Using the 1x1 flooring as ceiling tiles is very clever. I prefer patterning floors. But the nonsense joists that creates is ugly. Now I don't have to look at that mess anymore.
since the very early days of minecraft ive used paint. with a grid. either print an empty one out or draw in paint. This to make sure the math is correct for the base of whatever build you do. Naturally not needed for smaller houses in valheim but when you build massive like i do this is a great help.
@@Mornomgir I dunno if this is similar to what you mean but the survival modes of these games has never really appealed to me, but building castles does. So in creative and whatnot I learned a long time ago to use different colored wool? Where orange is for towers or blue is for walls, that way as you said the math is correct and things line up, and it's a great way to visualize and recognize that something that looked cool in your head is in fact ugly, or too dark, or things are in the way or it's confusing. So this is a great tip, good point man!
This is the first guide that's actually useful to anyone who's played more than 3 hrs. I keep watching tips videos and it's always the most basic of basic stuff. Got some good ideas here with this one
WOW!!! 👏👏👏 Your decoration skills are out of this world, absolutely amazing! The cellar has such a cool vibe to it, esp with the partial dirt walls and the lower ceiling. Also love how you dedicated the different areas to a certain use, they really tell a story. Would love a short guide on the outside area as well, it is gorgeous!
Love this build! I used to always get stuck on going monochromatic with single materials for build. Like all basic wood, all stone, etc. But adding as much variation as possible has really helped me make more interesting stuff. Love how well you articulated and demonstrated this tip
The "don't stick to one style" really resonates with me. Be it for my first house or what i'm building now, i've always made some kind of mix between different style, as an example my first house is a weird mix between some kind of japanese house on one side and a chalet on the other, and though i don't know if my friends find it to their taste, i feel really good in that house and am proud of it. I guess don't try to force a style, just do what you feel good about.
Mixing of styles sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. E.g. I'm trying to build a mountain Village. First building was a giant 45°-frame longhouse, the second was a stone&darkwood-framed mansion, the third a log cabin 45°-frame bakery (that's all so far, apart from artificial circular silo and some outdoor decor), but I'm not sure the styles fit together as a village. I probably should've stuck to A-frame for the whole village to keep it consistent.
yeah like the other dude said sometimes that works and sometimes it doesn't. depends on the person lol for me, I always built things in minecraft that were "what I felt good about." And since I'm a bit ocd and whatnot, that meant that I'd have fifteen different styles, way too many building materials on a single wall or single room, and a big disjointed castle or house that was confusing, all over the place, and "extra" even years later to this day I have to force myself to slow down and actually intentionally build big boring shapes with one or two materials, and then add detail later. one of the first, most important things you learn in any kind of art you're doing is that the big overall shapes values and textures are what's most important, and that you need to do those well or it won't matter how well you detail stuff. a house or a painting or a castle with good values and basic shapes will look great even if it's sparse and simple. it'll "make sense" instinctually to anyone seeing it. Whereas something that has the most amazing details n decorations but is all over the place and incoherent will never look good I'm also a sucker for anything medieval, so I tend to stick with that. But what you said about mixing textures and styles IS crucial, meaning contrasting stone foundations with light and dark wood walls for a house, for example. slam smashing a japanese house into the side of a chalet, like a growth or a tumor though, maybe you made it look good but it sounds kinda horrible : p just my take
@@ytubestolemyhandle you can keep all those things consistent if you use similar textures and objects for each. or another good way I've found to do that is if you have somethin to tie all that together, be it a wall around the village, town colors that you represent with flags or shields, and/or a castle/palace/manor that shows all these things "go" together. Maybe add the castle either way lol I would : p
I love that Hearth and Home added the cosmetics side and more items. One thing that I believe needs a major change is the combat. I dislike how you must be almost perfectly horizontal to your target and no matter where you look in the y-axis it doesn't change where you swing your weapon. If we could aim where our weapons will swing the combat would be much more fluid and consistent.
I've played 1800 hours of Valheim. I've built hundreds of structures. It NEVER occurred to me to dig a cellar until I watched this video. Idk why, but it never did. I just finished it, it was super easy and I'm very happy with it. Thanks
