How do you know if you're on the edge of the deep north, does it say?

[viral nexus]

Not really, but there's an ocean gap between the deep north and other biomes ever since the ashlands update

[raven blade]

I see k k, and that's guaranteed safe then right? When the biom comes out I won't be screwed lol. Oops lag = double post

[viral nexus]

More or less, i wouldn't go too close to the edge though tbh cause even the ocean in ashlands was changed so it's possible the DN ocean could have updated creatures and such as well

[leaden rose]

I feel your anxiety. I've got a base and mistlands way up north, and my Queen location is going to be super close to DN as well.

I'm so sad that I can't get my fishing hat.

Progress Update 1
-# finally had some time to work on this thing

[worn bay]

@devs
it won't let me snap that piece and it's driving me insane!

[worn bay]

https://tenor.com/view/scarey-boo-rawr-cute-gif-22290620

[fervent hornet]

I'm sure any regular user here can also help with that, no need to try pinging developers (as it's against server rules).

[worn bay]

1. I didn't actually ping them
2. the fix requires a code modification and not something someone can "help with"
3. I don't cater to pompous attitudes

[fervent hornet]

1. It could have been seen as attempt, so wanted to make sure you're aware
2. In that case you can also post in https://discord.com/channels/391142601740517377/1202549675924787220 or send official bug report to https://www.valheimgame.com/support/ 👍
3. I don't see anyone here pompous.

[worn bay]

If I wanted to actually ping them, I would have actually pinged them. It's an intended illegitimate but deliberate attempt. I'm aware.

2. didn't think it qualified as a bug

3. didn't claim any particular person was being pompous but the idea of "you can't ping us we're devs" entails a sort of pompous attitude. There are plenty of other devs who accept pings and dont cry about it or make rules against it.
   -a pompous attitude for creating a popular game, great good job. And i'm a regular user, however, I've done things like build a computer and program it to run full blast on fiber optic internet to find cures for cancer and covid until the hardware depleted. I donated placenta stem cells to help advance stem cell science while most people choose to either eat it or discard it. I help elevate a core societal need as a career. So while my impact is much greater than a game developer, I'm not too pompous to accept pings.

[fervent hornet]

It's not about pompousness, but this server has over 156k members and handling community asking questions and else is not most of their job, that falls to Smiffe who has community manager role in dev team and handles the community of this server.

While other games' developer teams might be more open, this is Iron Gate dev team's way to operate. It's their way to ensure they get to develop the game and do their daily job with the least amount of issues as possible. While usually most of regular members communicate here during their free time.

And there are ways to report issues and bugs found in game which I provided above.

[strange panther]

the potential on this looks epic

[quaint zinc]

I'm probably going to blow my computer up with this one

[strange panther]

real

[worn bay]

Yeah thats not a valid excuse for not being "open" to being pinged to the point of actually making a rule against it. Ping notifications can be fine tuned and or turned off entirely. Text messages can be read at any point in time as it doesn't command immediate attention as a phone call. It is indeed an ego problem of pompousness and taking one's position too seriously of importance masqueraded as "I'm too busy".

[worn bay]

And with the nature of text messages one can go back in history, other than fulfilling your egotistical episode masqueraded as "helpfulness" you don't need to repeat bug report suggestion.

[elfin oar]

🤔

@worn bay Joel just tries to be helpful towards you tho

there is a reason why we have specific channels on discord and https://valheim.com/support to report bugs so we can see them, instead of having to search far and wide for bug-reports

and about that issue

I think the issue is specific to that build piece

[worn bay]

The mechanism behind his helpfulness isn't genuine. Again bug reporting suggestion doesn't require repeating a 3rd time.

[elfin oar]

but what are you trying to snap to what build pieces exactly?

the horizontal stone pillar?

[worn bay]

The top half circle window

[elfin oar]

doesn't help to choose diffrent snap points either with Q and E right?

[worn bay]

Nope tried that. Tried reducing number of pieces near the snap point too

[elfin oar]

can you stream for me so I can see exactly what's happening?

just join any VC and i'll jump in

[worn bay]

Signing in. Was in bed on the phone initially

[elfin oar]

ah

[iron quiver]

started an underground build. accidentally broke through the ceiling 3 times, and i cant get the floor to cooperate with me 🙁

[viral nexus]

Hobbit holes can be difficult

[white nova]

I've only had luck with small underground bases under The Elder platform and in the mountains. Its tricky mining out big rocks. Kinda easy to break through the exterior

[uncut mist]

So this was my 1st playthrough, some friends recommended this game. Fell in love with building. So after the house i wanted to make something better and bigger, so i built a tavern(have to make the fire place bigger). I really like the way it came out. I also needed a different place to have all the smelting stuff, so i made like a forge hut? My only issue was I didn't like having random portals in the tavern, so i started on this portal tower.

[hallow epoch]

this look's allright

[daring panther]

Thank you.

pushed game's heights limits by engineering this abomination(just the core husk, extentions from the sides will be)., i hope my computer or the game will till the decor from the inside... xD

I'm getting Ganondorf Castle from OoT vibes.

[stuck kite]

Finished the first building of the castle

[remote saffron]

work begins

[calm oriole]

Great buids for your first world! Some very nice techniques here like the wooden pillars - love it!

[pine swift]

Built this a while back

[waxen sparrow]

Building a lighthouse is harder than I thought. I added 7 bonfires at the top and because it has roof the smoke couldn't get out and the the 3 top bonfire come and go. I want to make it as bright as possible during the night.

Built on creative mode since my previous attempts were failure, enter in frustration mode 😵‍💫

[frail cargo]

Did some more work on my Mistlands project 🙂

[jagged sapphire]

The correct spot is #mods-screenshots , that is what the tag is about 99/100 times.

[random helm]

Ah, thank you.I guess this is why I don't post things. Edit: or I just should have screened clipped out the left side, which is the mod piece side.The right side's all vanilla legit

[narrow iris]

Little house I made some years ago.

[robust kettle]

I've gotten bored, so I started invading public worlds that haven't changed the default password. In this one I planted 6 oaks and built this treehouse gazebo base. The entrance is subtly camouflaged 😩 👌

[quaint zinc]

Progress Update 2

[jolly narwhal]

i see the vision

duo starter base

[iron quiver]

anyone good at building those pointed roof things? sorry for the nighttime picture

[cosmic nacelle]

I am

What is it youre trying to achieve / go for?

[iron quiver]

each level where the roof lowers i was hoping to have pointed roofs. so I can remove a section of roof from the level below and vent smoke

[jagged sapphire]

How much smoke are you making in that screenshot? Jesus 👀

[cosmic nacelle]

About as much smoke as youre gonna try to give me once I start posting my own screen shots to help this guy

[jagged sapphire]

So you're going to knowingly violate rules and you're just... fine with that?

Interesting personality trait...

[cosmic nacelle]

So youre looking to have a way to vent the smoke from the top of the structure right?

[iron quiver]

yes

by making overhangs, then removing a roof tile under the overhang

[cosmic nacelle]

one sec

[iron quiver]

smoke vents ok like this, but im trying to be fancy with it

[jagged sapphire]

Which tile are you wanting to remove?

