I Built a Small Home for EVERY Valheim Biome (7 Beautiful Designs)

[@Victor-dm4qv]

"Some may be good. Some may not be so good." They were all excellent.

[@smittysurvival]

Haha thank you! Glad you liked them all :) Always gotta leave room for individual subjectivity!

[@ynnosredd3190]

my cousin is an architect and I introduced him to Valheim few months ago and he's really into it. he even built bases with tunnels connecting from one biome to another. he found a spot where biomes are connected in short distances. he designs awesome houses too. he says if he's gonna have a chance to build a house with medieval aesthetics in real life then he would do it.

[@boneman9665]

These videos are always a joy to see! Valheim has been my favorite game to build things in for a while now, and these timelapses never fail to inspire!

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Yes Valheim is such a good game for building. Keeps bringing me back! Glad I could provide some inspiration! :)

[@jamesbartlett4477]

Not gonna lie... this is a really comfy video. It's one of these videos where you can just chill out and watch It and be comfy. Ty and great job on the house. I will be saving this video so i can start up my new valheim world once the game is out of early access. Can't wait to build all the new stuff.

[@harryevans4994]

u gonna be waiting a while mate

[@Ruhrich92]

As someone who never pays for dlc, never pre-orders, and never buys microtransactions; I gotta say Valheim is worth buying. A friend bought it for me to play on his server and its easily one of my favorite games. The devs clearly love it, its not just some profit project to them. If you're waiting to buy it until they "officially" launch, you're doing yourself a disservice. Honest take.

[@tylersolheim7309]

This video is gold, and now I have to go start a new world...

[@smittysurvival]

Nothing like some build inspiration to get you into a new play though :)

[@zach5754]

I really liked the mini ashlands house. Something about a zen little home in the middle of chaos is cool (:

[@smittysurvival]

Haha yes! Little spot for meditation before venturing out into the wild lol

[@neekota]

Your comment reminded me of a phrase in Rothfuss' book, 'The Name of The Wind'. I'm paraphrasing from memory, but it's like this: "Similar to a shoe, a home should not necessarily be as large as possible; It should be just the right size. Something that fits you comfortably." That's how I felt when looking at the Ashlands home :) Have a wonderful day

[@lazyrebelproductions5821]

personally I'm always a sucker for swamp builds, and the stilted style is the same i find myself using 9 times outa 10. absolutely lovely

[@smittysurvival]

Yes! Glad I’m not the only one!

[@squishy3815]

This comment is a bit late but another style of building for the swamp is treehouses. The larger trees that can’t be damaged act like the ground, providing the maximum structure. I like to make multiple small buildings or houses that each have their own function, and connection them with walkways.

[@mimiepperson7116]

Your builds are beautiful as always, but man, your editing skills are top notch! Everything from the music, the smooth flow of the time lapse, the voice over, the story/theme, the font…perfect. I’ve said it before, but you are a true artist! Thanks for sharing your projects with us. 😊

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you so much for this comment! There’s truly so much work beyond just building that go into these. Everything you mention is absolutely intentional and part of my process of putting together a nice experience for you all, so really glad you notice and appreciate 😊

[@Porcrhind]

Quite liked the mistlands build. I hope they add more building materials, maybe go back and add a unique material for old zones like the plains or the swamp.

[@smittysurvival]

Oh that would be amazing if they did! Just some more variety with those pieces would be great!

[@damian_fam0226]

I'd like to see bite size tutorial vids of each build so those of us can recreate these for ourselves, great creations by the way, I love all of them

[@vanobe5853]

The mistlands base would give me perma anxiety with all the Gjall gurgles and seeker soldiers skittering sounds all around the house xD

[@RandomGuy010]

Just started the game. It's nice to see one can do a lot with what the game gives you. Finding the right spot and terraforming just enough is gonna take practice.

[@Hamastra112]

As always, your builds are are on supreme-grade quality. Absolutely love that swamp house. It's my favorite biome due to the Diablo II vibe. The plains house is very unique too. It looks like what you'll find irl. As a Southeast Asian, I give my stamp of approval. Though, I think it's preferable for you to just mention the ethnicity instead because there's literally hundreds of cultures in SEA; and nearly all of them has distinct architecture style. It would be helpful for finding the references and for those who are interested, I guarantee exploring our cultures' styles would be fun. There's WAY more to Asian architecture than Japanese and Chinese. Btw, would you consider making house designs for fire-hazard enabled world? I don't think I've seen any videos for it.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you so much! Totally fair on your comment about Southeast Asia overgeneralization. Specifically I spent time in China/Japan/Korea, but the vast breadth of countries with distinct cultures and influences probably rendered that as an insufficient descriptor. I myself am Japanese/Korean so I definitely can appreciate the differences amongst cultures in Asia 🙌🏻

[@Hamastra112]

@@smittysurvival You are? That's totally unexpected from your voice and how you speak. :o Yes, honestly the overgeneralization is a bit saddening (not referring to your video, but in general). Throughout the world, when people mention about Asian countries, it's always only refer to China/Japan/Korea, It's like the rest of us doesn't exist, despite probably having the most diverse cultures in the world. You're one of the best, if not the best builder I've seen for ANY game. And the way you present your content is top notch. I hope I will always get to see your videos for years to come. :D

[@zsoltsiro1310]

By Odin's Beard! the production quality and showing each and every step! i LOVE the mountain biome and i built a base (i started like 2 weeks ago so its NOTHING like these beauties) but you gave me the inspiration to redesign my base you're a viKING, Skäl!

