Valheim Base Building Tips & Tricks Gameplay Guide Build a UNDERGROUND HOUSE CASTLE Survival Builder

[@ESOdanny]

Secret Tip: You can actually go ANOTHER Floor Deeper if you remove the bottom layer of stone in the pre-existing structure!

[@daveawb]

I just removed the bottom layer. This is an amazing tip, thanks!

[@Haldoe]

Dude you are a big, big part of the Valheim guides and informative things on KZbin and your vids are amazing so keep up the good and amazing work :) I may use this so thank you.

[@picklemanfan785]

Hi I really like your vids they are helping so much

[@prospect2664]

why do you need to do this tho ?? from what i have understood, unless u provoke an mob, they wont attack you...

I don’t mind the speed building at all and think it rather helps me understand how you went through the process. Great video as always! I also absolutely think you should make the beacons of Gondor.

[@fuzhead22]

Thanks, Danny! I prefer the sped up building process, not the skipped parts. If I'm trying to see how it works seeing it all, even sped up, really helps. Plus if there's something I don't get, I can slow the video down or pause it. I really appreciate these videos.

[@jamesbartlett4477]

I like the sped up parts. makes it easier to see how you did things and makes it easier to reference. We can even slow it down if we need to. please keep it.

[@jordan321able]

Honestly seeing the work is better for guides and for just seeing you actually doing the progress. I know you save the good stuff for us to see but a lot of people wanna see more of the experience.

[@th4br4nm4n]

This game is insanely addicting

[@wyrmtung8700]

Fun until you use console commands like he is. Then you just build w.e. you want and fly around oneshotting bosses. All for the clicks i guess

[@Dr.Clockworks]

I love the speed building parts! It really helps show just how you built everything and it doesn't leave us to speculate how something might have been finished. I hope they aren't difficult to edit as I find them super helpful!

[@ajk354]

Hi ESO! I found you during the peak of humanity - Skyrim and I have always had a blast watching everything you play. Thank you for all the great videos have a great day!

[@MrReddBeard203]

I watched your first Valheim video right after you posted it at while at work. As soon as I got home that night I bought it and have loved every minute of my time in this marvelous game. Thank you for bringing this game into my life Danny.

[@sirhenry9313]

Definitely prefer the sped-up process, not a complete skip. Another great little home....but.... I really want to see you maximise your architectural background and just go full-force into a massive castle complete with don-jon and Machiculations, ramparts, ballistrades, fortifications, throne room.... Just a huge, massive stone castle. Dont even need to show us the process, just a video-guided tour of the finalised product

[@cursedsinner5069]

I've literally been asking for a game like this to come out and my prayers have been answered

I rly like your way to explain things. thats what many Valheim tubers missing. Mostly just posting video and thats it.

[@haroldvollmar7296]

Danny dont change a thing your videos are amazing as is. Keep up the great work

[@AlexTheDankEngine]

I like the sped up bits, I don't have to turn up the video speed to get through it but I can still see what you're actually doing.

[@um-vl6on]

Rather than imagining those things, just build it man. It will be a heck of a content. As far as I know. No one building those. Yet.

[@joelwerre]

I like the sped up version. Nice work, thanks for your videos.

[@bokchoy9294]

They've really gotta add a round roof-piece, for all us round-house homies.

[@MalonzeProductionsGaming]

Triangle pieces to make it the round homes. Like in conan or ark

[@AnimationPB]

Yes! The clipping makes me avoid round structures. If not round,a tiny filler piece that connects a diagonal roof.

[@Soluscide]

@@AnimationPB You can angle the roof pieces pretty effectively to avoid any major clipping issues with round houses. Just gotta make sure to keep it all symmetrical.

[@T_White22]

Keep the sped up parts! It's nice to see it built all the way through. Love your videos mate!

