Valheim - How to Build a Viking Longhouse (starter base tutorial)

[@ballenwallen]

The fact that they don't penalize you for destroying something and you get the exact amount of supplies back is awesome. They are doing this game right.

[@reapingangel8144]

Not gonna lie, I've only played for about two days now, but I actually thought they penalized you for breaking something, and it was a relief to see they didn't because I accidentally placed down things several times. I agree they're doing this game right. I also agree with the people who say for being in early access, the game itself is already amazing.

[@idunwannadie]

Also, if your buildings/cart/stuff get destroyed, you still wont get penalized. Not sure about the item inside the cart though.

[@reapingangel8144]

@@idunwannadie Yup, it's pretty nice. I don't know about a cart, to be honest, I've only really gotten to the Bronze stage, but as far as it seems, if mobs destroy a chest, it looks like every item inside is saved, so I'd have to guess it's the same for carts and what-not.

It's amazing how the graphics are so basic, yet can look so stunning at times.

[@jonxisxbatman]

It's like a breath of the wild meets world of warcraft vibe. I love it

[@Euruzilys]

I think its the lighting that makes the game gorgeous. The texture itself isn't that detailed, but the lighting helps so much.

[@DerekEklund]

Lighting, color, and the general art direction go a long, long way. The game is simplistic graphically, but very beautiful and atmospheric. At times this game brings me back to early WoW vibes.

[@PunjabiPiccolo]

So true!

[@therealbahamut]

It's a textbook example of substance over style. The graphics aren't photorealistic but they're utilized in a way that conveys information well and still allows for good detail where it matters. The UI is clean, responsive and fairly intuitive overall. The visual design is simple but effective. It's got it where it counts.

[@VoiceULove]

Just a tip about building support. Beams actually don't provide support the way you think it should. Everything is tied to one building stability mechanic. You can build up to 5 building structures from a foundation. What that means is, when you place your first building pieces on the ground, whether its a floor or pillars, it cons blue instead of green, yellow or red. Blue indicates a building piece is in contact with the ground, thus making it a foundation piece. From those blue con building pieces, you can build up to 4 or 5 pieces further. Doesn't matter what the pieces are, but once you reach the 4 or 5 piece limit, the last piece will con red, meaning anything added to it will collapse. In other words, if you were to use 5 one meter pillars and stacked them on top of each other. The top or 5th piece will turn red and anything added on top of it in any direction will collapse. So building stability for tall structures is all about using the longest or rather tallest building pieces you have available for connecting to your foundation to your roof. The game will take the shortest route from foundation to top roof piece available. Therefor, if you wish to build tall buildings, it is best to use the tallest beams you have available as much as possible.

[@fireballgaming6375]

True, I used far less support beams that he did, and my long house does no collapse.

[@CharlesChristena]

This comment made the video irrelevant to me. Thank you @VoiceULove

[@scapingby]

the beams add the to appearance otherwise its just a big shed

[@VoiceULove]

@@scapingby Yes, beams can be considered as aesthetic props, but my point was, they do nothing to add structural support.

[@NewYears1978]

I think most of his videos are to build it in a more realistic stance..not simply the "easiest" structural way.

[@Rezzorito]

This games so sick, been a long time since I've been addicted to a game

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Yeah I am getting hooked :)

[@candles--]

I just described this game to my girlfriend as the equivalent to crack in the video game world lol

[@arobot4398]

I wish I never bought it, my first play through lasted 8 hours... It's the only thing I can think about now.

[@universal_wisdom3416]

I can’t even begin to express my gratitude for making this video for us. I had a vision for how I wanted my build to be, but the lack of a flat roof in particular created a lot of trouble in the end. And I decided to destroy my creation and start from scratch. After finding your video I followed most of the steps while putting my own twist on things, I couldn’t be happier with the end result. After about 4 hours I’m finally finished, and I get to watch the sun rise while I sit in the grass and watch as the god rays bathe this masterpiece in all its glory. I got stuck on one part which was how you made the staircase to the chimney, but I made something of my own to make up for it. Thanks so much for the tutorial :)

[@architectsxiii5379]

I love this build. Took it, built it, and then been modifying, made a basement below dug until water, got a boat down there and you sail out from under the house out into the sea. Also been working on a portal room etc. Thanks for such a great foundation for the start!

[@coreyg7364]

that is a brilliant idea...

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

That sounds really good great idea. I am in need of a portal room now I have been exploring my closest Swamp was 2 islands away but the island has all the biomes so I might mover there.

Posted a new Build, a Cave House built under a rock and a small Starter base :) I thought it might be a good place to store more valuable items and gear. Build Video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3mqc6mAjKyoq5Y Finished my first Valheim how to build tutorial for an early game Viking Longhouse. This game is really good guys, it has amazing physics-based building mechanics, you have to support the builds with poles and beams and make sure the structure is sound. I did a quick review at the start of the video. If you don't know much about the game or are thinking of getting it give the video a quick watch :) It is out on Steam in Early Access and I highly recommend it.