[@aguynamednick]

Your builds are super impressive. I particularly love the way you incorporate all the little details to make them feel lived in.

[@Amexel]

Amazing work, they all look fantastic, I particularily enjoyed the custom swamp stakewall

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Great call out with that wall! A nice alternative design for sure!

[@austinattack]

god, these are all so incredible. i say it every time but you are inspiring!!! i don't even know which one was my favorite; they all have something unique that I love!

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you so much! Glad you liked them all!

[@bendelaughter]

It's amazing how unique they all were and how well they each fit the feel of their respective biome. Excellent work

[@LeafyTony]

I’m always amazed by people’s creativity. I love the builds. My favorite videos are the ones where the person is playing in survival. Dealing with gathering resources, fighting monsters and falling off your roof while building.

[@bjswope8797]

4:12 love the dulcimer music during the BF build!

[@smittysurvival]

Glad you appreciate it! I thought it fit rather nicely lol

[@lancebennington5327]

Really appreciate your Valheim videos Smitty. Ive incorporated many of your ideas into my projects. Love how all your builds tell a story.

[@LighthouseBurning]

These designs are spectacular. I'm getting back into Valheim for the 7164134th time. I haven't even finished this game yet but mostly because it's still early access. I also love the beginning stages of the game so much. I can't wait to try out your Black Forest house. I have been wanting a cellar and your design looks cool. I also just noticed that at one point I subscribed to your channel. Have a great day and thanks for the builds and your excellent quality video. Great production value you have here.

[@deccy_boi5569]

i am so excited to use this in my next world. i love the builds but i have a plan to make it more progression friendly. i'm going to go into creative on another character and destroy almost all furniture, lighting (replacing the light sources with an empty source), and destroy walls, delapitate others, to let me and my bros stumble across it as a gorgeous ruin that we can use as a base for the biome!! really nice builds again, and thanks for giving this stuff out for people to use ❤

[@paszczar3352]

It not only looks good, but is a very useful video. All of the houses(accept the plains and ashlands ones) are really good in terms of defense. They are constructed with the best materials, which recompense the lack of outer walls or moats. Very comfy and good looking

[@trengilly01]

Great builds as always! Small builds are the best. The Swamp is my favorite biome for building in. I like the creepy atmosphere . . . but its also super practical for coal farms and to easily gather and process all your iron.

[@smittysurvival]

Yes small builds are my favorite! Can put a lot of love into projects that size - quality over quantity always!

[@ICGull]

So much Inspiration, thx! The mistlands build is my favourite, really unique look for Valheim

[@smittysurvival]

So glad you liked it!

[@HadeyanUtkan]

That was inspiring and amazing, thx, it's a great content as always bro.

[@anatidaeical]

Incredible builds as always

[@chadnorris8257]

I've thought about doing something like this, but never got around to it. A hunting lodge in the Meadows with a farm, and a few board. A large log cabin in the Black Forest. A home on stilts with exaggerated roof in the Swamp, so I can stand outside without getting wet. A stone fort on top of a Mountain. A large estate in the wide open Plains. I haven't played in the Mistlands or Ashlands yet, but I imagine another stone structure in Mistlands so Gjalls can't burn it down, and a great castle in the Ashlands to repel a warband.

[@negkoray]

Choice of music is fkn immaculate.

[@TheFabulousRBK]

I love having different aesthetics for each biome, and these would be really cool to build if it weren't for worrying about enemies coming around and wrecking everything.

[@imfine3792]

I am from Kazakhstan, and that yurt looks cozy! 12:53

[@ulrichgamingandmusic]

fantastic video Smitty. I really love your sense and feeling of moods and storytelling. Always a highlight for me when watching Val content. The mist temple is my favourite.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you Ulrich! It’s all gotta feel cohesive and you always point that out! Appreciate the support!

[@jean-philippemoreau4601]

Those were all amazing. We're doing the same concept on our server next to each boss. Great inspiration

[@Qildor88]

Beautiful builds as always. My favorite one was.... I can't pick because they are all good in there one different ways. But if I had to pick to use, I would probably pick the one in the Meadows, but have a cellar. Nice seeing you in Valheim. Must say I miss your Valheim series / episodes / walkthrough /gameplay and builds.

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Glad you liked them! Meadows with a cellar would be a great combo!

