[toxic meadow]

i did the same thing (using the pillars as roof) with a rounded roof, best rounded roof i got to make so far

[dim sierra]

Made a quick portal room, even for a beginner builder i say i did a good job

Might add connecting beams on the pillars so it looks nicer

[merry epoch]

Bro I wish I was as good of a beginner builder

My builds are just box, functionality over form amiright

[dim sierra]

building in valheim is a process that i like, i can see some not liking it, but even if its a box, its still a home

even so, the protal room took about 2 days to finish

[fleet kelp]

Cozy cabin. Not sure I'm 100% happy with it, open to any suggestions

Added cross beams around the bottom, I think I like it.

[outer totem]

Can’t really fault it for a meadows tier build. Maybe just clear out space around it so when you need a forge or kitchen you can build it there

[fleet kelp]

Yeah, I kind of want dedicated building for that kind of stuff. Like a blacksmith building and a kitchen. Kind of want to progress from a lone cabin to a small town.

[outer totem]

Yeah that’s always the coolest. Just make sure you dream big instead of small, in a couple of my worlds I find myself cramming new buildings into a space that’s too small

[outer totem]

[final karma]

made a new house on a small island next the plains

[fleet kelp]

Added a little second roof over the porch.

[outer totem]

Are you new to Valheim?

[outer totem]

Not trying to be a dick was just asking

[fleet kelp]

No, I have like 300 hours or so, Im just not a good builder.

[outer totem]

Nah you’re sound mate, just keep with that same sort of vibe when building the rest. As soon as you get a stonecutter you’ll be able to fully express yourself

[honest bloom]

I began to build my base right next to the boar runestone, and that's where I raise boar. I also venture into the Black Forest from there.

I also have a small base on one island in a set of 3, where I hunt deer, and set sail from on my raft.

Very early game, btw...just sayin.

[merry epoch]

Looks like a nice base

[honest bloom]

Its mostly functional, at least. 😅

[merry epoch]

Thats the way I build 🤷‍♂️

[honest bloom]

Nice.
I'll tell ya what, tho.

The roof on the chimney you might be able to see in the background there...that thing was a wicked hassle to build. 🤣

[red hill]

Once you get a knack for ground leveling and roofing you're practically a master builder

[clever turret]

symetric building is a bit tricky, less with some math but overall achievable with some pre-calculations. Asymmetric is more challenging, following the topography is even more challenging

[final karma]

made a portal tower and a more proper dock

[daring egret]

building this norman style castle in survival mode. its a long way to go

[fluid verge]

#building-screenshots message Added upper gatehouse tower...

[torpid igloo]

I just started a world, of course I will make a house first, before even havin basic stuff

[north elk]

My first base in the game

[fleet kelp]

You should add 1m overhangs to the flat sides of your roof

[gentle aspen]

put storage closer to the docks/workshops. you'll thank me later

[north parrot]

Love this, looks very authentic 💪🏼💪🏼. Slight shame the machicolations are only decorative, but impossible to build genuinely functioning ones without the wall looking odd due to block sizes on Valheim I think, unless anyone has managed it

[oblique swallow]

Is this big enough or am I going to be cramped?

[viral nexus]

Seems like a prime spot to me

[daring egret]

thanks 🙂 yeah the size of the blocks is an issue. these ones are functional and look somewhat good but the overall building scale needs to be massive to allow these machicolations to fit in. maybe sinking them into the wall half a meter could help.

[minor salmon]

love it both ways. with/wo 2nd roof 👍🏽

[dusty kindle]

Is there any way to eliminate the puddles of water that are created when it rains?

[daring egret]

looks like its groundwater / sealevel. You can try removing the puddle using the hoe to level the ground

[honest bloom]

Man, too bad this base got destroyed by a troll today, and all my boars smashed to death.

Really glad I have that main base on my island after that, ngl.

[dense bluff]

i just had to make a rounded building, didn't i...? xD

[honest bloom]

I built a nice little sitting/work/gathering area around a campfire when I realized I could make sitting logs from corewood...Unfortunately, however, I have no friends to gather around the fire with. 🥲

[jovial moss]

Hello, I just wanted to share a castle my friend and I built

[true fox]

Is there a chat where I could dumb down lore for the builds I would like to share ?

[indigo dust]

probably #building-discussion? or here, Don forget to attach screenshots along with the lore so is not only text. Now I'm curious what you will post hehe

[digital goblet]

My builds look like, aesthetically good, but I want them to look more realistic like some of the stuff here and I'm bad at that

Good at pretty. Bad at realism. Or well proportioned interiors. Ugh.

[dusty kindle]

Even if the floor level rises, puddles of water continue to form.

[heady slate]

I assume building videos can go here as well as screenshots?

[half flume]

i think its ground fog(?) or dos it makes splashing sounds when jumping in?
normaly there is no grass under the water, shown in 1st picture - besides bog waves gushing over

[vague grotto]

it is fog

[heady slate]

So this was my first time building anything of note with Grausten. Recorded this for my friend originally but wanted to show this off, super happy with how this came out (side note btw this isn't modded or anything other than the character model)

oh, and actually i remember why I came up with that half circle arch design pattern on the side

it was to cover up the stone portal slightly sticking outside the wall haha. So instead of re-designing the building to be bigger, just had to think of a clever way to hide it

[vague grotto]

smart

[oblique swallow]

Dock too high?

[heady slate]

haha maybe! during storms the waves tend to get higher but, could always make some stone stairs coming down off the side for easier access

[oblique swallow]

Why roof tiles instead of stairs?

[robust kettle]

they are immune to water damage

[quartz hearth]

I love the juxtaposition of the fantastically detailed castle next to the no effort dock 😅

[oblique swallow]

good enough for now I think

[robust kettle]

"small dock energy"

[dusty kindle]

How would they make this roof?

[woven grotto]

my humble home, returning from legacy

[outer totem]

That looks cool, looks like what I try to do when making my first base

[woven grotto]

just check ocean levels during storms, my lower floor floods when storms come in 😅

[woven grotto]

my mooring solution to prevent storm damage, only the 45s have to be removed to release the ship

[outer totem]

Yeah that’s always a problem, very hard to get right

Super cool, awesome staircase and nice arches all around. Well done! Wish the crystal windows would melt into eachother more.

[viscid imp]

after seeing everyone elses builds its not much but its my first go at a castle on this game

I told my friend that we needed wood for smelting, and she's new.

[blazing thunder]

I told my friend we needed a lot of wood and he said "aight bet brb". Little did I know he was going to bring back 2 trolls and deforest all the beautiful trees around us for a quarter mile lmao.

Genuinely confused at the reactions lol, the build really that bad?

[vague grotto]

I liked it

[heady slate]

Thanks lol. Never used Grausten before so, was a lot of trial and error to figure out if I was even using it the "right" way lol. Snapping points are insane on these pieces.

[frigid yarrow]

its not the build lol, i just dislike the furry

[haughty sage]

I like it. Some people react to anything mod related even if it's not the build. Grausten isn't easy to build with so that being the first build with it, you did great

[jaunty adder]

will build smt like on-water castle nearby

[weak scaffold]

What you guys think of my archery range ?

[fallen swallow]

yo nice base but there seems to be too many hills

[rich atlas]

I like it, it's good, I need to build one myself here soon.

[fleet fractal]

Hey folks, so I made this building and the interior is a work in progress, a mix between a living quarters and working area for the blacksmith. Thing is though, buddy said it looks ugly and he can't tell if it's supposed to be a home or a castle. Anybody else have some insights? I asked him to elaborate more but he won't go further than that.

One more for good measure of the upstairs.

[misty fractal]

Large red sign (in the center of the portal) looks like a flat colour with reduced translucency after the Update 😔

[calm oriole]

I think it looks great, and I dont understand your friend's comment, but I do think that some added detail on that big section of roof would be nice. Just a gable or chimney or something.