[iron quiver]

this one

after that i'd move the hearth over to be under it and place another one at the other end of the house

[jagged sapphire]

Ah. I can think of a couple ways, but I am sure the modded content connoisseur will be posting their solutions incorrectly very soon so 🤷‍♂️

[jagged sapphire]

Are you dedicated to using the tarwood roofing or are other materials an option?

[iron quiver]

i guess i could do it this way

[jagged sapphire]

Because there is a very simple way to achieve what I think you're describing with the grausten roofing pieces.

[iron quiver]

I'd perfer to stick with the tarwood

[jagged sapphire]

Valid.

Love the wisplight garden.

[cosmic nacelle]

give me just a sec to get caught up here - trying to re create what you got so I can show you how to do this

[cosmic nacelle]

This way if you wanted to construct to get TO your overhangs? You wouldnt be smoked out / taking damage from it

[cosmic nacelle]

And this is just changing up how you have that top piece there in the middle.. assuming this is what youre wanting to change up

[iron quiver]

looks neato. 😄 I'll give it a try in a bit. right now I'm working on a second lox pen.

[cosmic nacelle]

Simple enough to replicate?

[iron quiver]

yea

[cosmic nacelle]

If this is what you were after? Otherwise we can come up with something different ^.^ lmk

[rose hound]

no where near done with the spire build but the ring for defence is gonna take thousands of stone, gotta get another 700 ashwood atleast as well

[iron quiver]

Anyone have ideas on how i can improve the look of this room partition?

[viral nexus]

Maybe make the opening a meter wider so it's more symmetrical

[viral nexus]

Survival cabin in my current playthrough

[strange panther]

is this gonna be like a fortified town or a stronghold

[frail cargo]

Added even more stuff to the Mistlands base 🙂 WIP, the new tower is far from finished.

This looks modded. The angle doesnt seem like 45 degrees to me

[robust kettle]

impenetrable portal hub island

[dusk trout]

My portal hub. Taken from inspiration from Klaus. I really liked his and I tried to make it my own.

[uncut fossil]

The ashvine is right next to the for wall, but it doesn't recognise it as a wall
But the Grausten wall two meters to the left has berries growing just fine

[leaden rose]

The permanent 'wall' of the fortress may not count Snap a Grausten wall onto it and try again.

[uncut fossil]

Yes this works, but it looks weird. 😭
Black marble fits better, but it's chunkier.

[tall trail]

I think you can remove the wall once the vine has grown

[signal mist]

little base i have been experimenting with...

[leaden rose]

No, it needs the support

[red hill]

Waow

[rose hound]

now should i bridge the 2 or just have a portal in/out with no stairs for that one?

[sour tree]

The Pork Pit

[signal mist]

i do something similar as those poison spitters are a real pain for tamed beasties

[sour tree]

Yessir, I’ve had wraiths and blobs get through lesser defenses on any number of occasions which has resulted in my pork production abruptly ending

pls help me i'm so french a french help or english so my english is bad

[jagged sapphire]

#mods-screenshots

[torpid pebble]

why

[jagged sapphire]

Because it is modded, so that is where it goes.

[torpid pebble]

i don't have a mods for build

[torpid pebble]

My mods aren't for building; they're just for food or the map, so I won't make rules for them

[jagged sapphire]

Given you're translating, I am assuming you meant to say you're choosing not to follow the rules.
Because you believe they somehow don't apply to you.

Go off, do your thing, just trying to inform you before someone else does 🤷‍♂️

[torpid pebble]

​"I have an idea: I'll just hide my HUD and any modded UI elements before taking screenshots of my builds."

[jagged sapphire]

I will never understand people who intentionally break rules...

[torpid pebble]

I think there's a misunderstanding. My builds are 100% vanilla, I only use technical mods for the UI. I just want to make sure the screenshots look clean and follow the visual rules of the channel."

[jagged sapphire]

Nope. No misunderstanding.

Here's a rule.
Ok, but if I hide some stuff I can still knowingly break it, what fun. I love posting in the wrong channel "just because" when there is a perfectly legit channel I could post in, but am actively choosing not to.

[torpid pebble]

you are not a admin or moderator let me make my build i try to take a help for my build i don't break any rule

[jagged sapphire]

You did, and I showed you that you did.
You simply do not care 🤷‍♂️

[torpid pebble]

You're writing a whole novel about a UI mod. My build is vanilla, and that's what this channel is for. If a mod has a problem, they'll delete it. Until then, stay mad."

[jagged sapphire]

It is not. 👍

[torpid pebble]

you are not a good guys i don't disturbe the channel

i stop talking with you is a channel for screenshot no texte .

[leaden swan]

@jagged sapphire it's ok, it's not that big of a deal. If the moderators don't like it, they will remove @torpid pebble 's pictures. I for one am impressed with @torpid pebble 's since it is a vanilla build.

[torpid pebble]

thx

[jagged sapphire]

It's even less of a deal to just put things in the proper place, where the build can still be appreciated exactly the same way 🤷‍♂️

[torpid pebble]

I'll give you the final photo when my build is finished.

[leaden swan]

@torpid pebble You're welcome! I'm sure someone would make a big stink about me posting pictures. I use QoL mods, but nothing that modifies my buildings

[leaden swan]

That may be fine for you, but as you pointed out earlier, not everyone's first language is English. Have some forgiveness. You don't have to act as the channel's police. Again, it's not a big deal, let it go.

[leaden swan]

Sounds wonderful! Can't wait!

[jagged sapphire]

I pointed them in the correct direction, they then asked why.
I explained why.
They then decided to debate what reality is rather than accept the truth.
So... 🤷‍♂️

[stark egret]

smothers Sev with a pillow While his methods could use some polish, Sevrahn's not wrong. If you have a brand-new player come in, looking in #screenshots and wondering why their game doesn't look like that game, it adds unnecessary confusion.

[leaden swan]

Still not a huge deal, the build was created via vanilla standards.

[torpid pebble]

i have explain i have no mods build with my picture I understand the confusion, but I explained it so there wouldn't be any.

[jagged sapphire]

🤦‍♂️

[leaden swan]

Yes, I agree. @torpid pebble did explain that his build was a vanilla build, so thats why I don't mind it being in this channel. If a moderator thinks it belongs in another channel, that's ok, they are the final authority. I am not.

[exotic totem]

@torpid pebble I cant wait to see the final image. An yeah I've stopped posting pics of my builds a long time ago as I had the same issue just because of a "mod" for my HUD, and for the comfort and feeling to the game not actual MOD to change the actual game and ALL were vanilla.
Lesson learned... It looks like you have big plans for you world and build... hope to see some progress pics soon.

[torpid pebble]

hey thx for this is try to finish him and i try to go in swamps XD

[solid hull]

One of my proudest works yet! This is just one of many more houses to be added to my village!

[waxen sparrow]

This has no end

[cyan swift]

Clarifying question: If a build is vanilla but includes things spawned in using console commands, like foliage or big rocks, where would that go? Here, or mods screenshots?

[waxen sparrow]

here. anything that u install in game folder that adds or modify things in the game its considered mod. Still u can use devcommands to spawn items

[cyan swift]

Okay cool, I ask because I posted a screenshot that was tagged as wrong channel the other day. The building itself is vanilla creative, but my HUD showed an inventory mod so that makes sense. Wanted to know the rules/culture more in-depth.

