How to Build an Organised Workshop + Storage | Valheim

[@phinqs]

What should I build next?

[@2evzy]

like the Ultimate Longhouse with using asland materials

[@klittt]

Fortress, thx

[@Araghos]

Would be great with an asymmetrical build that is more organic. I feel like I often end up with symmetric structures because it's so pleasing in proportions, while I really struggle with more organic builds.

[@phinqs]

@@2evzy Thank you for the suggestion! I think I will probably revisit the Ultimate Longhouse at some point.

[@phinqs]

@@klittt You are really not holding back! I would probably create a fortress showcase video but I am not sure how practical a build guide would be for a bigger structure.

[@90jaegerbomb]

I came back to valheim after 2 years break and my favorite part has always been doing the builds from video guides. I'm deaf but thanks to you be able to speak clearly and easy to understand with closed captioning. I've already built an outpost like yours but I added an underground storage room on the right right under stone floor. Added an outlook tower on top of the wall and made a sick entrance to the outpost. I could send you screen shots of what I've added and modified. Still some work to go but I look forward to hear back from you! And yes, it was pun intended to say "hear". 😂 P.S I love your building styles. Exactly what I've been looking for. Keep up the good work.

[@phinqs]

Thank you so much! I have had many comments saying that I talk too fast so I am trying to work on slowing down a bit. I am glad the auto-captions are doing a good job so you find it easy to enjoy my videos! I would love to see screenshots of your modifications. I have a Discord server with 500+ members where you can share your builds. There is an invite link in the video description and on my channel page.

@@phinqs Not often a Scottish person gets that compliment! Great build by the way.

[@phinqs]

@@jonathangrant1597 No, definitely not! Thank you. I am quite happy with how it turned out.

[@Matchoochannel]

You don't type like a deaf person.

[@zeallgaming]

Never know a workshop can looks and feels so comfy, liked the touch of the grausten arch to the entrances where you based the design with wood pieces, and all the well-thought placement of the station upgrade pieces!

[@phinqs]

I am really happy with how it turned out. I made a few improvements on the original design that I showed in the grausten dock video and I think they made a huge difference. Thanks for your comment!

[@zeallgaming]

@@phinqs Can't wait to see more building videos from you :D

[@phinqs]

@@zeallgaming I appreciate that. I will be sure to keep uploading more videos. Just make sure you are subscribed so that you do not miss any. Thank you for your support!

[@sleepy1693]

I love that you still make Valheim content! I was late to the Valheim party but I’m glad that there’s still a community!

[@phinqs]

There is no game quite like it. Also, I am feeling very uninspired by the current gaming market, haha! It is best to stick with Valheim. On a side note, I have a Discord server with a really friendly community of Valheim players, which you are very welcome to join. If you are interested, there is an invite link in the video description and on my channel page! Thanks for your comment.

[@meonocra]

It's beautiful and fantastic -- not enough storage (especially compared to your black marble workshop from Mistlands - which I built alongside your full rest house, and a basement underneath, it's amazing). Would love to see what you would do to "update" that build with Ashlands parts

[@phinqs]

There is not as much storage here as there could be but I am certain there are many ways to add more in. I will likely revisit a few of my older builds and update them to suit the new building components but it may take some time. Thanks for your support!

[@1daySomeday]

this was stupendous! all that is now needed to complete it all are battle ships that are even larger than the newest release that yes is gorgeous but still would be great to have a battle ship that has combat weapons installed like cannon balls or something to that effect in hopes the devs give us combative foes in pirating ships on our way to the deep north!

[@phinqs]

Thank you! It sounds like you are describing Sea of Thieves!

[@xolf9977]

Great build love the vid!! Keep giving the Valheim community amazing blueprints like these!! 👷‍♂

[@phinqs]

Thanks a lot! I will try my best to keep them coming. As long as they are being received positively, I will keep creating Valheim content!

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

Very nice, I will try this one out. Good to see place for signs on chests, I have that much stuff to sort out I never remember where everything is. Your build videos are some of the best in terms of being an easy guide to follow, Some out there keep changing half way through and it gets too complicated to replicate. Only suggestion I can think of to make your videos even better is at the start show a little screenshot or add in description a list of all the materials needed for the build, I know that would be a pain to do, It's just an idea though. The snapping doesn't work on a few of the things you show as well, Iron torches with core wood, Says invalid every time I get it in the spot it should be.

[@phinqs]

I am exactly the same when it comes to organising my loot. I have had many people ask me about the resource lists. I am currently looking into some ways I can easily obtain that information but I have not completely worked it out yet! The snapping should work but you have to be careful with what you are snapping to. If it is not working at the spot you think it should, try adjusting the cursor slightly to an adjacent snapping point. Thank you for your comment!

[@discogeek9413]

Cool beans Phinqsies! Keep 'em coming, something new and great for me to try!

[@phinqs]

I am really happy with how this one turned out. I am still learning new techniques even at this stage. Thanks a lot for your support!

[@Cloakdasasin0]

Beautiful and functional too!

[@phinqs]

Thank you. I’m really glad you like it!

[@MikeSalopek]

Would be awesome to see these builds up on valheimians!!

[@phinqs]

Is Valheimians solely a platform for forums? I have heard of it before but I have never used it.

[@Inkinred]

Man …. ALL OF US LOVE YOUR CONTENT!!!!!!

[@phinqs]

Thank you so much! I am really enjoying making videos at the moment. There is definitely many more videos still to come!