[hollow path]

Your buddy has no taste, then! A castle is, by definition, also a home - a fortified structure and a residence 🙂

[lethal phoenix]

I think it looks great, a little large for my tastes but fill in the interior and that should help

[fervent hornet]

WIP still, but I'm really liking the ability to place stones with hoe.

[jaunty adder]

I think you need the stone cutter for this?

[viral nexus]

Recently

[fervent hornet]

You can place them with a hoe.

[hollow path]

Since the pet rock update

[visual smelt]

Built a little training area.

[humble rapids]

I know I’m a bit late to this but this is actually gorgeous. One of the most beautiful structures I’ve seen made in Valheim.

[jaunty adder]

make a chill outpost on my tower (i will be in iron debt)

Exited to get to the ash lands to start building with materials there especially with the new roof tiles

This my other castle in the dark forest

[hollow path]

I mean I love it but it should go in mods screenshots

[dawn cipher]

The building, so I mixed it up, sorry

[jaunty adder]

done with roofing

also made some improvements to main hall

[iron quiver]

this is my foundry. i feel like it should have some form of roof or ornamentation on the tops of the walls but im out of ideas.

[stuck sierra]

Made a cabin as an outpost for starting to get into the black forest. Any feedback or tips would be greatly appreciated - trying to find my style a bit 🙂 Maybe went overboard with roof crosses...

[jaunty adder]

what i should build here ? prefer clearly cosmetic

[woven copper]

A defendable gate to stop any invaders from pillaging

[surreal sage]

exploring and building bases in the middle of nowhere are my 2 favorite things in this game 🙂

[sinful hamlet]

took me about 3 month to build this seaside citadel

still working on interiors and some other parts of the build

[frozen pebble]

Hope no one plans to chop the tree down. 😵‍💫

[steel marsh]

I ain't waiting on Deep North for steep roofs. I'm making my own. 😅
no building mods used

[jaunty adder]

[frozen pebble]

I plan on revamping my base, right now looks basic amateurish built

[steel marsh]

Just follow some guides online on how to add depth to your walls, remember to always have roof overhangs, and don't be afraid to try shapes other than just a big rectangle for your base shape. And have fun while you're at it.😁
I had to tear down and redo the shapes on the roof and the wall decor on this house a few times until I got it to a point I was satisfied with.

And don't shy away from taking inspiration from stuff you find. I personaly took inspiration from this pic I found online. Don't even know where it's from, but I liked the roof shape and wanted to try it out.

[sand condor]

Looks amazing!

[sand condor]

Go you, that building is amazing. I am working on a castle atm but after seeing some of the churches and cathedrals I want to pivot to that

This is what I am working on

Gotten this far at the moment. Not sure I am happy or not yet

[clever turret]

working on a bastion to link my future Theodosian walls and claim them whole peninsula

[stuck sierra]

Working on a meadows house, but I get the feeling something is off/missing with the overall shape. Anyone got ideas?
(X marks the intended entrance spot, and the lower roof I thought would be an open wall workspace). Chimney probably opposite entrance and either a balcony or a big window at the facade facing away to the right)

[fiery bluff]

Lighthouse near elven island

[sand condor]

@fiery bluff That is stunning

[clever turret]

stunning indeed. Looks elder scrolls ish style. Thats a lot of gauss stone.

[fiery bluff]

Thank you I was going to make Elven lighthouse but Idk if it is elven enought 😛

[stuck sierra]

Turned out kinda nice. Outside decorations later when I have access to bronze and the cultivator

Opposite side, with rounded balcony, feature window and chimney. Definitely lacks some depth around the bottom though, so will probably add a small fenced in area back there with some log piles or something, just to break it up

What is that loop-design in the floor in front of the bed? Is that barrel hoops?

[south sinew]

Yes they are. Very nice flower design! Cool concept, was looking for stuff to put in my lake. Thanks for the idea!

[steel marsh]

Thanks a bunch!
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.

[rich atlas]

I'm curious though, doesn't the rain fall through the core wood, and cause weathering all inside the building?

[daring egret]

i would hide a regular roof under the corewood to get the rested effect underneath

[quartz quarry]

Not finished, but I've been working on a dwarven castle in the mountains.

You can really see the statuary work in this older photo. I'm trying to incorporate lots of knotwork and stone faces.

Meadows tier house in preparation for starting to delve into Black Forest. Happiest I've been with a build so far. Furnishing and some terraforming will have to wait just a little tho

[chilly belfry]

This will be my Snowy Fortress on my forever world

[chilly belfry]

that looks really good, reminds me of Enshrouded.... well done

[stone ferry]

My friend suggested me to share my fortress I've been building solo for a couple of weeks already

[chilly belfry]

I love to build on the snowy mountains and peaks but...

[median ember]

Me as well 😄 You need to play until you reach the mistlands to make sure to craft the new cloak

[stone ferry]

Some more screenshots of my fortress (yard, kitchen, bath, dormitory, treasury, mead hall, food storage, workshop) candles already burnt out and it's a little darker then it was in here unfortunately

I've reinforced walls with iron wood bars and cage walls, so why walls were stable and let me build it high

[median ember]

yeah. I build a cathedral once and used a lot of flametal to make it stable. But your benefit is the mountain so you can build even higher
#building-screenshots message

[stone ferry]

I am thinking of building one more fortress, I've found on my seed a great mountain (maybe the biggest I've seen for three years of playing this game) in deep north so it will be my next goal

Oh and may I ask you to share your cathedral?

[median ember]

Welll... I would wait with that one 😄 I build a nice portal hub in the ashlands before they were reworked... After the rework the island was gone an my portal hub was lost 😄 Therefore I do not build in an biome which will be updated 😄

Already did 😉
#building-screenshots message

[stone ferry]

well technically its Mountain biome and look how mighty and great it is

[daring egret]

if that mountain is surrounded by deep north, be prepared to lose everything u build there once the next biome goes live

[stone ferry]

Quite sad:( I didn't know that biome reworking deletes existing biomes if they are surronded. Well then I should build the greatest of castles and make some screenshots before it is gone

[median ember]

there are mods which enable making a copy of your fortress without the need to build it completely fresh

[stone ferry]

I adore the process:) so why I want to build one more castle from scratch

[median ember]

I prefer this one as well 😄 and since you already did it once, you'll usually end up with an even bigger and better one 😉 the cathedral I showed was my second since I learned from the first one 😄

[sinful hamlet]

I really like the trimmings on the walls, and the fact that it is build into the mountain. The build itself gives me a little bit of LOTR/WoW vibes.

[marsh spindle]

it's possible but we're not sure yet.
while it may have looked like ashlands had mountains in them before the ashlands update, they never actually did, the terrain just went high enough to display as snowy on the map.
so at least so far, no updates have actually changed biome borders (in existing worlds), only the terrain within and around those borders.
-# though considering how much of the deep north's space is currently "wasted" (in terms of progression-relevant biomes) by mountains, it's fair to assume the mountains won't stay, sadly, but i can hope at least their altitude will remain. :>

[little eagle]

a few screenshots about my portal hub + guard chickens i tried to decorate them based on the style of the biomes the random fences are to prevent chicken accidents

[stone ferry]

So, my castle may be not touched, if it is placed in Mountain biome which is surronded by Deep North biome? Quite great news then!:) In any case, I will post it here as soon as I start building process

[marsh spindle]

can't be certain 😅 i'm only saying it's not certain that it will be touched either

[fervent hornet]

I'm also wondering that. Since before Ashlands update the Southest part was considered fully as "Ashlands" (also the "mountain parts as you mentioned), but the Northest part still has Ocean and Mountain biome areas inside/between the DN parts. Will they manage to mesh the area fully to DN similarly how Ashlands was and is still currently?

[vagrant raven]

Did they change it so you can plant mistshrooms in the meadows now?