[waxen sparrow]

your welcome

[daring egret]

little update on my castle. yard on the right and a fat tower keep before the base structure is done.

[jagged sapphire]

Modded is modded. So that goes in #mods-screenshots

Devcommanded is devcommands. So that goes here. 💛

my mountains base. built this on a standard world without any mods or dev commands. many hours of breaking rocks.

[fluid wing]

awesome

[barren moth]

thank you :)
it took 3 weeks and I only ended up using it for 3 days before I was done with the mountains lmao

[waxen sparrow]

it took u 3 weeks, if i do something like that probably 2 months for me xd

[barren moth]

a lot of the time was just gathering resources. It is insane how fast you blow through stone on builds like this. Which is why my plains base was made entirely of wood lol. there's also crafting tables, stonecutters, and forges buried/hidden all around the base so I can craft anywhere

[narrow iris]

Tavern, port side.

How do you keep yourself from burnout

[frail cargo]

The place is starting to look like a proper keep / trading hub 🙂 No mods, devcommands for mats + fly mode.

[green meadow]

renovated a dvergr tower

[raven blade]

Is there a way i can snap this stone wall aligned with the the stone floors. The end result should be the piece of stone wall partially clipping inside the wall bellow it and then it would align with the floor lvl where im standing.

[viral nexus]

Cycle the snap points and snap it to the bottom outside corner of it

[raven blade]

Not exactly sure what you mean

[viral nexus]

Hmm idk looks completely different from before now

[raven blade]

yeah, im trying to get the wall at the same hight as the floor, but still aligned with the wall

[viral nexus]

You may just have to try freeplacing a piece in alignment where you want it and then snap pieces to the freeplaced piece, not much else you can do about that half meter gap except for maybe redoing the whole wall which would obviously be a lot of work

[raven blade]

yeah, thats true, this is a bit over precision, just would be nice for it to work lol;

[tired niche]

My first big construction is almost finished. I still need to polish a few more details of the decoration, but it’s looking very nice.

[mossy jetty]

Is it inevitable to have these weird gaps, or is a piece a centimeter off somewhere?

[waxen sparrow]

no, those pieces dont have perfect square snap points so during the placing piece, you can misplacing the piece in the irregular one, you should aim the piece on the ground or top snap points

[oblique swallow]

Looks like you are clipping here

It's more tedius, but you can alternate 1x2s and two 1x1s on your towers to break up the gridlike pattern a little

[barren moth]

That floor design is actually sick af. Did you manually place them at varied heights or is that just the way they place?

[iron quiver]

Its been over a year since I built the floor, but im pretty sure I clipped the first marble block onto a tile thay wasn't level with the floor, then the rest of the marble was placed by clipping onto the original and deleting a few in-between to form the pattern i was going for

[muted wind]

looks sick. if you're open to suggestions I saw a build a few scrolls up that has a patchwork tile floor that might look really good on your ground level. looks cozy

[wet atlas]

Yeah, it looks good. But this house is done already and my goal was to make the most of the black marble in the building.

[shut lotus]

A place for eating and sitting. And experimenting with walls and stumps.

this is the same one. its just an old picture from when I was still building it

[upbeat shoal]

my new home wich includes the forge. its not finished yet but its getting somewhere. interior is modded (item drawers) so no pic there. sowe for the quality

[muted lagoon]

I like the roof🤔

[upbeat shoal]

talking about the roof its done

its rly hard to get a good view its like the roof doesnt WANT to be viewed and i love it 😄

[fringe jasper]

I'm building a house but I just can't find a good roof and I've already torn down the old one. Can you also tell me how to make the roof better? maiby overhangs? Or something.

[fervent hornet]

You cannot build high enough with just wood, you need at least corewood to support higher structures.

||Iron wood poles|| allow even higher structural support.

[upbeat shoal]

this looks better...i think...hopefully....maybe ?

[jolly narwhal]

motte + bailey type base (in progress)

[fringe jasper]

it is easy to obtain. So is it worth using corewood in those structures and supports?

[jolly narwhal]

it looks like u had a good start in the second pic, its hard to build overhangs w the normal wood, however when you get the tar wood it becomes easier + looks better, but you can still do overhangs with the normal wood

and by overhangs i only mean the 1m overhangs, the 2m ones you can do w any type of wood through its snapping options

[marsh mist]

Anyone have any nice king-size beds the build?

[iron quiver]

is it weird that the middle oven is furtur forward than the others? I'd have to remove a load bearing iron beam to move it back.

[iron quiver]

is this too much chrome?

[iron quiver]

think I got it how I like it now.

[wet atlas]

I like 1st more than others. Maybe 3d variant but no flametal

[fringe jasper]

I can get a pretty good roof, but should I use regular meadow wood or corewood for the protruding support structures? I also can't figure out which piece to put in the middle because it keeps falling apart.

[fervent hornet]

The corewood need to reach to surface for proper support.

[lost scaffold]

My Plains/Mistlandsfarm can produce all farmables in the game!

[fringe jasper]

I decided that I was going to demolish the old house because I didn't use Corewood in several places, so I decided to build a new one and immediately had a problem. What should the shape of the roof be at the terrace because otherwise there would be a hole there.

[fluid wing]

fidget a bit with the roof corner pieces or just extend the normal roof and use it as a roof for the terrace too

[fervent hornet]

Try make sure those curves are supported from the ground with vertical poles.

[fringe jasper]

okay. I guess I can take the roof off a bit since I didn't notice this message. thanks for your advice

[mental mango]

anyone else love to build their roofs like this

[polar dome]

my dojo. day and night pictures.

[fallow jolt]

My long time project is getting along. Soon Ill need to progress to the mist- and ashlands to finish the build. Soon as in next month maybe.

[iron quiver]

sorry I keep spamming my kitchen here, but I keep finding new ways to decorate my ovens and I have to share them

[fringe jasper]

So now the house is ready. Thank you for the instructions you gave.

[upbeat shoal]

what about curving the two houses together ?

would look even better in my opinion. dk if u agree 🤷‍♂️

if u make 1-2 support beams that are at the right angle and height u can put thatch roof on it and vary their angle with every thatch roof attaching them to the same snapping points. proly top or bottom 1,2

i think its top in this case but i did the opposite in my project so im just assuming how the inverted version looks like

[fringe jasper]

Maiby but its now good. The smoke gets out more easily 👍

[upbeat shoal]

if ure happy thats all that counts 👍

[upbeat shoal]

gtfo

[muted wind]

No one asked for this but

[upbeat shoal]

building moar roof

[thick condor]

I love building harbor bases!

[mental mango]

nothing quite like looking at a early game WIP longhouse/storehouse

[upbeat shoal]

construction noises

realizes lack of iron for support pole "awwww damn"

im offended by the wrong channel...its not ...the only modded thing is rly the garden. im snapping and framing vanilla .......

[jagged sapphire]

So it is modded then.

[upbeat shoal]

if u want me to black out the garden ill do so

but this is nitpicking on a high lvl

[jagged sapphire]

You choosing to disregard channel rules is somehow my issue? Interesting take...

[upbeat shoal]

like man ive worked hours on this roof and u focus on the only thing thats not the focus of the picture ngl thats frustrating yes

[jagged sapphire]

Or, just share it in the appropriate channel? How is that difficult?

