Building a Cozy House in the Forest! [Enshrouded Ep. 10]

[@gigi3242]

You are not only a great builder, you're a great teacher, thank you. I am not really good at building in these games, but I can come watch your videos, and learn techniques that make my place look better. I appreciate that you take the stress out of building for me. Have an awesome weekend.

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks!! So happy the videos are inspiring and fun to follow along with! Have a good weekend as well!

[@______Daniel]

Seconded

[@WildflowersCreations]

Very well said, he is a great teacher in the way he is making these episodes.

[@btackett2]

Your builds are absolutely amazing. I am level 13 or 14 now and still haven't built my permanent home. Getting a lot of tips from your vids. Thanks a ton

[@Squire-Dave]

Chiselchip, you are the Bob Ross of Valheim and Enshrouded.

[@Chiselchip]

haha thanks! Glad you enjoy the video style!!

[@morgan5941]

@@Chiselchip A thing to note on the fireplace, the rock floor should extend out a foot or two into the room. It kind of acts as a fire barrier.

[@Chiselchip]

Oh yes I totally forgot about that! Thanks! @@morgan5941

[@cnbzferguson8521]

So sooothing!

[@DrowsieDumbo]

At first I thought the building in Enshrouded was pretty basic, but after spending more time with it I realize how much you can actually do and I find it impressive. The ability to create walls and then remove 1 block sections, dig tunnels under your base, different types of lighting or even adding secret doors to other rooms.. it's quite a lot you can get done creatively. Most other games that have in depth building like this aren't also loaded with other great escapes. Tired of building? Go explore. Tired of that? Go smash some enemies heads' in. The combat is satisfying, the building is intuitive, the crafting is deep and intriguing.. I am glad I didn't pass up on this game. Most fun I've had with a PC game in easily a decade.

[@MagicRacoonYt]

Absolutely agree, I thought the same. However I've learned so many cool ways to use certain tools now. I made an Enchanted Forest Grove combining a lot of them.

[@maryobrien5261]

I could write this whole paragraph about Minecraft

[@terrycrook2349]

I love the way you can dig down create unde4ground areas bases etc

[@Umgijus]

This video has me sold with enshrouded's building mechanic. Can't wait to get into this game.

[@ralgoman]

If you lay down a big foundation block and then remove it it will leave the area open. Its a way faster way to make a basement.just keep laying and removing the blocks to open up the ground as deep as you want

[@Chiselchip]

Ah very true!! Didn't think of that haha but definitely will be using that trick next time!!

[@Temulon]

@@Chiselchip I used that trick to make a huge area inside a high stone cliff, kinda like a dwarf fortress. Carved it out in just 10 minutes. AND it didn't use any resources.

[@PumpkinHoard]

Thank you good sir, that is about to come in VERY handy.

[@nmsspacedude9799]

CC, yet again you show us what a gift you have for building. This is a particularly 'atmospheric' look - I could just imagine Hansel and Gretel, lost in the forest, coming across this little home in a clearing and having their adventure. Awesome indeed!

[@Chiselchip]

Yah that’s a great way to describe the build! I definitely know a lot of those fairy tales!

[@HaploBartow]

Oh no, I had no idea this game existed, but this looks really fun! Finally, an open-world exploration game with a building/crafting system that gives you modularity all the way down to the half-meter size!.

[@RaneRansom]

One thing that might add to this house is a road, perhaps? If you find dirt roads and pickaxe them, you'll get "Dirt Road Block" from them. You can then carve out a road then fill them in with said block - also still provides the "on The Road" buff, too! Loving the videos, btw!

[@ArmitageShanksMC]

They definitely need to add some more deco blocks, like a smoker block for the top of chimneys. A nice plume of smoke coming from the chimney would really complete the aesthetic of this woodlands log cabin.

[@markucla]

Just put a candle on top. You won't see it and you'll see a little of the smoke, or use a torch and kinda bury it inside the Chimney and watch the smoke bellow out.

