[@ZugzugZugzugson]

you probably know this by now, but the reason your cooking fires go out is because they are getting smothered by the smoke, you need a proper chimney to get rid of the smoke.

[@millsy4606]

if u dont let smoke escape thats what puts your fires out

[@5309backbeat]

Oxygen depletion

[@antmydude236]

Developers thought of everything

[@EricSteinborn]

The smoke needs an upward escape, right now it’s choking on the smoke, causing the fires to go out.

[@Superstack2]

@@EricSteinborn or sideways. Works well too.

[@GT0wned1]

right. the smoke mechanics, the lack of oxygen. crazy. so thought out.

[@NebulaOfAshka]

The team that worked on Valheim made sailing realistic, created the need to know some architectural tricks to keep those walls from falling in and gave you a world were rain erodes almost everything. They also wanted you to know smoke kills. The fire needs to breathe just as much as you do. You did a great job with your builds. Location, Location, Location! Thanks for the ideas, I will use this to create a village.

[@ordinaryguysgaming2655]

it both frustrates me and I enjoy the fact that you need proper foundation support for building.

[@MoshmanGaming]

Yea same and it's very rewarding when you overcome issues for builds and I think that's why it works 🙂

[@Siks7Ate9]

@@MoshmanGaming very true, I had to raise the ground in certain areas underneath my stone flooring into a corner of certain stone walls ,the hoe it flat so it didn't stick through but the walls where blue and thus allowing me to create the hight and width I needed to complete my building as I had it planned. Otherwise I would have had to have pillars to support the stone ceiling in the second floor I have. This was also before iron beams where a thing or I knew of them anyways

[@Siks7Ate9]

The only thing that still bothers the heck out of me is how some thatch clips through wooden beams when you put them at the end of the ceiling

[@raidenshogun408]

Its crazy how homey the houses feel in this game. Just straight up cozy.

[@relaxingsoundstorelaxto8607]

Man, every time I think I’ve made something unique and pretty, I see a guy like you post yet another masterpiece. Well done man

[@MoshmanGaming]

There is some brilliant builds out there and thank you 🤘

[@dawid2992]

If the smoke cannot get out correctly, it puts out the fire undernath it. You can avoid it by rotating the roof pieces to look upward instead of downward.

[@Astrussy]

If you don’t like how the exit of your ventilation looks, you can also just give the smoke it’s own chamber, no ventillation is actually needed. Essentially build a tall box or horizontal box above the fire and the smoke will collect in it and slowly just dissipate. Another important note is that smoke particle are roughly the size of one floor piece (2x2), so if your ventillation/box is smaller than 2x2 the smoke won’t travel through it.

[@Watercooledguy]

The fence in the windows is absolutely brilliant!

[@amurrjuan]

The campfires go out because they too can be choked out by smoke if it’s not properly vented. If you make your chimney taller, then make have an open area of walls at the top, beams in the corner and a roof pointing away from the house, it will properly vent the smoke out and you won’t have to worry about them going out. Hope this helped, and if it didn’t just look up valheim chimneys and someone should have a guide for you

[@sojournermathys]

The campfires go out because they are smoking themselves out, they need a bit of extra space. Also, if you want your roofs to have a little bit of overhang, you can place a wooden crossbeam in the middle of your roof's corners and it will be snapped just enough for some modest overhang. Place your roofs then just remove the beams and replace them with whatever you want for detailing. Another tip is, you can make your windows look more authentic by adding a flat wooden beam on the bottem. These are easy as you have them from the start, so it's an early way to make your homes more homey. Hope these tips help, if you end up using them, or figuring them out by my crude explaining. A shout out would be nice =). Love the vids and I'm learning a lot, keep it up!

[@MoshmanGaming]

Awesome thank you 🙂🤘

[@Dt0x75]

The first thing I noticed at the beginning of the video was how cool that wall looked... I like that!

[@pirax1380]

Nice building. I've a tip for your chimney problem. Build a chimney ;) no joke, just let the chimney pass your 2nd floor and the roof. Build a roof for your chimney (against the rain) and open the chimney on roof-level at one side 2nd tip for your storage underneath the stairs. Rotate your chests by 90° and you have more space and no tight floor

[@nblife916]

Looks great. Just a heads up though -Dragur claw right through wood walls. Trolls smash entire sections out. Can get around that not by building stone walls (smashsmashgone) but by raising the ground naturally into a wall, which they won't attack. Trolls also don't have too much difficulty with using rivers as highways. Been there, lol. Do love the authenticity and concept.