[limber turret]

which would be...? IS THIS NOT Building Screenshots channel?

[jagged sapphire]

#mods-screenshots because it is modded.

[pliant hare]

It should be blocked or moved to the appropriate channel. Nothing wrong in pointing that out.

The language here is kinda rude though.

[upbeat shoal]

oh no theres a row of bushes when the focus of the damn picture is a roof ive been working tirelessly on for hours...i get it...but its rly nitpicking

[limber turret]

Hall monitors not getting "dealt with as Vikings" because internet anonymity... Lol

[jagged sapphire]

It is modded. Therefore goes in modded.
It's not a matter of nitpick. You know you're playing modded, you know where your screens are supposed to go.
You chose to do it here instead. 🤷‍♂️

[upbeat shoal]

as said ill blackend the bushes no worries gimme a few minutes. jeez some ppl should get a life

[jagged sapphire]

Yes, some people should have enough of a life to post correctly.

[upbeat shoal]

most ppl in here appreciate builds not cry 🤷‍♂️

vanilla building no bushes visible now. happy ? hope so

[jagged sapphire]

It's weird you spend that amount of effort instead of just clicking a different word to post in the correct channel...

[limber turret]

There are Zero mods here. In the Build Screeny channel...

[limber turret]

Yes! Timberframing is Legit how they did it.

[upbeat shoal]

ppl cheat and use flying all the damn time for building. i collect my resources use ramps and build vanilla. if a few bushes in my game that i blacken are still a problem ill let a mod decide and if so be it stop posting.

[limber turret]

Yes! My latest video i show how to "float" the roof tiles Over the beams, which is legit how it was done...
I know it's a whole "Style thing" people do to show more structure.
Cool. gg
I gor for more authentic build from Scandinavian historical reconstructions...
My Swedish family all had Timberframed ceilings.
The beams show Inside, not thru the roof

[upbeat shoal]

i mean i blackened it or blueed it that should be plenty..... nothing is diff. if id join ur world rn i could build the same damn building.....i honestly dont wanna clog the channel with this conversation. i made my point clear. thx

[limber turret]

Legit bro. 2nd shot with blued out should be done.

[mental mango]

I made a core wood frame and then just layerd the roofs on top

[mental mango]

you're the kind of person who would ban someone for having a miniscule cosmetic mod show on like 4 pixels of the screen, like the DRG discord mods do.
if the moderators take offense they will remove it

[limber turret]

I posted my 1st Timberframe video in "Self Promote" channel
Its Meadows level version with zero or almost zero corewood... just for the look on front.
Gonna keep doing them as we go.

Now, for the most authentic Jarl's Lodge which was swollen in the middle and curved slightly across the top, yeah, I'll have to find a mod like Gizmo to make small shifts in angles... Probably cant Show such an Authentic Viking Langahaus in this channel then, with the goalies...

[vocal crow]

just block the mod police, half of the build of the months have planteverything usage in it. dont feed them. berry bushes can also be spawned in vanilla using dev commands so they are wrong anyway

[trail trail]

Small outpost before the ashlands. what do you guys think of it

[upbeat shoal]

i think its getting somewhere still not fully happy though idk

[upbeat shoal]

now mostly happy !

[lost scaffold]

My cosy safehouse in the Ashlands

[hot geyser]

Are you happy?

[upbeat shoal]

with my build? no

[hot geyser]

Yeah, with your build

[upbeat shoal]

i was still working on it today after the last pics. new stairs new additions to the roof ,new floor, interior etc and then theres a need for a great hall next to the kitchen....ill never reach the mountains

[forest maple]

You cleared all your bushes? 🤔 why?

[upbeat shoal]

theyre still there ?

[forest maple]

Ah, sorry it looks like I misunderstood, I’ll butt out!

[upbeat shoal]

i mean fair assumption they werent on the latest screenshots 🤷‍♂️

[upbeat shoal]

am i happy ? not yet😭

idk if ill keep those additions theyre just so much less compact than the original part of the roof

[shut lotus]

My improved shrine.

[upbeat shoal]

yea uhh that is fine i think

i THINK i can say its time for the great hall the kitchen is complete....at least from the outside

other side

[jagged sapphire]

@manic pagoda example of "circle-ish" with 2m black marble.

[sinful finch]

The satisfaction when you get grausten pieces snapped in to one another! 🥰

[barren moth]

Looks kinda busy

[sinful finch]

Entry hall finished for now! Converting from black marble is slow, but I love how much brighter everything is.

[upbeat shoal]

i couldve gotten away with less ribs but i didnt know about phantom attachement points...

was basically coping for that lack early in the process and at some point when i realized the mistake i made it a design choice 🤣

[hot geyser]

Idky u refuse to cope with the existence of rules as if theyre meaningless and no one has to follow them. This isnt really an argument

[sinful finch]

Out of line - they are completely right. Its so normalized to use console commands for the joy of building that it was built into the world modifiers by the devs. There is NO shame in choosing to play completely vanilla, and there is NO shame in playing in a building sandbox. Play your way, and let others enjoy the game THEIR way. It's not a competitive sport.

[jagged sapphire]

They aren't talking about using devcommands.
They are talking about posting modded content in a mod-free channel (per the channel rules).

[sinful finch]

ok, fair enough - it came across very snarky to me

[jagged sapphire]

Snark is probably a result of the rules being explained to the tagged person and rather than just click a different channel and freely share everything without issue, they choose to argue and then "I'm going to keep breaking rules until a mod stops me." 🤷‍♂️

It is what it is. We can only them and move on. It is up to the red and purple names if they want anything to be changed.
-# Actually I cannot, because they blocked me after I explained the rules 😂

[barren moth]

Crazy how many different ways people add details to their roofs

[true heart]

Continuation to the screenshots I posted a few days ago.

#building-ideas message

I ended up hating the dock. It was my first time building, I wasn't following any guide or walkthrough, just trying to apply techniques I'd learned and after I finished, realised I hated it.

Specifically, the central building had an irregular roof because the other building cut into it, but not in a way I liked, the second roof had a rectangular shape despite the floor it was on being curved, which was weird. None of the roofs were build considering the others so they didn't line up and there were joining issues. There were also wooden beams that were decaying in the rain.

Functionally, the criss cross pattern on that one roof unfortunately would catch the Longships sail in it when angled the right way, causing the boat to be unable to escape, forcing me to remove it. The channel for the boat was too tight and the boat took damage when leaving.

Thus, the other day I destroyed the entire thing and restarted.

Here's what I built yesterday instead.

I like the lack of symmetry on each side, I decided not to build doors in the end. I found a way to put a bit of crystal in it that I personally like. I have 2 piers for long ships and 1 for a drakkar I do not currently posses.

The central pier which extends further and ends with black marble (Which I just unlocked) is going to have some sort of light build on the end, with the brunt of the pier itself being 4 stone floors wide, to serve as the main hub for Carts.

The idea is that the central pier is where you will take carts to get the items out of the boats storage then drag it down and take it where it needs to go.

Couldnt find a place to incorporate doors I liked, so I decided to go with a more open design.

Not finished yet, got some finishing touches to make.

I went with the Darkwood Divider as a sort of banister, whilst incorporating wood floors and 1x2 walls onto the stone foundations (Wood floors touching stone directly don't decay in the rain, just learned that)

Shutters are used to lock the boat in place, keeps it from rocking or moving even during a storm.
Also I find it fits aesthetically.

