There isn't a shift equivalent for controllers unfortunately unless you're lucky and valheim is one of the very few games on Xbox that supports keyboard and mouse but I highly doubt it.
the stair/ladder roof bits look cool at first but they would degrade in the rain. anyway I got 500hours on record for this game and I did not know you could hold shift when terraforming, I've been doing it the hard way.
There's a quality of life mod called 'Valheim Plus' online that gives you the ability to modify quite a lot of the in-game settings, including rain degradation aka rain damage on structures. I've disabled it with that mod. On top of that, it has a 'ranged repair' mode that lets you insta-repair stuff with your hammer over a certain range instead of piece by piece :)
A great fix for the stairs degrading is actually to have a roof for the stairs one meter above. Still lets in plenty of light and adds a lot of depth to the build while keeping everything sheltered!
I’ve just beat the first boss and have a nice little house down in the meadows moving on to Black Forest to improve on what I’ve learnt. Wasn’t feeling it at first as a heavy DayZ/Rust player but once I got my first flint spear I didn’t look back. Great game for the steam deck running nicely at around 50fps with some tinkering.
3:50 You can place cooking stations anywhere. I use them to capture deer that are running because they don't require a workbench and they are very cheap. You just can't attach food unless there is a fire under it.
For 0:34, you can also place 2x2 floor pieces at the very edge (on top) of a dock walkway and then use that as a guidance piece that allows to continue building outwards. Saves you from having to try to build a platform in the water- especially if the shoreline or pond isn't shallow enough to easily place a standing point.
**(Also it's good to start the dock wide if there's a space between two walkways for a boat so that you don't have to expand it in the future for a longboat as opposed to a raft or karve- same goes for the rest of your homestead)
@zigrastical6646 not sure, maybe to keep ot relevant? There are comments from over a year ago so maybe he's updating the title to boost the video in the algorithm
can confirm even with the Q and E to rotate snap point sometimes is still pretty bad at getting it to connect to the snap point you want at times. found myself freehand placing a lot whilst building last nigght
Idk if this was added since the video was made but you can also press Q or E while building to change the snap point, letting you place supports without needing to be under them and walls in awkward positions
I just recently started playing this alot more with my buddy, i noticed myself spending more time on building instead of venturin’ out n abouts, the build system is nice!
WHAAAAAAAAT! why did the tips in game never say anything about Shift while using the hoe. literally never brought that up or showed the option at the bottom like your hammer does.
These tips are fantastic! Thank you so much. And I really enjoyed seeing some of ur build while u were explaining things, absolutely beautiful build. I just got Valheim a few weeks ago. I played the 4 hour trial and was hooked. Can’t wait to check out more of ur videos and to try out some of these methods. 👍
If you build a foundation as described in the video you can build a standing torch at ground level before adding your floor tile, it will clip around it then clip a 2m short vertical beam around the torch pole giving it a more lamp or candle look. Adjust the terrain or build a beam underneath the tile to get the height that works best for you, works great for cabinets or tables from floor level also
Thanks for the video! I have started playing Valheim and I was a bit confused on some things when it came to building. The biggest headache to me, so far is, using the hoe to level the ground. The Shift + tip was much needed. Thanks again & keep up the great content! +1 Like
I knew most of the tips, but even then it was nice to watch the video and some pretty Valheim footage. There were also a couple tips I didn;t know or think of before and I feel like I need to play Valheim right now to use them in practice :D
#43 is awkward. Since the horizontal beams stick through the bottom of the door and your character actively steps over it, it's more cost effective, saves a few seconds and looks better to instead use the 1/2 horizontal beams on either side and just snap the door to one of those.
I bought this game because I wanted something "like Minecraft" lol. Well, there's a lot more physics involved in this game's building system, so this video was a big help 👍
0:40ish... I wish I had thought of that... 1:05ish... I'm also a fan of extending Roof past the Walls for 2 other reasons...: Sometimes it can be convenient and useful to have overhang roof to stand under to avoid annoying Wet Status while doing something beside a Building, like operating a Charcoal Kiln or such, and ya can have Player Foundation Paths built alongside and outside Building Floors to walk and run on between Buildings and have Roof Overhangs covering over them for elemental protection 'on the house'... ;P