[@mrsardis]

Hey, Phinqs! Love your building style

[@phinqs]

Thank you! I am glad you like it.

[@andreashallin8330]

Really a nice build. Learned a few tricks 😊

[@phinqs]

Thank you! I’m glad you found the video useful. I still have plenty more tricks to share, haha!

[@robincalhoun8711]

Your builds are so nice looking and functional 🎉 . Your tutorials are so very well done, easy to understand and follow. Thank you for the great work.

[@phinqs]

I really like to find the balance between aesthetics and function so I am glad that others feel the same way about my builds! My videos weren’t always easy to follow but I have listened to my feedback over the years. Thank you for watching!

[@robincalhoun8711]

I gotta ask... do you have like a village with all these builds? I swear my next build project is gonna be all the ones you've made. It'll be pretty and practical woohoo 🎉

[@phinqs]

@@robincalhoun8711 I did. However, as the quantity of structures in the village started to increase, I noticed that I was starting to experience frame drops. Subsequently, I keep each of my builds on separate world files these days. If you do create a village with my builds, I would really like to see it. You can share screenshots in my Discord server, if you like. There is an invite link in the video description and on my channel page.

[@robincalhoun8711]

Once I do build it and figure out how to take a screen shot I will be happy to share it with uou. I've been playing around with builds, and after each one I do a new seed for fear of the fps lol

[@phinqs]

@@robincalhoun8711 I will look forward to seeing your screenshots then! I always create a new world for each of my builds too. Ideally, I would have all my builds in a single world but I have tried that in the past and I always run into performance issues!

[@arthanor9631]

Finally got around to watching this. I don't know how, but it feels like my upgrades take way more space than yours 😮 looks really neat! My only critic would be to try to work in more skylines in the roof. Natural light in Valheim is beautiful!

[@phinqs]

The upgrades can feel strange sometimes. I have found that verticality can help immensely with placing workstation improvements. I love the idea of adding skylights to my structures. However, with this structure, I thought that it would feel too open given all of the workshop areas having large windows. Thank you for your comment!

[@arthanor9631]

@@phinqs It is indeed pretty open already. I think using some of the inverted corners, you can make some "lucarnes" (is that a word?) that help break up the roof without opening up too much. I'll have to try the verticality. And upgrade shelf might look good. I did that in Nightingale and my workshop looked really neat.

[@phinqs]

@@arthanor9631 I agree. I think that the roof could do with a little more detail. I do still like the simplicity though. How are you enjoying Nightingale?

[@arthanor9631]

@phinqs I really like the inverted corners peaky windows. Two next to each other make a neat small opening, add a peaked roof in between and you get more of a window. As for Nightingale, I liked it a lot on released and clocked in 100 hours, crafted my "best in slot" equipment (loved 100% fire resist making you actually fireproof). They have changed a lot since and I haven't tried. I enjoyed the really open path to endgame, like Valheim, and I'm not sure a "streamline" experience would be better for me. Any ways, I'm waiting until they stop changing the early game for another playthrough. I had a neat house full of resources and personality with a lower floor cooking/crafting area, upstairs magic/reading/sleeping areas, built on a cliff for a nice sunset view and I haven't felt like starting from scratch again. And.. how did you know I played Nightingale?!

[@phinqs]

@@arthanor9631 I like the idea of that too! I need to get practise with that style more. Thank you for your breakdown of Nightingale. I will probably wait until full release until I try it again. Also, I knew that you played it because you mentioned it in a previous comment, haha!

[@jammmmess]

roofing is so cool ngl

[@WarZ33]

[@phinqs]

[@NatsumeRyu]

This is lovely, thank you

[@phinqs]

Thank you! I’m really glad you like it.

[@Hunter_Hill]

It looks very good. It would be cool if you could add a list of materials used and how much, for those how want to try and build this in survival.

[@phinqs]

Thank you! I agree. I need to find an easy way to do this. It would be a lot of work to count this manually but maybe it could be made easier with the use of a mod. I need to investigate!

[@Hakkar]

@@phinqs There is a mod called PlanBuild where you can place down a totem that tells you how much the item cost is. Plus you can save buildings :)

[@phinqs]

@@Hakkar Thank you! You are a legend! I will definitely put this to good use in future videos.

Nonono.. the spinning wheel is TOO LOUD to be placed in the center there! xD might fit the build but hell that thing is getting exiled from the house.

You can place it out in the garden, haha! Honestly, I do not mind the sound of the spinning wheel. It is the sound of the oven doors opening and closing that annoys me!

Great build😍, btw I haven’t reach ashland. Does the load strength of normal wood and the ashwood different? 🤧

Nice build I bury most of the upgrades some I keep on show

[@phinqs]

Thank you! I bury my upgrades occasionally but I think they can help to add some decoration to my builds as they can feel a bit too organised otherwise.

[@54nd5p1d3r]

@@phinqs Sure do the power of imagination it is a shame the radius of upgrades doesn't stretch that far

[@phinqs]

@@54nd5p1d3r I completely agree. Although, I do use workstation improvements solely as decorative pieces on occasion. I do understand why the developers have chosen to keep the range radius quite small though.

[@junimsouza9481]

I need a house wiru everything,with kitchen room etc

This structure combines with my Ultimate Boat Dock to produce a base that has everything you need, including a kitchen, and maximum comfort room. You can find the video on my channel!

[@kimgardiner3179]

Why don't you include cooking stations with your workshop?

[@phinqs]

Good question. Normally, I do include cooking stations in my workshop. However, for this build I actually built a separate structure for all my food and potions!