Roofs are mostly centered on where the carts go, to prevent them getting wet.
There's an extra thin roof that extends lengthways over to my backup longship pier that only exists because I learned shutters decay in the rain, but I kinda like it.

There's spiral stairs near the main entrance to go up, and a secondary staircase off to the side. The 2nd staircase was added as I was having clipping issues with the walls touching where the roofs met, and it had some wasted space, so I decided to use it for something mildly practical.

Not perfect, but I'm much more pleased with how it came out.

Carts be snugly placed by the crystal wall (Window) directly in front of the main pier

[hot geyser]

You could explain things in the nicest way possible and people will still think if you say anything you are being a big meanie. No snark. If you actually look at every one of rafels posts recently its a jab at sev. Its annoying. And all because they want to argue about rules. Dumb convo, shouldnt get attention

[hot geyser]

I guess I could block too, his builds arent that cool

[jagged sapphire]

I didn't block anyone. They blocked me to stop my ability to react.

[hot geyser]

I understand, im saying I could block them

[jagged sapphire]

This is really cool!

[supple dirge]

Oooo that looks super cool, the black marble and wood next to the smoothness of the grausten looks super nice

[snow crypt]

I built haldor a base

any idea what i should add to my world ?

[hot geyser]

Lots and lots of money

[snow crypt]

should i build the bog witch a base ?

[tidal crag]

my current meadows base, ima move soon since im getting to the ||plains|| soon. (sorry if theres UI in the images, i didnt know how to remove it lol)

[snow crypt]

Also made hildir a base

working on her cave

this is the inside

[upper laurel]

the issue is mod screenshots is a really vague channel where people post mostly progress updates on mods they are working on, so builds dont feel like they fit in there. the way the screen shot channels is set up excludes a whole group of people from sharing. the solution? a channel called modded building screenshots

[jagged sapphire]

I feel like the issue is knowingly not following rules... but 🤷‍♂️ feel free to declare that isn't it.

[upper laurel]

k and i have an idea that'll fix your problem as this has been an "issue" in this server for years now. I feel like a new channel for those types of screen shots would make everyone a lot happier

people wouldnt be crying about mods in this channel and people with builds that happen to have some kind of mod installed would have somewhere to put it

[jagged sapphire]

They already have somewhere to put it.
Whether it "feels" like it or not.

[upper laurel]

its still a valid solution to the problem regardless

[jagged sapphire]

The valid solution is following the rules.
But as I said earlier, it is what it is until the moderators decide to enforce anything.
So the discussion is moot 🤷‍♂️

[upper laurel]

my solution will literally help people follow the rules

[drowsy hearth]

did you harpoon him? howd you get him out of the bubble

[viral nexus]

Well it's like Sev said, the discussion is moot unless the devs decide to do that, and it's not like it hasn't been suggested to them before

[viral nexus]

Likely a devcommand to spawn them there, or some kinda mod

[jolly narwhal]

i mean, like many things in the real world, sometimes rules dont function as they are intended, as im just seeing valid concerns and mistakes and some chronically online individuals developing material for whole essays like it wont continue to happen (or as if its their business) 😂

rules 1 and 13 are moot (for yellow names)

theres ur issue ^

[snow crypt]

finnaly made my own stone base

waht should i build next ?

[viral nexus]

A giant castle with a courtyard and a village

[upbeat shoal]

i need more tar....but at least bro can sleep without current pushing through the room...i guess thats sth ?

[arctic ledge]

Trying to recreate Beowulf's Great Hall: "Heorot".

[frail cargo]

Very early WIP, adding layers 🙂

[copper idol]

After how many goddamn hours I have finally finished this great hall. It's still going to change and I still need to add stuff but I'm really proud of how it came out

Rate it 1-10

[molten osprey]

Spawn village is coming!

[thick condor]

Still working on decoration, but I'm proud of this bridge

[dense sentinel]

finished my mansion

[trail trail]

i love the roof design

[frail cargo]

The Mist Tower. No mods, but devcommands for mats and fly mode.

[jagged sapphire]

Lovely.
Majestic even. You have interior decor shots? 👀

[frail cargo]

Glad you like it 🙂 No interior to speak of really, tried to keep instances down and focused mainly on layering the outside.

[jagged sapphire]

Valid and fair.

[hallow epoch]

i love this transformations

[small oasis]

This is just crazy what people can do in game like these

[slow temple]

Any ideas on what i could add to this wall do make it less boring

[stark egret]

Jut the window out more to add depth to the surface

[exotic totem]

put like a little walk way around with a railing of some kind the same level as the floor on the right. Also another window like @stark egret mentioned. then on the end close to the water you can put liek a staircase onto a dock for your boat.

[slow temple]

alright alright ill try something ty for the help

[slow temple]

i made the window jut out a bit and might grow carrots here under the window

this is the front :b @stark egret lmk what you think

[stark egret]

Looks great! I like the variation in roof angles

[slow temple]

ty ty 🙏

[slow temple]

yesss that was what i was going for

[stray lance]

What are you using for the crates? It looks great

[hallow epoch]

small one made of signs. Big one made of wooden walls ( just hold shift and be patient with placing it 😅 )

[stray lance]

Thanks! Now i have to go spruce up the kitchen 🤩

[hallow epoch]

You can make it this way 😉 #building-screenshots message

[quartz mica]

Blueprint? 🙂

[hoary atlas]

I spent so much time looking for the right radius for this build when I couldve just find the center🫠

[fierce walrus]

Place 2x1m horizontal beams on ground, single rotation turn per every second piece will fit relatively closely within the stones. From there you can get a feel how far one way or another you need to shift to get true centre and then go from there. Three corewood horizontal beams from centre will give you a good web of support out so long as you figure out the height to touch the tops of the stones from the central centred pole.

[hoary atlas]

well I think thats what I tried to do, but its actually best if you try and find the center first like the 2nd image shown

[hallow epoch]

Building a "Master Hunter" house ( at city ), and same time shop - where he selling skins/leather/trophies and some hunting ammunition's, bow's and etc.
It's a bit raw so far - but here mostly general idea. 🏹

[thick condor]

she's done......

[inner pulsar]

The inspiration is a Japanese castle a friend went to see. I Played till Queen kill then built this waiting for Ashland's. I ended up starting over.

[amber path]

hardcore base (i died in)

[lavish jetty]

Torn between a keep or a small cluster of buildings

[sand gulch]

new world, new house. currently in swamp hence the building materials. this house i decided to experiment with having different leveled roofs as well as light posts. build isnt perfectly symmetrical, but i think it turned out well. some last minute touches i plan on doing will be adding heads above the doors and more roof bracings. what do you guys think?

[hollow lily]

Anyone want to visit? I call it Castle on the Sea

[hoary atlas]

idk if anyone has done this but I just found the best way to use kvastur thropy and a forge cooler improvement

[toxic shadow]

Hello this is my current solo survival base. Ashlands boss is all that remains.

I started because I wanted to practice the game while my friends weren't online to have our community server open. I hate feeling like a "bad gamer", so I figured I'd spend some extra time gathering resources/working on my skills to be on par with people that have played already. Turns out I just really like playing the game.