[jaunty adder]

Ig no , maybe him used console

[little eagle]

yeah shrooms where put there with commands

or tray works too

[marsh parrot]

You can put them with the tray, they're not planted

[vagrant raven]

Cool, hadn't tried the tray on anything but a table. That explains how they're so close together too

[south sinew]

Dude you have some awesome ideas! Thanks for the screenshots. Especially love the grand hall, the yard and the meat storage! Frost staff instead of frozen golem trophy might be even better for the fridge feel!

[sinful hamlet]

[iron quiver]

I'm building a fort with some wooden infastructure. but the wood part is looking weird to me. anyone have tips on improving the supports to this so they look better?

I put a second pillar on top of the supporting pillar and it looks a lot better

[regal gate]

any ideas on what to make here? also is there a way to maybe make my roof not suck? (i dont mean making overhangs)

[blissful sphinx]

make a storage, use it as your sleeping room

[median ember]

what do you mean with "make my roof not suck"? 😄
I would place the storage and work benchs on the lower part, since it's annoying to carry stones, wood or ore up the stairs, furnaces outside and kitchen, sleepingroom, map-table, rested-stuff upstairs

[hallow epoch]

some silly looking statue ( raw model ) 😅

[hollow garden]

im new to the game, what would i use to fill this hole in the roof?

[south sinew]

Make your inside fire there and dont close it? Use it as your chimney. Or put a 45% cross there. Or have the roof extend 1 meter past the wall.

[stuck sierra]

45 degree cross. If the gap still annoys you, stick a horizontal 2m beam on top of the 2m wall and/or a 1m vertical beam below the cross.

If you want to completely fill it then I think the only option is using 45 degree walls overlapping the ones you already have so they meet exactly in the middle. But personally I would use cross and beam to leave a slight gap - gives it a bit more depth too and has no gameplay disadvantage. Think of it as ventilation

It's too small for a functional chimney though I'm pretty sure... smoke particles are actually rather big

[hollow garden]

thanks

Hi, here my first bridge 🙂

[ember comet]

large storage shelf build (2x6) v1

[oblique swallow]

Didn't quite finish my meadows base but I'm ready to move on to plains anyway so I figure I'd show what I ended up with. The original plan was to have a road that snaked and winded up the hill, with kitchen/living area in a separate building up above and farm plots in between.

[stuck sierra]

Looking for ways to make tiny immersive but functional wind/rain-covers for campfires. Any neat ideas welcome 🙂

[visual smelt]

The foundation for the balcony oriel of my mountain build is laid.

[stuck sierra]

Yet another cozy cabin

[sinful hamlet]

Did I overdo with the boats? In the end I wanted this place to fell "alive" so this amount of boats fell accurate I guess

[chilly belfry]

not done yet... but so far so good

[iron quiver]

🙂 my simple dock

[sleek sky]

this boat house was a PAIN to build for a newbie like me but worth it

[atomic canopy]

Just wait until you need a bigger one for bigger boats

[rich atlas]

You can put some open air, depth creating columns in there, but no need to fill the space completely

[stuck sierra]

Finished with the actual house now - time to start living in it and progressing through BF. Left the backside of the house a bit barren deliberately as I intend to build a smelting/forge area back there next. Lots of room for decorations around it later - a fenced path up to the entrance and some farmland below.

Looking for ideas on what to do with beehives that looks good - usually I've just stuck them in a field somewhere

Now that it's been released .... the battle arena makes a nice training yard .... with a few adjustments 😄 .

[jaunty adder]

finished my dock longhouse ig /maybe will improve in future , but i start to lose fps here

[iron quiver]

I stick my hives on the stone walls surrounding my garden. Or ill cover an oak tree in hives. You can get quite a few on the trunk if you layer them just right

[gilded wraith]

Hello,
Do you have more pictures or video of this building?

[slow temple]

yes ofc its not done tho 💔

[sinful hamlet]

Like 90% of this build is done including the interiors. I ve got some left to do, but this place feels much better with all of the lights.

Still working on the docks tho but building 15m underwater aint fun and the fact that you are constantly getting moved by the waves is kind of annoying when you are trying to build something.

Still another month or two and i should be done with it aaaaand the best part, IT WAS ALL DONE ON VANILLA

[tardy bronze]

my work in progress base after 190 day's (60+ day's of building)

[desert sphinx]

Found a small land in the middle of the ocean. Time to build some fishing house.

[vale needle]

Crikey, it is scary building tall before you have the feather cape...

[desert sphinx]

I died nth time doing that shit. Never agian HAHAHA

[buoyant haven]

I did that too! Super fun.

[desert sphinx]

Can I see yours!!

[buoyant haven]

I’ll have to take a screenshot later.

[desert sphinx]

Sure no rush! Thank you very much!

[stuck sierra]

Just randomly building along and ended up with a little curved chimney/fireplace area for a little house. Might be super annoying to furnish inside, but I think it looks kinda neat as a change up from the usual "in line with the wall" or "poking out at a 90 degree angle" fireplace spot

[slow temple]

Any thoughts on this bar i made

[snow sinew]

i think ill build here some sort of observatory

[thorny saddle]

cosy

[stuck sierra]

Getting increasingly satisfied with my starter houses. 3 wide facades is good for this tier imo, but it's a pain to build centered pointy doorways and windows with. Lots of overlapping 45 degree walls before it's in place :<

[tidal atlas]

early game smelting area with underground storage 🌲

[vale needle]

Structure complete, now to polish interiors, storage, furniture, decorations. My biggest build ever, so got lots of space...

BEHOLD!! The Mighty Turnip Shrine

[fiery bluff]

Why we have only Barley Wine in Valheim

[desert sphinx]

howd you make those barrel sit like that? im also doing my cellars all I had are those barrels standing upwards.

[forest maple]

I believe it’s a mod 🤔

[fiery bluff]

dang I forgot about them... yeah this one piece was made using gizmo mod 😅

[desert sphinx]

oooooh ok ok no other way of placing it without a mod? we'd like to play it vanilla as much as possible 🥹

[forest maple]

Nope, not in vanilla. I agree, it would be a cool feature!

[desert sphinx]

plz add this feature devs,

[regal trail]

made a new two-storey house in the Mistlands, 1st floor is for the workshops and storage room with a small basement for the Eitr Refinery, 2nd floor for max comfort

[languid stump]

really cozy

[stuck sierra]

Before - After

Just adding back the stone I got from mining the copper out - no imports from elsewhere. Levelling the ground a bit and adding back the grass. Makes me feel so much better about mining out the underground parts of copper veins. Still leaves a hole, but gives less "minecraft chunk error" vibes

I only had a small idea and then it escalated a bit. Now I have a whole city but I hate furnishing buildings. Is there anyone who likes interior design and decorating and would like to help me?

[tribal forge]

i built a castle (odd choice of weapon and armour, ik)

holy sht. its beautiful

[marsh relic]

starting to look cozy: kitchen, my room, spare floor, floor with a warehouse on the top of the tower with a balcony open to the (future) harbor..

[blazing oracle]

Finally finished construction on my new base. I kinda like the small holes in the wooden wall, so leaving them for now.

[uncut bloom]

You guys excuse me, I’m just starting to build 'what do you think?

Insides of one of our cozy mountain lodges 😉

[hallow epoch]

small and cutie - approved 🤝

[placid gazelle]

with the bath and braziers its like sauna in the there XD

[sweet rose]

man that castle gave me a boner

Im a big time builder player and like to build at such locations so I appreciate the workmanship!

[placid gazelle]

I strive to make a castle build in every biome, but i gotta say.. mountain is too sweet of a place to not build there constantly XD

[iron quiver]

anyone else stick jackoturnips everywhere every october?

behold! the ice lantern

You need to use the curved parts of the roof pieces to line up with the arches. Here's a build using the curved roof pieces

I made this house near spawn, uh xD Then 5 min later the message was "The ground is shaking".. mhm.. 2 trolls nearly destroying the entire house xD

[buoyant haven]

The pathway 🔥

[iron quiver]

If they can see you they'll target you and not the building. When raids start I always run out to my back yard.

