Valheim | 10 Additions that will Transform your STONE & CORE WOOD House into a Beautiful Home!
Vložit
- čas přidán 2. 08. 2024
- In this video, I walk through 10 additions you can make to any Valheim stone, core wood & dark wood house to make it feel more complete and give it more character. To showcase these steps in the clearest way possible, I show 11 different versions of the same house, each with 1 new improvement added on.
This video is intended to be part 2 of my last “10 Additions” video, which used only basic wood. That video can be found here: • Valheim | 10 EASY Wood...
Because you all asked for it, this video focuses on a house using 3 more advanced materials: stone, core wood, and dark wood!

You have so quickly become one of the best instructional builders for ANY sandbox game, as a lot of these tips translate to making beautiful builds in a variety of games (Conan exiles is another one that comes to mind that has an amazing building system) i truly hope you get massive exposure because youre on another level i havent seen anyone come close to, you have a way of translating your thought process into words and visual descriptions very well, wish you all the success! Black marble next? :D
Holy shit (pardon my French...) thank you SO much for taking the time to say such a nice thing. I can't express how much it means to me to hear that. Thank you. A lot of time and work goes into one of these builds + vids (I didn't count, but I'd estimate probably 120 hours), and the entire time I question if the vid is something that ANYONE will find worth watching. Pressing that "publish" button at the end is nerve-wracking! It's silly, but coming here and reading a comment like yours instantly washes most of that anxiety away and makes all the effort feel worthwhile. Thank you again. ❤
And yes, black marble is the obvious next step :D I need a slight break from it, though, after my massive initial Mistlands build (czcams.com/video/AFwCxt1WENI/video.html), so I think next up is to make a few vids on some of my other builds that already exist. Maybe similar commentary companion vids to my build showcase videos where I can talk about some of the design decisions, details and techniques that went into the build. Not completely sure yet. Anyway, stay tuned!
Hey bro! on what you said, if you're interested, @Sivarret is one amazing creator deep construction insights and a good "chat" xd, hypnotizing to watch! He's a must check ;)
Incredible job dude, I didn't even notice the full hour that just passed, perfect background music choice and perfectly explaining everything, and that build... that's just beautiful, you deserve every single bit of view you get.
Thank you, Marcell! I definitely feared the video will be too long for most people to watch, but hoped breaking it down into chapters makes it more accessible. I fully expect viewers to skip around to see if it's going anywhere before determining if it's worth continuing to watch (by it's nature, an evolving build starts slowly.) I'm really pleased and grateful to hear you watched the whole thing and the experience was smooth 😊
I'm especially thankful for the philosophical interlude after Level 4, because I was really wondering, whether you're planning your projects out or not. I'm really not into planning at all. For the most part I don't even build from scratch. I mostly find a nice ruin with a pretty view and start renovating.
Thanks! I’m glad someone appreciated that bit! For sure, no matter how much I try planning in advance, it’s almost pointless for me. It’s always just a process of iterating and trying out different ideas as they arise.
Side note: I’m getting ready to try to go a few real life landscaping projects this summer and I have no idea how I’m going to accomplish it if I can’t just try things and undo them when they don’t work lol
your video about 10 easy wooden additions immediately became my favorite to reference when I build in valheim. Im not creative and before I found your channel my valheim bases were always just one huge box with squares for windows with uneven and ugly roof, but thanks to you I understood how to work with the build items and I am no longer ashamed to let my co op friends visit my base :D thank you so much, your videos are really helpful and easy to understand even for noobs like me. you deserve so much more views!
I started playing not long ago so this is perfect timing. I love building in games and never really plan ahead, just wing it as I go. There are great tips in here. Dimension and detailing adds so much more beauty and immersion to a build. The bonus of landscape is also a wonderful addition quite often overlooked. Great job and thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks so much, Winter Steale
I am glad you quoted Bob Ross because the whole time through I was thinking of him and also "this old house." super inspirational and educational, and a pleasure to watch.
:D He's genuinely my inspiration for the mood and message I'm going for, so I'm super glad that's coming through!
