Valheim: Top 10 Tips and tricks - Vetlive

Me and my gf just picked this game up and every night we sit down and play a hour or two nights we are at our separate houses

The details of this game are really amazing. I avoided puttin a lot of time in building first cause i am more a fight oriented Soulsborne player, but now that i gave it some time i really like to mess around with improving my home, function and also looks-wise

Do the ladder roof skylight things still provide shelter?

You can use E while trying to place beams and what not and it gives you different snap options like top snap and bottom snap. It's works great

press q till it says top and makes placing low easy as

Just started the game with my son. Loving it! This was a super helpful video. Thank you.

Left a like because the last part but probably going to upgrade my beams heard stone beam at the bottom helps alot with stability

My bases are looking like a crack head made them lol. I’m only 12 hours into the game so I’m still getting used to everything

I built a 5 story house whit out iron. there were Core wood every ware

Wouldn't the staircase rot if it's part of the roof?

Could you make an updated video? This video was awesome

When you use the temp beam to allow you to snap another one, how do you easily deconstruct the temp beam?
Any time I’ve been trying to take something down I’ve been smashing it with the axe…

For the snapping (tip 1) just cycle the snapping with Q or E on your keyboard. With columns it can snap to top, bottom or auto

I am incapable of creating anything other than a 2x3 box. Every survival game has all these amazing options and choices and I end up with a muddy cube

I'm amazed how many videos I've seen with people showing how to "correctly" place objects while building..for crying out loud, why does no one use the damn Snapping option!? It makes things so much easier 😂 only takes a few minutes to get used to it how it works but after that it's really easy to keep putting build objects where they should be

I disagree with the basement tip, its too finnicky and if you have built on the wrong rotation for the terrain, it makes things far more difficult. there is also the difficulty of risking breaking your house because breaking terrain could make a single foundation float, and cascade throughout the entire build.

I love the ladder trick with the roof, however one small problem is that is leaves an opening for your wood to go rotten.

i find making a dock with a wood sucks, since rain will weaken the wood, makes it softer, hence I'm using stone.

This is awesome thanks!

You can change your snapping point to make it easier. You dont have to do it that way. Not sure the keyboard key, but with an zbox controller you push the right stick to cycle through snapping points when in build mode.

I started Valheim a while ago with friends and fell in love with building the bases. Your buildings are a whole different level of cosiness and I will consider your tips for my future projects.
Thank you for this video.

If you want to place a support beam on something that it won't snap to, instead of placing multiple beams, just cycle through the snapping options until you see "top" or w/e is applicable for your situation. Much easier, requires the same number of inputs.

If I were to use tip 7 would rain pour through the ladders and into my building?

i just started valheim a couple days ago and seeing how much you can do with the building system just blows my mind. so far i've been building very basic houses that just serve my basic needs of a workbench, bed and camp fire. i did however build a chimney in one of my houses. that's the most advanced thing i've done so far. :)

I know the game sees it differently, but I just don't like putting open fires against or near wood :p That's why I developed a building style that emphasizes on a strong foundation, solid stone walls, but second/third floors made of wood. Fireplaces are part of the whole stone construction and the only thing made of stone that rises beyond the first floor. Use alternating wood floor boards to cover much of the stone, or create an elevated deck.

Instead of placing a beam to find a snap connection, I press Q to change the snapping point. helps alot when working with vertical poles (like building a dock and the support poles go underwater). Hopefully this helps out!

Snapping problems now solved with Heath and Home Update: Simply press E to move your snap points around. Voila

It's funny because a lot of your tips actually apply to building real houses too lol

Awesome tutorial! I really appreciate the advice for the basement. That is one aspect that has been a difficult one for me to overcome.

I know this video is a year old, so I don’t know if it’s a new option, but on Xbox we have an option to change how the snap function works. On controller with the default controller layout it’s right thumb stick pushed in. There are many different options and it makes building so much easier.

Wish I knew about this earlier, been trying to add roof using plain wood for ages 😕😁

I’m a carpenter by trade and I’m having a whole new appreciation for building on this game rather than just whacking greylings 😂

If you need an Editor I can help you there.

This was very helpful, thank you so much! And your buildings are just awesome! I watch them as an inspiration when I grow tired of woodchopping. 😅

Snap points post hildir are fantastic

thankyou !

Seeing that first snappoint trick was like a religous experience for me. THANK YOU

That dock is super nice!! Would love to see a build video

2nd tip: just press Q lol

Great video, thanks!

+ 1 sub, great content, i just buy the game and i am in the very early of the game, you are the first channel that tell about valhein this good

thanks man!

the new snap points just released are making things sooo much easier

Wouldnt the ladders on the side of the homes let rain in..? and damage the stairs in 1 storm?

Just got in to Valheim and these are best tips for construction I have seen so far. Thank you.