[normal shard]

I did, but they smashed my house xD

[iron quiver]

That's quite unfortunate. Did reconstruction take long?

[normal shard]

No, but a lot of repairs

[glossy gulch]

#screenshots message
Working

[bitter hedge]

Finally upgraded my main base with some Black Marble items. Still not done, but progress looks good!

[wraith hull]

Like the checkered floor

[jagged sapphire]

Once they add "Charred Bone Pile" I will make checkered floors out of the dusted remains of my enemies 😏

[quaint zinc]

You can still do that, normal bone piles and black marble

[jagged sapphire]

Not the same given half of it wouldn't be bone.

[quaint zinc]

True

[jagged sapphire]

Given the sheer number of charred we fight and the fact the building piece would literally just be a recolor, idk why Charred Bone Pile isn't a thing already.

[quaint zinc]

Real, I’ve wanted one for ages

[steel sparrow]

Storage floor in progress, pretty happy with it so far 😄

[iron quiver]

this shag carpeting sure is cozy

no, i used the sealed tower as u can see..
pushed the hight to the limit..

[jagged sapphire]

Love me a good sealed tower.

So much blackmetal and iron in one location.

[oak jetty]

My idea for a portal. What do u guys think?

[lethal stratus]

that looks like it came out of Control

[stuck sierra]

Any suggestions for this design before I fill it out? Similar wing on the opposite side of the entrance

[stuck sierra]

How it's turning out. Could use some more details eventually I guess, but the base structure ended up OK I think

[hallow epoch]

oh that is cool. I love when ppl bring new conceptions

[dry ginkgo]

I am trying to build a flight tower network. Does anyone have any experience with that? Here is my planning picture, the grey circle's tower is up already. I was lucky enough to have Hook in the server seed:

[grave vine]

this is what my maps currently looking like, im just up to delving the swamps and getting iron, do you think its okay to build my main big base near the trophy stones? Im currently just a bit north of them but dont know if i should just place a portal for when i want to swap out powers or if i should live there

[atomic canopy]

Only with grounded towers

Similar build system to grounded so I might be able to help tomorrow

[lethal stratus]

I usually just keep a small hut near the world spawn and eventually go back there to plop down a portal once I have the materials. You really don't wanna waste too much time traveling back and forth, so moving away from the center (either east or west) is a good idea in the long run.

[snow sinew]

main building for my first castle

[dapper matrix]

I found out its possible to build midair by using devcommands and spawning a "Trader_wagon_destructable" and then build around it. The wagon counts as foundation. Idk where else to show this but i actually just wanted to ask if you guys had any ideas for a build i could do with it up here. I thought about making some kind of lighthouse but idk how to do that if im honest

[dry ginkgo]

Oh thank you for the offer! I'm on a private server based out of a small town, I'm not sure I can give out the login info. I was looking more for advice on the situation than anything, but I appreciate you.

[peak forge]

Not quite in the league of some, but I don't recall seeing any boathouses. This is early plains level, with no command line, dev commands, debug, or mods used (everything earned and built the vanilla game way).

[atomic canopy]

Oh ok

[dry ginkgo]

Nice! The banners kind of give me a Tibetan Prayer Flag vibe.

@atomic canopy Are the towers you build in grounded used for a similar purpose to catapult towers in valheim? I haven't played it.

[atomic canopy]

Yes, but we use zip lines rather than catapults

[hybrid cradle]

If you want something to build from in midair that doesn't show up, you can also spawn Rock_destructible_test. You can pickaxe it down to a single tiny rock and it can hide inside a piece.

[dapper matrix]

But wont that make the buildable air airea smaller? Like less foundation?

[hybrid cradle]

Technically sure, but you can spawn as many as you would like, wherever you need them.

[dapper matrix]

But what about the hight? I mean is there a way to make them all spwn at the same hight?

[hybrid cradle]

I think I understand your concern, but let me know if I'm misunderstanding. You don't need them under your entire build, just as a starting point, and then add them in wherever your stability degrades that you can't build anymore.

For example, If I was building a large tower - I would place a rock, build my floor out from the rock, and then probably a rock in each corner to make sure I can build vertically as far as possible. If I built up a wall and reached a vertical limit, I could place another rock on the last buildable piece, then I could build that same amount vertically again.

I hope that makes sense.

[dapper matrix]

It does make sense. But my concern is:

When using the debugmode etc spawning a big rock places it above you. So if i start building and then place the next one it wont be on the same level. Making the whole build look weird. YOu know?

[hybrid cradle]

The idea with the rock is that it can be pickaxed down into a really small rock, about the size of a normal stone you can pick up, and that can hide inside of stone/marble pieces like floors or columns. It can be tricky to get it exactly where you want it, but worst case, you pickaxe it away and try again.

[dapper matrix]

but even that one will spawn at a different hight. Wont it?

[hybrid cradle]

Probably slightly, unless you only fly horizontally when spawning the next rocks, sure. It shouldn't really be a concern if you are hiding them inside pieces.

[dapper matrix]

Hmm. KK. Il try. Thx a bunch

[hybrid cradle]

Hopefully it helps, maybe I'm missing your concern. I've not worried about it too much because I usually only have to use a rock or two on big builds, otherwise relying on the stronger in-game materials to build further from the "foundation" rock.

[crisp wolf]

cant u just use infinity hammer to adjust the items "rock to the exact height you want /need ?

[dapper matrix]

infinity hammer?

[crisp wolf]

lol bro its a game changer ofr building lol

[dapper matrix]

What is it?`How do i use it?

[crisp wolf]

best to do some looking into it but ya it allows you to do all kinds of stull like freeze object so custom build edit placements all kinds of stuff and im still new my self but it so nice to have

[pliant latch]

Share screenshots of the recent period.I'm working hard on the building of the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, and so far I've completed Hogwarts Castle, Quidditch Stadium, Hogsmeade Station, Weasley's House, and Luna's House.Except for planbuild, no other mods are used, and the materials are all original.But the buildings are empty because they start to drop frames.

[dapper matrix]

Sry for the late response. I took a look and it most certainly looks interesting. But before I start modding the game I wanna beat it atleast once without. I added it to the list of mods though I wanna try. So thank you

[smoky marten]

I decided to continue my last project, huge medival city!

Guys, do you have any tips, how to optimalize game with this much of elements on the map? FPS is low af 😅(rtx 4070)

[dapper matrix]

Maybe. Or maybe it’s me. Either way I’ll try. So thx

[crisp wolf]

ya for sure lol i played vanilla for like a week i think then i learned about modded and well i never turn back lol

[lethal stratus]

nothing particularly spectacular, but since I had so much trouble figuring out the round parts, I feel kind of proud of how this open-air kitchen came out (you can even spy on Hildir in the last picture :^) )

I don't have a screenshot of the base, but this is the general shape: it's a rounded rectangle in the middle with two half circles on each side

[stuck sierra]

For a while I've been stuck in a "taller is better" mindset, but recently I found a new appreciation for lower builds. Feels more appropriate when it's just a house somewhere - whereas a really tall build can be epic but looks a bit out of place if not framed by other builds or landscaping etc 🙂 Just moved in so interior is wip

[umbral fractal]

and my ugly first cabin that i still haven't finished tearing down

inside the longhouse, not done furnishing yet though

and the name of my humble little town is Wilderun :)

(hats off to anyone who recognises where i got the name from)

[languid stump]

all the crazy castles are cool, but they feel so empty if you don't have big big team you play with. nothing beats these cozy little wood homes!

No, that looks epic.

This is my newest little Mistland build and it's got a working chimney even in the rain

Best part

[snow sinew]

first try to build my little mountain castle

[wraith hull]

maybe black marble but not gaustan.

