Enshrouded: Large Starter Base (Build Guide)

[@ZerosterBuilds]

Hey, I Put together this build for anyone wanting a larger starter base for the early game, this base shouldnt take long to construct despite its large size. I hope you all have fun with enshrouded, so far iv been enjoying my time with both the building and the adventuring.

[@AndysGaming982]

just so you no if u put a fireplace by your beds it will help with confort level and ur guy will not get cold during the night

[@ValtyrianFFXIV]

love your builds. but I like using roof blocks for railings. they have a smaller footprint and look nicer

[@ZerosterBuilds]

@@ValtyrianFFXIV I have to give that a try the next time I play, I never thought of seeing how roof blocks look as railings.

[@XanderBroeffle]

This is exactly what I needed to get comfortable with building. I struggled a bit with this last night and think I have what I need to build something neat. Thank you!

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I'm glad It helped :D

[@JLove]

Loved your easy to follow Valheim videos and especially the resource cost. So rad to see that you're creating new videos for Enshrouded. Thanks again and looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!

[@danielalmanza4114]

How dare you used the ambient sound of valheim for your intro...... I love it

[@nadaking]

This game is truly amazing. I'm loving the journey. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.

[@nortonis3565]

Oh thank you, you helped a man out here, normaly i can only build bunker houses lol. But now i managed to get my own cozy home. Thank you very much, you made my day my good man. Cheers from Norway

[@weezking]

great video , Enshrouded is the first craft survival game I delved into and am struggling with building . this video has been very helpful in learning how to use my building options together to come up with some cool stuff ' thanks very chill and easy to follow .

[@Extermideath]

Just wanted to say thank you for posting these. you helped me make a nice storage house in valhiem!. i can't build houses for crap in these games but your guides really help me!. thank you again!!!!

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I'm glad that they help out :D more builds for enshrouded are coming soon and given my boxes are starting to get full, it's very likely that one of those things will be a storage house soon

[@andreashallin8330]

Nice build. Inspired me to make a bigger house not just the little hut i have now. Feels awkward building due to all to many hours in Valheim but i will get there eventually. Thx for sharing and keep sharing pls :)

[@ZerosterBuilds]

Thank you, and It was awkward to get used to the building at first for me too, I still have some trouble with some aspects of the building system in enshrouded but it definitely gets more intuitive.

[@DeadManSailing0]

Mah man is back!! Used a lot of your builds for Valhiem. Can’t wait to see what you come up with for this game. Cheers!

[@ZerosterBuilds]

The first couple of builds will most likely be starter stuff to help newer players, but i'm looking forward to using some of the higher tier materials :D

Du steckst halt imme so viel Liebe rein, egal ob es in Grounded war oder hier im Game.

[@diamondjoe4697]

Solid guide. I started following you for Valheim builds early on. Its your attention to detail that gets me. Its more then just foundations, ceiling, 4 walls and a door. Your builds are both aesthetic and functional. I built this base on my solo server. The build went smooth except for when it was time to place storage boxes. For some reason, I can only place 6 storage boxes at those wall indents by the stairs yet in your video I can see you have 9 stacked... Nevertheless, thank you for this.

[@ZerosterBuilds]

Thank you :D I'm glad you enjoy the builds, for that part under the stairs, the gap between the stone pillars needs to be 6, each box takes up 2 x 2 x 2 cubes or bricks of space. I would try moving the pillars closest to the side walls out a few more bricks because you will most likely still be able to get under the stairs easy enough with a little less space on either side.

[@diamondjoe4697]

It was actually the top row that I was having trouble placing, but I actually just figured it out. Thanks again!@@ZerosterBuilds

How did you manage to figure it out? I'm also struggling with placing the top 3@@diamondjoe4697

[@Tiv.a]

Great guide! Shows a lot of what is possible with this building system. I will be picking up this game for sure! Question- does this game have a creative mode?

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I don't think it does, but after a few hours of playing, you have so many resources that building large structures is very possible I only played for a few hours and had 10,000 of every starting building block to play around with.

[@toshikotanaka3249]

Great build!! I made this house and it came together beautifully. I was watching other build videos and all the people who were building said roofs are a pain but I had no problem with yours. I like how you used snapping, which made building the roof easy. I love how you made the area for the storage boxes too!. Thanks for showing me how to make a lovely home!

