Valheim - Useful BUILD TIPS + Tricks + Ideas!

[@Joseph_006]

That spiral staircase using beams is a good way to burn an entire day off lmao

[@SchmokinJoe]

I was thinking the same thing

[@sirmounted8499]

it is, I tried it and wasted so much time on it and it just looked wonky so I deleted it

[@DdaengEli]

I think I'll work on one to avoid goin out in the the rain lol

[@dkcon8985]

It only takes like 30 min once you get the hang of it

[@louis-etiennebelangergagno5514]

Not anymore!

[@mediandirt]

When mining, at 3:34, just push into the wall and don't move. Then mine twice. Then push forward into the wall and repeat. This makes it perfectly straight. The first hit slightly ramps up and the second hit brings it down. Then just continue forward.

[@aimilios439]

That's what I've come to too.

[@dominic.h.3363]

If you can't level the ground to your feet then you either have too much or too little elevation. If you have it lower no matter how many times you click, raise the ground, then flatten it, if there is always a bit left over, hit it once with the pickaxe, then use flatten ground and it will always be perfectly flat, exactly at the level of your feet.

[@Mad-Lad-Chad]

I’m surprised this isn’t common knowledge by now. This is a great tip for beginners!

[@dominic.h.3363]

@@Mad-Lad-Chad I kinda thought it was common sense, because it's an assumption I jumped on fairly quickly - and it's me who we're talking about, I suck at games - as soon as I saw that elevations too high or low aren't leveled out by the flattening tool. I always use the pickaxe and the raise tools first to even out the terrain before I level it.

[@steveblais3583]

The explanation on leveling ground was so helpful. Never picked up on that!

[@chriscupo1288]

You can stack stone on top of wood floors. You just need to support it properly, that's how I build stone bridges. And you can kinda hide logs inside on the stone to help.

[@ThePackman627]

How do you do that? with iron beams?

[@UMCorian]

Meanwhile, the Raven be in every shot: "Am I a joke to you?" Great content btw.

[@Robin-sf3gk]

Nevermore…

[@inspectorsteve2287]

Dig a trench all around your base to get less raids. I built a trench and I've only gotten 2 raids with bats. That's it. Not sure why but a trench helps a lot.

[@vlchk]

There's a far easier way to build overhangs: place a floor tile, next, place another on over the farther half of the first one, it will rest over the first one, and then point your cursor to the further half (or a bit beyond) of the second (upper) floor tile. Your 3rd floortile will snap to the outer edge of the first tile. Also: shift-click with a hoe "smoothens" ground in the clicked spot and ignores your feet level. Nice for making those smooth paths up-/down-hill

[@flatkjeks]

When building overhangs the easiest way is to just place another floor outward, halfway over the first, then move the cursor just over the edge of the overlapping floor. It will then snap right onto the floor underneath it. :) Very useful when building over water too!

[@sha46327]

Come for the content, stay for the Dad jokes - well done!! XD

[@newbiesama]

12:50 I did not know a item would not be destroyed by decay. I kept repairing my wood floors in the rain when i was buildign my new building

[@Lisselle.]

Dad jokes are awesome. Learning about building in Valheim is an incidental bonus! Thank you. :)

[@xenoserum]

Beehives count as roofs too I made a full roof that had beehives on top

[@Nathan_Coley]

Good to know

[@ankushnothere]

Do you mute your game when you go inside your house or where you built beehive as a roof...?

[@xenoserum]

@@ankushnothere usually my roof is on the 3rd floor so don't hear it too much

[@ankushnothere]

@@xenoserum Damn, Bob the builder...

[@Bluebird_Bum]

The roof is happy

[@the_2econd_son562]

With round houses you can use beehives as a round roof

[@SaberInferno]

1:34 - My man hitting me with that real good advice

[@Mccaid]

On that circle roof, I wonder if you could use a beehive for the small center piece?

[@mitrimind1027]

I bet it would and it counts beehives also blocks rain just like a roof funny enough.

[@gameriltsforever1093]

another tip is to put the spiked walls on top of gates to stop the decay

[@conniee.]

At 6:12, you said to place wood flooring on the campfire inside ur base, why? It's perfectly fine without doing that. In fact, to me, it looks better to just have it on the stone flooring since it's a fire. I liked the windows using the iron gates, now will those keep the skeetos out if ur in the plains?😄

[@dancidchen]

Useful info delivered loud and clear and straight to the point, another helpful vid

Didn't know stone connects to trees! That's very helpful for my upcoming treehouse thanks!

[@JayKayX71]

Watch out for trolls...

