My wife and I started a world specifically for ashlands and we used your longhouse build for our main home, given how well its been serving us I think we'll have to add this to our village!

[@phinqs]

Amazing! It is always cool to hear that people are using and enjoying my builds!

[@troubledfromdiscord]

The new Ashwood black trim around the storage looks so clean!

[@phinqs]

Agreed! It is almost strange to have a building component so perfect in this game.

[@Marcel-eg9bz]

Things I liked about this: Everything. Great build!

[@phinqs]

Haha, great! I am really glad you liked it and thank you for your comment!

[@discogeek9413]

Great stuff Phinqs. Glad to see 'em coming! Should be on the front page of KZbin.

[@phinqs]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate your continued support. The "top commenter" badge next to your name says it all!

[@ludwigkriek4424]

awesome video man, absolutely planning on building this, i really appreciate you showing us how you decorated the inside as well, al lot of builds just show the exterior and i dont have a creative mind at all, so i really appreciate all the effort you put into these vids, keep up the great work and super excited to see the next video !😁

[@phinqs]

I am glad you like it. I used to really struggle with the interior design until I found my own style. It helps having plenty of practise too! Thanks for your comment.

[@Fade_Bloodlace]

I found your channel via the Shorts of your little storage house. That was a brilliant way to advertise your channel. Easy sub from me - 1) for your build brain, 2) for your excellent tutorial /editing style, and 3) for your accent.

[@phinqs]

Thank you very much! I will try not to disappoint!

[@tonyarteaga5834]

I was waiting for your video with the new Ashland update! Awesome as always.

[@phinqs]

I really appreciate your support! I actually had something similar prepared before the Ashlands update was released into the public test branch. So, I had to make some adjustments to accommodate the new building components and upgrades!

[@spwicks1980]

Fantastic build and great tutorial! Even my potato building skills managed to copy your design, though the gralston beams were a bit problematic at times! Looking forward to checking out your other builds and having a go :)

[@phinqs]

Thank you! It means a lot. It is always good to hear that people are enjoying my hard work.

[@robincalhoun8711]

Beautiful, clean and practical. Thank you for the great work

[@phinqs]

Thanks for your comment. I was really happy with how this turned out so I am glad that others are enjoying it!

[@riteasrain]

Beautiful build! Got a few ideas and tips in the meantime, thanks :)

[@phinqs]

Perfect! I am happy to hear it. Thank you for your comment!

[@Temulon]

Nice build Phinqs, but there isn't a place for grilling meat. I built this and I'm using it. It's not too big, not too small, doesn't use a ton of resources. I like the transitions between areas and the use of Grausten, Ashwood, Darkwood and starter mats plus TONS of storage. Love the Skelly in the center of the room. I'll make a covered cook station outside. Great job as always.

[@phinqs]

Can you not just place a few cooking stations between the cauldron and fermenters? I think I did this previously but I must have forgot to include it when building for this video. I am glad you like it. Thanks a lot for your support!

[@oneleaf525debnitya6]

Very nice build and now am thinking of making this build in one of the server am in once we get to ashlands. But a thing to be pointed out you forgot to add a bench(I will personally prefer stool which can be made for a more decorative piece with multiple of them in a row) which will max out the comfort at 17 and you had 16 comfort

[@phinqs]

I am really glad you like the build! The throne actually covers the same comfort type as the bench. The item I forgot in this build was a banner. The curtains do not contribute towards the banner comfort point. I completely forgot about this during the build guide.

[@AreWeAllMad]

Love your builds! Keep them coming 🙂

[@phinqs]

Thanks a lot! I really appreciate the support.

[@jaccandy]

Looks wonderful.

[@phinqs]

I am really glad you like it. I had to make some last minute alterations to include the Ashlands items!

[@darkshamrock5763]

Amazing build.

[@phinqs]

Thank you! I am glad you like it.

[@Mr.Dadochan]

I really liked your construction friend, I replicated it and I put things of my style and it was great, thanks for your tutorials easy to understand.