[@Mjsmecha]

Beautiful detailing with the logs to break up the flat surfaces and very clever use of the fences as windows. Really appreciate the tips!

[@regulator2.071]

Looks amazing my guy👏🏿👏🏿 I can’t wait to start my main base! You really out here sparking Creativity!! LOVE IT!!

[@MoshmanGaming]

Thanks I appreciate that and happy to help 🤘🙂

[@NorseNoahJ]

Huge fan of all of this! I’m just starting out but as soon as I can I’m establishing a village with a Great Hall just as they did! I love the ideas!

[@Stonehawk]

I believe your fires keep going out because they're being suffocated by their own smoke. I had this happen to me too when there wasn't proper ventilation. Your chimney doesn't really provide a sufficient way out in its present state - because the smoke won't 'travel' down to get out, i'll just build up directly over the fires and smother them.

[@reb00tgamer]

This was really inspiring! I like how you tried to keep the Viking aesthetic and added your own creative flair to it. The main hall and the raised dais were both things I tried to accomplish before I knew anything about building and I failed miserably. You have succeeded!!

[@ozzy1243]

Two beds slammed together to make a double 😂😂. That cooking station was brilliant

[@ashryver3605]

I see a lotta comments about the fire and rain decay, so no point repeating. What I will say is, I really like the idea of the fireplace (reminds me of a storefront counter!) and more importantly the framing you did with the small wooden fences, and detailing w/logs. Nice look!

[@gothtaino]

I too had my fires going out, I've come to realize its because the chimney needs to be two wall heights tall. Otherwise it thinks it's outside randomly.

[@ButtChew]

Its because the fire is suffocating and putting itself out from lack of oxygen

[@daneOcawdor]

Great video dude. Concise but informative, with a good pace.

[@MoshmanGaming]

Thank you I appreciate that 🤘🙂

[@Davidxsr73]

First time I saw walls like that. And windows too! Love it

[@jeniko2841]

Love your base! Adding some trophies will really make the great Hall stand out, maybe have a table with a bunch of food items on it for decorative purposes.

[@TheOnePistol]

And I thought my "shack" was nice. lol

[@benozzy003]

Should see mine build the structure b4 I knew you could remove stones so its all kind of janke

[@RottenFlesh-we6nu]

Lmao my "shack" is basicly four walls and a roof lol

[@the_vr_potato1768]

@@RottenFlesh-we6nu mine only has 3 and it’s up against a rock so all sides covered :,)

[@Undermin3d.]

That is an awesome location. I hope I find something like this in my world I just started last night. Also, the building tips were great. You have for sure done a fantastic job in the aesthetic department.

[@gingerduffproductions3061]

Only played this for 2 days, and I'm getting the Final Fantasy VII feeling. This could be the best game ever made. It's early days yet, but it's heading that way. ABsolutely LOVE it!!!

[@dotech4128]

Easily the "coziest" base I've yet to see. It genuinely looks homey, for a viking anyway.

[@MoshmanGaming]

Yea it definitely has a homey feel, and was going for that look for sure. Still spend most of my time here so gotta like your surroundings haha

[@Viccerz]

Rivers are great! My world seed: squiggly, rocky peninsulas with a giant ocean to tge north and wind that always blows south 😖

[@c0rr0s10n]

Water decay is from rain, if you put a roof area over it there will be no damage taken

[@robertstimmel1100]

great job on the build! This is the nicest house I've seen in Valheim yet...BY FAR!

[@jacobwilson4665]

I know this is an older video and this might be a newer mechanic but I believe that as long as the smoke is rising 8 meters it'll dissipate naturally with no chimney

[@grimnar6725]

You don't need multiple portals at your base. Just change the tag to go to whichever one you want. Looks cool though.

[@MoshmanGaming]

Ahhh never thought of that thank you 🤘🙂

[@relaxingsoundstorelaxto8607]

That would never have occurred to me! Thanks for the tip 👍

[@BaritoneUkeBeast4Life]

Holy cow, your creative design skills are off the charts. Your absolutely brilliant, I'm glad I just found your channel and subscribed. I hope you don't mind me stealing your vey clever design ideas since I am planning on modeling my entire base log for log as close to what you have created as possible. It will be a good month or two to before I get to where you are in the game level wise. I only have about 35+ hours in and just got my first set of Troll armor and built the forge bench and smelter. I haven't even crafted my bronze tools or armor yet. By the way, listening to you speaking on this video, I'd swear I was listening to actor David Thewlis narrating. Any chance my ear for British accents has gotten good enough to guess your from the Blackpool, Lancashire region? Keep up the fantastic work and I look forward to your future videos.