It’s rare to find someone with raw talent that perfects finishing touches on display here. I’ve spent an evening just toying with tips from these videos and I’m amazed how many small details I missed that absolutely nail home design. As someone who appreciates home decor and design, it’s refreshing to see a lot of ideas to consider in-game and out!
Aww thank you, that's so kind of you to say! I equally love when I see someone else appreciating those same fine details, so that really means a lot.
PS, JUST released my next video in the series if you have any interest checking it out :) Sorry for the late reply, I've been away from youtube and the comments for a couple weeks.
Man you are truly amazing! I thought it would be impossible for you to surpass your last video but I'm just shocked. I am just in love with these ideas, especially the staircase with access to the 1st floor or the basement. It just makes everything so cozy! You made me want to hop back into valheim again.
Aww gosh thanks so much for the nice comments! They made me smile :) Hope you do hop back into Valheim!
I'm enjoying your Valheim content so much, it's a perfect mix of learning new things even after playing for a while, and having a soothing experience:) I'd absolutely love a docks building tips video like this one, as a fellow dock enthusiast. Thank you for these!
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! That dock tip video is actually an EXCELLENT idea I hadn't considered before! I actually shot footage of me showing how to build a few other aspects of this dock, but I think I ultimately did not include it (let's be honest, my hour long video was already a bit much 😜). I was really trying to speed through at the end. But I can definitely think of a few good levels and upgrades to docks, so I just might do that!
@@Homitu That makes me happy! Super excited:)
Perfect timing, I'm starting a stone house build !
This is such a chill video! And the fact alone that you did this in several levels/stages that in fact all stand next to each other on the coast. So well done man. Good stuff, new sub!~
Woot glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate the feedback ❤️
Idk what to say except your content and techniques, the way your videos teach with their in depth explanations using words from proper architecture so I could Google it later for reference? Just awesome, it all rocks. You rock. Keep up the amazing work as long as you enjoy it ❤
Woot! So glad you enjoyed it, Saint! Cheers
Very impressive video, thank you! I have been playing since early access began, and learned a few things here. I just love how you simply added on things and just kept going until the build felt right to you. Landscaping tips were useful too. I really appreciate you taking the time to produce this!
Man I don't often comment on youtube videos but I just really have to tell you that this video is phenomenal. I could sit here and listen to you explain everything for hours. You have an incredibly relaxing voice and the way you explain your steps is really easy to follow. Keep up the great work my guy, I hope you have excellent luck with what you do!
What an amazing build it turned into!! Great video, now I’m off to build myself!
This whole video is absolutely beautiful. From the background music to your presentation and step by step style, not to mention the stunning build itself. Subscribed and looking forward to more from you bud.
Really great tips, and I appreciate you went through the different materials. People still want to have nice bases even if we aren't in the end game biomes yet.
I love how you take the time to walk us through the thought process behind the different design ideas. It helps to understand where you were coming from for each idea so as to see the WHY behind each design, instead of just the HOW. Great vid and gladly received my sub.
It can be tricky to do in this game, but making the chimney the tallest piece is a great way to make a building have a more real feel. I love all your details!
For sure! I've done that with a few other builds. (I did that in my all basic wood part 1 version of this video, for example.) For this particular build, however, it just didn't feel quite right.
I love how you show each additional part as a complete new build. Thank you so much for your instructions and ideas.
I am gaining so much inspiration from this, thank you for your way of describing how you achieved your effect so others may be inspired to action in their own builds! in cooking, a recipe is only as good as it's instructions: even if you have the best ingredients, a poor recipe can make the cook feel bad. With an excellent recipe, a happy and inspired cook!
There's so much I can think of for my next few builds out of this, I'll be watching this and the Meadows video many times! [I have a poor memory but I'll see something new each time I see them too!]
Amazing! You truly are the Bob Ross of Valheim building.
Hi! I'm in love with that video. There I see 3 important things. Your incredible hability to explain easy what did you do, how good you are with the construction and the love that you put in the game. Continue doing that content!
You need more recognition, brother. Amazing work!
this, and the previous build transformation video, have done more to improve my building acumen than any other series of videos, very well done lad, very well done.