[@phinqs]

Thank you. I am really glad you like it. It would be cool to see your changes. You can share screenshots in my Discord server, if you feel like joining!

[@ShaneMcGrath.]

Very good, Only thing I would need is all the chests need signs, I am a hoarder in game. ;)

[@phinqs]

Signposts would be a great addition. You can easily add them to the beams that run above/below the chests!

[@rymphz9543]

This is very good! But I really need a basement)

[@phinqs]

I am glad you like it. If I was going to build a basement, I would move the black forge to the centre of the room and remove the asksvin skeleton, and place stairs under the existing stairs which takes you to the basement.

[@Bubu-Yogi]

Could you make a new and improved farm build. like for lox, wolves, etc with gardens or something i seen your last build but it wasnt big enough for lox

[@phinqs]

Thank you for the recommendation. I will add it to my ever growing list of requests. Hopefully, I can get around to it soon!

[@capatheist]

Small fenced area on the side with a similarly compacted smelter/coal burner area would finish this off nicely.

[@phinqs]

Definitely! I thought about adding more detail to the exterior but I could already tell this video would be a long one!

[@hink3042]

I found your dock video and (not knowing its size) thought I would upscale it for the new ashlands ship. jesus christ that thing need the whole width of it JUST for the gap to hold the ship I need someone to make something on how to house that whale

[@phinqs]

Yes, it is huge! I am currently working on a new build that better fits the Drakkar. It should be uploaded soon!

[@daved1302]

Very nice

[@phinqs]

I am glad you like it!

[@Tikku4ever]

And I just finished building your outpost base too. 🤣

[@phinqs]

Sorry about that, haha! The dogs bark but the caravan keeps moving.

[@Jaredvotesforpedro]

I love your videos & builds. I've used a few already and plan on replicating this one as well, but just wanted to ask about the comfort. I think you're missing something for max comfort. You are only reaching 16 comfort but the max is 17 (19 with seasonal items.) I'm not sure what's missing though and wanted to ask if you know what it is?

[@phinqs]

I am really glad you liked the build. Regarding the comfort level, I used the jute curtains rather than banners whilst recreating the build for this guide. To achieve the missing comfort level, make sure you are using a banner instead! Thank you for your comment and pointing out my mistake! Hopefully, this comment will help others wondering the same thing.

[@Jaredvotesforpedro]

@@phinqs Thanks for replying man! Once again, your build videos are top tier. 😊

[@phinqs]

@@Jaredvotesforpedro Thank you. I appreciate it!

[@KueferYT]

Can i ask? Where did you get build piece for that skeleton askvin

[@phinqs]

Good question. You can find asksvin skeletons around the ashlands biome which give different parts of the skeleton as loot when destroyed. There are four pieces in total which are required to build the skeleton: skull, neck, ribcage, and pelvis. I hope this helps!

[@KueferYT]

@@phinqs thanks a lot for info. I really like your. have a good day more content for house build

[@phinqs]

@@KueferYT No problem! Thank you for your support.

[@shudere]

How to make that askvin bone decoration?

[@phinqs]

You will unlock the recipe by destroying asksvin skeletons in the Ashlands! You need to collect four individual pieces to craft it (along with bone fragments): neck, pelvis, rib cage, and skull!

[@Kymss-j9z]

Can you fit 3 beds upstairs if you eliminate the unneeded item..can't think of name..cosmetic changes station lol ?

[@phinqs]

You could definitely fit in two more single beds. You only need a dragon bed in the area for the comfort bonus so as long as you do not mind how it looks then it should be fine!

[@Kymss-j9z]

@@phinqs oh yes that is right...about only needing singles.. awesome ty

[@phinqs]

@@Kymss-j9z The master of the house and their servants, haha!

[@kaigenbessette3540]

Amazing build.Does anyone here know when the ashland update comes out for xbox

[@phinqs]

It has not been announced yet but if I had to take a guess I would say two weeks maximum. This is just my own personal estimate though!

[@prestoncollner]

does the refinery not damge everything around it?