[@Patrick-go8ub]

Made an exact copy of this. It was just too good. Added a little extra wall details with the small cross.

[@carolneill9955]

Just love how you used the fences in the windows, looks very cool! :)

[@zeeheaded]

Had a similar thing with the fires going out, they were being choked because the chimney was too small. It's probably because you've got so many next to each other/more than one per square.

[@hazelarson6970]

The fires go out because there’s too much smoke, I used to deal with that all the time

[@summermcphail8359]

Might have been commented before but weather/exposure decay on structures only drops to %50, it wont go lower but it makes it easier for things like all the damn greydwarves to break

[@Onelegleg]

I found that if you put a roof over floors, or other items they will not decay. My gates were always damaged, so I put 2 of the little roof pieces over them, and they stopped decaying.

[@TheImpatientGam3r]

The fires go out because the smoke is snuffing out the flames, then when the flames go out the smoke goes away abit and fires come back on

[@sandmansleeps]

Love the base very beautiful. Gave me many ideas. I can't wait to start my main base.

[@scaleworksRC]

Very cool ideas man. I'm not nearly that elaborate with my builds yet, but they're all a work in progress. I like to put 2 cooking stations per fire.

[@BraveAsher]

I love your logo. I breathe and sleep pirates

[@MoshmanGaming]

Thank you 🙂

[@benozzy003]

You can use 2 food stations on each fire if u place them just right

[@Ribbitkill]

Sometimes when i'm cooking dinner if it doesn't look good i add some core wood pillars for a garnish.

[@MoshmanGaming]

Truth! 😂

[@barrett5229]

Excellent! Love the way you used the pieces so creatively to bring the home to life. Really great job

[@nathan_james]

The cooking fires go out occasionally because of smoke accumulation. Your chimney looks nice but doesn't vent fast enough

[@habaz7838]

The fences in the window opening looks really good!

[@IamGhede]

Wow, That kitchen is amazing. Thank you for all the tips. I had such a hard time building my first roof. Hoping watching this helps. I imagine all those beams help with support as well as look amazing. So many deerskin rugs... I have been being a damn slacker.

[@zakunick1]

I just built my first solo house and the roof was a pain.

[@jkar4727]

Awsome build! I will definitely use some of your tips. And perhaps I can help with some stuff I have discovered so far: If you get rid of the stool, your comfort level will go up. Apparently lower level comfort things within the same category override higher level ones. So while chair has 2, it is overriden with the stool with 1. Also, I think the fires go out because they run out of wood. If you aim the focus on the fire it will show you how much fuel it has left out of 10. It lasts a long while, but needs replenishing from time to time. With the spare portal: remember to tag it before you go out, or the portal built out there in the land won't connect. Which can be key if you need to bug out quick! And make sure to remember what you named it ; P

[@YakovS5]

Very creative! Definitely gonna use some of these ideas for my builds.

[@jasonslipper9531]

What I've noticed is structures that aren't covered get damaged like that when you're in or next to the Back Forest, whereas my unsheltered structures in the meadows don't take damage (or much)

[@MoshmanGaming]

Yea I was thinking about this also I'm not sure about damage but I think the weathered effects are different for sure

[@rydout]

My uncovered structures in the meadow take just as much dmg as the black forest. I believe it is anything without a roof on it takes damage.

[@jasonslipper9531]

@@rydout Yeah anything uncovered takes damage in bad weather, it's just that I've got a dock in the meadows that has never taken any damage since building it and then a bridge and dock in/next to the Black forest that was taken damage straight away

[@corvidaegudmund1186]

I wonder if making a tall covered dock would stop the damage?

[@TronTuborg]

As long as there is a roof tile directly above, anything underneath will count as covered. Afaik, if a piece is over 50% underwater it will also be at half health.

[@davidjacobik5451]

Great build dude! And yeah the fires? I think make the chimney shoot aim upward outside your house, its just like real life where fire is being smothered... I love your window design btw, pure genius! ... (I keep adding to my comment lol) your use of those corewood beams in the walls is good too, you have a lot of unique design ideas I haven't seen other people do yet!