[@chuckyhatchet4397]

You're the reason I bought this game. And you're one of the reasons I've made its so far ( other then my friend for Finland 🇫🇮)

[@lynnsurman8677]

I just have to say, the pace at which you do your video is perfect. You speak so we can understand you. (I have watched others who seem to speed talk through the whole thing) Great ideas for that pre existing ruin! I will definitely be using your techniques! Thanks for the great content 😊

[@jamesbarker1994]

Reminds me of the tower at Helgen in Skyrim, the first part of the game were you dragon smashing through the wall. Awesome haha

[@Hidfors]

I'm a bit of an idiot when it comes to building, so I like these videos. Personally, I appreciate the sped up sections of building.

[@RichBradshaw1]

Really enjoying your videos, definitely like the speed crafting sections.

[@keenzo1998]

Please please make more vids like these. This is exactly what a bunch of us need

[@bloodelfreku]

Keep the sped up parts and don’t skip. Gives us the ability to see how you built specific parts and it’s enjoyable.

[@singulant]

I like the fast forwarding! Great video. Loving Valheim can't get enough of it

[@TheSirTomo]

Just so you know.. The bottom stone floor of your tower.. Isn't the bottom :P if you remove a few stone floor pieces it goes down to the "Real" basement!

[@richardhorner855]

Keep in the speed building, it shows the stages and effort involved.

[@JackPitmanNica]

I like seeing the sped up parts, it helps me visualize what you are doing. The sped up parts are better than words explaining them without visuals

[@4thKJU]

Sped up parts are crucial to see the how-it's-done part of the tutorial. Nothing is worse than reading a car manual that says repair engine, then turn key. Like wtf what are these wires and why is there smoke help plz. Sometimes it seems like a no-brainer to put this piece here, and that piece there, but everyone thinks and acts differently so I think it's great to have the sped up parts. Thank you!

[@iKrazyyi]

Always give a thumbs up. I just ordered my wife her PC and me and her are wanting to jump into this game and your videos have given me a great starting strategy.

[@wyrmtung8700]

What strategy is that using console commands lol. Ya real strategy mate. You're so dumb you didnt even notice how hard he is cheating.

[@leonoliveira8652]

The sped up part is actually good - just seeing it completed might make it hard for some peeps to understand, specially when it's so dark.

[@Menelker]

Seeing the building sped up it still pretty informative and gives a nice bit of zest to the experience.

Love this game so much, incredibly relaxing and creative! Something I didn't realise is ladder steps generate fall damage if you run down them too fast and touch the base, think that needs fixing.

[@dunngyllite7883]

sweet;) I agree with a lot of comments here: the speed up building process is an integral part of those kind of vids, so I would keep them. I am building an outpost in a meadow area right now, with swamp, dark forest and mountain nearby - and I decided to go for a treehouse this time. This is the most challenging house for me so far, because once up there in the leafage you basically can't see what you are doing most of the time, so be warned if you plan on doing something similar. I will put out a video of this build in a week or so, so behold ;)

[@Lipzyncable]

i hope someone makes a mod that makes one of these an underground dungeon type thing that if you clear it, you can take it over and have an underground base then build above like the tower thing u did, its so frustrating that Valhiem will physically not let you mine a cave system or build a cave base or nothing... any modders seeing this wanna give it a go :P

[@keenzo1998]

also early access, modders shouldnt even attempt to make any big mods if a game is in early access

[@Lipzyncable]

@@keenzo1998 theres already over 100+ mods for the game already, so i doubt it matters.

Thank you for doing the unique odd styles of buildings using the environment along with architectural skills and touches, rather than mostly extravagant mega builds that are a whole different crowd. The beauty and feeling of the game is enhanced by blending human ingenuity with the raw loveliness of nature, in ways that most people can wrap their heads around and make it in few days, but enjoy it for eternity!

[@LancelotBonecrusher]

Again, FANTASTIC! Love the guides! And like the speed up left in the videos so we can see the whole process. Keep it up!

[@Greenmarty]

To lead smoke out without suffocating you can build simple chimney. Build 4 poles around fire and start placing walls of chimney (highest at height of 2m pole +1m pole above fire). While placing walls on top of each other all the way to roof, you can leave half wall sized windows every other wall piece if you want. Chimney works rather reliably as long as there're no bigger than half wall sized holes in it.