[@sojones7519]

@@JayKayX71 Always a concern haha

[@MikoKudou]

actually, i've found a way w/ that 3rd type of stairs if you use a vertical wood pole (the ones using the core wood) use the largest one (or multple smaller ones depending on how high you want to make it) then take the smaller horizontal pole and stack them rotating one click all the way up, then starting at the bottom pole take your stairs and make sure they snap at the top as far to the edge of the horizontal pole, and rotate the stair to match the second on up, and so on and so forth till you have the spiral stair up as far as you want.

[@scoldingtitan3651]

I like the little wraith/skeleton decoration hehe it’s cute

[@gregoryquint7653]

Very nice tips. I love the circle building top with the Cross in the center!

[@NeonSign69]

Spiral stair case looks great. Will be looking to include that in my house.

[@EslaDAce]

can you do farm design/layout? haven't found anything good in any videos :D

[@gund2281]

12:09 Huginn coming to check on your progress. You couldn't have PLANNED that any better lol.

[@williamcrowley5506]

I go strait up to the wall and swing the pick three times. No guess work on the distance. First takes wall directly in front. Second right behind, and third removes the rise.

[@boomdelted]

Enjoyed the stream missed the next one but man I am happy I got more to watch here 😊

[@Callahan1]

Regarding the elevated campfire-You can place stone floors on top of iron pillars I believe. Something I saw in another video.

[@JustTinksVlog]

Love the lattice fencing!! 💚

[@darkspartan6666]

AAGGGHHH that base looks so cool!

[@Arokhantos]

Put a half beam upward down first to snap a wall into the ground for support, if you cant snap something under try sitting first before trying to snap.

[@sabbiosaurus101]

The building tips are amazing, but I'm subbing for more dad jokes. haha!~

[@MarkWithoutName]

1:20 I actually thought of that as well, and a friend of mine freaked out about it since you could see it through a small window

[@j.andrino4643]

Using trees is soooo outdated. If you use iron poles and cover them with normal wood poles, firstly you can build as high as you want as long as you protect your structure from rain damage. And I mean, as high as you want, you can literally reach Yggdrasil this way. And secondly, you can place stone wherever you want because they still count as iron poles, so you can place a fire at any height. Rain damage can actually destroy your structures if they're on the very edge of their stability. It doesn't damage them below 50% HP but it does lower the effective stability of decayed pieces. It's a very small decrease but it's enough if you're struggling with stability. Fortunately, any roof piece will do the job when it comes to protect your buildings. That means not only actual roofs, but also 26° and 45° poles, crosses and gables. This way you can protect your railings and walls (no alternative for floors by now)

[@thomasrutherford8421]

[@KurouAkuma]

The 3rd type of stairs is the only one I knew how to make... Is it possible to construct the "compact spiral" with core wood poles for increased height?

[@dylansullivan5659]

You can auto place a tile on a overhang by putting one at the half way then the next one will snap under that, lining up into place.

[@eliasgrav9894]

Like your building tips. I tried to build circles in Valheim for a while and couldn't make it look good might try what you proposed in a Video. And for the Staircase, the Beam version is BRILLIANT never have thought of that, deffinetly gonna make those in my house. Liked the dad Jokes segment too :3, It was a surprise for sure, but a wellcome one!

[@cristian-e3d6m]

Add a railing to the inside edge of your spiral staircase, it will funnel people away from getting caught.

[@leudwigvonshwartsenhelm3624]

I killed my troll near the starting area last night. He seemed to get stuck in the water. He’s killed me several times, so I put a bunch of arrows in his face. No I feel guilty. Will he respawn?

[@dip_sarkar_]

He will

[@ahmataevo]

Shooting trolls with the bow is generally the best way to fight them, preferably with no other mobs nearby. You should farm them to make troll armor and save up gold for the trader.

[@kdpflush]

Will the meat still smoke if you let the fire go out before placing the meat?

[@krampusklaws2238]

the smoke effect only starts if the meat is put on over a lit fire.

[@Touay.]

perhaps consider planting pine trees as your major structure before starting a build. plant them where you want the main posts to be and attach your structure to it. use pine trees as they have a largely bare truck going up quite high.

[@krampusklaws2238]

Until a troll comes along and smashes your tree lol. Bye by house.

[@Touay.]

@@krampusklaws2238 if you are going to avoid building because you have insufficient troll defenses, maybe consider ... i dunno, building troll defenses.

Or you can also stop abusing tree stability and reach great heights by your architect skills and not by a failure in the stability system, you know... I already hear 3M players crying when The Iron Gate fixes tree/rock abusing...