Can't tell if i want to replace this with a grausten castle thing for defense/looks, or just keep it comfy. I get really nostalgic, and I can't tell if I'll hate myself for replacing my base or not.

[silver urchin]

i think.. if you have time and patience, build a new one, maybe near water?

[sand gulch]

aaaand its done. did i cook?

[toxic shadow]

Hmmm good idea…mine is a short walk to the beach but perhaps making a new structure on the coast is the move

[barren moth]

0 chance I could stand near that tower with more than 20 fps

[frail cargo]

It's actually not as bad as I thought it would be, I have between 50 to 60 FPS at the tower atm.

[barren moth]

looks sick. should have walkways along the walls to go between towers

[next dagger]

it's not 100% functional yet :3

[barren moth]

if you want defense while keeping the looks, you could either build an indestructible earth wall around your base with a mote, which will make your base raid-proof until you get flying raids. Or you can bury benches around your base in a radius large enough to cover your mini-map. It takes a very long time, but nothing can spawn during the raids so you're 100% safe

[sand gulch]

barn i built for storing wood piles

[cinder robin]

is it better to build the piles instead of storing them in chests ?

[sand gulch]

i have over 1k of each and while chests is more space efficient, its cooler making piles in a building imo

[hallow epoch]

when you understanding amount of work on project w8ing for you 😩

[fading dust]

how many hrs in?

[hallow epoch]

Depends on what you mean by that 😅

[fading dust]

Up to when u took ur screenshot how many hrs did u spend?

[hallow epoch]

on this project?

[fading dust]

Yep

I have a comparable project in mind - would like to know the general amount of time i need to dedicate

[hallow epoch]

Well on current one - idkn 100-150 maybe 200h. I didn't work on this one consistently

[hallow epoch]

but this one take about a month or so #building-screenshots message

[faint kindle]

But no one is forcing you😁

[hallow epoch]

Honestly 🤣

[hoary atlas]

Super happy on how my kitchen area is turning out, its still not finish but I just wanna share what I came up with. its also the only room that I have decorated so far lmao

[prime pilot]

Progress on the War room.

[jade fern]

before and after

[unborn thunder]

first castle build. also someone made conquests house from invincible

the village from the castle

all built by me, other than the stone tower on the right. this is our first playthrough and first time reaching stone, so this is a giant building compared to what we made before

someone else is also living in the castle, built a second room for them

[hoary atlas]

My Portal Hub

[woven seal]

My first playthrough here's my third house. What do we think? 😂

[crimson granite]

🙂

[faint kindle]

Keep in mind that with the update with biome 8, the developers will reset the area around the stones by 25 meters.

[hoary atlas]

Oof, thank God I saw this, i built 2 houses nearby the altar

[marble vigil]

Oh really, how come? Some changes to the structure of the stones?

[hoary atlas]

25 meters is pretty far ngl, I feel like it might hit my main building

[prime pilot]

Grausten and wood table

[fringe jasper]

any ideas for using this building if I have, for example, cooking, portal and storage buildings

[compact finch]

i don't know how to roof the sides...its built in such a way that one roof piece extends a bit too far

for example

[heavy fable]

@compact finch from wath i can see is like is 3M isted of 4 or 3 maybe you mis a snap point

[compact finch]

the base stone is two stone floors with one half clipping into the other

[heavy fable]

then is 3 meters becose the stone flor is 2x2

[heavy fable]

can you com on a voice chanel is esier to explain

i have bad english righting

[compact finch]

nah sorry i cant rn. i appreciate it, ill figure something

[heavy fable]

ok glad to help

[leaden rose]

You're going to be stuck with either an overhang or clipping on one side or the other. If you're looking for the roof peak centred over your path, you'll need to use the snapping points on a wood door creatively to mark the 1.5m centre point. Then you can add a full roof on either side that will slightly overhang both sides.

[leaden rose]

Your other option is to put in a single slope roof with two roof pieces that clip into each other, similar to what you did with the floor.

[compact finch]

ill have to think about it. thanks

[leaden rose]

or just tear everything down and make a 4m wide path instead. Problem solved.

[crisp owl]

, almost finished

[wooden zealot]

Figured I might as well not waste that under-stair space. Just another storage area but happy with how it looks. All that's left are the signs.

[hot geyser]

working on a fountain inspired by samaramon, crazy lighting!!!

[barren moth]

Yeah... I'm currently building 100 unique POIs, it's going to take a year if not longer.

[hallow epoch]

yeah i build this https://www.reddit.com/r/valheim/comments/1bog7hc/trident_castle_work_of_11_mounth_valheimbotm_some/#lightbox about 11 month - including farming everthing till the last peice of stone lol 😅

[abstract vine]

Nordic Great Hall with cozy viking village

[dense sentinel]

how did you filled water canals?

[small oasis]

i think he built right above ocean level

[dense sentinel]

finished my animal base

[hoary atlas]

New addition to my growing village

I have no idea how to angle everything without using devcommands but this is my progress rn, day 500 and just beaten moder

[barren moth]

Farming stone sucks. You get like 5,000 and it disappears so fast

[hallow epoch]

That's true. Take a guess how many stones are there 😅

[barren moth]

150,000

[hallow epoch]

for a brief count there was more than 250k. But i feel's that there more than that. And that only on that part you can see on front side. Other side of mountain with another one have about 150k+ at least as well.

[barren moth]

and all the stone lost raising/lowering terrain

[prime pilot]

I watched your youtube video Trident castle . Awesome build.

[hallow epoch]

Ty sir. I wish i have better graphic card - to make it more smooth 😅

[fringe jasper]

Finally the ”cooking house” is finished after many trials and errors

[fallen juniper]

a start to our black forest keep

From this to that, it’s all in the process

[fiery timber]

Mega world project, progress so far.

[hallow epoch]

Red and blue - or all red? 🤔

[sand gulch]

i dont fear the ashlands, the ashlands fears me.
was this a good use of my time as being the first thing I did after getting stone portal? no

[alpine cloud]

Yes!

[hoary atlas]

added the windmill to my plains house as part of the build

[faint field]

getting close to finished

[wet atlas]

All red in my opinion

[faint field]

agree

[oblique swallow]

5 biomes in 1 shot

[hallow epoch]

I agreed - Ocean not real biome 😉

[oblique swallow]

Good call, the water in the shot is an inland lake tho, tbh

[hallow epoch]

give that small pool of water a shot 😅

[vestal copper]

My first ever house! what should i do to improve?

[hoary atlas]

I think you want your door to be higher so I suggest using this instead of the wood door

[vestal copper]

done, idk wha 2 do anymore idk where i should go

[hoary atlas]

progression wise? or just building?

[vestal copper]

progression

[hoary atlas]

#valheim-chat or #valheim-help might help you if youre fine with spoilers

[oblique swallow]

hunt some boar and deer

[crimson sigil]

What do y’all think of our base in progress lol 😝

[hoary atlas]

Finally decorated my plains house (bridge coming soon)

[eternal wraith]

just finished my castle (survival mode only). Any tips on how to improve the design? i dont think i like the roof very much, also my spikes are not very spike ish

[crimson sigil]

Brooo! That is the prettiest little home!!!… I personally prefer HUGE complex builds BUT… I very much appreciate a simple modern and cozy vibe build as well!!! You are an excellent builder!!!