[iron quiver]

The current tower is intentionally built with crooked stones here amd there to give the impression that it was hastily built by people with viking era technology. If I swap to marble I have to go the opposite direction and make it look really sleek

[wraith hull]

oh i understand that

[iron quiver]

It would be the same way with gaustan 🙂 sloppy build with gaustan looks weird

i rly like the roofed round towers. probs gonna implement this in my walltowers. already used them in the gate but i think to top off a round look this would be nice

[iron quiver]

is this too much detail on my fireplace?

[slow temple]

Holy aura

[worthy solar]

Feel like it would be epic if we got loads of people to meet here for a sermon by you ! 😂

[calm oriole]

Love the roofline and lower windows! Thats a lot of detail for a first build!

[calm oriole]

I love the detail, personally. Makes it pop

[wind hare]

my third day playing wanted to setup a storage area in the base this was my finished product. loving it

[grim remnant]

Nice nice I love the color coding very nice

[strong acorn]

How did you make this so stable?

[lethal stratus]

I believe that's still reachable with iron beams

[hearty gull]

I hope you have raids disabled 👀

[frail lake]

I'm trying to learn how to use Black Marble, and not just make a box like I do with Stone. Here's an attempt at a tower house with some storage & a Black Forge. Feedback welcome my main goal was to make sure the home had depth.

Anybody else have any building challenges for Black Marble or inspiration for Black Marble builds?

[wind hare]

100%

I had raids enabled for the first 2 days then got 1 of my bases destroyed and disabled it.

I didn't wanna just go in and disable stuff without at least trying it.

[hearty gull]

Oh good haha, I was worried

[south sinew]

I think you did really well! Always smart to look for inspiration in the game itself, really has the dvergr vibes to it. Good job on the wooden paneling and the furniture. Main tip i'd give you is look if you can incorporate some vertical paneling as well. I take it you play vanilla?

[frail lake]

Thanks! Yes on the vanilla count - appreciate the thoughts on the vertical paneling

[iron quiver]

Ashwood and black marble look pretty nice together

[frail lake]

Do you ever find that it all kinda melds together as one big blur of black? Perhaps I'm just looking for something that pops with the Black Marble background but this low contrast look can work too

[iron quiver]

This is the first time I've combined them. It's not going to be a large stuckure, and this part will be indoors with fire causing shadows against the wood

[unique quarry]

Work in progress

[raven wagon]

Flooring patterns are a good place to start, gives more interest than just using rugs everywhere.

[raven wagon]

That's a nice build, once you get to the Ashlands, if you aren't there already, grausten can add some chances at detailing. Yes, it's fiddly, but sometimes the finer details are what makes a build.

[frail lake]

I honestly haven't ever tried anything like that, my floors are always just a plain grid so definitely room to improve there thank you!

[wicked grove]

gettin there 🙂 (survival)

[iron quiver]

I like to mix it with other materials

[raven wagon]

You mean like this?

[iron quiver]

Floors like that make me think i would trip on the wood

[wraith hull]

I think DANG how long did it take to make that! My brain doesn’t have the ability to come up with anything that creative!

[raven wagon]

It's actually relatively smooth, the difficult part is getting the Shift placement right on the first one (a 2x2 piece), then filling in the rest of the area. The marble pieces are what took the time to get placed correctly, they are slightly smaller that the hole they fill.

[raven wagon]

I'll spend time just playing around with how pieces can fit together, often in 'free build' or 'creative' mode. I'll have the beginnings of an idea, and there are times that I have to mess around with things till I figure it out. Sometimes I'll see what someone has done, and it'll give me an idea to do something similar, yet just different enough, to not be a copy.

[wicked grove]

look like an inviting...mouth to you? hehehe

[shell reef]

Is this what Viking prime development land is?

[jagged sapphire]

I need them to make CharredBoneStack a thing so I can have a checkered floor purely made of the bones of my enemies.

There is definetly something with the roof that just doesnt work.

[jagged sapphire]

First 3 pictures look fine. 4th picture is just "what is that random thing jutting out in the top middle of the photo?"

[opal parcel]

Ive started by cutting out this extended piece of roof, which i think helped a lot. not sure how im gonna fill it in tho.

[sweet vault]

I think im good at building then this chat reminds me im not

[stuck sierra]

If you build something that you enjoy coming home to, looking at or you like for any other reason, you're good at building.

[sweet vault]

Eh room for improvement

[sweet vault]

It's good if it artistically moves me

[jagged sapphire]

And now you're back to the dreaded "that's subjecthive" and "there is no correct answer" 😄 😛

[sweet vault]

Yurrrrp

[jagged sapphire]

Why can't all games have a single correct way... like Minesweeper 😏

[sweet vault]

When some buildings look objectively good some don't

[stuck sierra]

The game also helps... You could build a simple thing, and when sunlight falls on it, it suddenly pops

[sweet vault]

True

[lethal stratus]

As they say, beauty dwells in the eye of the observer, but any form of art respects certain rules (art uses color theory, proportions and composition, music uses assonance and dissonance, sports rely on coordination, etc... just to name a few) so the "beauty" in the saying refers to how much the person looking at art either studied that art form or has innate perception of those rules governing it.
If you find something ugly, it's because the object you're looking at didn't tick one of those boxes.
Building usually falls within the realm of pure art, where proportions, contrasts and basically color in general play a role to make something beautiful: why do your walls need depth? Proportions, contrast and negative space. Why does using random roof tiles (either wood or tar pieces) look bad? Excessive color contrast and lack of identifiable rules (any kind of identifiable pattern will make the roof look much better in comparison). And so on so forth

[jagged sapphire]

Huh?

[lethal stratus]

it's to say that art is objective

[jagged sapphire]

But it isn't...

Rule it up all you want, person has to (as you said) understand the rules - but they also have to care about them.
Everything you mentioned is a way describing certain perspectives to view art from. Which is the crux of what it is, and always will be, subjective. Because each individual's perspective is going to govern how they view things and what they do/do not find good in different arts.

If art was objective, you would know. Because there would be the EA Games of the art world that had formulated it and was pumping out microtransaction art pieces for billions of dollars a year.

[calm oriole]

Objectively good art isn't necessarily valuable, valuable art is usually a tax scheme or has something unique to say about society, as well as (usually) being quality art. I think what Seijiro was saying is definitely valid, which is why we are all trying creative solutions and builds in Valheim in the first place.

[empty flicker]

Just wanted to share something I built many years ago and it still brings me great joy! It was built because I'd just tamed my first 2 star wolves and brought them on a great sea journey. Built it in vanilla with lots of holding shift placement.

[shrewd shoal]

I'm trying to build a Castlevania-style castle, just started construction. The plan is to create a huge castle similar to Carmilla's from the Shadow Lords series

[iron quiver]

[meager lotus]

so cool 😮

[void basalt]

so art is objective, we just cant agree on the rules.

Croissant

[unique quarry]

Is this building buttery and flaky?

[jagged sapphire]

No, but nice roll.

[lavish agate]

not to throw a grenade in here, but art is 'subjective' not 'objective'. subjective=personal feelings, opinions, tastes, or interpretations (art). objective=based on fact and evidence not influenced by personal feelings 👍

[iron quiver]

Art doesn't have to be beautiful

[lethal stratus]

Beauty is art and art is beauty. It makes no sense to talk about ugly art, because that isn't art, it's something that fails to become art

[void basalt]

There is a youtube channel called burialgoods.
While not calling his videos beautiful is fair, because few are.
Not calling his videos art is an insult to art itself.
"Grovers mad quest to kill god" is a masterpiece.
As is drue langlois/minutehour's "thats a nice grill"
The "eldrich Garfield" art is another notable example.
"Saturn devouring his son"
"The blade itself" Joe Abercrombie

So rather than beauty, emotion is art and art is emotion

move your funace and kiln down in the open area near the shore, will make it less cramped

[severe yarrow]

its not much but i think it looks pretty good

[tacit moss]

still lots to do but its coming along 😄

[alpine cloud]

Complete realignment of the central door and added some grausten trim right above the door. This is my front gate and I think.... think it's done finaly =+)

[sweet vault]

Not really a build but here's my trophy wall

[unique quarry]

The big building I made though the roof is complete now. An interior shot. A view from across the water day and night with new tower.