Wow so excited to hear you’re finding my videos useful! Makes it all worthwhile to me!
Again, lovely video, the way you structure it, with billboards next to the house and stuff, it makes your videos little worlds of their own
Thanks so much for the compliments! ❤
This is exactly the type of video I was looking for after tearing down my last base because it felt to simple. The extra space from the window sills jutting outward making a built in shelf is going to help so much.
Building in games is rarely my strong point, and watching this videos it makes me keenly aware of that. All that to say, this was so cool to see it develop and progress. Excellent video!!
Fabulous video, some great tips and I love seeing how the build evolves. I'm about to embark on a Plains build so I'm going to try some of these techniques. Thank you!
Best instructional videos out there. The format is just perfect.
Your last video helped me build an impressive lodge for my group. They think it looks good. I'm looking forward to using the tricks in this video.
This is a great video, thank you!
So much great advice and helpful tips. Your builds are fantastic!
Thanks - I really appreciate that!
It's just amazing, thank you
Wow. I'm one of those people who kinda has to wing everything when I'm building it, and it's great to see how you start with such a simple idea then build it out from there. Really inspiring. Thanks for the video!
I've watched this video many times man! Superb content throughout
Aww thanks so much man, that really means a lot!
Yessss, I love this. Just pure inspiration and small tips on "how to-"
Keep up the good work!
Please do more videos, this is incredible, I learned so much from you. Instant inspiration to log on and build something!
This video brings me satisfaction. You checked all the boxes in a building video. Even if it wasn't masterfully edited (which it is), the substance a lone is a template for ALL building games. Fan-fricken-tastic my man. Brilliant.
I think this was my fastest subscribe! Awesome and thanks!
So cool. I really like the step by step approach and teaching "fundamentals" and "strategies"
Really like the idea of different stiles of buildings
Your videos are great to watch. Omg the banner in the ground thing gave me a few ideas. That is a happy little accident indeed. Also your videos are not too long at all and you have a calming voice.
Great follow up I'm glad you did it :)
Thanks, I appreciate you taking the time to comment :)
Another great and informative video, I already enjoyed the first one a lot. Thank you so much for putting out this quality content. I am looking forward to more future content, big thumbs up !!!
Happy to hear that! Thanks for commenting and following along ❤
This was a fantastic follow on from the last video your an amazing builder
Amazing work. I really respect your approach!
Thank you! Cheers!
One of my favourite things to do in this game with hearths is to put it in a space outside the room walls, put a wood wall in the centre of it, and put glass in front of the fireplace which stays flush to the room walls giving it a faux fireplace look and feel. Frame it with some dark wood and a half wood wall hiding the stone part of the hearth adds to the illusion 🤩 gives such a cozy atmosphere
I love that you've positioned yourself as the Bob Ross of Valheim builds! I was a big fan of the predecessor to this video and made my friends watch it so our most recent survival base wouldn't just be ugly cube buildings. That video made us all into better builders. I'm really proud of the builds I made on my latest playthrough even though they're all absolute amateur hour compared to your and other creators' stuff.
I've been taking a break from Valheim for the last month or so, but was delighted to see this come up in my feed. Up until now I've exclusively played Valheim in survival mode with my friends (525 hours!) but have long-admired the incredible things people make in creative mode, so I think it's finally time to try my hand at that. I have to say, while I was typing this comment I got distracted and looked at your 100 hr Mistlands build and I am LOSING MY MIND. IT"S ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE and I can't even keep my composure. I want you to know I'm going to go download the mods you use and start my creative mode journey in earnest. Your videos have given me the final push I needed.
Keep making videos! Teach us how to make your Mistlands build! Cheers!
Great video, got myself a few ideas to use on my next builds, Keep up the good work and I look forward to the next videos.
Thanks ❤
Great video. I'm returning for ashlands and needed a little inspiration to kick start my building again. Between this video and the first, I'm in full swing and already getting compliments from the others on the server. Cheers!
Hell yeah! That makes me happy. Enjoy Ashlands!
Just recently discovered your channel and it was an instant subscribe! Excellent pieces, and your commentary is level and well delivered! Awesome dude!
