I'm fixing up the Blue Goblet Inn. It's a beautiful building with more than enough rooms so that each NPC can have a room. When I first walked into it I thought "Why not just use this place?" And so I am.
@@Sexnuf4u As far as I can tell as long as an item is within your build zone it counts toward your comfort level granted you have to have all 3 checkmarks to get the buff. It doesn't matter the number of buildings you build. comfort level works by items you place expl: a bed will have a CL of 2 as other items have none. It's something you need to play around with. I get 52 minutes of rest time in the tavern after adding some stuff.
@@reasonblacks4712 There are certain items of the same category that overlaps with others and dont add any more confort if you place them together...ATM is basically impossible for what I know to see if you have duplicates and avoid creating new ones that will be basically useless for that purpose of adding confort lvls. (maybe something to add in the future by the developers)
The most fun I’ve had with this game was crafting a castle on a hill with a longhouse on the side with a dope basement that leads out to a cliff opening
I restored Harvest Homestead to its former glory, easily the coziest spot on the map rn. I have it up to 55 comfort I believe, and converted all the wood floors to palm wood. Currently working on a desert cave base seated on top of a mountain in Kindlewastes.
@VixenMadness yeah so what you need to do is use the first line tool and clear all the original floors out with the remove function then replace them with your desired floors. The bits of rubble all over the place are part of the original "ruined" floor so they can't be destroyed with a pickaxe without removing the actual floor.
me too, i use it as a farm. i repaired the shed next to the main house and i use it for crops and vegetables as storage. and i use the fields. You can remove all that wich reminds you of death. and its a nice home. The only downside is the enshrouded area nearby but other than that.
I haven't played that much bc I don't have a lot of free time. I never realized we can take over a building, this is a game changer for me. I still want to get into building but early on I prefer to get stronger and explore rather than grind materials and make a lame building. Thanks for sharing this!
The game content is not that much atm, it may seem a lot but you will run out. So don't be sorry to take your time. I just basically ran out of content, just have a few spots on the map that aren't tottaly discovered. But I think I've finished all the quests, found about 95% of all lore/documents etc. And have 4 achivements left which are basically light all the shrines and way points in 4 diferent areas. But I've heard we'll be getting more content soon, so excited for that.
I can tell they wanted this to be an option to do, I’ve noticed that pieces will form to the broken parts to make it look “better” on mine. Makes me feel like I’m actually fixing it
Same thing I did! I restored the entire ceiling and replacing most of the old block with different ones. The only issue I am having is replacing the sidewalks outside of it. It won't let me replace them without going over the top of the old one. Unless I go one brick at a time. Which I'm not sure I want to. Haha!
I started working on a massive mage tower. Several floating structures, leveled out a mountain and then reformed it to create a floating island for the tower to sit on. Made a lot of good use out of copper and glowstone for that runic vibe as well as the city block stone and shroudwood for the main materials.
Ironically, my first base was Woodgard and it's tavern. It is a bit too close to the shroud, but it makes for imo a great "staging ground" for shroud cleansing. I tore down the church to build a castle tho.
I found Peaceful Acres to be a good homestead spot. There are a lot of different resources nearby, like string from spiders. shroud wood and water, salt, flintstone and soem red trees that have a higher chance to drop resin nearby. It's got lots of land to plant crops and a small shed I use for my mushrooms. the home it spacious but did need a little remodelling. for some reason the 1st floor had like two halways really. I took out a wall and now there's 2 rooms downstairs with ample room for all my crafters. There is also a small bit of shroud nearby with a decent chest nearby to farm and as well as a flame shrine. All in all a good homestead that will hold until you get to the desert region.
@@JohnVanderbeckIt’s just North West of the starting base location. I may be wrong about this part, but I think if you travel west from the starting base and do the first little grapple wall climb thing to the left of the first big bridge you see, then just keep heading down the paths up there for like 20 mins, you’ll come to it :)
Sunsimmer Southterrain is one my favorite POI's. It has that Tatooine vibe with it's underground gardens in the desert, reminds me of Luke's uncle's moisture farm.
The Blue Goblet had me taking screenshots and using it as inspiration to build a massive inn. My inn is much bigger (which takes ages to build) but I absolutely love it now that it's coming together.
I'm working on moving to the blue goblet now it's my 3rd base move I'm doing it because I love the building and layout. Plus resources are great around it
@@Hooligoon-Hāfu That's my idea. As soon as I found it and checked it out, I wanted to find the Building Pieces to fix it up properly and make it the home base for me and my Crafter buddies.
I found blue goblet inn on accident and fell in love with the idea of taking it over so tried and yay. I fixed it all up and commented on a couple of these videos about it before i realized there is videos about the place and it is like number 1 in places people are taking over . the comfort level without having to build anything was a big plus . my main base is still in the starter spot and i have a lot invested in it so is still the main . i just discovered Rattlebeak yesterday and set up a flame right by it . I didn't think about making the whole little town mine and restore it but that's my next adventure after watching this :). thnx
I have never played yet. Trying to understand first. So you’re saying we can have a base anywhere we put down a flame and then it’s a quick travel place? What is the max comfort everyone is talking about?
