so happy to see someone building without creative mode on and even fighting off the beast of the swamp you are the real deal my friend ROCK AND STONE!

[@shaunhalstead5439]

For karl!

I agree! I LOVE the freedom of the building aspect in the game, but will refuse to utilize "God Mode" for the sake of creativity. I've only just recently progressed to the Swamps. I look forward to the options available for better builds. Awesome job with the Swamp build! I look forward to seeing more of your creativity!!!

[@Tahoe756]

You guys have dumb logic dev commands just make it so you don’t have to farm materials for two years

[@humbleclay79]

You think he's carrying all that stone and iron in his pockets? Rock and Stone, anyway!

[@crasyperson123]

As someone who dislikes the swamps, I don't see any good reason to stay there. I personally prefer the plains and meadows for setting up shop. However, the build is really good and fits the vibe of the area rather well. Nice job!

[@jensdeblock1691]

You can probably see this more as a fallout base to teleport to, to gather resources from the swamp

[@Mizz3206]

Swamps are great for farming iron and it’s usually near the plains

[@leonrobinson2053]

I was thinking the very same thing, its horrible, everything can kick your butt, except the skeletons, if you don't have decent food and its not very well lit. I'm starting a second playthrough and my philosophy is no portals and live in every biome (at least where the boss is), this means setting up shop and not leaving each one until the boss is beaten twice (one head for the stones and one for my wall).

[@-Mr.-X-]

@@leonrobinson2053 I play with a friend on a private server. We kill the bosses 3 times for the same reason. One to sacrifice to the stones and one for our own display. (He created a side server so he could process his spoils. He does not progress his server)

[@leonrobinson2053]

@@-Mr.-X- love that, I play solo because everyone I played with just wanted to race through it.

Very fitting theme music for Halloween

[@ghost_warrior49]

This is now my favorite swamp build, love the light reflecting off the different surfaces. thank you for sharing.

[@NotGeralt]

Thanks! Glad you like it.

[@ardentdfender4116]

It is always funny how at the start of every video you cruise up in the longboat like an O.G. and right away start building! And that to me is always hilarious in a way. It's also like you build a bigger bader Crypt in the Swamp. But you know your like a badass when you actually make your main base also in the swamp of all places.

[@Nic9963]

Love this design, great intro and recording skills. Top notch production value. I like the fact that you don't fly around in creative mode but instead use ladders and hops to get around. Makes it more realistic and shows off your skills too :)

[@NotGeralt]

Much appreciated!

[@whitelion1284]

I love these videos. Keep it up, mate. Every build is a work of art.

[@StCreed]

Very stylish design, great video too! Really modern lay-out, no frills. Love it!

[@NotGeralt]

Thanks so much!

[@scs3jb]

Yeah.. hut on top of a sunken crypt for me!

[@Loosersnooze]

Awesome job w the lighting effects!

[@PaulBernert]

Love your videos! I’m about to move into the swamp so this video is perfect timing!🙌

[@Clovis_Rose]

Well done! I am really impressed.

[@tyraelpl]

Very cool and unique design imho. Thx!

[@Mizz3206]

Honestly I’m digging the background music

[@NotGeralt]

Glad you like it!

[@woodsmire]

perfect music for the swamp

[@barrypeters4433]

Very cool, great job.

[@leonrobinson2053]

I like this a lot but the swamp creeps me out, big time. The green lanterns give it the perfect finish.

[@ChugoO0]

I see that I'm not the only one actually hating the swamp biome hahah. Really great design tho

[@badgirlfriend998]

Awesome build ☺️ 🥰

[@triune7139]

Nice work dude!

[@ronniecunningham9145]

Keep up the awesome builds man gonna be stealing some of your layout for my plains base :)

[@NotGeralt]

Thanks, happy building!

[@rhonin210]

amazing builds u have. i love it.

[@NotGeralt]

Thank you so much!

[@ronanloncle13]

that's impressive !

[@gamerbenjji]

thats dope af

Wait a minute, this isn't a treehouse!

[@d3m3n70r]

Excellent!

[@razorback0z]

Amazing!

[@danielcox7060]

Love this!

[@dvynthetraveler9509]

Love the design but wouldnt the enemies nearby be attacking the structure constantly?

[@randalstilskin5266]

Yeah probably using heavy mods no way your boat doesnt get attacked by Leaches before you even get to land.

[@StCreed]

@@randalstilskin5266 It just depends a bit on the swamp how many leeches there are attacking you. I've had swamps that were a bloody nightmare to enter, and swamps that were just darker versions of meadows.

[@randalstilskin5266]

@@StCreed How many maybe but none at all Zero chance. On top of that besides ghosts most of the other swamp mobs spawn on the Swamps perimeter.

[@NotGeralt]

The mobs have been pretty weird with this build, they instantly ran for any torches outside the base but seem to not be to keen on the stone/iron. Although they do sometimes attack it.