Hey I’m sure you probably have figured this out. But just in case, if you use the pillars or single block sized square stone pieces you can put 4 crystal walls on top of it to form a box while leaving the center open. And then place a torch inside it on the pillar you’ve just created that box on. I find that it looks the best if you delete the bottom crystal layer you just placed after first placing a top layer on to get closer to the light source, then replacing those just deleted lower crystal walls with a pillar or stone block to hide the torch stem, you can use this to make lit up support columns leaving the top open just a tad to let the smoke out. Looks really cool when wrapped with the dark wood trim and if you use colored torches. Green especially
I can make a rectangle!! But seriously, it's semi-challenging in early game to make anything more complicated due to the need for resources and the challenge associated with your underpowered character in getting the things you need
Creative. I think the two key points I took away from this were to mix up the build materials for complementary effects, and construct your own furniture out of build tab items.
I haven't played this game since release and I wanted to get back into it with some friends, but when I watched this video it showed me the AMAZING new build pieces I can use. I am so much more exited for this now. THANKS
I'm new to this game and I thought the game had some cool building mechanics but this just broke my brain. I cant wait to get to the level where i can build something like that! excellent video!
@@TotalXclipse any, at the moment. I took things slow before the update. I was done with the swamps and paused until update came out. I deleted all of my saves and progress once the update released. Anything is good. Especially artisan builds. That was amazing. How about creative ways to kill bosses?
This looks friggin awesome dude. Especially the mention of alternating window styles 'n stuff. I wanna build a nice place for my friend and I. And this has given me great ideas.
Really cool ideas, especially the glowing potions and the food. I'll use many of the suggestions here when I start building a castle with some friends soon.
a really great video with some beautiful features to the planning aspects as well as the aesthetic aspects. And those really combine. I can't play right now due to other things going on but coming here and watching this is a perfect solution. Thank you.
After a few videos, I am subbed. Awesome video! Me and my friend are trying to spruce up our village; and this video makes me think about how much we're going to need to redesign lol.
Im building an ocean base and I really wanna build it but I'm just hoarding stone so I can raise the area enough so I can make a big base with lots of docks and a courtyard in the middle
Your thoughts and speech is superb. Your skills in decoration is FRENCH KISS. I loved everything in this video and how it is presented. Very inspiring tips that I would take in my own Valheim experience.
I aspire to build like you. I am an average player just on his second playthrough, who almost always uses a basic house, wide but still very plain. I got inspired watching a few build videos yesterday, including some of yours, and today I finished my first big house with an extra floor up and a small balcony on the second floor! It still has its flaws (like bad roofing since it's too high and too many core wood poles inside the house to keep the huge thing balanced because I forgot to build a strong foundation) so it's nothing compared to stuff like this but it's a start as an upgrade from the empty rectangles that I've been calling home up until now. Will definitely go for a bigger and better one once I make progress on this playthrough (only killed Eikthyr and Elder yet so I don't have stones or the many things added in H&H). Also your voice and accent remind me of Morvran Voorhis from The Witcher, which is pretty cool.
I love your valhiem stuff! Its really cool... we started up over again a new server with our community and use a lot of ur stuff as references. Keep on with ur work. A big like and a sub. ;)
great set of tips! i love the cupboard doors and the wood shield platter is very clever! i prefer my buildings to have high ceilings, and im still working on getting cellers to be shaped correctly lol
Really enjoy you working in the game and not in creative mode. Thought about including any events as a way to show how long this takes while you defend?
I see how you got the horizontal wood stacking using the door, but how do you do the vertical one? I saw you had two core wood beams stacked on top of each other-how did you do that?
Wow this house was Sick i really like the creativity and the cozyness, I really want to build something like this but gathering all the materials will be the annoying part
Your deco tutorial is so amazing. im wondering however did you get the cup holder on top of the shield? i have tried several times but cant seem to figure it out.
You have to layer several of the item stands on top of each other until they poke through the shield. Looking forward to doing more if these when mistlands arrives 😊
What's your thoughts on the new buildables and more importantly whats your favourite build tip?
Using the 1x1 flooring as ceiling tiles is very clever.

