Building a Big Starter House! [Enshrouded Ep. 2]

Welcome to Enshrouded episode 2! I'm so excited to take a look at the building in this new survival game! Today I'm building a large starter house with only three materials to get us through a lot of early game adventure! I'd love to build a small village in the future :)

[@Ghost_PM11]

I think this is gonna be my favorite base builder. As flexible as Minecraft but with better voxel resolution for details, beautiful graphics like Valheim but without the constraints of physics, lots of interior pieces for decoration. It's perfect 10/10

[@jupiterthree5228]

My favorite part of building games is seeing what other people make. Such creativity.

[@AineAmber]

Oh. My. God. FINALLY someone who actually builds AND reads, paying attention to the lore! My subscription to you, friend~

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks!! Glad you're enjoying the videos! I'm definitely loving every bit of this game haha!

[@SilvanOrion]

I can't thank you enough for how well this video was done. I'm not great at building in survival games and was not only able to follow along, but to learn how and why different choices were made. I can't wait to see your future builds!

[@Chiselchip]

So glad it was helpful!

[@Masked_One_1316]

@@Chiselchip 11:24 so it uses 32 because you already have blocks there it uses 24 but is 3636 how many you can make?

[@Binkus6-ye1ct]

@@Masked_One_1316 It's the number of total blocks he has left, not necessarily the number of pillars he can make

[@WildflowersCreations]

Watching the game change from night to day as you sleep is quite beautiful in this game. I don't think I have seen anything like it in any other game. I also really like that there are beds throughout the world that I have explored to sleep and watch this from different view points.

[@Chiselchip]

Definitely! A lot of very nice touches that were well thought out when building the world!

[@WildflowersCreations]

@@Chiselchip Looking forward to seeing many more builds from you in different locations. Your hobbit build has been my favorite so far.

[@Chiselchip]

I definitely can't wait to do more cozy unique builds like that! That's definitely what this game is good at!! @@WildflowersCreations

[@dazzzmanschannel]

So many building options in Enshrouded considering such a simple building mechanic I love ❤️ starting a new game just to see what I can do differently so cool

[@TheNekogal]

Your building videos have convinced me to get the game, I love base building and decorating, though I'm not very good at the outsides it really helps to have videos like this! You're creative, helpful, and make very awesome builds. Also, your voice is really nice and calming, so much so that I found myself dozing off a little, though it doesn't help that it's late right now. :p Thanks so much for your content!

[@Chiselchip]

So happy you're enjoying the videos, and have fun with the game! It's definitely worth it!

[@timoschmidt1429]

love the long episode of just building a house, cause I´m really bad at it and I just learned a lot of stuff by just watching this. Keep it up !

[@Chiselchip]

So glad it helped!

[@billyrowe0064]

11:35 what a good building system. You can delete small pieces and it knows how it should look. I also had a question like "If you use a 4 height column, would it subtract the amount of stone you already have there?" and then you answered the very question... I've never seen such an intelligent building system like this before.

[@Temulon]

Damn Chiselchip, I spent 6 hours yesterday building your starter cabin, it took that long for me to work out the roofing mechanics, finally finished it, love the ambiance and now I'll have to tear it out and build this one, which is way nicer. Oh well, I think I'll get the materials back though.

[@Chiselchip]

Haha glad you like the design!! Yah as long as you have the flame alter placed when you dismantle it then you will get all the materials back! It's all about practice, once you get used to the roofing it all gets easier... After having done the first starter house this one only took me about 3 hours to build with my friend helping gather materials

[@brucescott5387]

I also made a copy, with a few minor changes, for one of my characters. Was thinking of leaving it then the update and new content dropped. Replaced all the stone with red marble and the rough wood with palm wood. Looks dope.

This series got you a sub. It's clear, without being obnoxious and calm. Loved it!

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying it :)

[@surfacehealer6395]

the arches are grid dependent. so if it doesn't arch it means that the wall needs to be moved 1 block in or out to get the arch.

[@Chiselchip]

Yah! I finally noticed that on the new build I did today! That makes sense, and glad I know that now, Thanks!

[@Diamond-Adder]

I have your videos on my other screen while I play as well and it's totally enhanced it, your chill voice helps to as opposed to the typical over hyped youtuber voice. Please keep the content coming it's been awesome!

[@lencombs67]

Thank you for this build guide, I used it to learn the build mechanics. I added some stone framing around the windows in mine, I look forward to seeing the interior!

[@TheBeardedOG]

I am excited to give this game a try. Some of the best building mechanics I’ve seen in a survival game. Thanks for the video!

[@Chiselchip]

Definitely one of the best building games I’ve ever played! Will be sinking 1k + hrs into that alone 😄

[@okay7464]

Once you get further in you should do a mini build series again like valheim!

[@Chiselchip]

Awesome idea :) I was thinking of some similar ideas later on when I work on a small village project!

[@BlackMetalChauvinist]

The sleep is nice because only one person needs to lay down to speed it up. So if your buddy wants to stay working you can leave them there and go to bed and speed it up for both of you.

[@pugapug9456]

Started with this as a template for my Hall of the Flameborn, went with rough cut stone as the base, shrouded wood as the second tier, and flintstone shingles as the roof.

[@NXDNXRD]

Great build! Youre super talented! Thanks for the timestamps!! 🎉

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks :) Glad you enjoyed it!