[@phinqs]

Usually, yes. However, the way I have configured the cage stops any of the area damage from affecting the nearby structure.

[@prestoncollner]

@@phinqs cage still receives damage though correct?

[@phinqs]

@@prestoncollner Nope. The Dvergr metal wall, cage wall, cage floor, and black marble components are all immune to elemental damage!

[@purpleguy3924]

do u know how much materials this would cost? also would it be easy to make with stone instead of ashlands stuff?

[@phinqs]

Good question. I don’t know exactly how much materials it would cost. However, I do know that it is pretty easy to make with stone as I actually built it with stone first and then changed it to grausten!

[@purpleguy3924]

@@phinqs thank u for the fast reply, ill try to record how many materials it takes and lyk for future questions!

[@phinqs]

@@purpleguy3924 I would really appreciate that. I always forget to do it!

[@purpleguy3924]

@@phinqs quick question, if i was doing stone should i just replace all the grausten structures with stone? or should i mix with wood at some parts? this is the first time ive really built smth in this game so im not very familiar with the building system or how things look together. also, is there no stone 1x1? should i just use 1x1 walls where u use the grausten 1x1s? same issue with the pillars, appears theres only 2 high pillars and no tapered pillars so how would u go about that? i am also struggling with the arches now, the stone arches look really weird, what did u use?

[@phinqs]

@@purpleguy3924 I think as long as the internal footprint stays the same, you can just build stone around the outside. The roof size will probably change slightly but that is ok. For internal pillars, I would stack the stone wall 1x1 rather than use the actual pillars. You can probably run a wooden beam along the top of the internal columns if you don't like how the stone arches look - either option will be enough to support the roof. You should join my Discord server, it is easier to catch me there.

[@mazunhoof]

Why no black metal chest?

[@phinqs]

Good question. It is just a personal preference. I like how the reinforced chests look. They store slightly less than black metal chests but I do not mind. You can substitute the reinforced chests for black metal chests, if you like!

[@lynchh270]

i cant seem to get the shingling on the roof proper its annoying me

[@phinqs]

I would recommend joining my Discord server. You can share screenshots and I can try to help resolve the issue. Without seeing what section you are referring to, I would recommend double checking, or modifying, the grausten beam components around the top of the grausten walls. The beam snapping points can easy make or break a build. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your comment!

[@BassDat33]

i dont like it, storage is too small, everything is too cramped and the roof doesnt fit

[@capatheist]

Lmao... So stop watching and or make a better one... Why the hell would you take the time to comment this lol

[@BassDat33]

@@capatheist i like his videos, i just dont like this build, i know for a fact he can make a better one. Pointing out some things about the build doesnt mean i dont like his content as a whole. If you support the content creator isnt better to promote instead of saying "stop watching"? Watching these type of videos is actually to learn to build a better one, I mean, i can try at least...

[@phinqs]

Fair enough. It is a little different from my other builds but it all comes down to your own perspective. In my larger builds, some people say it is too big or takes too many resources. I am just trying to create a variety of builds that people can pick and choose from!

[@phinqs]

It is all good. I do welcome constructive criticism. However, I am generally pretty happy with how this build turns out. I appreciate the interaction and support!

[@BassDat33]

@@phinqs Thanks Phinqs i love your content, inspires me so much for my builds. Im sorry it came out so blunt, the points was the roof doesnt fit the aethetics, and the storage too small for the amount of items in the game, specially if you are into the ashlands biome. The cramped space is vital from my point of view, i can move with a cart inside my house, ofc its my preference and maybe im the only one who finds confortable carry wood, stone or metal with the cart inside the house hahhaha.. anyways thank you for varierty, some percentage of your builds are a showcase of your talent ofc that take a lot of materials ahhaha. Keep up the good work!

[@Mercyswaifu]

Very nice build ~ by any chance do you have any plans for an updated dock to fit the new boat ? Would love to see that

[@phinqs]

Yes, I have plans to upload a new dock build that I have been working on. However, I have just uploaded a video about dock building that you might find useful in the meantime!