[unique quarry]

A better view of the tower

[shrewd shoal]

I'm continuing to build a rough castle. I've built a bridge around the corner, and there will be a village with a view of the huge castle. It's funny that the game has such a low draw distance. I downloaded a mod that increases the draw distance, but it clearly requires more than 16 GB of RAM

[cinder mesa]

somehow accidentally created a mid-century-modern viking house?????

[jagged sapphire]

Jack-o-Turnips just fit the Galdr ambience tbh.

[jagged sapphire]

@wraith oriole Fitting into the tower design I figured out yesterday.
Hot tub is on the roof/floor above and armor stand is tucked. But I think this fills the space nicely.

[winged belfry]

Hella nice

[jagged sapphire]

Time to go collect more marble 😄

[quick ruin]

Any ideas on how to fix my roof from breaking? I have a ton of support columns underneath but this one part keeps breaking. I can send other screenshots too, lmk. Any help is appreciated. Also I am still in bronze age so no iron reinforcements sadly.

[fervent hornet]

Core wood pole on that spot from ground up to the roof?

[quick ruin]

Actually yeah I could do that, i forgot about core wood. Currently I have just wood. Thanks!

[tiny cove]

first build like that just went to builds

[jagged sapphire]

@dapper matrix so if I want to have a floor dedicated to each biome, this is the canvas space I have to work with.

oops, forgot to attach...

[dapper matrix]

Oh . That’s a lil small ain’t it?

[jagged sapphire]

TBD. 🤷‍♂️

[dapper matrix]

No idea what this means to be honest but that’s the reason why I made my tower bigger. Mine has additional 2m to it’s radius. So 4m wider in total

[vernal pike]

building a historically accurate norman castle keep in the mountains 👍

[jagged sapphire]

@dapper matrix for contrast, this is Ashwood.

[dapper matrix]

Got it. It is the one I thought. Thx

[dapper matrix]

Me and my 5min bigbrain architecture. Its all green. Nothing red.

[jagged sapphire]

Barn with dedicated vine wall.

[frail cargo]

It's a roof that wont give you shelter so you can't use a bed... And if it rains it'll take damage - but it looks nice 😆

[dire geyser]

starting to look like home!

[iron quiver]

I renovated my laboratory 🙂

[tropic idol]

looks cool! place dvergr circlets above your armor displays to act as spotlights!

[edgy breach]

i manage so salvage it somehow lol. i didnt consider the roof size when floor planning so now the measurements is totally off

[edgy breach]

pretty spacious

[jagged sapphire]

@hearty gull this is the tallest I could get with flametal reinforcement. (60m)

[plain sluice]

first time using grausten (askvin pen)

just realized this spot has all of my 'first evers'. first ever corewood, first ever stone. and first ever black marble

[iron quiver]

newest project. roof on the window feels off to me ;/

now with shutters

[iron quiver]

anyone know if the glass will hold hold up if i try running this refinery?

[hearty gull]

@dapper matrix Here it is 😅

[dapper matrix]

They look the same size to me. This is one i found

[hearty gull]

Oh okay, it seemed a bit small but I suppose not very!

[dapper matrix]

It does seem small but if you look closely and count the pieces too I get the same result

[stoic cosmos]

Nice! Love the offset/ asymmetrical roof

[stoic cosmos]

That's awesome!

[iron quiver]

Thanks 🙂 that side of the house has 1block high glass windows along the wall where the roof levels separate

[jagged sapphire]

And so it begins.

[sleek spindle]

Im really not good at building but i made this cute lil area in my new starter house and was quite proud of myself

[sand condor]

The new bedroom, finishing up a mountain base

The base

[tropic idol]

you can stack the log fences on top of each other to make them taller. most people don't know this.

[fervent hornet]

Kindly check channel description. 👍

[iron quiver]

Christmas trees are out now?

[sand condor]

In creative so have everything.

[tropic idol]

don't mind them. you can post your modded screenshots here. it doesn't matter

[elfin oar]

don't mind what?

we split the content because new player shouldn't be confused

[tropic idol]

so why are they posting clearly modded builds in the botm? wouldn't that confuse new players too? you guys like to contradict yourselves a lot here

so when someone wants to post their build that they worked very hard on whether it be modded or not, no one wants to post it in the modded screenshot channel. Why? because no one ever looks there. Builders want their builds to... idk... maybe be seen?

wouldn't that be cleaver?

i am so sick of these people in here trolling builders who just want to show their builds. it really shouldn't matter if the build is modded or not, especially if the only mod that was used was something like Gizmo and all the build pieces are still vanilla.

you folks really need to get with the program

[elfin oar]

they?
I am a game developer

and "clearly modded" in BOTM ?

[tropic idol]

yes, the last post had pieces that were obviously placed with gizmo

[elfin oar]

in the post we did? 🤔

[tropic idol]

yessir!

[elfin oar]

well. the rules in this channel is vanilla content only

[tropic idol]

i disagree

[elfin oar]

between you and me. I make the rules for the discord

[tropic idol]

for now

[elfin oar]

not sure what you mean with that 😄

[tropic idol]

i bet you could if you just think about it lol

[elfin oar]

not really no

you going to buy our company and make yourself Discord administrator?

[tropic idol]

you say that like it would be necessary

[elfin oar]

well. last chance. follow our rules or don't be in our discord

[tropic idol]

https://tenor.com/view/salute-raa-gif-14938908953589068603

you sure told me cap'n

[jagged sapphire]

Imagine arguing with a dev...

[elfin oar]

I mean. people can argue with me if they want to 🤔

but our rules are for a reason

[tropic idol]

well if you're too afraid to have those uncomfortable conversations, then that says more about you

i don't care who or what you are. i speak up when something is incorrect whether it be against someone's rule or what-have-you. there are arbitrary rules, and then there's what's actually right and wrong

[jagged sapphire]

Nothing is incorrect though. The channel has stated rules that existed before things were posted.

[tropic idol]

just because its a rule doesn't make it right

[jagged sapphire]

🤦‍♂️

[tropic idol]

i disagree with the rule and i'm allowed to say so

[elfin oar]

sev.. stop fighting 😄

[jagged sapphire]

Encouraging people to actively break it is....

Ok Smiffe 👍

[elfin oar]

a rule must be up for discussion

[jagged sapphire]

Encouraging breakage and insulting people for following is outside the purview of "discussion" though. But I will move on.

[tropic idol]

so if you guys don't want modded screenshots in the building screenshots channel, you should really be more on top of it rather than letting other members troll their post with "wrong channel" reactions and Xs and all that stuff. It makes people feel like crap. Doesn't that also go against your "no backseat moderating" policy?

I don't encourage breakage of anything. But people will break what they will anyways. And using a mod to enhance a game is the literal exact opposite of breaking it. I'm thinking about all the people out there that get trolled by people like you who want to throw a bunch of "wrong channel" reactions all over someone's beautiful build, like they're an idiot. So you don't think about those people do you?

[sudden dagger]

I won't lie. I think @tropic idol might actually have a point. But I also think that might be the hill they die on🤣

[tropic idol]

it will be 🤣

[fervent hornet]

If some people read channel descriptions it would reduce confusion. Although there is never harm to point in right direction IMO.

[tropic idol]

i just don’t appreciate this community’s attitude toward modding. as soon as you mention you use mods, you’re automatically branded a filthy cheater and your IQ drops 10 points and i’m over it.

[fervent hornet]

No one is suggesting such. But there are mod related channels for people who mod their game and want to discuss those topics.

[livid orbit]

so all screenshots now go to the mods-screenshots as this is now a discussion channel about what may or may not be posted?