[@ArmitageShanksMC]

@@markucla I didn't think candles and torches made a lot of smoke, I never really paid too much attention. I'll give it a try, cheers.

[@markucla]

@@ArmitageShanksMC They don't make a "lot" of smoke but enough to make it look like a small fire is brewing inside. ;)

[@zeonos]

The building in this game is on another level and you really show it off in an inspiring way that makes we want to go straight back into the game and give it a go.

[@assassinwolf7216]

Huzzah another video! I have been watching these while working, very chill and relaxing experience, thanks for keeping up with this series!

[@Chiselchip]

Glad you're enjoying the adventure!! It's been a lot of fun!

[@jupiterthree5228]

They did phenomenal with designing the game. The build pieces are so pretty. 😍 So is the world.

[@Chiselchip]

Agreed! It's awesome!!

[@Krohl007]

Thanks for the awesome building tutorials. You are the Bob Ross of Enshrouded :)

[@Chiselchip]

Haha thanks!! Glad you're enjoying them!!

[@WildflowersCreations]

Watching your build process was very useful and inspiring. Thank you so much. Really enjoyed the switch-up in episode content.

[@betterthantelevision]

Spent a couple hours renovating my base today. Haven't played any with the building aspect since I started, but found myself needing the space.

[@delphicdescant]

Making a little half wall for your attic/loft floor so that the roof sits a bit higher would make it a more usable space, imo. You could even add dormers or something if you did that. Would be very nice.

[@Chiselchip]

Yah I’ve got larger builds like that, this one was meant to be small, but yes it could be modified in many ways

[@SuperAdventureR1301]

The building in this game is just incredible. Coming off of Palworld that has such infuriating collision physics and limited block diversity, this is so much fun. Minecraft building with modern graphics essentially.

[@carlosrodriguez1958]

I agree with your choice going with the flintstone. The shroud wood is a great look overall, but the flint went well with the forest. Nice cabin!

[@andrewcullinane8112]

Love it. Im making three of these things out of different blocks for my villagers

[@Chiselchip]

Sounds awesome!

[@Asrahn]

This was a lovely build! I don't play Enshrouded but you really manage to highlight just how potent the building system in it is.

[@6host6alaxy]

Thank you for sharing these expertly crafted hearths with us. You have an eye for design and it shows in your builds. You manage to bring the perfect location and home together to make something special. If you challenged yourself to make a dwelling in a difficult location, or to make a nice venue fit a challenging home, I bet you could do unexpected things. You're also not afraid to make changes to your build, even though it means taking a chance and redoing your hard work. I think the outcome is better as a result. I love this cozy build, and your tricks with the roof blocks really made it pop. Very inspirational.

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! Yah I definitely have a lot of fun with building games :)

[@DropB3arZ]

Fun Video, love the trick with the roof blocks around the windows and doors

[@MakoRuu]

The building in this game is literally next level. Nothing even really comes close to it.

[@verstellemi]

If you place a foundation block clipping into the ground and the right click it to remove, it will remove all the ground it was clipped into. You can clear out huge swaths of land with it really fast.

[@blankpanda9334]

You are one hell of a master builder.

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks 🙌

[@cinnamonsparrowdesigns]

I wanna live there IRL! That looks so cozy and nice. I like the small details that give it a lot of personality. I didn't really plan to play this game but now I kinda want to so I can live in the woods haha

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! Yah the woods of Revelwood are pretty cozy!

[@junnananas]

omg thank you for posting this, i was just about to start building but had no idea where to start, this helped so much with ideas

[@Chiselchip]

Glad it gave some inspiration:)

[@kevinpedersen5290]

the flint looks perfect for this build

[@Kaleburto]

Great stuff! I enjoy these build videos and always learn something new, thanks!

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[@matthewtarpill3259]

Good job Ben! Building houses in real life and in the computer world 🎉

[@Chiselchip]

Haha thanks Matt! It’s fun to do it here and not have to run to Home Depot every hour and spend a fortune 🤣 prepping for the day when it can happen for real haha

[@pipeliner3264]

So i took your advice and played around with single block pieces to get different textures and designs. If you use the tarred roof block and place blocks directly above the window then down the sides skipping the corners it will cause the peak carvings to appear giving some extra detail around your windows

[@Chiselchip]

Oo awesome! I’ll have to try that!