Thanks so much! Really appreciate you saying that.
This is by far the most helpful and well thought out Valheim building video, i feel like i can now build whatever pops into my mind
Currently following along and building this for my survival world
Awesome. Just as good as the first one
the other one of this was the first video of yours I watched and I loved it thank's so much for these video's
This is absolutely fantastic. I have been on youtube since day one. I subscribed to maybe 5 pages, these days the algorithm provides what im interested in without the need of subscriptions. However, youre authenticity and your genuine joy of making content plus the fantastic format of your videos made me subscribe after 1 video. Keep it up friend. Thank you very much for your time! See ya on upload day!
Well damn, what an honor to earn the rare and prestigious sub of matti6764! Jokes aside, I truly appreciate that and you taking a moment out if your day to make such a kind comment! Here’s to hoping I can muster up some worthy future videos.
Cool video thanks!
Thank you SO much for the time and dedication it takes for your build videos. Truly a Content Creator!
This was an awesome video. I'd love to see some more content just like you mentioned: ideas for building a tudor or victorian home would be really cool.
I have a few hundred hours in valheim and I still love watching stuff like this
Thanks so much for watching til the end! It still blows my mind that people actually bother to get through a full hour of me rambling about building haha. Thanks for the feedback
I really wish you were still playing valheim and making these videos, because your videos are great! Thank you for posting these
Another absolutely amazing video Homitu! Sorry I'm so late, it took me a few days to finish your video (in pieces) but I finally finished! I've actually been trying to utilize a lot of your techniques in game BECAUSE *drumroll*... my friends came back!!! I had been turtling my way through the game in single player since Decemeber, when just last weekend one of my friends decides he wants to buy and play the game. Since he bought it, everyone decided they wanted to play too; then another one of my friends bought it as well. So we started a new server with 8 people strong! A week has past, and one dropped off completely, a couple play when needed, but there's still a good core group or 4-5 of us. (one of the newbies is absolutely obsessed with the game, he plays more than all of us!) But yea, just an update, anyway your video was amazing. I still think your pacing and your explanations were perfect, I didn't get confused with anything that you were doing! Keep up the great work!
Aww thanks so much! Glad to hear you got a good crew going!! Valheim together is one of the best gaming experiences I’ve had in 35 years of gaming. Have fun! Would love to see screenshots of things you guys build :)
Yea these vids& tips are great. demonstrates how creative you can rlly be. im playing with a couple friends and its their first time playing and i sent them both these vids! a ton of inspiration drawn from these vids
Aw man thanks for sharing with your friends! I'd love to see screenshots of what you guys build :)
Nice one mate.
This is awesome. I’m going to try build atleast lvl 3 today
Regarding chimneys: I often build a containment instead of a chimney. Functioning chimneys have to be bulky, due to the size of valheimian smoke 'particles'. But smoke can be contained, for example under stone stairs, or under a terrace. Sometimes results in a much cleaner look, especially with relatively small buildings.
With large buildings, chimneys definitely have their place, no doubt of that.
So great!
Another phenomenal video. I really enjoy these. I am currently working my way through your wood construction video and will start on this next. Also I will definitely be adding those mods you are using. Thank you!
NICE! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Would love to see you you end up building and which techniques you end up using :)
Damn, you are talented! Thanks for all the awesome ideas.
That Level 4/5 house is similar to something I've had in my head but not quite there yet and it's inspired me to do something similar. I can proper see that as a crafting house/blacksmiths house. Can't wait to get started see what I can come up with. I am new to building but loving it. Though I am not good and have no real method but I just build however I think looks good once the creativity finally starts flowing lol.
These must take u a while, I can only imagine. I questioned my sanity the other night as I spent about 4-5 hours just on a fireplace/kitchen area lol
I think patience is the name of the game when it comes to building really nice stuff. It does, indeed, all take me quite a while. A single "nice" house like this, plus all the landscaping and exterior "completion of the space" would generally take me 20-30 hours of iteration, building in creative mode. The video...takes me much longer lol. But as long as you're having fun throughout, that's all that matters :)
@@Homitu That's true, I keep saying "what am I doing? is this a waste of time?!" but then everything is really haha, so may as well enjoy it!