[elfin oar]

the wast majority of players don't use mods.
and modded screenshots don't have any tags on them to tell those users "this is modded content"

[plucky hazel]

lucky gacha pull seeing someone start stupid drama in this channel with a dev of all people
otherwise, have and old screenshot of my main workshop

[jagged sapphire]

Stone ceiling with no ironwood supports 👀 That's a rarity and hard to pull off.

[plucky hazel]

yeah the middle tiles are real red
iirc the dimensions were 4 wide by 8 long for the roof

[plucky hazel]

I've since gotten access to blackstone and moved to a larger compound, which I posted screenshot of way back here #screenshots message

[dapper matrix]

What would you guys say. Is this a good colour on a sign for the storage? My brother said smt yellow-greenish would be nice

[tidal atlas]

Lol dude theres a modded build channel for a reason and i dont think the botm used gizmo you can use sign text to make perfect guidelines for curves of your choosing

[dapper matrix]

Update on this. What do you guys think? Is this good?

[jagged sapphire]

I like the look. I dislike the spelling 😭

[dapper matrix]

KK. Thx Thats on purpose. Idk why but my brother thinks mispelling such obwious thngs is funny. It is kinda. And we are a funny duo. No we are hilarious. We are a hilarious duo

[viral nexus]

Ear-ows

Just building

[jagged sapphire]

CLEAN

[unique quarry]

Wip first mountain build

[dapper matrix]

Any ideas how i could make this transition smother?

Heres from a slightly different angle. I dont realyl like the change of colour and the slight bump when running up the stairs....

[viral nexus]

I would just get rid of the dvergr stairs and use a 2x2 floor and a normal staircase, but you may have to adjust the stairs going up though

[dapper matrix]

Maybe that's better yes. I had it before like that but i wasn't satisfied with how... well.... with the kinda chunky looks. But maybe thats just the smother solution after all...

[tropic idol]

This was built with mods. Look at the fences, there are not that many vertices in vanilla. So you won't allow modded screenshots in the building channel, but then you'll choose a modded build for the build of the month. Terrible double standard and the modded screenshots channel should disappear.

[tidal atlas]

What fences are you describing? looks like ashwood dividers snapped from the top into the ground?

[tropic idol]

the foot of the stairs

[tidal atlas]

That roof was done using a sign text technique i dont think any mods are involved

[tropic idol]

those fence angles are not possible in vanilla

[tidal atlas]

Could you take a closer ss of what youre looking at?

[tropic idol]

i know all about that technique and thats not what i'm referring to

ABOLISH THE MODDED SCREENSHOTS CHANNEL! Who's with me?!

[tidal atlas]

Are you saying the way the fences are rotated is done using a mod?

[tropic idol]

yes, clearly. those angles are not possible in vanilla

[tidal atlas]

To me it looks like from the angle of the ss it may seem that way but i dont think so

In this ss the angles look perfectly vanilla to me?

[viral nexus]

Looks normal to me

[tidal atlas]

If he was using the gizmo mod dont you think those fences would be perfectly rounded?

[viral nexus]

Most likely

[tidal atlas]

And the oc for the build claimed vanilla when he uploaded it you really think he would lie to gain some sort of advantage to win?

[tropic idol]

these were placed in 16th vertices which is not possible in vanilla. vanilla is 8

[viral nexus]

That's normal

[tropic idol]

no it is not

[tidal atlas]

Maybe he free placed them to achieve that angle rather than using the snapping points?

[tropic idol]

show me how you're able to get those angles with 8 vertices

you can freely place them but you cant freely spin them

its MODDED

[tidal atlas]

So you’re claiming that the oc lied about not using any mods based on the angle of the fences on one part of the build?

[viral nexus]

It's 1 turn, 2 turns, 4 turns. It's normal

[tropic idol]

if they said that this build was made with zero mods? THEY'RE A LIAR

i know what I'm talking about and none of you want to believe it. its hilarious at this point. you'll defend it until your last breath

[tidal atlas]

You can see on the right side of the left fence how he used two rotations instead of 1 closest to the door and then 1 rotation on the outside for the rounded edge

[sand condor]

What counts as a mod? Is it a download that adds to the existing game i take it?

[tidal atlas]

If he used gizmo those would be perfect curves why would the builder cut corners there while the rest of the build looks fantastic?

[tropic idol]

the three rotations I circled are not possible with vanilla build mechanics. I've been using Gizmo for a long time, I know a gizmo build when I see it

[sand condor]

ah okay, so I have never used a mod haha. I just use devcommands 😛

[tropic idol]

thats not considered modding to be fair

[sand condor]

I have always been crap getting into the whole mod aspect of games, i never know which ones etc.

[tidal atlas]

So not only are you saying that the person who won build of the month lied about their build, but you are suggesting combing the modded and unmodded build channels? What kind of purpose would that even serve other than confusing any new or inexperienced player

[fervent hornet]

You can certainly have 16 ankles for each building piece in vanilla.

Source: over 3,2k hours vanilla.

[viral nexus]

Zero mods and it looks exactly the same to me

[tidal atlas]

Lmfao case closed

[tropic idol]

you're a god damn liar

[viral nexus]

Bro i play on xbox game pass lol

[tropic idol]

that is bs and you know it. since when can you have 16 vertices in vanilla?

[tidal atlas]

Come on dude really why would someone fake that to support a false claim from a random person in a discord

[fervent hornet]

Since the beginning.

[viral nexus]

I literally can't use mods lol

[tidal atlas]

They won botm cause its a damn good build, theres separate channels for modded and unmodded builds for a clear reason, if you have seen what is possible with some of the available building mods theres no reason why you would suggest combining the two and confusing anyone that isnt too involved in building or is just getting into it.

[jagged sapphire]

1-16
Vanilla af.

[elfin oar]

what part of that wouldn't be possible he said? 😮

[gray hedge]

I think the real vertices were the friends we made along the way

[tidal atlas]

I think someone is due for a nice long vanilla playthrough to get in touch with reality

[viral nexus]

No idea, I just figured I'd go ahead and copy it to be sure and since i play on xbox which has no support for mods there's no contest lol

[elfin oar]

16 verticals

I am quite sure I don't have any kind of mods running

and it's 16 flips

[tidal atlas]

Clearly modded. Theres channels for that dad Lol

[elfin oar]

[dry ginkgo]

Just finished my first playthrough, had an amazing time!
What do y'all think of my base?
https://imgur.com/a/tpWaKue

[jaunty adder]

aint botm roofing is modded i dont get it ?
or it just perfectly snapped to look like this

26 degree zigzag or smt ?

[fervent hornet]

Entirely possible with lots of patience.

[jaunty adder]

ill recommend to use no rain damage mod to solve practical use of that roofing

[void basalt]

my best guess is that it was built with a sort of guide
its incredible how precise you can make builds without snapping points if you have a specific texture and pattern you can use for references.
Tho personally i don't have the patience for it.

[lethal stratus]

and this mod would be useless for that build since all diagonal beams take no rain damage

[dry ginkgo]

I am really stupid when I wake up so this one is on me, but I can't tell what part you're talking about 😅

If you mean the roof of the layer cake portion, I started with like an 8-arm starfish kinda thing and then filled in the middle parts. I lined things up by choosing a specific texture pixel and making all of my placements there.

[jaunty adder]

i understand how its done / and i just didnt know corewood beams take no rain damage

anyways that build amazing, and ill try to do smt like this in deep north

[dry ginkgo]

ty!

[tidal atlas]

Using sign text you can make custom curve guidelines to build off of, Versaugh explains it very well in one of his latest vids

[haughty sage]

It's a vanilla build, all of that is possible without mods, I've never modded and have over 3k hours into the game. He wasn't lying, maybe try recreating something without mods before accusing someone of lying about building in vanilla

[tropic idol]

bore someone else with your little opinion

the god damn build is modded and you can disagree as little or as much as you wish. and since we’re measuring dicks, i have 5k hours to your 3k so what tf ever.