[@caladran]

Lovely and comfy looking cottage!

[@MrDrowranger87]

Cozy little place , I saw a guy rebuild entire Braelyn Bridge and use it like a base

[@Chiselchip]

That's awesome! Yah super cool that you can rebuild old structures!!

[@tk20channel]

I cannot wait to build my new rustic cottage in the woods! Great video, and quite calming too. Glad to find your channel and thank you!

[@kolosmenus]

25:10 I like using citywall block for exterior stonework. The walls and columns have a little bit of roots and vines covering them.

[@Chiselchip]

Oh nice! I'll have to try that when I get that block!

[@kolosmenus]

@@Chiselchip You can get it where you get the circular saw blade for the carpenter. There's a boss nearby and you need to climb the tower behind it.

[@butterbreze9716]

I love the cozy little house. very detailed and inspiring 😍👍 You dit a very good job.

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! So happy you like it!

[@shamelesshayden621]

Your videos are so inspirational! I have watched a few now and I'm learning a lot,☺ because I am not a great builder but, I have learned quite a bit by watching your videos. Thank you for putting out these videos and I hope you continue to make more videos to inspire people like me to build better in Enshrouded!

[@Chiselchip]

Thank you so much! Glad they are inspiring and enjoyable!! :)

[@tsukiglow]

I've just bought the game and your videos were the final push for me! Excited to play this, would love to see more future builds from you :)

[@AJR99]

This is very close to the location I picked to build my mid-tier base, but I went the "hollow out a mountain for a dwarven-style hall" route, lol. Beautiful scenery in Revelwood, and the build system itself is just so user-friendly and awesome!

[@Chiselchip]

Yah I love this forest!

[@joeaardvark9214]

I'm realizing how important outposts are in this game. Some of the spires are way too are to get to in a day.

[@Chiselchip]

Yah! It's very nice for better travel!

[@Jasminecbisme]

Love your builds! They inspire me to build.

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks!! So happy you enjoy them!

[@WarTableCustoms]

I love everything about this build. From the look to the location, I needed this in my game. I followed your instructions and it turned out amazing! Thank you!

[@Chiselchip]

So glad it was inspiring!

[@ViperDeMLG]

Amazing build and really relaxing, would love to see more of these!

[@greminem84]

instructions for the lazy, you can borrow a ready-made house, having previously renovated it, the plus is that there will be decorative elements and an appearance that you cannot build, but there will be all the advantages

[@Borrismin778]

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks 🙌

[@superttggee]

Another great build! Got stuck in Palworld last week but downloaded Enshrouded on launch and today it’s time to set of!

[@moniqueholmes7416]

Very nice build enjoed every step of the way!!

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeronimoarangogomez5691]

Very, very cool!!

[@nstheboss]

This game looks absolutely sick. My PC meets the minimum requirements but I'd like to play on max settings so this will be number 1 on the list when I get a new PC! Also beautiful build!

[@MattMeatbag]

Great tutorial, thanks 👍🏻 I have found that placing Foundation pieces and then removing them is a quick way to excavate earth etc

[@eolond1003]

Glad I found your channel! I'm about to finally settle and set up my permanent base, and you're giving me great ideas already :D

[@Chiselchip]

Welcome! So glad it's inspiring!

[@BloomWithGracie]

That is really pretty. Love it!

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! :)

[@RichHeart89]

I like what you did with the roof block, especially the pillar indoors for the staircase. But I absolutely hate how blocky it made the windows look, especially when the Tarred wood already makes windows look amazing even if they're just left as holes

[@dillonjohnson8810]

I hope the devs see this video. They'd be proud.

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks :) Maybe they will someday! They definitely created an awesome game!