This is fantastic dude. Was waiting for your next video. Doing some builds of myself and you continue to inspire :)

[@Leo-qy8jp]

That Mistlands Temple aethestic is so cool, i love the build.

[@thedovahk9398]

Always a treat when one of your videos comes out! Also, I really wanna start a new Valheim playthrough, but I just have so many other games I haven't played yet, it's quite a dilemma.

[@robincalhoun8711]

What amazing builds!! They are so unique and different in a fabulous way. It's truly hard to pick a favorite. That being said, I think the swamp build would be my top of the list. Thank you 🎉

[@ioooor]

Ooh, I really liked the black forest build! That biome is so nice, and it really lends itself for a cozy house in the middle of the forest. Sadly all the graydwarfs makes it very tedious to live there 😅

[@smittysurvival]

Thank you! Yes Black Forest is such a peaceful biome other than those pesky graydwarves lol

[@owenmadsen2454]

Man I just found your channel, this is unbelievable!! Thanks for the inspiration, especially the Black Forest cabin. Trying to find out how you sunk that basement!!

[@tommyhannegan8506]

Love these builds! You have inspired me to try some creative ideas of my own! Thank you for sharing you’re ideas :)

[@archite001]

nice builds, I've been looking to start a new play through and these are giving me great ideas for smaller and more manageable solo base builds

[@smittysurvival]

Ahh yes starting new play though is always a good time. Love those early game phases. Glad I could provide some ideas!

[@fromeveryting29]

A concept I have been thinking about is to actually move - build new bases, for every biome progression through a playthrough. It would be an extra challange and force me to rethink, safeguard the base for different mobs and such. BUT I’m afraid I would progress faster through the biome than I could actually build the base, and there is just something amazing about coming home to my peaceful meadows/pleins base after stressful adventures. I’ll think about it. But it WOULD be cool to try to make the best, safest swamp base to smelt iron in, and then a mountain base, less so a mistlands base, though.

[@tinanyman5084]

Thank you! Thought provoking. Great locations too!

[@goldenvalkyrie7142]

Love these builds Smitty! Always excited to see a video from you!

[@capnyoungs6896]

All the builds are awesome! and i'm getting quite a it of inspiration from them for my own builds! also love the music, fits very well with the style of the video!

That’s a really cool map in the thumbnail, I bet whoever made it and put it on Reddit is really talented

Great video definetly took some inspiration for my next server.

[@jetrexdesign]

That Mistlands base was beautiful!

[@bloodstorm6465]

Danke für dieses tolle Video. Ich konnte wieder einmal ein paar neue Dachformen lernen. ❤

[@Bleh-y9x]

These builds are very cool looking. I think I'd have a hard time making them in a group game where I'm counting on other players being able to fend off things like troll raids from smashing all my hard work.

[@muhammadsaad5660]

great project. I love these small and feasible builds.

[@smittysurvival]

Thanks! Yes small build are the best! Much more approachable than some massive project that would take weeks!

[@LancelotBonecrusher]

Amazing as always! Hard to choose a favorite, but I think the mistlands build would win for me (if you twisted my arm 😉). Great work! 🤘

[@smittysurvival]

Thanks Lancelot! Yeah Mistlands is one of my favorites too. Zen house FTW 🙌🏻

[@bidet1515]

they are all really nice ! swamp house is my favourite

[@Gladtoria]

really love it i hope there is small village in every biome version

[@Mimas810]

amazing. thanks for showing how to use this ashland building blocks. for me they feel not like a complete set. thats why i struggle with them. and cant wait for the next biome. hope they add some ice blocks for the northland biome to build a frost castle or something :D

[@electricdawn2258]

[@kongvealsurvives]

Fantastic builds. I always enjoy seeing what you are able to come up with and it certainly gave me some ideas for future builds. Where in Asia did you live? I lived in Cambodia for 3 years and am using that as inspiration for a village I'm working on building.

[@djkruck9821]

How did you not get messed with or invaded this whole time building 😂 amazing work fella

[@marie9814]

great designs. the plains house reminded me of a tent from native central asian people.

I love your builds

[@meriwidget3474]

I really like these builds, and I was trying to do your swamp one, but I have no clue how you did the roofs and there is no explanation or even a good angle to see how you did them :(. Great ideas, just wish I had a better idea of how to actually do them for my own play throughs.. but I settled for more crappy looking/basic versions of them lol.

[@YngPup]

I wish I could figure out how you do all of this... I have been trying to build a medieval style castle in the meadows but I cant even get the wall towers right

[@LadyVineXIII]

I love all the builds. I just have one question. Why didn't you use Darkwood for the plains build?

[@ManuelRodriguez-zc6wf]

Is one meter in valheim half a wood floor piece? Cause for example where it says 6m I can only see 3 wood floor tiles

[@smittysurvival]

Yes a full sized wood floor/beam is 2m. There’s short/small version which is 1m

[@scafutto]

amazing architecture! how do you do to not have mobs bothering you all the time? is it a mod?

[@majesticunicorn5399]