[grave flint]

Looks dope I would say a mote and stone ground (with the hoe) would finish this off beautifully

[hoary atlas]

Thanks! I also love huge builds, the first thing I started was this village but I havent finish it due to the lack of resources

[proven stump]

thats beautiful

[hoary atlas]

Thanks! wish growth drops more tar, they are tedious to gather

[proven stump]

real 😭

[silver axle]

what do you guys think of my base? Share your opinion please

[frail cargo]

I love how light works in Valheim. Work in progress.

[proven stump]

I love how much structure the walls have

[frail cargo]

From today's Longest Longhouse stream 🙂

[manic mauve]

Damn you guys are all cooking in here keep it coming

[polar kestrel]

First nice-ish house. What do you guys think?

[sand gulch]

new world, new home. decided to break from my tradition (IE only thing i do cuz i suck), and instead of having the build be symmetrical both width and length wise, i decided to go only one way. also the overhang is cool. thoughts?

[hallow epoch]

Working on such a scale, it's always long run 😅. But - central part of city pretty much done. craftsman district, tavern, Inn and bakery - is done. Now left to accomplish "only" upper quarter, harbor and some docksman houses with various of what could be happening there 😱

[dusky crescent]

after 500 hours of game play

[silver axle]

In addition to exterior there is interior, honestly I mostly decorated first floor where we leaved most of the time so it still work in progress

Two examples of building large using pilars (with wood iron poles on the inside)

[hallow epoch]

this greydwarf farm is overdone 😅

[tawdry bobcat]

there was a two star wolf in there during the screenshot having fun

[hallow epoch]

btw if you place under spawner a woden floor - and then remove that ground piece - you will have flying farm 😅 ( But i ussualy soround it with a steakwalls to )

[hoary atlas]

Pretty happy of what I came up with to cover up the different ground levels and make it seemless

Work in progress 🙂

[wary gorge]

been working on this port again just wanted to share an progress shot real fast 🙂

[buoyant haven]

Pretty happy with my plains farmhouse!

[pine nova]

me home

[alpine cloud]

Made a brewery next to my Chapel build. I think it turned out quite well

[sinful hamlet]

The tumor continues to grow...

buildable in vanilla... but wouldnt reccomend. Still a lot of work to do

[autumn echo]

wdy guys think ? does it need a roof ?

[lucid sandal]

built on xbox series s no mods, friends of mine on pc helped me with planting bushes

[wooden zealot]

Make sure to build a napkin dispenser they said. Okay!

[plush lark]

Spot the runes

Could get really complicated with corewood post runes.

[alpine cloud]

This is a fairly intricate little land scaping build designed to hold my Turnip supply.

[plush lark]

Simply amazing.

I can't wait to see more amazing builds.

I asked for carving. Would absolutely carve a Pictish Beast, first thing.

[quaint dirge]

Further progress pictures of today, No mods, just devcommands/debugmode shenanigans

[hidden hornet]

heres some builds ive been doing, ive never really gotten into vahelim building until this playthrough. my biggest and current project is the tavern

[alpine cloud]

This is one of my Mistland bases. It's got a nice working fireplace and several rooms (for soft tissue refinement and portal) Upstairs has a bedroom nothing fancy.

[carmine pelican]

Hi everyone! I wanted to share some progress screenshots of this new base. It’s being built in survival, with no mods or commands. The project will eventually include several other buildings, such as a forge, tavern, and a few stores.

[frail cargo]

Some pics from this last month's additions to The Longest Longhouse

[worthy geyser]

Damnnn nice

[sand gulch]

what did i forget to cut out this time?

[hallow epoch]

Some shot's from upper quarter 🦦

[faint kindle]

A long time ago, I needed a lot of trophies from greydwarf shamans and savages. That's why the "Tree House" project came about. It's a complex of buildings with comfortable housing, a stump farm itself, and two warehouses.

[hybrid cradle]

A quaint little cabin built only with materials up to Black Forest.

[hidden hornet]

hot tub room

[buoyant haven]

The thistle chandelier is incredible.

[frail cargo]

Work in progress 🙂

[urban shard]

survival build, normal resource modifiers. i may or may not have ripped off one of my friends into a contract to supply most of the stone 😅

[idle scaffold]

Hello, i enjoy looking at what i can find here Nice eyecandys you guys make. Here is my current Homebase. I am at the point of preparing to take on bonemass. Skal!

[stray spindle]

love the build shares

[barren moth]

built an island prison in serpent infested waters. has progressively higher level cell blocks with a drowned prison ward and a little platforming section to reach a chest. friendly sea monster to make the platforming more fun. :)
also has a treasure room where the wardens barricaded themselves in.

[fleet kelp]

Did you use mods to place the mobs ore did you incorporate natural spanws?

[barren moth]

I just used dev commands, it's a 1 time clear

[fleet kelp]

Pretty cool. Nice Job

[barren moth]

ty :)

[fleet kelp]

Start of day 7 and starter house is finally complete. Finally I can start playing the game.

[heavy fable]

My first Museum

[muted wind]

my swamp crypt base near the bog witch

[frail cargo]

Work in progress of a work in progress 😁

[tawdry adder]

Did u do it in creative?

[frail cargo]

Devcommands for materials and fly mode, just building for fun 🙂

[fleet kelp]

Did my best at making a water wheel, only realized afterwards that it was too high lmao

[fleet kelp]

Finished build on main house, interior is still a mess but outside im happy with.

[fleet kelp]

Final spam post of the same build. Added some "paddles" to the water wheel and I think that helped a lot. Most of the other work done was interior though.

[woven seal]

How did you place those paddles?? What build piece is that?

[fleet kelp]

Its just a regular floor piece, but I used a mod to rotate pieces in different direction.

[woven seal]

Ah, mod, that explains it lol

[fleet kelp]

Yeah, Idk if theres any way to replicate it fully vanilla.

[viral nexus]

There's not, but you could do four paddles, two with walls top and bottom and two with floors left and right, i also thought it looked better without them though

[void gulch]

Jarnvidr. 5th attempt at making a city with every building have matching the structural design and style ⚒️

[crisp owl]

why remove so much land

[fleet kelp]

So that I can place more buildings and better get around. I plan for a path along the river with building and a bridge to cross to the other landmass.

[fleet kelp]

If I end up redoing it, I would lower it and make it 3m for the spokes instead of a single 2m beam and potentially use only 1m floors for the bits that stick out on the end.

[tidal hemlock]

love this!! its gonna be so beautiful (it already is) once the land around it gets filled out with builds and grass and trees and such

also for those angled waterwheel pieces without mods, people could manually place a few layers of beams.. it would take some finessing and be a bit thicker but i bet it would still look nice

[rustic roost]

Getting back to Valheim... Been working on a portal hub (finally). 2 layers, perhaps 3 in the future but I doubt I'll need that many portals.

Should probably add a railing to the second layer.

[idle scaffold]

very nice set up with the tree 🙂 i like it

[rustic roost]

The tree was definitely the cherry on top. Was first considering placing a camp fire in the middle but then I figured an oak tree would be a lot more suitable.
Oh and I think I’m gonna call this portal hub something related to the sun, as its shape kind of looks like a sun.