[@itzstone]

The dark wood with the light columns math the dark shingles with flint walls 👍

[@PEWPlays]

i need a cozy Farming game that looks and builds like this.

[@Valkuriegaming]

Wow, great build! looks amazing 😁

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks :)

[@zefcy889]

I love your build designs your should make a separate videos on just builds

[@djnorth2020]

After Valheim, the building can feel a little clunky at first. But it's a big upgrade visually and after 50 hours of mostly progressing in taking a break to build. And what's better than to learn from the best. 👍

[@Chiselchip]

Yah you’ll get used to the building soon! It’s a lot of fun, just a little learning curve from some games :)

[@Dokdiamant]

I builded a little Village in my Savegame instead of only one House, and I used in one House Standard Stone Bricks and Defense Wall Bricks (the ones that looks more old, weathered and with some wines on them). I builded a Living Part and the Forge beneth it and I found an interesting "Bug" I think... When I go into the forge part, you wouldn't encounter anything strange. But if I go into the living Quarter part, there are all kinds of strange noises in the background. You could think there is some kind of Ghost there. The cosy home becomes spooky from it. Funny thing is: It is made out of Half-timbered house blocks, Pillars of Standard Stone Blocks and this Defense Wall Bricks, with a Floor made out of red wooden blocks and grey shingles for the roof. Also, if you make a House, compleatly out of stone, you get a pretty hefty hall sound in them. xD I like your houses, but it would be interesting to see, how you would make a complete Village with streets, an outer wall and houses / Workplaces for each NPC and yourself. ^^

[@Tazman345]

i did a basic "hut" stumbled on your video....now I'm building a house into a rock lol. i wish they did crafting from chests in this game but i guess that might be in the future, but ur videos are very calming and really open peoples eyes up to the possibilities

[@Chiselchip]

Thanks! And yah there are chests later that you can :)

[@Tazman345]

@@Chiselchip I just unlocked them after a heafty stint in the game. The lvl jumps are no joke tho!!! Insane amount of scope in the game for more content considering the size of the map

[@mariajromaley]

GG ! This is a wonderful build !

Thank you :)

Love that deck railing. This looks fantastic

[@promisize]

This game have a damn potential.

[@peachysenpai0]

today is my first time hearing about this game since i am not super active on steam, or really aware of new games that come out. but i really enjoyed the building process of this cute house! i really want to try this game out, but i would need custom pc cause i have so many games already. i doubt my laptop could really handle this game and i won't have the space for it tbh. but one day! loved this video keep up the good work!

[@Ronkoi]

I loved it all, the fact that you were all the time playing the game and not just teaching how to build it the whole time was fantastic 10/10✨ and of course your build is amazing

[@Chiselchip]

Cheers from Brazil man! Great video and series

[@Alleykat49]

Wow! Turned out nice! I really think this would also make a really nice starter house if one was so inclined! Really like how the windows and door turned out!

This was so entertaining to watch! You narrate and explain things in such a calm, clear and understandable manner. Big kudos for that! I am very chaotic with explanations myself hahaha. At least I feel like I am. 😄 The build turned out super cozy and inviting! Trying the roof as the railing and framing around windows is such a clever idea! And I like the attention to colors. Well done! 👏☺Glad I found out about Your channel! :3

Looks awesome. It's a new game, and you look like you've been playing for years, lol. The opposite end of the fireplace outside you could do a roof hanging off, try to make it look like that's where he chops and stores the wood.

[@kepalakardus2278]

I hope they update with a lot of decoration like plant pot, food decoration or anything, and this will be be amazing animal crossing medieval theme, oh and add some random npc too hahahaha....and devoloper can add river or lake in this game map, we can fishing and other cozy activity hahahah

this is awesome! i had no idea you could remove the ground with the blueprints. my first "basement" i spent hours mining into the ground lol. love these videos cuz i enjoy base building but i struggle with being more creative with my types of homes.

Thanks! You can do it even faster by just placing and destroying the foundation blueprints rather then the small block one I used. Glad you liked the video :)
