  • Unlike some survival games building is in Valheim is not optional. At the very least you'll need to build a small base to be able to sleep and use your crafting stations. In this video I'm going to discuss the basics of building in Valheim so you can get started on building the base of your dreams.

    Not sure if anyone has mentioned it, but instead of floors you can use the poles/posts (whatever they are called) as a framework underneath the floor. That way just in case the ground isn't perfectly flat the floors will snap to the poles/posts instead and all the floors will be considered foundation and be blue. It's been a while since I've played so I hope that makes sense!

    Regarding upgrading your crafting stations, each upgrade item can be placed in a proximity of about 3 floor tiles (2x2 ones).
    So u can hide them under the floor or in a basement, right under the crafting station.
    This saves a ton of space inside your house and looks less cramped.

    my first day i caught on quick, fixed up a fishing hut i found, and i encountered the bed thing. i put the campfire right outside my door, as protection from mobs i thought, proceeding to trap myself in a burning house of death. I made it out and dived in the ocean, but burned to death anyways. this was my first death, i bought the game this morning. hence why i'm here in your video lol.

    I noticed the building mechanic is semi realistic. If you use beams to build a framework of house, you can build bigger houses, taller houses with fewer vertical support. ESPECIALLY if it's core woord beams.

    After playing a ton of survival games the past idk how many years, i always just rush my first house day 1. Usually just a 3x4 space or so. It's almost always just a starter shack anyways once i find more fertile ground to lay down more permanent roots. I like how this game allows you to fix up a pre-existing location. I've made a bunch of outposts this way, but defaulted to my 3x4 shack since it's so routine for me.

    For the smoke issue. You can build a fireplace on a wall and a chimney from the roof with a 26 degree roof piece to protect the fire from rain. It vents the smoke perfectly and gives the home a comforting asthetic.

    • @ArloMathis

      The hoe flattening can only raise/lower so much, you need to add stone to raise or use the pickaxe to break downward past that.

      The level of the ground can only be raised or lowered 2 steps with the hoe from its original state. This is an intentional cap to prevent raising or lowering anything infinitely.

    Hey Milton I been playing all day and it’s so lagging I play on Xbox , will it ever be optimized I can’t even fight over 3 mobs at a time the lag is so bad and when I sprint or it rains it’s completely unplayable and I love this game I want to play it so bad I don’t know how to fix it do I just need a PC ?

    • @MediocreMilton
      @MediocreMilton  Рік тому +4

      Not sure if you are able to change these settings on console but if you can change the following on the Graphics tab:
      Vegetation Quality - medium or low
      Particle Lights - low
      Shadow Quality - medium
      Active Point Lights - 15
      Active Point Light Shadows - Low 0
      I also have all of the options below those turned off. I would lower each of the above one level at a time to see if it helps. The game is definitely not optimized so expect some stutters here and there but it should be able to hold a decent frame rate.

      It’s basically a count of how mamy additional objects are in a particular zone. Most building pieces add 3 instances. The terraforming thing he said is no longer true after an update, so terraforming doesn’t add instances anymore.