Has anyone ever told you that you are the Bob Ross of builders? LOL, I love watching your videos - but just don’t watch while in bed because it definately puts me to sleep :) OMG - right after I typed this you mentioned Bob Ross - so maybe you do know. :). Thank you so much for your videos.
Hahaha, several commenters had told me that and picked up on that before I "officially" adopted it as my thing! I grew up watching a ton of Bob Ross with my grandpa, which probably subconsciously influenced my approach to building in this game as well making an instructional video. It wasn't until my first big video where I decided that was the perfect angle to take that was a little different from what the other awesome builders out there were doing.
Break building down into basic parts, make it accessible, show that you, too, can build beautiful things! Join me on my journey as I create *my* build, where the focus isn't just on what I'm building, but on offering ideas and inspiration for you to use in your own awesome creations!
Anyway, thanks so much for watching and commenting! Since my voice apparently makes people sleepy, maybe I'll also start a subscriber perk where, for a fee, you can pick a book and I'll read you bedtime stories ;)
@@Homitu haha. Bedtime stories is a great idea. I do love your approach. My grandmother and grandfather were both artists and loved Bob Ross 😃
That is a beautiful monstrosity, well done.
Hahaha thanks!
I only just discovered Valheim a couple of months ago ... probably around the time your were creating this video. You do amazing work in your builds. I want to live IRL in this house. Keep up the awesome builds, very inspiring for us noobs to the game.
Aw thanks man! I'm sure you're out there killing it with your builds by now. I'm almost envious of you getting to experience it from the beginning! Those early days when you first encounter all the possibilities for the first time were mind-blowing to me. And just building simple things was so darn satisfying.
Sorry for the late reply, I try to get to all my comments but I've been away from CZcams for a couple weeks. I'm back now and actually just released my next video in this series if you're interested in checking it out: czcams.com/video/ycp1EM96g98/video.html
Cheers,
These are such awesome videos! The wood house tips video made my little town so beautiful! Can’t wait to try these out ❤ thanks for the help! Also I was wondering if you have any background in building irl? You’re sooo knowledgeable I love it!
Also maybe we could get a video dedicated to decorating 😜
Sweet mercy. I Guess I gotta go clear some more Tar Pits because you just gave me a half dozen new things to try out with dark wood trim.
your video blows up for guys like myself who are in their mid 30s who grew up watching bob Vila building show or the tim allen home improvement shows with their dads + that are also gamers ... so i see tips for building in valheim?? Haha double whammy brother . GREAT VIDEO. , keep up the solid work
Hahaha, we're a niche group, but there are enough of us out there apparently! Bonus nostalgia points for saying "double whammy!" Thanks 80s/90s brother!
NO WAY I'M WATCHING AN HOU- ...oh, it's finished already.
Great video man, gave me a lot of new ideas!
Hahaha thanks dude! That was my reaction as I saw in the video editor with everything trimmed as much as I could.. "Who the hell is going to watch an hour of this?"
No sir, thank you! You are incredible! Best channel on ytube.
To some people doing a lot of this is just 'hard' or 'work' but you make it so easily digestible that it feels like i need to do these things. I must become a better builder for no real reason and your videos make the information lure me into a trance that makes me better without realizing.
Aw damn man, thanks so much! Really appreciate the kind words! I'm sure you're killing it in the building department!
A Bob Ross / David Spade hybrid man just gave me an absolute masterclass in building. Great video dude.
Very nice. It would be great if the devs added a wood protecting varnish made from resin. Thanks so much for another amazing tutorial.
I like your content man..the builder u mentioned in your video is my favourite builder for valheim. I usually just copied and build his build in survival mode. Appreciate if u can do more tutorial builds. I think we will enjoy ur tutorial since you are so clear in instructions.
Edit: this one looks similar to the dock house he built and I love it. Appreciate if u can make a tutorial on it top. Ty
The stool trick was when I started playing and man I’m glad to get back into building again
Love it - Valheim is always so fun to return to after a long break. Enjoy!
