Valheim: How To Build Storage House & Storage System (Build Guide)

[@ZerosterGuides]

Hey, something somewhat rare from me, I dont often do build videos but I really wanted to try my hand at it with valheim, and I needed a storage shed for all the trophies and hide I was gathering in my house, So I figured why not, I built this storage shed on the pixel defects server at one point and liked it. I hope you enjoy the video, and thank you for watching. also would you guys preffer I show all the box placing or was cutting out that part good to move on the video? or should I have cut more out of that section. Not sure on it myself so thought I would ssk you all for your opinion on it for next time.

[@saragyllenberg8620]

Cutting it was fine :) Only feedback I would give is to only record when it's day time, the darker parts were hard to see. Nice to see building videos from someone who's not in creative mode! Will attempt to make this later!

[@Siks7Ate9]

1 tip I can give is to fill in the roof later, makes it easier to watch what your placing in terms of light level ( I am watching on phone atm in a train donno how good the lighting will be behind a regular monitor). Edit wasn't done watching yet, 10 seconds later you place torches. My bad. Other then that great building tutoria!l I love that you show what your gonna build next so if you already know how to place it you can skip forward. The speed of building is also great not to fast not to slow. Nice job and great design 👍 in terms of the chest placements this was fine:)

[@ZerosterGuides]

@@Siks7Ate9 Ile definitely do this next time, I did worry the light wouldnt be bright enough at the time. thinking of making the riverwood blacksmith from skyrim in valheim, saw a cool post on reddit and I want to try it myself aswell

[@drummyt7166]

You did fine. I personally don’t need to see the embellishments unless you want to show an interesting technique or ‘perfect spot’ for something. Show us a final shot after embellishments but we can decorate on our own :)

[@ZerosterGuides]

@ToxicBox Gaming im pretty much the same, but those boxes in my main house filled up pretty quickly, so i needed somewhere to store the extra resources.

[@hectorcornejo1468]

I really like that you detailed what you were doing during your build. Ive watched like five videos today on building to spark the imagination and you were the only one whom broke down what you were up to. Thanks for that.

[@codysheffield4469]

This build solved my crew's storage problems. I just wanted to come and say thank you for this video and sharing your build, and also doing it in a way that made it easy to follow. SO MANY build videos just speed through and don't show what was done, but not this one. Again, thanks!

[@dimistepa]

A cool thing you should do is sleep when it's night doing these videos, so we can see better what you are building.

[@petemunson1]

I agree

[@MidgardGamesTV]

It has become a Valheim pet peeve of mine.

[@Joshua-re8gd]

[@davidg7960]

Would like to see more of the bonfire structure you've got there in the background.

Make more of these type off videos please I would love to come back for more

[@jianken4892]

[@beast-hu9by]

Agreed

[@ZerosterGuides]

Im hoping to have another one out later today. this time it will be a blacksmithing building.

[@GClermont]

Totally!

[@rucerius4968]

Great build video, the only changes I would make is to put gates on both ends instead of a single door. That way you can pull a cartthrough for easy unloading.

[@parkerdent3936]

Hi everyone, going through and building a few of these and thought I'd leave this in case it'd be helpful: This build costs approx. 1155 Wood, 8 Resin, and 12 coal! Thanks so much for making this!

[@aphrospice]

Music reminds me of Diablo 2, love it and this build.

[@bryguy9512]

THANK YOU - I was wracking my brain trying to recall what the music reminded me of. OMG Thank You :)

[@piratekit3941]

While I did something very like that in my first build attempt, I realized I have no 'fancy' bone in my body, the 45/25 angle beams as decorations in the background house blew my mind. A world of building with extra pieces that have no support value has been opened to me!

[@ZerosterGuides]

This is the reason why I love watching build videos myself, to me its less about the specific build but more about the inspiration and the tricks you pick up from seeing someone else put things together, when I played a survival game called Grounded I watched a youtuber called the pilgrim project, I found out so many things I could do from him.

[@darthimperius2865]

Even as a solo player this has been a great help thank you

[@sourkoyote]

This game is proof that if we all knew how to use tools, & had access to free lumber, we’d all have unique looking houses instead of the cookie cutter ones we have

[@KookyKay82]

Think I was able to make note of all the signs: • wood • stones • ores • bars • hide • craft drops • mob drops • mob drops • trophies • treasure • food meats • food plants What exactly would be "craft drops"? Would that be things like old weapons and armor you no longer use and just set aside? Frankly, I absolutely love this - it's sometimes easy to forget where things are stored and stops the never ending problem of "My stone box is full and now I gotta reorganize yet again!" Good for future-proofing. Edited to add - I also appreciate that this can be done in early game before even tackling the first boss. It's hard watching some fantastic builds and realizing you don't have the stuff to get to the next thing. The only thing for me is I would eventually move the food storage into a small pantry room in a main house with a kitchen.