[@ThatPianoNoob]

Great video! Any chance for one about building towers/higher structures?

[@canozto8105]

I did the same by watching the video. But I think it took me 3 hours. Thank you very much.🙏

[@emanuelgriesbeck8508]

Great Video, it helped me alot =). I took your design and modified it a bit for me. My mainhall is 6x11 and I used the thatch roof o-corner 45° above your thatch scematic to steer the smoke in my 1x1x2 chimney :D. I also lifted the middle part of the building with an additional wood pole 1m to have usable room with a balcony for scouting enemys =).

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

cool :) sounds good. Glad you liked the build 👍

[@hehehhe5461]

thank you so much for not skipping the steps u took as it makes it much easier to copy then modify when we have a better understanding of the game

[@gotyam]

A tip (someone probablhave thaty said it already): Smoke does gather under a sealed roof, but only to a certain extent. A building large enough/tall enough will only have a layer of smoke at the ceiling, leaving enough area for you to breathe and work. I've found around 2.5-3 wall's height is enough

[@TheGhettoGinger]

I used to build a lot of Nordic houses in minecraft but that's a little easier than this lol. As an avid builder in survival games I appreciate the tutorial. I built an Uppsala like long house but it wasn't sturdy. Appreciate the beams tutorial section a lot. Great vid man! I can't wait to start making content for this game to lol

[@RaZeyLWindBladE]

Something to take note off: the horizontal beams that you can put on the floor will block your walking path so just connect the floor with the stairs to ensure a smooth entry 😉. Also, you can start with the 1m pole instead of the floor so that you can always have a sound ground floor structure. Absolutely love the fire pit in the middle of the structure, so cool.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks man, I have noticed that while living there more now :) Making a foundations structure from the 1 and 2m beams is a great idea, I noticed a picture where someone had done that I was just so used to placing foundations on other games :)

[@RaZeyLWindBladE]

@@ThePilgrimzProject np, I followed your idea for the viking longhouse but I used the beam method. It's tedious, but like I said, it's much more sound and allows you to frame up the foundation pieces much more easily. Next up, circular structures 😁

[@WOLFPARANORMALUK]

@@RaZeyLWindBladE yeah I wanna build a Saxon castle :P

[@maltehoffmann2914]

@@ThePilgrimzProject another tip from a fellow longhouse builder, you can snap ladders into the roof, which will act as another support, decoration, and allow you to access and repair things like the chimney and upper roof more easy

Yeah, I am just finishing the decor on a new Ark Mansion, decided to have another Quick go on Valheim and ended up playing until 3 in the morning 😁 Anything that keeps you occupied and can keep your attention is great 👍 I have Bipolar Disorder and a bunch of other issues, I am lucky if I can concentrate for 20 mins on anything but with gaming I can just drift away with it for hours. Also, having the KZbin channel is amazing I have been doing this for almost 3 years, I have never in my life stuck with something for so long.

I am stealing several ideas for my build :) thank you for all the wonderful designs you have put out in ARK and now Valheim.

@@ThePilgrimzProject You probably get to the point where you know how mining works in this game. Unfortunately, we can't make holes in the ground to make mines. You only mine what is on the surface or you uncover what is underneath. But you can't "have the ground above your head" is probably the best description I can think of. Edit: I found your video with "Cave House" where you used ore deposit as a ceiling for your cave. That is really good idea :-)

[@vikingroofer]

I love your videos and your creative way. My house isn't finished yet, but it's almost the same size. The front and the end are almost the same, only my house is curved like a half moon and rounded at the ends. The physical aspect of the game is great, and wood can come under too much pressure and collapse, as well as being affected by rain. I am a roofer in real life. This knowledge helps immensely in the execution of roof trusses and auxiliary structures. Keep it up .... Greetings from Germany

If you connect the 2m poles directly to the ground and then attach the floor tiles to the poles, you wont need the 45 degree supports to hold up your walls. Alternatively, with the 45 degree supports, you don't need the 2m poles. Great video, dude! Thanks! Also, I love the build. Kudos to you, friend.

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

Thanks for the tips man :) I am starting to understand it more now, working on a big wooden framed mead hall using more of the core wood poles and beams

[@fireballgaming6375]

Credits for this Long House, also for this video. I like to give you a suggestion for house building: Use the 1/2 wooden walls as a foundation-"frame" (imagine it like an actuak frame that you place on the ground) fill that "frame" with the wooden floors, it will stay stable and you don't have to worry to use pillars beneath the floor to make a solit and stable cunstruction. I also managed to build a similar long house with less effort, also with a similar chimney and the roof didn't colapse. My chimney is just 2 pieces long and my fire place inside is 2x4. Smoke still isn't an issue even if it's ab it smokey arround the fire place.