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I will say people are right about roofs being a pain, but I spent some time trying to find a good way to give clear instructions for it which I'm very glad it was helpful, enjoy your new base!

[@mcendik]

i did it buddy and it looks amazing thank you so much for your efforts.

[@arti7594]

wow, very impressive and a good example on how you can use the detailled building system :) Thank you for the inspiration!

[@felipebanchieri6034]

thank you, this gave me so much inspiration, hope you keep doin this kind of videos.

[@jean-philippemoreau4601]

That looks awesome mate !! Will definatly check out your future builds

[@CPcamaro]

Great looking building with only starting area materials.

[@Bzk--]

Not sure if it's because im using a different material but for me, the roof top doesn't fill the gaps like it does in the video at 12:20. Guess I'll fill the gaps manually with more Roof Side panels and it should work out the same. Edit: Not sure what's going on but there's something off. Sometimes measurements dont seem to match yours but i double checked every step. Dunno, maybe I just made the whole house 1 block shorter somehow, otherwise I have no idea. Anyway with some manual adjustment everything still works out in the end.

[@yavantii3615]

no have the same issue, the whole house ended up being 1 tile short in width. Then it hit me, when I first placed the walls I put the frontside of the house on the edge of the 1nd floor tile, but in the video he put them at the edge of the 2nd floor tile. It is barely noticable, but it's a whole tile off. To compare check how many fence blocks you put at 6:40. He puts 7 in the video. I figured that I only placed 6.

[@GLDFNGR]

This is awesome, well done and thanks for the inspiration. This game looks amazing

[@Marie-r5w9h]

Love this building. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@AZodiacCancer]

I like how you have steps in chapters and broken up with text for people like me who just make boxes. Thanks and nice build.

[@farty90]

[@kylealan4915]

Sick house could be end game for all I knew haha

[@ZerosterBuilds]

truth be told I still use this base at end game, It had enough room for everything. its a bit cramped in some places, but It had just enough room.

[@grtormand3]

Did a beautiful job with just the base materials! Have any updated/mid-late game builds to showcase?

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I did at least 1 late game base while I was playing enshrouded. i put a playlist link in my descriptions for most videos, but I think this was the first video I made on enshrouded. so not sure If I put a playlist link

[@neyfi1337]

Valheim music so good 🤤

[@yavantii3615]

5:35, am I the only one annoyed by this? The single stone blocks in the to corner don't snap into a curved shape, like they did on all the other wall sides. I had this same thing happening to me and I was wondering if I did something wrong, rebuild the entire side of the house, still no diagonal. Then I continue watching and the same thing happens to you. Is it a bug?

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I'm not entirely sure, it annoys me as well but Iv learned to sort of blank it out, no build can be perfect after all, just close enough to what you want it to be so that your happy.

[@junfanvts]

Hope more beginner build guide. I am new fans from Taiwan

[@B.E.89]

that integrated storebox system in the staircase is a really cool idea. are the top ones easy to reach?

[@sailorjordo8136]

THANK YOU, I WAS STRUGGLING SO FUCKING HARD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO REMOVE BLOCKS TO DO CUSTOM WINDOWS!!!!!!!!

[@ZerosterBuilds]

Yeah It confused me as well for a little while, but the 1x1 build tool and then just right click instead of left click to remove cubes. the window frames are 2x3 which is pretty useful to know when planning out how it will look.

[@IkatteiruPanda]

Ah.... I struggled with voxel- building last night (this is my first game like that) so I'm really happy of drawing some inspiration from you. Thanks for the video Zeroster! I woul like to know your opinion on this game and building system, I really miss the structural limitations and smoke simulation from Valheim for example, what do you think?

[@IkatteiruPanda]

Oh and very nice background music too!

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I miss some of the limitations of valheim because they really helped me think of how things should look before even putting a block down. But now I can make porches without a roof over them, and balconies, and a bunch of stuff that couldn't be done in valheim without using stone or having to deal with wood decay. The voxel system was a bit daunting at first, but after a while, the blueprints using snapping became the foundation I use to build ontop of so that's similar enough to valheim for me, then the free placement became the detailing stage, Overall still getting used to the building, but I think they both have incredible building systems.

