close nearby, but also the black forest 😅
The plan is to fortify with the help of the stones and build more buildings on the outside of it, but haven't thought more about that

[weak carbon]

Found one of those "give thanks" runestones so I turned it into a shrine 🙂
