Valheim: How To Build A Blacksmith House

[@TheDlacey31]

Thank you! I built this house for the most part. Changed the stairs to a spiral staircase from the basement to the 2nd level. Then made the basement expand underneath to the kitchen/bar area. Just put the long core wood for vertical supports. Was able to fit 2 blast furnaces, 3 smelters, 2 kilns, fully upgraded forge, fully upgraded workstation, a bunch of chests, and 3 looms down there. I’m tempted to try to get the basement underneath the the 1st floor forge area, but I’m scared of the stone floor collapsing

Really late comment, but in the worst case scenario, you could just raise an earth pillar in the middle of the basement for structural support, and run core wood pillars along the 4 corners of them.

This is an example of how a combination of simple things may result on very good buildings, no need to become crazy or to try too weird things. To my personal taste, I don't like excessively framed roofs, they're so cool when those frames are a detail but lose all their charm when they become a patron. But that's just my personal preference.

[@KC-bg1th]

@@chrisbrown8677 To get the blocks to stay up, temporarily build a wooden beam underneath them until the floor is touching the other side of the wall. Think of it like it one side of a bridge doesn’t touch land, it’ll collapse under its weight, but if both sides are connected, the bridge won’t collapse. Just delete the wooden beams underneath afterward and you should be good, providing you aren’t building too far away from the foundation.