[@ZerosterGuides]

those are indeed what all the signs say, Craft drops I think of as things like wolf fangs, ooze, things I use often from mob drops and want in a separate container. also, I tend to use the storehouse as extra food storage and use a sort of kitchen storage myself as well. so we have similar preferences there.

[@LurifaxDK]

More build videos please. You do a really good job of explaining what needs to be done.

[@ytubestolemyhandle]

I wish we could edit a name for any chest - so it would show up when you mouseover it. Because while this form of storage is pretty well organized, it doesn't exactly look good. And when placing chests to make rooms in actual houses look good, you get disorganized chaos and keep forgetting where you put stuff. Thank god for automatic pulling of items from chests from ValheimPlus - I can't even imagine these days how I survived without it.

[@lynnwelch6223]

I liked this so much I made one just like (almost) it at my home. Very nice and easy to follow.

[@Indiana_Jonesy]

This is freaking stellar. Thank you for both the well-commented build, and for keeping it accessible to early gamers :)

[@xoGetCarteRox]

main inspiration i got from this video was that awesome bonfire structure at the back XD; building that tonight!

[@ArcAngelAlice]

I messed around and found that if you remove the bottom shelves and the upper 1x1 wood floors, you can fit 3 Reinforced Chests per section (2 an the bottom an 1 on the upper shelf) giving you 72 slots instead of 50 slots with the regular chests. A nice upgrade for later in the game.

[@waifu_enjoyer]

This is very satisfying to watch

[@AllCharlie]

simple, basic but useful, works perfect for me tyty.

[@SireFOSS]

Thank you so much for using in videos timestamps!

[@TomSilver_42]

Nice and simple design. Well done. (I'd suggest to play a bit with lighting as some scenes were a bit too dark. But I understand that it takes some time to build and day is short.)

[@BabylonPhonetics_11]

If you build your main base on top of beam supports you will be able to dig a storage cellar under it as well

[@starbreeze7249]

That's a fine looking storage house. WHY DOESN'T MINE LOOK LIKE THAT

[@TheGOLDProductionz]

LE GRILL??

[@kdmillar]

Thanks for the great build video. I decided I wanted something a bit bigger so I built a 2-story based on your design on an 7x8 grid. It has 176 10-slot chests for a total of 1760 inventory slots.

[@tofufication]

I wasn't able to place the top chest no matter how I tried :( I wish I could have you walk me through the process haha! Another excellent build, practically every single build I have in my world was done following your tutorials!

[@SilverShine24]

Thank you so much for this! Any game that I play which has building elements I always just end up with a sad box shape. Your videos are great with explaining what needs to be done. Can you start adding how much wood/stone you use for the whole build in future videos. Edit: Also a playlist with all of your build guides please.

[@abbynormall207]

Nice storage house!

[@timallen3674]

Thank you so much, me and my wife have been having alot of storage issues. Soo much nicer than stacking boxes in my house

[@buglady2254]

This is a very good step by step tutorial.

[@miniblasan5717]

Incredibly well done! I will copy your build because I really need a shed/barn to store everything and this is exactly what I am looking for. Edit: I have built a copy of your building but instead of having a door I continued to expand another 5 floors forward so that I could have a long house while leaving the middle roof part on 1m wooden foundations so that the smoke can disappear without harming my character.

[@MrLucasGAN]

Hope they add wall painting to further customize your house

[@zarakikon6352]

Just finished my storage room, based on yours. Except mine is made mostly of stone and partly in the ground. And I've added some Reinforced chests too. Thanks for showing me this :D.

[@tylerharoldson6952]

Definitely building this tomorrow. Looks good and great storage with efficiency love it !

[@CaughtByYourself]

"if the ground isn't level enough, place other beams" you can always level the ground perfectly. you just have to use the indicators correctly, the bar in the middle shows you exactly where it will be leveled to (usually your feet, if you don't press the shift modifier) with that you can always create a perfectly flat area.