For #17: It is not the Y-support that gives more stability to extend a piece further. It is the stability of the corewood beam. The stability in valheim isn't physic based. Different building pieces have a better stability range. You can build much higher and wider with stronger build pieces like wood iron for example.
Is there any downside to enabling creative mode in the middle of a play through? Like just to finish your base, then turn creative off. Will it affect any of the progression or anything like that?
I absolutely love Valheim, it's one of my new favourites - BUT, usually in the Sims, Minecraft etc I can happily spend hours and hours building, I don't know why but in Valheim I just immediately feel overstimulated when I try to build 😂
storage lockers on the small edge are critical, you will have some many different things and large quantities to store as you go. I have a chest full of troll hides....
Is there any chance you have this world file somewhere that you could share? would love to recreate one of the houses you built here but I'm too bad at building to do it from this video alone :D
you can place a chest on a chest :) ( using 1m pole, put the chest on the pole above the first chest and destroy the pole, second chest doesn't destroy cause the first hold him)
you can actually build floors without going down to find an angle. Just go to the edge of the current floor you're building with and you can see a snap point from the opposite direction of what your stepping with.
it baffles me that so many building videos don't tell you that you can press 'Q' to change the snap point on a selected build piece. If it's not 'Q', check the key bindings in settings and see what key or button it is! It saves having to place guide pieces or sit on the floor to snap objects. Maybe it is just a new feature?
Before the devs patched it, you could use dev commands to spawn in higher level variations of tools. I have a character that I use exclusively for creative mode and he has a level 100 hammer for building that I only have to repair every few weeks lol
I keep getting tips about how to land tricky snap points and like... I can't help but wonder when the ability to cycle snap points with Q and E was added.
Great guide, must actually try ,Im SO bad at building i just live under the burial stones with my workbench and a fire to warm up and cook and have torches around a radius of the stones and one on top of the resting stone that sits on the three standing stones, theres probably a proper name for the structure😂😂😂 You couldnt find a more simpler life!! I dont even have a bed, i just spawn where you place all the bosses heads and hop over to my open air abode!
I'd rather just use the horizontal iron beam to place a campfire. It's much easier on resources and can be used to make proper fireplace with ease. That said, the braziers can also be used for cooking if you set it up right
I liked the plant pot idea👍🤣here are my tips for valheim onsole multiplayer: -Using Dev commands kills your organic game- everyone can't refrain from doing 'just one more thing' to help themselves. Game killer. -Terrain / Landscaping: While seemingly EVERY tuber recommends it, it will also HEAVILY affect frame rates and game performance. Do you want to be experience base-raids to 5 frames a second? Then build a moat. -Tubers often play alone using God Modes, they rarely find the games strains that regular players encounter. Do NOT build roads or landscape. Do not mine Copper deposits that are inside of your render-range of your main base.....the frames!!! -Do not build on the borders of different Biomes, the game can't manage all the AI spawing in your 'instance' and your sound effects clash: Abominations groaning over deer calls and freyling, whilst gulls and crows call every 8 seconds? Gets annoying very quickly. -Farming is glitchy, plant well away from your main base or through a portal. -Boar Farming needs a player 150m away. Honestly. So don't bother unless you need less frames in your area of operations. Don't do mass pig farming, just use 2star Boars only or hunt locally (better as you can access other resources like berries, mushroom, fish and more boar, unlike what only a breeding pen can offer you) -Forget fishing until endgame -Forget Magic until endgame -Game crashes whilst using a ship will often lose you the ship. Expect 10 ships to do the job of one or two. Make many spares. -Allocate an Meadows type Island on which to build, deep waters on all sides. This allows you to forego building glitchy defensive measures- walls, earthen obstructions or moats because the AI cant spawn in anywhere to attack you on ground level. This allows you to build freely without interruption or risk. Harvest lands through portals or off server, ship the rest in. Paradise. Great wee game 👍
58 seconds in and im already pissed that I've never thought of using the ladders as a skylight. Genius! Great video.

