Building a house in middle of the Sea - Good or bad idea? - Valheim

[@Omba6666]

My main issue with building in the ocean, is that the waves becomes massive during thunderstorms, or high winds, which makes you float all over the place inside the house. To explain there is a Cap on how much u can raise the ground, with how tall waves become during storms, even with the house fully raised u will still get hit, this is unless of course you raise it with stone foundation, this will however limit how tall you will be able to build the entire thing.

[@relejacion7777]

Yeah.. even you can see in the showcase in last part of video that a wave suddenly appears xD (min 22:32)

[@janus1958]

This is why, as I noted in my other comment, why I raised the ground first with my island build.

[@relejacion7777]

@@janus1958 Yeah... It was a misscalculation from my part before starting to build.. :(

[@Sandals578]

Just sounds like poor planning and construction.

[@sneezyfido]

With raids on, it's the perfect natural defense. Playing noportal on a map with lots of sea travel, it's a great home port or transfer point. Having a build in the middle can also work as a navigation beacon. And it's nice to have the view and a bunch of builds that just feel differently.

[@joet7136]

I've toyed with the idea of making a live-in light house.

[@Corle0ne]

I always build like that, just on a slightly bigger and higher island. In every seed I've built this means it has to be black forest to get it high enough to avoid the waves coming in over the 1st floor. If you build on a large enough island the waves will also break upon getting close to it, which is always nice during storms and such :) You can also get away with using way less materials than you spent

[@Nigelhibino]

What I did to prevent big waves was I elevated the ground immensely and now I have 2 sea bases! One is much bigger where it’s full of smelters and portals keeping that stuff safe as well from raids!

[@Nigelhibino]

No waves ever hit the floor cause with no build cost or even a high supply of stone can make the ground base more what you want

[@MMadjansen]

Fantastic! I've been tempted to do the same after being raided over and over... :D

[@relejacion7777]

Yeah... is in fact the only great advantage.. xD

[@Heetmaot]

I recently started a castle on the peak of a mountain. Works great aswell. only dragons can reach it

[@jkar4727]

I usually look for a plains island, but big enough to accomodate a field as well. Just make sure to have workbanches/torches cover the whole island : )

[@janus1958]

I just built an "island base" which I am putting the finishing touches on. I started by using the hoe to raise the ground until is was well above "storm surge" height.

[@relejacion7777]

nice nice! 😉 I really committed that mistake in this specific building: not using the hoe at the beginning.

[@TablesAreTurned]

I love building small island bases, indefinite protection from raids except flyers

[@CorianAerdeth81]

The raid defense is definitely good, but I'm curious why you didn't raise the land up a little to help with the waves. Are the waves just that intense that it wouldn't help, or is it a materials issue?

[@relejacion7777]

A little of both xD, Some times tides are very intense, so it doeesnt matter how high you can build, and the stone have a limit of height to contruct over it. Maybe you can use full wood structure to reach higher, but the watter will degradate the life of the wood a lot.

[@CorianAerdeth81]

@@relejacion7777 Ooo, I hadn't even thought about the water damage. That's a rough choice.

[@bl8388]

@@relejacion7777 You can raise the land with stone. Just 2 more meters would have been enough. Still a cool idea, and nice looking interior.

[@StrGrpp4]

i built a glowing mushroom base in the middle of the ocean. was pretty cool base. current base is a sky base 1 mile up.

[@chrono2959]

I probably would have raised the ground as high as I could have all the way around

[@oldwest9680]

Nice idea😁

i did this for my plans biome farm just hoe up a big square first to get above the waves and portal out

Hey man, how did u put the new food on the table?

[@relejacion7777]

With the new Bog witch trades. You have to buy her the "Serving try". Then you can put any food on your tables, no need any other support on it.

Song?

[@relejacion7777]

The Songs used are in the description of the video xD, YT includes them automatically. And they are from the KZbin Library in fact.

The moment I saw mods, disliked the video. Real Players play vanilla.

[@relejacion7777]

??? It is vanilla... but whatever bro, it's ok. And Real players are not so annoying, bullies or with "crystal taste".

It is in fact vanilla ashlands update.

@@relejacion7777 I downloaded about 25 mods for my duo playthrough and now adjusting CLLC and Epic loot with monster modifiers and infinite upgrades for a fun gameplay. Late-mountain progression (still no onion seeds bruh), farming the elder for essence and small upgrades. :)

[@bl8388]

There are good mod builds and good vanilla builds. Some vanilla builds are only with gathered resources, and others use unlimited resources and no mods. I find the greatest sense of satisfaction with builds that I resourced, but I get the modded builds, too.