[@siskavard]

Very cool & practical design, gonna make one of these in my world for sure

[@dawn1279]

protip: place the signs next to the chest and hide it with a banner. when you set the name of the chest, hit spacebar a couple of times so the text moves infront of the chest :D then you can simply click of the text and open a chest

[@ralfsiteur3741]

Thanx for sharing with is . Much appreciated

[@Emrod82]

I sadly cannot merge the front walls correctly to make the door entrance like cool as you do though ): Otherwise, thanks for the video !

[@bobemmerson1580]

Personally I'd replace the single door with a double gate, so that you can roll a cart inside when transporting lots of heavy materials.

[@adamm3790]

A wonderful video through and through. Your knowledge of the game and your ability to edit your vids, makes your channel an easy subscribe. Thank you for putting in the work and making this video. My building in this game improved dramatically thanks to you =)

[@amysvlogs2211]

I am just finishing up my storage building. Great idea. 👍

[@Korsheth]

this was oddly satisfying, thanks

[@douglashenschel]

Hey man, thank you so much for this video. I'm working on the aesthetics of my buildings and this helps a lot. I'm gonna make a request, that you don't record do late at night. Maybe it's my monitor, but it's kinda hard to see. If you could go to sleep and continue recording the next day, or maybe just a mod to lock the daylight, that would help me a lot. Thanks!

[@ZerosterGuides]

iv started doing just that in the newer build videos, I didn't think this would become as popular as it did, so I didn't think to re-record that part. but my new build videos I will only record during the day

[@douglashenschel]

@@ZerosterGuides that's great to hear, and thanks for the reply!

Lovely. Good job. Also thanks for being really clear on the size with your visual.

[@bearbombastic4200]

They should add some costum textures like they did with the shield. So you can have decorated beams

[@ZerosterGuides]

that would be something I would really like, in their road map they did say something about adding more things to the building system, (atleast thats what a friend told me) so im looking forward to that. but I still havent killed the fourth boss yet, so iv still got a bunch of content to do.

[@SamLopeZz]

There's absolutely no need to repair stacks of wood before breaking em up

[@Ancestralsword8]

make one for reinforced chests, like a late game storage house

[@James_Bee]

Nice building, however, storage is better underground (IMO) just in case an attack goes wrong. I like to dig a hole, build storage and then plop a building on top.

[@ronaldvanzon7163]

Subscribed simply because you didn't do it in creative mode. ;-) And of course because I like the design.

Really well done building plan. I'll use this tonight as our group is needing a lot more storage. Love this one over others I have seen. Only thing I would add in future.. when night comes... wait to continue, a little hard to follow the supports part as it was night. Otherwise great video!

[@PapaDeusVult]

Hi there, Zeroster. I've been playing Valheim with my friends recently and we look at your videos every so often for building inspiration. What I discovered in the process was that the cubby-hole concept I've been using (which I saw in a video a while back) was actually yours-specifically the sort used in this video. What are the odds, huh? Hahaha. Also-and I hope it's not inappropriate to ask-what is that backing track you've so far used in this video and all your others? I've been trying to find it, to no avail. I hope you can help, or at least tell me it's personal music, so it's off-limits. Thanks in advance, and for the cubby-hole idea I've been using since before now

[@ZerosterGuides]

Hey, the music is the song played in the plains biome in Valheim, so you will most likely find it pretty soon in the game. "Valheim Plains Biome OST" is probably the fastest way to find it if searching for it. Also, that is kinda interesting, I haven't heard of the cubby hole concept, but the name alone does sound very similar to my ideal base. I often like to build very small, so I can reach everything fast. as well it does make building a base in a server or new area a little faster for me.

[@Cameronj813]

Great video. I feel like this is a silent hill main menu song. Awesome build!

[@ZerosterGuides]

thanks :P also if your curious what song was playing it was the song from the plains biome

[@Cameronj813]

@@ZerosterGuides makes sense considering that biome is a nightmare haha.

[@ZerosterGuides]

@@Cameronj813 yeah, when me and the group I play with where going through this together, 2 people ended up getting iron armour very quickly and went to the plains, they ended up dieing to some deathsquito's and losing the armour (they got it back in the end) but from that point everyone was super careful in the plains.

[@thedon_ofteflon4503]

The section for stone I feel is a waste of space if you can just easily make stone stacks outside the shed or wherever you wish to put it. As far as wood goes, that section is only beneficial towards core wood and fine wood. Regular wood, again, you can just create stacks of and place them neatly in an area of your base. I ended up making a shed myself specifically for regular wood and stone, but regardless of that this video could prove useful to me only just make a shed smaller than the one you showed and separate to the one I already have. Idk I might need to re-evaluate my storage now lol