the tip at 3:00 about the shift holding for pathing is honestly the best tip ive ever gotten in any game this has been bugging me for so long

@@beenjaminedoes anyone know the console equivalent? What is shift connected to for PC?
There isn't a shift equivalent for controllers unfortunately unless you're lucky and valheim is one of the very few games on Xbox that supports keyboard and mouse but I highly doubt it.
My bad, just played around with it and holding the left shoulder button should give the same result as the shift button.

Clipping trick when in build mode use Q and E to get snapping options without having to use camera angle or sitting down!
Great video. Efficient and informative.. Thanks!
This is incredible, so many things I haven't seen bore

Dropping a comment for the algorithm! Great production quality and content!
Thanks for making this guide! :D
Haha, really appreciate that, Florian! It's my pleasure, cheers!
Good stuff, there were a few tips in there that I hadn't seen anywhere else.
Damn man, your builds look amazing. Huge props
On the console, type "bind mouse0 heal" to completely fill your stamina with each mouse click in creative mode
That's a great idea, cheers dude!

Nice comments, nice tips, nice video. Thankl You!
This was a fantastic video im really excited to employ these tips
i have fallen in love with this game
Saving this to watch again later! Such good tips!
This was welcoming. Thanks for the tips and ideas.
THIS IS SO CUTE I LOVE THE HOUSE YOU MADE SO MUCH
I could really use a few tips on stone building :)
Do you have a guide to build the house in the firstz seconds? looks awsome! 🙂
Learned two things today and I thought I knew everything!
Is there any downside to enabling creative mode in the middle of a play through? Like just to finish your base, then turn creative off. Will it affect any of the progression or anything like that?
Oh wow the ladders as skylight is so going on my next build
Use Q or E to cycle snap points on any snapable building piece. Corner, center, top, bottom, edge.
I only have 25 hours of gameplay, this is so mindblowing to me
Great tips. Cant wait to jump into it

Dont really feel like it but i ll subscribe out of graditute to help out your quest. It was trully good advice.
you can place a chest on a chest :) ( using 1m pole, put the chest on the pole above the first chest and destroy the pole, second chest doesn't destroy cause the first hold him)
If you go into debug mode, does it only let you place what you have unlocked or will it unlock everything for you?
It unlocks Everything for you :)
@@blurblack2718 Ok thanks. Then I know to not use debug mode and just do what I have been doing and spawning wood and using the fly command
As a beginner this blew my mind
0:18 saved me A LOT of time
thanks you're the best !!!
Haha, my pleasure!
As a note for anyone watching this today. We now have forced snapping cycling. no more sitting down to snap correctly!
1:57 trolls be like HOLD MY BEER
you can actually build floors without going down to find an angle. Just go to the edge of the current floor you're building with and you can see a snap point from the opposite direction of what your stepping with.
Good work.. And ideas
0:27 you don't need to do that. Just hover over the part you want to attach to and press Q until it snaps to your desired place.

-Using Dev commands kills your organic game- everyone can't refrain from doing 'just one more thing' to help themselves. Game killer.
-Terrain / Landscaping: While seemingly EVERY tuber recommends it, it will also HEAVILY affect frame rates and game performance. Do you want to be experience base-raids to 5 frames a second? Then build a moat.
-Tubers often play alone using God Modes, they rarely find the games strains that regular players encounter. Do NOT build roads or landscape. Do not mine Copper deposits that are inside of your render-range of your main base.....the frames!!!
-Do not build on the borders of different Biomes, the game can't manage all the AI spawing in your 'instance' and your sound effects clash: Abominations groaning over deer calls and freyling, whilst gulls and crows call every 8 seconds? Gets annoying very quickly.
-Farming is glitchy, plant well away from your main base or through a portal.
-Boar Farming needs a player 150m away. Honestly. So don't bother unless you need less frames in your area of operations. Don't do mass pig farming, just use 2star Boars only or hunt locally (better as you can access other resources like berries, mushroom, fish and more boar, unlike what only a breeding pen can offer you)
-Forget fishing until endgame
-Forget Magic until endgame
-Game crashes whilst using a ship will often lose you the ship. Expect 10 ships to do the job of one or two. Make many spares.
-Allocate an Meadows type Island on which to build, deep waters on all sides. This allows you to forego building glitchy defensive measures- walls, earthen obstructions or moats because the AI cant spawn in anywhere to attack you on ground level. This allows you to build freely without interruption or risk. Harvest lands through portals or off server, ship the rest in. Paradise.
Great wee game 👍
is it only possible with a mod to plant like Rassberrys and others? ...
Yes, at the moment only mods enable the ability to plant raspberry, blueberry bushes, etc.