[@TheGingerbert]

Good tip knowing that overlapping isnt a thing in this game , love how it calculates the desired amount of blocks to use , They made portal knights way back when and have very much improved on the building mechanics .So much to come from this game

[@truenorthscalemotorsports527]

For you arched trim pieces you're working on (time stamp around the 24min mark) the ones that came up "arched" were done from the ground but the ones you did from the "porch" were elevated, try knocking out a porch piece then doing the trim.

[@Chiselchip]

Great idea, I'll try that!

[@steveridley8642]

If that doesn't work it looked like the solid part of the block silhouette was facing the pillar when it arched and was facing the wall when it didn't.

[@4x4DemonWithin]

@@steveridley8642 exactly what I observed. it arches when you place the block on the door frame part, not the side of the wall!

[@celticphilosopher1038]

I know I am late to the party, but I wanted to thank you for the series, and your tips. You have provided me with significant inspiration and your build episodes specifically are my favorite. I have taken your techniques and put a bit'o me own flavor to it. Keep up the good work loving the stream.

[@DeschGaming]

I love this build. Think ill use it and modify it a bit. Gonna experiment and make a chimney and see how that would look at the back of the house. Maybe use the cooking pit as the base of it and build stone around it and have the smoke make its way out of the house.

[@Chiselchip]

Definitely! That'd be awesome!

[@Firise]

I've been restoring Longkeep the entire week now. And then I realised how close it is to the starting spawnpoint and it doesn't make any sense to have a flameshrine there. So 60 hours of building and now we move our mainbase north, lol. I love to build, so I don't mind building around 6 flameshrines.

[@Chiselchip]

Sounds like a fun project! Yah I kinda like the flame alter thing where if you want you can just make everything disappear and start over or build somewhere else!

[@Firise]

@@ChiselchipThe map is too big for the amount of flames we can set. I want to build a forever city, based on the beautiful things you built. But I can't decide the best spot for it.

[@medicgator2111]

I prefer to take over allready made buildings and settlements. Thats another option for you enshrouded folks. that being said your house looks amazing. very talented. I wish I had that kind of talent.

[@Chiselchip]

It's definitely a ton of fun and running very smooth!!

[@amydavis4945]

I'm really liking the building in this game (as well as the gameplay). There is SO much you can do with the different sizes - whether it's to fill out **large** areas quickly, or using the small pieces for accent work. I don't like the roof appex visual as it is at the moment, and I hope they do tweak that a bit in the near future. I also hope that in the future there will be more shapes to choose from (circular, cones, arches, fences, gates, etc.). This is so early in "Early Access" though, that I'm really happy with how much we can do at this very beginning. Thanks for a great building video! It's fun to see how others put things together! I'm subbing now! ❤

[@nilelarsson4973]

Now, I'm not sure if this is relevant or if you found out later. But I think I saw a difference in how you placed the blocks to get that arch you wanted. If you watch the placement at 23:39 and 23:48 in the video it might be the answer to your question. As of the time this was uploaded the game is a little bit finnicky about the placement, maybe.

Have you done a video on floating bases yet? If not there is no stability mechanics in this game soooo…. U can build floating bases lol something I’m sure intrigues u… if u go to a cliff and place a fire altar at the edge u can build floor blocks in the air within the building area then place another altar n pick up the first one then rinse n repeat building out as far as u decide to go… so u can build a base floating above the shroud they also have illuminated blocks/stones u can harvest u can use to build so if u build something above the shroud u can build scaffold blocking to get u under the base and put illuminated blocks under the base… at nighttime it looks absolutely amazing just some food for thought since I know u like building awesome bases… anyway love ur content hope u keep playing this for quite some time 💯🎯

[@Johan-ru9wl]

@Chiselchip how much material of each type did you have to use to build this?

[@KingJerbear]

Cool build man. I'm surprised how much I'm loving this game, it really reminds me of the perfect combination of Valheim and Skyrim. The exploration and questing is really well done, and the building capabilities seem really impressive too. My only gripe is that the snapping and placement seems a quite a bit clunkier than Valheim.

[@Chiselchip]

Snapping gets easier the more you do it, glad you're enjoying the game :)

[@Pirate_tat87]

You do know you can damage all of the barrels and everything to get extra wood if needed

[@djherro1730]

23:29 So this is something that cannot be changed (At the moment) as far as I'm aware, I first noticed this with the Flint Stone blocks, on one side their shows some kind of flint ledge on 1 side of the flat wall block, and on the other side it doesn't appear, it looks as though this is set to the North and West or East and South, and no matter whether too rotate the blocks, it'll remain the same side, which is slightly annoying, looks as though this is the same for other materials used!

[@Chiselchip]

Yah, they arch every other one, so i'd have to make the wall one block out for it to work

[@oldschooldiablo169]

regarding the arches when placing a 1x1 block. there is no way to force these arches. doesnt matter the rotation or where your looking. if you look close when placing those beams around the cabin part of the build. you can see which sides will form these arches. you will see a slight arch already forming. if you dont see a slight arch already forming. theres nothing that can be done those sides just wont arch. this is a bug. iv also noticed. only 2 sides of a build currently can form arches. even if you try building based on compass directions it doesnt matter its random which two sides will form these arches

[@Chiselchip]

Yah they seam to form on every other block, so only work around would be to bring the wall out by one more block

[@HaloEchoe419]

The first base I built I made little block by little block because I never realized you could actually use the hammer to speed the process along lol, took me a while but I made a decent starter house. I felt real dumb when I realized that could have be infinitely faster 😅