Really, a great video and build Total, always love these time lapse builds. I love the details and variation you added, especially in the cellar.

These simple techniques are just amazing. Will be adding a lot of these to my builds.
Watching you artist builders is like watching a magic trick - amazing.

Awesome build, first video of yours i watched and I'd like to say you are a talented builder. Great job and good content!
Well done editing and time indexed playback. This is great.
Really cool ideas, especially the glowing potions and the food. I'll use many of the suggestions here when I start building a castle with some friends soon.
Love it. I’m not at your level but I was able to do several of your design ideas on my own build.
This is my first experience on this channel. And I love all the small details
Ok you're good at this, some good ideas 👍🏻
Dude is salivating over his own interior design.
I am also salivating over it.

@@Getta0422 oops, oui oui you are right Chef's kiss.
I absolutely love these builds that fit in with the surroundings!
Always provides content that is worth the viewers’ time.
your videos show some incredible creativity... taking lots of inspiration from these into my future building!
The Valheim building Bible. Amazing work!
This is exactly the type of video I needed to help me finish up my mountain base
simply awesome. love you did not fly through the build. all the details. really awesome video ( 6 months late but still)
"What makes the great houses stand out from the....other houses" Lol! Reminds me of how people defend the 'boxes' they build as 'practical'.
Lovely attention to details but don't forget about overhang roofs to add more Sept in the building
Trying to get to this stage asa solo player without the mods and dev codes is a real challenge. But I'm loving the epic grind to get things together!
You must have been an architect in a previous life. Simply Brilliant.
this is awesome , thanks for this video :D

Proper nice build that 👌🏻 I really like the new roofs and the extra small bits of wood are good for extra detailing
Your videos are amazing man, wish I was as good a builder as you
oh wow the signs usage is amazing
What an incredible build! Fantastic job!
Best Valheim build videos thanks for the hard work!
I love your valhiem stuff! Its really cool... we started up over again a new server with our community and use a lot of ur stuff as references. Keep on with ur work. A big like and a sub. ;)
Incredible work ! Well done.
great set of tips! i love the cupboard doors and the wood shield platter is very clever!
i prefer my buildings to have high ceilings, and im still working on getting cellers to be shaped correctly lol
great explainations on how items can be used
Nice, good tips. Sent it to our builder.
Hopefully thanks to this video, Iron Gate might be granting engineering/architect degrees later on. Congratz, your house looks absolutely fantastic.
I love how this game's building looks. I haven't played it yet and i bet it's hard to learn, but boy is it good looking.
Such a lovely build, something different, a little more rustic than most👏
So clever using the Wooden Shields as platters, I was so confused like were are the platters in the build menu :P
wow man this all looks really good!
Omg so many cool tricks!! Thanks!
My friend placed darkwood wolfheads to bottom of the doorframe so that those were half buried. That looked really nice
Very nice house, good job!
Amazing work.
So much inspiration.. thanks!
+1 for mushroom ambient lighting
I would love to make this kind of houses :o I'm very excited for valheim now.
This is absolutely gorgeous.
Valheim - Awakening the interior designer in all of us.
Badazz
.. you're an artist...
Nice build! I built one for myself around the fishfarm
Jesus that looks beautiful!
Wish I could have this save, love it !
I have used the bottom fireplace all the away up to 6 stories and it works
Really enjoy you working in the game and not in creative mode. Thought about including any events as a way to show how long this takes while you defend?
Sometimes the events creep in, but generally I try to draw them away from the build as soon as the attacks happen
"Make it feel more homely"
Me: "No, no I don't think I will."
6:33 you're adding what now?
shutters.
i have a little tipp for wood floors, turn every second plate 90 degrees.
Very nice build and great useful tips
Good job :)
fantastic job!!
Love it. Want to play now.
50 seconds into this video i shared it to my discord group... Goddamn, wow
Excellent video! do you have a guide for how you plan these builds and all its details?
You should be an interior decorator dude. Good stuff!
Now that's how you do a build!
when i see that railing i was like hmm very practical :DD
I see how you got the horizontal wood stacking using the door, but how do you do the vertical one? I saw you had two core wood beams stacked on top of each other-how did you do that?
God damn, this is beautiful!
I'm looking forward to returning to Valheim with more of these when mistlands arrived
like an episode of grand design, the diction.🤣good video
Sick. I'm going to go use these to build my masterpie... It's still a shack.
Wow this house was Sick i really like the creativity and the cozyness, I really want to build something like this but gathering all the materials will be the annoying part

Can you link the world seed you used in this one? That place looks peak comfy, would love to build next to a woodland river. Thanks for the tutorial!