[spare mango]

My newly created Great Hall

[oblique swallow]

Feasting like lost boys in neverland

[hidden hornet]

heres 2 builds i made, one for the workbench and one for the forge

[atomic acorn]

Last picture is inspiration 😄 any wow players here?

[slate solar]

you no take candle

[hollow coyote]

Awhile back I would go server to server as a trader. I usually just would hop on, drop off/recieve items, then leave. Had the idea of maybe going back to that but with a cart this time. I saw someone on reddit had something similar years ago, so I wanted to make my own iteration of the cart.

[hidden hornet]

redesigned my chimney (with ideas from people in this disc) much happier with the new design lol

[rustic roost]

Before vs after. I improved my first ever (solo-made) Valheim house and turned it into an inn (The Golden Sheaf).
Still gotta work on the terrain around it though, but the build itself seems to be done!

[fervent hornet]

Proper glow up of your old building. Looks nice.

[clear heath]

An artificial cave built under a large chain of stones in the mountains

[fleet kelp]

That's sick

[keen bay]

That is DELICIOUS

great use of the varied grey textures of stone and grausten, and those stone golem trophies

[thick lark]

Another play through solo. Base I built to deter trolls from destroying it xD

[rustic roost]

Today I made a lodge (with waterwheel). Still gotta add some details (like wood piles, tools laying around, worktables, seats, machinery, etc...) but the shell is basically done.
PS: this waterwheel took me an eternity to build, so many weird shapes...

[shell fable]

how do you guys like my hard core survival? (vanilla)

[tidal hemlock]

Omg the nostalgia lol

[old minnow]

Brothers and sisters I may have cooked once again.

I introduce to you, the Troll Cave Café

A secret does lie within…

The select few that visit my tavern may be invited within. Fit for any and all your minglings, dealings, war meetings and whatever other needs you may have. But be careful, some say the troll may return home someday.

WIP Survival base

[somber hound]

still working on my new town

[hearty gull]

This is looking gorgeous, great work!

[mellow fox]

My friends and I were inspired by this sketch, did it turn out well?

[hearty gull]

I'd say it did! Now it needs some walls to protect it from being demolished. 😅

[mellow fox]

Yeah

[somber hound]

closer look i lowkey bad at terraforming ill fix it later 😭

[hearty gull]

Haha, well you're an amazing builder I'll give you that, terraforming comes with time! Took me ages to tune into it.

[somber hound]

tysm for the compliment

[tawdry bobcat]

modded screenshots go in #mods-screenshots

[faint mantle]

Sometimes it's silly little build items that really make me happy.

[old minnow]

Interesting what is it for

[marble spoke]

Finally finished main home base, excited to keep going

[viral nexus]

It's for looking like a bonemaw serpent

[fleet kelp]

Tbh, I kinda thought it looked owl shaped lol. I thought it was an owl statue. Especially that second picture.

[severe cosmos]

First time building in the mountains

[frail cargo]

Interior WIP stuff 🙂

[hot geyser]

@oblique swallow This is what I was talking about, just throwing ideas out for u

[somber hound]

lil cooking house and a farm i made for my friend he love cooking in this game

[dreamy mason]

I’m currently updating the house (Srry for the bad photo)

[hearty gull]

Going to have to use your builds as inspiration, I just love the cozy yet well crafted vibes.

[somber hound]

tysm Omni i just kinda build what i have seen IRL and try to mimic the style

[hearty gull]

Whatever you're doing keep it up heh 🤘

[somber hound]

appreciate it !

[late tundra]

me no likey that me can't build stone roof.

[odd quarry]

You kinda can if you do it in step-form

[late tundra]

i used steps here but i can't seem to get them properly supported regardless of what i add. i've even tried iron poles and stone pillars. ngl i might just mod the game to remove the support requirements or add a mod that adds actual stone roofs and more stone structures before obtaining Grausten late game.

[odd quarry]

Try iron grates as a type of rebar, im not sure of the horizontal support limit of grates tho

[late tundra]

#building-discussion message

[oblique swallow]

you did this?

[waxen sparrow]

I finally finished it... OOOOOOOFFfff I do need a good rest

[somber hound]

just catched a nice view from here

[grim turtle]

Funny how people complain a lot about wrong channel emotes on here xD

[fleet kelp]

Why is this a thing with the corner pieces?

[fleet kelp]

Still bad at being able to fit a campfire inside with proper ventilation.

Interiors are hard for me

[fleet kelp]

Updated interior. Worked a fireplace into the corner.

From outside. Sorry for darka nd rainy

[short parcel]

What do you think about this space idea ? isn't it "too" big ? 🤔 I was wondering about a 2nd floor which would have a balcony on the right, laid on the rocks

[empty helm]

hi guys, my first unfinished serverbase 😅

my second and now used unfinished serverbasec😂

[hybrid egret]

Local brewery - 8 barrels - #Onlywood (Stonebase for fireplace)

[hallow atlas]

Can't wait to get stone, until then wood still looks noice

[hybrid egret]

Portalroom for fun

[frail cargo]

Mountain outpost outgrowing outpost... 😁

[hoary ermine]

Behold, my son's first house! He's 8, by the way.

[woven seal]

In my opinion, he’s done a fantastic job! Legendary beginning to a journey!

[summer verge]

@hard ridge just gotta do the rest of the interior (sorry for the ping i know its been 2 years

[fading idol]

Wow. Y'all making some amazing stuff!
Haxx0red trying to get my spice rack stuck up over the hearth area.
Ended up finding the perfect spot for an item stand to hang it from. It's not the prettiest, but it's mine.

[muted wind]

More proud of this than i should be

better angle

[fading idol]

I can't blow up this corner. -_-

[warm jasper]

really like this simple, clean kitchen i did for our castle. my favourite detail is the floor lockers!

[fervent hornet]

You have reached the depth limit in that spot.

[fading idol]

Well. So much for this oceanside resort I was starting.

[hearty gull]

At least you learned that lesson somewhat early, I've seen people with entire villages built before learning they couldn't dig out certain places.

[fading idol]

That was my thought, too, and now I'm glad that I started laying down beam forms for the framing before building more. It will remain a pit stop on the way to the bigger swamp.

[leaden rose]

@cinder shale Portal hub in the foreground (right), workshop directly ahead of char. behind the workshop to the right is my lox pen and chicken coop. Beehives in the background left are on the roof of my kitchen attached to my dining area with bedroom 2nd level above in the back. You can see the tower in the far back, not large.

[cinder shale]

damn i was aiming for like more more towers and more castle look but will sstill use as a ref

[leaden rose]

I'm not the most imaginative builder. Check these builders channels for more inspiration.

[quaint gate]

Meadows home practice with meadows mats

[thick condor]

Interesting use of signs

[vivid robin]

Mushroom bridge 😄

[shut spire]

Gonna be building a bridge between ||Ashlands islands|| (likely gonna do the same with Deep North should they have similar mechanics)

[hallow atlas]

Boar pen and carrot farm set up. Room for barn to have Mead Ketill and Fermenter's

[hallow atlas]

Also a starter pier

[empty helm]

Chess floor from The Longest Longhouse.

[dire parcel]

A base a built that i'm quite pleased with( couldnt get a better screenshot without the character blocking most of it)

[cold patio]

not really that impressive but i think its kinda cozy yk
