  • There is a lot of things to get wrapped up with in Valheim. One of the most popular and important activities is home building. Building a basic home is pretty straight forward, but can often end up looking, well, basic. Especially when you're new to the game. In this video I will show you how to improve the stability of your house as well as methods of detailing it which will take your home to a new level of aesthetics.
    If this video is longer than you have time for, simply save it to your 'watch later' list and come back when you have the time. This tips are important and I'd hate for you to miss out on them due to a lack of time.
    Thanks for watching! Feel free to ask any questions of share your personal tips in the comment section below.

    Props to you man! Your the first person to actually use wood and a workbench to build. Everywhere else I look I see people using a mod and they don't even bother to tell you that. So if a new player watches those vids be like "How the hell is he flying?" Anyway Thanks for actually telling us how to build it traditionally with resources.

    I personally like to make the skeleton of my home out of core wood. The round shape just adds so much more to the aesthetic and depth of the house, compared to the square shapes of the regular wood beams, and you can get them relatively early in the game too. Another advantage is that it's stronger than the regular beams too, so you will need less support columns.
    Also, when you get a stonecutter (you will need iron for this), try combining stone and wood in your build. Like using a stone floor in a kitchen or workshop, or using stone walls as a foundation for the rest of your house. That just adds a little more variety and detail to your build.

    • @gamestar.nation
      @gamestar.nation  6 месяцев назад +2

      I like the look of a corewood frame, as well. I usually do that on my workshops and lodges.

      @gamestar.nation  Год назад +1

      Nice! The game is great, but personally I feel like the building is the most rewarding aspect. It’s awesome to be sailing home from an expedition and see your city/base/castle appear in the distance. Good stuff 👍

    If you do Hildir's quests you get an iron fire pit that can be placed on wood. I installed one at the top of a wooden lighthouse. Put glass around it too.

    the idea to turn the posts for the windows to add flair is genius!
    I also like to turn the walls so the two cross beams are on the outside so it gives more texture on the exterior of the home.
    And don't forget you can toggle the snap points by using E (or whatever keys is bound to it). This allows for FAR EASIER bridge construction along with construction in general.

    Dope video. I'm brand new to Valheim, so I'm browsing to try and set myself up for an easier time. This video helped give me ideas, and get more comfortable with the building. I've played a little bit of Conan Exiles, Rust, and now Lego Fortnite, which all have similar building styles, so hopefully it won't be too hard of a transition. As a side note, I'm not sure if these settings are present, but turning off lens flare/godrays, and maybe bloom for recording, it should help with that sun getting in your eyes! Lol

    14:43 no, just press Q and the builder will give you a snapping point to control the placement instead of using the auto snap. Please press Q. I think E also works to cycle through the snapping points that are available for each build item.