[@MoshmanGaming]

I have modified the chimney now after people pointed me in the right direction, I knew I needed to let smoke escape had no idea ot was as detailed as choking it self out without adequate ventilation though 🙂👍 I was really happy with the windows its always fun messing around using different objects for decoration or in ways they wasn't intended. Can't wait to see what else they add to the structures as the game develops 🤘

[@highwon]

I like it. When I saw that smoke coming from the back of the house from that fireplace I thought about making a "sauna-house" with that smoke 😁 Just an idea to play with. Keep up the good work!

[@MoshmanGaming]

Very cool might give that a try myself 🤘😁

[@piwright42]

Fires going out intermittently... I think that might just be from smoke particles building up in a low chimney. Just a theory I have not had time to experiment with but an issue that happens on my build and it has a chimney that only goes two walls high.

[@richaelastaley8131]

I was able to get better ventilation for a similar type chimney/fireplace system using the taller roof instead of the shorter one. Not sure if that would fit in the space you've created, but it might fix the fires going off and on.

[@GamerPhilosophy]

Im always glad to see colleague gaming youtuber , to see how my fellow gaming youtubers make their videos of games , great video , i subscribed , keep up good work mate. 👌😊👍

[@ZeddyAndijani]

Awesome work mate! For the chimnies, I recommend making the opening a level higher, and covering the level it's at from the outside

[@kyleb1958]

the wood decay is because its not covered by a roof and has been rained on, wood structures not covered by a roof take damage down to half HP

[@ancientsalt4291]

Nice build mate! I just finished my massive long hall. Cant wait to get the stone cutter and artisan table.

[@Axi-Sol]

Your fires are going out because there isn’t enough ventilation as in somewhere for the smoke to go

[@iampsico]

yes

[@BIazendraco]

From my testing, the smoke does indeed suffocate campfires, they need at least 1 full sized wall length of opening to exhaust the smoke without suffocating campfires as opposed to half wall sized openings.

[@HadeyanUtkan]

Your ventilation system is wrong dude. The Smoke aint leave the chimney thats why the smoke chokes your fire. That's why it turns off.

[@WTFAnyNameWorks]

Awesome content, love the time stamps. Keep it coming man!

[@RurouniKalainGaming]

16:20 Solid tip for the 45 degree roof building, hadn't thought of that, single floor tile.

[@luftwolf7405]

I've been attaching ladders to the roofs to access them. This idea is so much easier though that it puts me slightly ashame. ;-)

[@brennab2577]

Great ideas! I love the windows and the wall design

[@WharfRat0A54]

At 7:45, your fires are going out from the build up of smoke because the ventilation is not good. I had a similar problem that went away once the smoke was properly vented. Very nice build, lots of creative ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@JohnBelley86]

@8:48 you're smothering the fires, thats what's happening. The smoke is around the fire. If smoke doesn't freely travel up and out it puts the fire out.

[@RaZeyLWindBladE]

The campfire goes out because it gets 'suffocated' by its own smoke. You need to have about 2-3m allowance for the smoke. My fireplace keeps turning off as well until I increased the chimney height. Something to take note.

[@dosicmyth]

7:35 they're going out because the smoke from the others aren't rising fast enough. Also you can put the cooking racks the opposite directing and fit multiple on one fire. I normally put like 4 on one fire you can fit more though.

Hey this is really good using the core wood to frame the stone and wood to break it up looks really great, thanks for the tips.

[@0Cruik0]

You might wanna try replacing the logs in your fireplace, I think that might be causing the fire to keep going out like that. Try using beams and see if it stops. I've noticed some of the materials just behave different with weather when you try to build shelters out of them. Logs don't seem to have all the exact same characteristics as beams in that way.

[@camroot6086]

I would imagine you figured out why your fires are going out on you but just in case. It could be that you're suffocating the flames with having the roof for them so low. I kinda dislike how that'd a feature. Especially if youre using iron grates.

[@bpdbleach]

Very cool ideas, as for the campfires randomly going out I have a theory, not fully tested though. I believe the smoke is actually suffocating the fire at times. I've had a few designs do the same thing till I changed the chimney design up a bit.

[@kekz0r]

Change out your cooking fires with hearths. Faster cooking. No smoke. :)

[@b1doman150]

You’re fire places look sweet. They keep randomly going out because the smoke chokes them. You need more height above them before you set the roofing

How did you solve the problem of having a bedroom upstairs and able to sleep without being next to the fire ?

[@MoshmanGaming]

This bedroom was actually above my crafting room so the fires were almost directly below the bed.

[@pykaswitz]

The fires are suffocating from the smoke not expelling fast enough to the outside. Works best if you have the smoke catch higher up then expelling outside.