[@GabriellaGracexo]

Thank you! Took me a lot of hours but it was well worth it

[@coreyg7364]

You do not need an opening at the top of the base for smoke to escape. As long as the roof is high enough the smoke will not reach the bottom flor. True to life, the smoke slowly seeps through the thatch which helps retain heat and allow the smoke to escape rapidly enough to not build up in the lower levels of the building. There are places where you can still find buried thatch used for roofs from over 1300 years ago and its still in tact because of the tar coating it from all the smoke it was exposed to.

followed your guide in vid Was a little lost sometimes but the power of youtube a simple rewind and rewatch sorted that A small tip the Overhangs if you use 45 degree roof and snap it to the initial 45 beamed roof you avoid having it poke in to the house and get the overhang effect you want

[@darkdeath5550]

another thing to note, if you set up pillars at intervals of about 5 or 6, it can support it so long as it gets placed, it helps especially when doing roofing as that eats up wood.

[@nolongermatters4671]

I followed this build today, new player to the game, so for those that want to copy this, firstly watch all the video first as the channel creator pilgrimz project changes his build quite a few times, so dont follow and build along "live" like I did ...... secondly, almost all of the structural integrity is just not necessary, the game doesnt deal with real physics like this video builds for, it DOES HAVE structural integrity, but long story short, 4 blocks away from anything good, more is bad, do look into this, as I dont want to be responsible, but you do not need as much structural protection as this build describes, also, the chimney does not have to be so complicated, just put it on the side of your house instead and use logic to funnel it, or, put it where this build says and funnel it with walls instead of the method described. Having said this, I built whilst watching/pausing this video and my build is 85 percent the same and this channel did save me a ton of work planning it myself, so my advice is absolutely use this, it looks geat and realistic, just bear in mind that a lot of the structural stuff isnt needed, (I did it anywaybecause it looks good) Finally, I did NOT have the resources prepared, I started with nothing, it took me about 7 real life hours of cutting trees in the day, building, watching each step of the video, sleeping at night as a new player to the game, who had just beaten the first boss, just to give some context.

chimney seems to be offset by one space making the smoke pool more than needed. also beams seem to block smoke a lot so keep that in mind when making chimneys

Yeah :) I didn't realise until later. I wanted that step up from the lower roof and it came right over the pit. I think the roofs inside helped to direct the smoke a bit

First recipe we learn, stacked wood, and stacked stone. Yet I seen streamers carrying 40 stone, and 53 wood All the Time. I make small bases, but mostly I see 3x3 bases, and no hoe, until the base is done.

How much wood is a metric fuckton? I need to know for scie tific purposes

[@KonFess]

@@tommyroark1368 1.000 Kg = 1,0 Fuqton

[@WeiderMystic]

@@tommyroark1368 1 metric fuckton is approximately 2.2 fucktons

[@matejbradac5412]

yoink, my build now. Awesome job man! Make more of those, so i can copy some more :D

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

lol 😁 will do, I am working on unlocking everything

[@AltinsGaming]

Well done and SUPER helpful understanding the building mechanics in this game!

If you use half-walls as foundational structure, it's far easier to place support, as you can snap it to the side of the already placed bits, instead of trying to attach to the bottom which you can't see. For most buildings the exterior perimeter alone is enough to hold everything up. I have a very large build where the underside of the entire floor is fully latticed in a grid of half walls, which adds a lot of structural integrity for those big builds. I was kinda biting my nails over whether you'd be able to finish the roof in terms of structural integrity. Also, the ground smoothing of the hoe is relative to your character elevation when you click it. So you can leverage where you stand to get ground to smooth up or down.

PS: I like to use more thoroughly enclosed chimneys to control the smoke flow. But I really like your use of the angled corner roof pieces to make a smoke-exit steeple, very stylish. And awesome tip on the wind vs. deer. I had thought the wind direction was only useful for navigation at sea.

Add some texture to the walls with 2m planks placed at right angles to the walls at the intersections. Fitting ladders under the thatch really takes the flatness away from the underlying texture.

That was Impresiv, good job. :D

[@Brotherdot]

Holy smokes! This is amazing! Thanks for sharing. :)

[@ThePilgrimzProject]

YW glad you like it :)

[@TheCanadianDude]

With this game I find I'm way more interested in the building than the boss fights.

[@apex1568]

Wicked build. I though my build was good till i saw this, nice job. deffo gonna take inspiration for my next build.

40:40 it seems like they changed the design of the 26-degree thatch roof since this video was released. The middle pillar of it is thicker than the corner piece. Makes it not look well together. I also noticed they changed some ways that roofs connect to beams because they weren't snapping to the side of the beams in the ceiling. Not sure why they changed that but oh well.