[@nogamenolife705]

Where did you build this? Brand new to the game and only a few minutes in. Thanks.

[@ZerosterBuilds]

The very first place the game tells you to put a base, I put the fire down towards the east of there just because the land is a little nicer than right ontop of the glowing marker.

[@veladarney]

How do you stack three chests on each other? I can only get them as high as two ...

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I placed a block then jumped ontop of it to place the highest ones.

[@veladarney]

@@ZerosterBuilds Ah, cool! Thanks for the info!

[@OguzErtan]

Loved.

[@Redwake_]

I'm not sure why but i cannot get the 4mm roof top to part to work, its just kind of snaps to the left some or to the right but it will not sit even on the 2m roof tiles and i have snapping turned off.

[@MapleGoodness]

Try positioning the cap one spot higher, see if it centers. When I did it, when the cap was centered it looked to be floating one block too high with gaps beneath it... But it was centered... And when actually placed the gaps got automatically filled in both sides.

[@JuzRaza]

FOR ANYONE WHO CLICKED ON THIS VIDEO!: DON'T CLICK PLAY, THERE IS >ABSOLUTELY< NO WAY TO BUILD THIS ROOF!! JUST CARRY ON WITH YOUR LIFE!

[@ZerosterBuilds]

Hey, if your having trouble with any part, gimme a heads up which part and I can attempt to help out. the roof is tricky on this build, make sure you have turned off snapping if your having issues with the block snapping to odd places.

[@madisonshaw894]

Awesome!

[@phatmhat9174]

Question: Do NPCs attack your base, or is it just a place for you to do stuff?

[@ZerosterBuilds]

I have been playing for about 20ish hours now and from everything I have seen no, I haven't had a raid at any time, and I've only been attacked outside of my base when a wolf wanders in. so If I had to guess the base is just a safe place to craft and store stuff Hope this helped

[@phatmhat9174]

@@ZerosterBuilds yes this helps. thanks! and rats, i was hoping bases had more a purpose. not in to building bases just to have a place to craft.

[@ZerosterBuilds]

@@phatmhat9174 you can teleport between all the bases you have made which is a good reason to setup more, there is farming a little later on, those are the main things iv found the bases are useful for. but it would be cool to have some sort of base attack like in grounded or 7 days to die.

[@phatmhat9174]

@@ZerosterBuilds farming is a step in the direction of more than just a place. thanks for the info. think i'll give it a try.

[@vampwriter]

I'm mad at myself right now... I followed the vid to the letter, watched for the changes to the snapping, everything looks good... then I go to cap the roof and I'm one block off... somehow. I've never had so much trouble with one of your builds before. It's infuriating. I usually pride myself on accuracy.

[@ZerosterBuilds]

It's most likely the front wall, when I built this the first time outside of recording I did exactly the same thing. it would be possible to fix somewhat quickly, but it would mean taking down the front wall or extending the back wall by 1 brick,

[@AZodiacCancer]

I had the same issue too. I had to gerry rig it and the house is pretty close but theres some spots that are misaligned. Would have been nice to know beforehand.

[@ZerosterBuilds]

@@AZodiacCancer I will most likely try and use different materials for different sections of floor so its much easier to see if things are lined up right in future, something like wood for the main house then stone floors for the porch ect, and add text as well, thanks for the feedback I appreciate it :D

[@JJvonEmiya]

The roof is fk anoying had to improvise with little roof tiles to make them connect, but when i try to put the walls in upstairs it clips trough the roof and cant fix it. Really anoying

[@ZerosterBuilds]

The easiest way I have found to fix the clipping is to add a second layer of roof ontop of the roof.

[@JJvonEmiya]

@@ZerosterBuilds fixed it by placing the walls a little of the roofs and filled the holls with single roof blocks from plant fiber barely now the difference now.

[@WeiderMystic]

oh thats what those inverse triangles are for

[@ZerosterBuilds]

yeah, I am glad they are in the game but I found very limited uses for them other than around stairs.

[@derpydino1915]

looks good just wish there was more survival games with building like the forest and sons of the forest where you can place stuff and it shows you placing it rather than spawning it out of thin air. don't need the animations from sons tho.