[@mcjamesmongan8829]

Haha I've been making a cool base in the swamp only damage I get ok my base is raids

[@adrianokury]

After I built a Surtling farm and started to plant birches, I no longer need to spare portals. So, I have 3 main bases with comfort, cooking facilities and storage. All the rest, including all my bases located in the swamp are but outposts to protect a portal and arks to temporarily store goods. In the swamp I like to build atop the crypts, where the mobs usually don't reach much. Some wall to take the initial damage and voilà... I just hate the inability to teleport metal, forcing me to either sail and shipwreck often or plod along perilous roads getting attacked by zillions of mobs.

[@scythn]

dude, you should do a "how to" on that bonfire platform. I really cant figure how you get it to look so good with those stones in a almost circle

[@ten_catz]

never used god mode before but im always tempted to just use cheats and create amazing builds as i see other content creators do but watching this inspires me to not back down and continue being a true viking and build only with my own resources and fighting off mobs in process. i haven't created any great builds except my main base yet but thanks for sharing this! my goal is to make a base or just small outposts in each biome, i thought swamp and mistlands gonna be the most challenging

[@anthonyzullo]

Why not? Just use it to build. Make a build world. People are so weird thinking qol, commands or the such is cheating smh. NO one's gonna give you a prize if you don't use creative mode smh.

[@anthonyzullo]

That's like saying you're cheating at reading with an audio book lol

[@ten_catz]

@@anthonyzullo if I would want a build just for showing off I would use "creative" mode of course, but since I'm gonna live in this place I don't think it's fair for a survival mode. Why is this weird? If you build something with cheats and live in it, where is the charm? The feeling that you accomplished something? It's just too easy

[@captnoddball]

I never vibed so hard to a song before

[@gilgameshbebop]

the swamp biome would be great to do a version of minas morgul with all those green torches

[@MrKyurne]

The idea of grid floor is good, building a little bit too square to my opinion, excellent work 🤙

[@NotGeralt]

Thanks! Yeah every time I build with stone I end up with a square haha. Need to improve on it.

[@sawyer6551]

@@NotGeralt Probably a similar problem to what a lot of minecraft builds have where unless you go really large its hard to build out of "squares" and not make it look square. They need to give us some angled and curved pieces to work with in the game!

[@arklytte]

Love the build/video! Only (mild) complaint: Since it's pretty clear you're building in Creative mode, it would have been nice (and something to think about going forward), to set the TOD for Noon, so we can actually *SEE* all that goodness being built. :) Otherwise, fantastic build. I'm looking forward to building a decent Swamp base of my own, and this definitely gives me some good ideas.

[@BBSonofa]

You're missing the vegetable garden ))

[@loveisthekey]

good

[@DerFreiegedanke]

Ddi you know that the big trees can be used to build giant tree houses?

[@NotGeralt]

Yes but I couldn't decide on a design for it, I'm thinking of adding a treehouse to this build in the future!

[@DerFreiegedanke]

@@NotGeralt I did that for my swamp base and its pretty usefull to avoid the abominations and all the other stuff there.

[@Alexandrefcg]

This is my Swamp

[@curseofsasuke]

That’s the slimiest base I’ve ever seen

[@slayerdude18]

hmm i think it would look better if you just made a small base in style of a witch's house on a little hill somewhere in the middle of the swamp

[@NotGeralt]

Might give this a try in the future :)

[@cyclonevan11]

Building base in Swamp biome is a sin. That's torture.

[@Jeff-om5rb]

I got like 800 hours in Valheim and I feel may shacks look good hhahahaah

[@Chillburger]

Its all good until abomination came. I'm surprised that it never appeared in progress. Me with friend got 2 abominations after 5 minutes of our arrival >_

[@NotGeralt]

They seem to spawn in specific spots, since I'm building in one spot I there must have not been any near me.

[@Pdxgunfighter]

Didn’t know people still played this. Have they updated it since release?

[@adrianszejner5612]

Yeah. There are new building options, and You need to check the swamps. They are scary now. 🤣

[@Pdxgunfighter]

@@adrianszejner5612 they where scary when I played the first time at launch lol

[@mikkiedii4782]

So this is sandbox mode, there's no way you have all of that material on you when building. Would be impressive, if you had actually farmed all that.

[@fiasworkshop]

honestly, no one cares if thats the only input you have. good architecture is good no matter what, you just sound like an annoying edgelord elitist.

[@dekippiesip]

How the hell not? Stone can travel through portals, and you don't actually lack that. I got this much stone as a by product of mining silver in the mountains.

[@michealnelsonauthor]

In mother Russia, swamp explore you.

[@sneezyfido]

A bit like how in Plains it's the visitors who gets explored. No need to bend over, squito will stick its nose through the armor.

[@dirkzin7188]

😊 P r o m o s m!!!

[@itsjustmemildoze]

i watch your videos at 2x speed... my only regret is there isnt a triple speed.

[@xXTheMustXx]

why bother fighting if u clearly use creative mode..

just another cheat build

lets see the half ass bullshit you make xD