[haughty sage]

You sound really bored 🙂

[tropic idol]

yep! we are laughing hahaha

[tropic idol]

you would know

[haughty sage]

LOL ty for the laugh, bye

[livid orbit]

can i report you for spamming this channel with discussions bordering on trolling? this is a screenshot channel, so stop abusing it

[tropic idol]

now i have some real business to attend to so you can stop tagging me. aurevoir

[haughty sage]

mb adding to it, just hate to see such an amazing build get bashed for no reason. There are some amazing builds posted in here, I hope the focus goes back on the builds, can't wait to keep seeing more from everyone ❤️

[dapper matrix]

My new buddy definitely looks normal doesn't he? (I'm talking about the one with a body)😂

I decided i might just have to imprison him. He scared me with his look

[haughty sage]

Lol love it

[dapper matrix]

Thx. Do you happen to have a idea how i could close the cage on the front? I dont want to use the glass since its too sparkly.

[void basalt]

the dverger metal wall maybe?

[haughty sage]

You could use iron bars or the dvergr metal wall since you put him in a prison XD

[dapper matrix]

Like this you mean? It does look kinda good

Yea imma keep it like this. Thank you

[storm drum]

If you mean, smoother like you get stuck in the stairs, maybe because you inadvertely are not correctly aligning the dverger stairs with the rest. Dvergr stairs have 2 snap point at the bottom center zone, one displaced 0,25m to the side from the other. That means, depending of how you place them, you are trying to pass through a place that is narrower than expected (even if only slightly) and combined with the spiral staircase design it's prone to jam. Regarding the aspect, either you rearrange completely the stair or you create your own spiral stair with regular wood to keep the color homogeneous. Here's an example how: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZt_UkXFZ_I

[storm drum]

You have been using that mod for so long that you forget what's possible without it... I don't know if I find it sad, funny or both things

[dapper matrix]

Yes. I later found out by coincidence about the second snap point because nothing alligned well. I managed to fix the stairs too now. But thx anyway. I have a lot of problems with stairs. Definitely watch that vid

[storm drum]

BTW, as far as I know, that nasty snap point on those stairs is the ONLY way to have a true horizontal shift of 0,25m in the game (the wood door trick is slightly longer). So, keep it in mind in case you would ever need it.

[dapper matrix]

Really? Got it. Noted in my Valhaim Notes. Thx for that

This is the new floor I've made for additional storage. Just sending it to show and ask for tips on improvement.

Oh and i might add another tunnel to the right of the stairs. Maybe in to another storage room. Or linked to the weapon room. Also the caged floor is to give the whole storage room part a lil more style. On top if the caged floors i will place chest. Nowhere else

[pliant oriole]

Never seen a build around spawn like this and thought it would be fun for a survival base (im sure many people have done this, also smelters are temporarily there and i want to note that the thatch roof on the dock building will be changed to something that looks better when i have the materials)

[steel marsh]

Well, I'll just take this accusation as a compliment.
And no, I haven't used any building/decor related mods to make this. I've made my stance clear on multiple occasions on gizmo and how much I dislike it. (to me it feels like cheating)

[dapper matrix]

Thats a really nice spawn. Lucky you. You can build a harbor for your ships and you even have circle inside your base. Quite literally everything you need for a main base.

[pliant oriole]

exactly my thoughts, id really like to make it into a big settlement/city at some point, and have this current central area be like a city garden sorta thing

[dapper matrix]

I didn’t have that luck yet

[pliant oriole]

wdym, like with a seed?

[dapper matrix]

Yes. Well I had awesome seeds alr but not yet one like this. Your seed is awesome

[pliant oriole]

i had looked for good seeds by generating worlds but found nothing, just decided to try a new world one day and found this first try

[dapper matrix]

Damn. That’s some awesome luck. I only had villages and big wood arenas next to each other but never a spawn that was actually good. Just the map itself

[viral nexus]

I think i made it a bit too big lol

Might make the tower another square taller though, but i like how the roof turned out

[pliant oriole]

Accidentally knocked a cart onto my boat, but i kinda like how it looks so it might stay

Also just moved my crafting area

[atomic canopy]

Might have to steal this idea ngl

[pliant oriole]

It looks surprisingly good right? a little detail in a build where you wouldnt expect it

[sturdy musk]

smoky throne'

[pliant oriole]

Just a warning, after 30 minutes it randomly bugged into the boat damaging both

I had to spend a few minutes repairing and pushing them to get it off

[cinder mesa]

[hard sorrel]

I made a Forge Castle. (Not finished)

[desert sphinx]

Bro's about to get married, so we made a church inside our server (vanilla).

[pliant oriole]

First creative build, WIP

[desert sphinx]

That'll look awesome when you reached grousten/ash woods

[pliant oriole]

Originally i was making it to refine a survival build and so was just using materials i have access to, but now im thinking of making it a whole world, so i might try out grousten etc

[pliant oriole]

Im liking how its taking shape, think ill stick to plains material as the theme more or less (the rounded rectangle will be a hall eventually)

[south sinew]

Great wall design! And I like the protected dock youve got going. Very nice and defendable base. Keep us posted.

[distant hare]

How many hours do people sink into collecting stones just to terraform a large base structure with the ramps and what not? That would drive me crazy lol

Usually when i'm playing a vanilla playthrough i end up just digging some huge moat / trench around my build and it looks like trash but everything falls in and i add wall spikes along the holes and they take care of them selves eventually lol

[small meadow]

what do we think so far?

i'm trying to get a clear design template for the roofs and walls first before moving on to the rest of the lodge

done with devcommands on ofc i value my sanity

[small meadow]

any advice on how to add structural integrity to the end parts of the roof?

the only thing i could think of is replacing the core wood support beams with iron wood

[pliant oriole]

Thanks, I'll keep the channel updated.

[jagged sapphire]

I think it goes in #mods-screenshots

[small meadow]

Does using fly and hammer mode really count as modded?

[jagged sapphire]

No, using mods counts as modded.

[small meadow]

So all of my questions about vanilla building are invalidated because I'm wearing horse armor and my foliage looks different

[jagged sapphire]

Modded is modded. 🤷‍♂️

[small meadow]

I don't have questions about mods I have questions about building

[jagged sapphire]

Modded screenshots go in #mods-screenshots .

[forest maple]

Keeping modded screenshots out of this channel ensures new players don’t get confused if they stumble upon them

Maybe try removing your armor and omitting the modded foliage for future reference 🙂

[jagged sapphire]

Very long and drawn out agrument was had a couple days ago that ended with a developer stepping in and re-affirming the channel descript clearly states which screenshots go where.

[forest maple]

Otherwise I think your build looks really cool

[viral nexus]

You can do that, and then just place the core wood over the wood iron. But you'll want the wood iron beams all the way to the ground for proper support.

[jagged sapphire]

I am not saying "screw you wrong channel" I am saying "plz put in correct channel because I would hate for you to get bopped over something so simple."

[small meadow]

Thx fukov I'll get on that

But fr though what do you think of the design?

I need a second opinion from good builders none of my friends know how this stuff works

[jagged sapphire]

Good is a point of view, Anakin.

[small meadow]

Skilled

[viral nexus]

I wouldn't say I'm particularly good compared to others tbh, good at making boxes lol but it's an interesting build for sure

[small meadow]

I love and hate the integrity system in this game

It makes it much harder to build whatever you want but at the same time it promotes realistic building designs and detailing

I'm at the point in my build however where it's becoming a hindrance to what I want to do

[viral nexus]

Yeh this is way too big lol i have no idea what to do with it, but i fixed the stairs to the tower

[viral nexus]

I think that's about all I'm gonna do with this, basement room, tower workshop, and a bunch of marble pillars and some accents

[pliant oriole]

wip dining hall

[pliant oriole]

Feel it needs alot of work, but i think its enough for tonight, its 3 AM and i should sleep

[hearty gull]

Made a structure list for everything I'll want in my base... 👀

[jagged sapphire]

Can you turn the sun on? Can't see anything.