This has helped me so much. I hope you'll do something for mistlands
There is a technique to build a big wooden pillar in the very center of a stone floor. You build a stone floor first, then place a wooden pole in the center by using 2x1m beems, then from that pole place 8 2m beams in s octagonal shape, then on the every end you place a wooden door with its corner perpendicularly so that it would slide into the beam on the half of the door’s width, then remove the beams from their position and place same beams on the same position, but so that they would touch the door, side, and not slide in. Then you take a wooden pole and try to place it on the end of those beams that close to the initial central pole. The new poles will slightly slide in and in the end , when all 8 poles are placed on the beams, they create an ideal wooden pilar, ideally centered on the stone floor.
awesome and absolutely beautiful! i wonder if i could send you a picture of the middle intersection of my long house that i dont know how to fill up for a tip or suggestion
Wow, what an awesome video. I really like the way you present each house. I really feel like I'm learning how to be a better builder!
I have a suggestion for the audio on your videos - the music getting suddenly loud on each title screen is disruptive to the overall vibe of the video. I think keeping it quiet would be a much better listening experience. Listening to you talk about building is basically ASMR at this point
Thanks so much! Absolutely noted on the audio. It's so strange because when I listen to it from the software program I use to edit, even after it's fully processed, it sounds totally fine (both with headphones and via speakers). But I totally agree that once uploaded to CZcams, it sounds too loud throughout, but those transitions are especially jarring. Noted for the future for sure!
I've been playing valheim for about 2 years now, today I learned what i-corner means.
wow lovely 🥰
Let me give you one Idea living of this one: Arched Bridges.
Have Arched Bridges connect Houses over a Street - even if it is just "seemingly" as it serves no purpose (aka will never be used).
Also, you can buiold the Corewood Logs on the inside of a Stone, having it overlap on the outside a bit.
This also allows for the Indise beeing "paneled" with Wood fineley, giving a lick and lean look you can work on from unbound from the outer looks.
I absolutely love your content! I've never used mods so thanks for explaining the ones you use. I'm curious if you actually play in this world or just enjoy the building aspect? I'd hate for an event to spawn and a couple of trolls show up and smash your beautiful home! That would be tragic.
Aw thanks man! This particular build was built in my world dedicated specifically to making these "10 steps" builds, so not in a world I was playing in for any progression purposes. These builds with 10 versions of the same house basically consume an entire south-facing coastline on a given continent :D So I just use the console command to explore the full map and pick out decent looking spots.
That said, these are exactly the kinds of buildings I do build in my survival worlds and shared servers! Trolls aren't that intimidating once you make friends with them. They might occasionally get one good swing on a building, but if you just run outside and walk away from your base, they follow and leave your stuff alone 😀
I'm way late; but you were looking for the word monochromatic. :-)
Great video BTW, I appreciate the combination of why and how, but the part that really knocks it out of the park is breaking it into separate stages/tips in addition.
Excellent video. I just watched your "regular wood" video and moved onto this one. Both were very professionally done and interesting!
Noob question for you > Are you in a build mode? How are you floating? When I build a roof I have to make a ladder to put on the top beams, otherwise I slide off the roof. Is there a build mode I'm missing? I just started playing Valheim about a week ago.
Thank you and keep up the good work! Super clean instruction!
Hi, yes! There is a "creative mode" the devs include in the base game. On PC, you can press F5 in game to bring up the console command window. In that, you first type "devcommands", hit ENTER; then type "debugmode" + ENTER. Exit out of the console command window. Now, a few keyboard hotkeys will activate a few effects:
Z = fly. To toggle fly speed, press Shift+C and mouse scroll to go faster/slower.
B = free build mode (no more material costs)
K = kill everything in the area
L = remove all nearby drops that are lying on the ground.
Creative mode can be super fun when all you want to do is create, like an artist painting on a canvas (who wants to worry about farming all our paints and pigments first??) That said, I HIGHLY recommend playing the game naturally first. The default survival experience is super fun, and having to discover, unlock, and farm your own materials to build cool, new things is a huge part of that experience. Building scaffolding to build higher is fun as well! I still play both ways often :)
Happy building!
Very well done! You might want to look at the sound volume levels in the video again. For example at minute 22:23 the background music suddenly relatively loud which can be off-putting to some. Also with your calm voice (which is great for this kind of content), you might want to lower the volume of the music at the beginning, too.
Maybe it's just my headphones tho so I might as well be wrong here.
Keep it up, really interesting and inspiring content!
Hi Hixx! Thanks for the feedback! You know, I actually exported this video once (which takes 3 hours to do…), listened to several parts, and noticed similar audio issues. So I went back and tuned the sound for just about every segment and exported it a 2nd time. The lowest default option for a full clip is 10% volume, but I actually had to manually lower the music tracks to between 4-6%. Thankfully, I also lowered the volume on those black screen clips from 80% to 50%! But definitely noted to tune them lower in the future. It’s all a learning experience for me! I was trying to mirror a technique I’ve seen used in other videos online, though I don’t think it worked out so well with some of the tracks I used. Thanks again for watching!
Homitu: “The whole point of this video is not to show a step-by-step tutorial of how to make this exact house”
Me: “That’s what you think”
Haha, I mean by all means go for it! Some of my most fun early building in this game was trying to copy awesome builds I saw other builders share without being able to see everything step-by-step. That allowed me to kind of hands on figure out certain techniques and parts for myself, which was super rewarding.
On round pillars like the ones holding your addition up it looks better if you start the base off with your first four being 2m posts then the other four use 4m posts. Repeat this pattern till the desired height is reached. This way the lines from where the post end dont line up creating a clear straight circle. Similar to the offset bricks method it adds a more pleasing visual end result to the finished product.
Lovely video, really well done. So sorry if you've already explained this somewhere, but, how did you make those boxes on the dock?
gives me bob ross vibes, love it ^^
Wow such a cool video! I don't know if this has been asked but what mods are u using? I see something there that adds those food slots
Thanks! Those quick slots are from RandyKnapp's EquipmentAndQuickslots mod. It eases the inventory slightly by adding specific slots for the armor you have equipped (because why would armor you area wearing also take slots in your inventory!?) and 3 additional hotkey slots for food, or potions, or whatever.
I believe OdinsQOL by Azumatt does the same thing and more if you're interested in additional functionality (ie. increasing your overall inventory by X rows, etc.)
The roof dormer reminds me of one very happy little accident I had.
It was a fairly large U shaped ex-box where I put my comfort in the middle segment. Above the hot tub I made a 6m wide gap with 2 I sections and a regular roof.
And then, when I sat down on my throne, I wondered for a moment: "What is this bright light!?"
The gap in the roof gave a perfect direct view on the moon, specifically from that position.
I doubt that I can make that happen deliberately.
Your comment totally just prompted me to test the moon cycle in Valheim, and I discovered something I had never noticed before. The moon actually rises and sets in the *exact same trajectory* as the sun, exactly half a day apart.
tod .2 for the moon (early dawn) = tod .7 for the sun (late evening) | tod .4 for the sun (late morning) = tod .9 for the moon (early night). You can test by choosing a random time of day, going into fly mode, and just aiming directly at the sun/moon. Then change the tod to be +/- 0.5 difference, and you'll see that the opposite celestial object appear in the exact same spot!
Happy accident indeed :)
@Homitu this calls for a build with a dark location that only has direct sun/moonlight at zenith!
Like the backdoor into Moria
I hope they include thinner stone walls in the future
I love the video. I hope the like and comment helps your viewership.
Hey man, I would love if you did episode on roofs on round buildings. I’m having an issue trying to get my stuff done and you look like you know what you’re doing. I would appreciate the help.
Hey there! You're (sort of) in luck, as I plan on dropping a video in this format about how to build your very own Victorian-style house in the very near future! And, you guessed it, it features some curves and round roofs, as all good Victorian houses do. I'll try to go into a little detail about how to best approach those parts :)
Just subbed….you’re awesome…Thank You! I’ve yet to find a seed with so much flat area. Could you possibly share the seed with us and maybe the approx. location?