Blue Goblet Tavern,a fellow Revelwood area enthousiast. Out of all the biomes,Revelwood is hands down the best looking enviroment to settle in or make your own base and funny enough Blue Goblet Tavern was my inspiration to try to make a bar kinda tavern vibe in one of my bases, I've build that base on the hill to the right of Pikemead's Reach and altho I made myself a tower to just glide inside the boss room whenever,I found fast enough that there was a limit to how close to the walls of Pikemead's Reach I could build which sorta ruined the plans I had so I made majority of my base inside the hill and underground with a huge farm outside with an awesome view that half of it is on air standing on pillars. Got it as close to realistic as I could have. But the resources it took?Over 7k wood including planks I made,11k stone,4k flinstone,175 Bronze Bars and many other miscellaneous expensive resources to cap out my comfort around lvl 52 for maxium rest time bonus of 58 minutes. It gets to the point that end game is just you farming resources to build bases and that's the whole motivation.
Me and my mate have done this on our server in southern revelwood theres a bridge that has a village on one side then a broken down stone town on the north side we claimed the stone town repaired the perimeter wall and most of the buildings inside then demolished one entirely and made it bigger to be our main comfort booster house its comfort is currently over 50 and we have 59mins of rested bonus. The flame at full level gives us a big enough parameter to build a large farm outside the front gate. All the houses are a good size we use one for the blacksmith and carpenter, one for the alchemist one for the hunter. The farmer is set up in the courtyard with covered roof walkways. It works great.
I started playing 4 days ago and this was my instant thought. To take over some place thats already semi built. I used westcot. it has a water well and one of the bigger houses was an easy fix.
what would be cool, is take over a settlement, and fix it up. Once a building is fixed up, an NPC moves in. Once it has walls, defenses, etc, you can remove the flame, and let the settlement support itself. Then, some time later, World Events happen where different settlements are attacked, NPCs killed, buildings destroyed, and you have to go liberate it and get it up and running again.
In the south of the desert is a sous-terrain, settlement that's just below the surface, which surprised me a bit when I found it since you rarely see them put into games with desert locations. They use the thermal mass of the ground to stay cooler in the day but warm at night when the temperatures drop.
I did this in one of the first places I found. It had everything I needed, crops water and good resources in the surrounding area. I never maxed out the flame for it though.
I had thought about this after seeing some of the little hamlets. I play a lot of 7D2D and I usually end up fixing up a decent house to be my base. For the first little while, I'll attach my horde base to it. I just didn't realize the flame stops the respawning in the area. Now that I know, this is definitely what I'm going to do! Thanks!
I respect your viewpoint you made some good talking points. I might do this for one of my bases, but I have to say as someone who really doesn't have much experience building I am having sooo much fun with my creativity their tools make it so enticing to do. I love too that you really can build virtually anywhere. I found a tall boulder, and I dug a hole out of the center and put a ladder through it, which is now the entrance to a base I built ontop of that boulder. Granted, no experience building it's not exactly a realistic supported structure, but it looks cool nonetheless I made it 3 stories and it looks kinda like a pirate getaway home. I love it
I agree. That's the draw for these kinds of games. An outlet for creativity and room to improve it. I found a sweet spot just a bit West of the Gate to the Pillars of Creation, that has great harvesting potential. The main thing it has is a bunch of those red trees for resin (about 75 resin in one harvest), but there is also a small spot to mine copper and a larger one (Glimmer Rock Mine) close by. It also has flax and and a lot of ferns to make string for bandages. It's right on the edge of a patch of shroud with an Elixer Well, so plenty of torn cloth and metal scraps, shroud liquid and shroud wood. There is a fat, flat rock that I can jump up on with double jump, so it's safe from animals that can't jump and if anything follows me out of the mist. I plopped a Flame Altar on top and made a Romanesque looking base on top with stairs to the roof so I have running space to launch from. When you tele in, you are underneath the the structure, with an unobstructed view all the way around except for the stairs going up to the only floor. I used door walls with no door all the way around, except for the small section in the back for the bed and fireplace. I used the mycelium block with a space between each wall so it looks kinda crumbling. It's a WIP and I think I want to use some of that glowing block for trim. One thing Valheim has over this game is the ability to make diagonal floor tiles and walls, but it's still in early access, so hopefully they will fix that. I'll definitely tear down this base and put an octagonal structure on top.
@@y0nd3r that all sounds really awesome, and I'll have to check out that one spot with all the resources that sounds great! Thank you for sharing and happy Enshrouding :)
The absolute best place I've found to rebuild has been Harvest Homestead. It has multiple buildings to restore for your NPCs, a great aesthetic, and a massive, already plowed field for planting. Just as an aside, you cannot replant in those wicker planters, which is a shame. I also restored the Bounty Barn a small farmhouse with a plot of wheat. It's near a patch of Shroud, but I put walls around it due to all the prowling animals and it's not that big of a deal. The third place I took over was this single tower base on a raised peak, with only a bridge to access it. It has a top floor that had the stairs knocked out, and is so cosy feeling up there (the floor is completely undamaged). That I just started looking for ways to repair it.
I rebuilt Lupa's Lair and posted the videos on my channel. Right now I'm working on Glenwood's End. This is one of the videos that kind of put me on that path. I rebuilt that tavern on a private server that I stopped playing on. I'm going to redo it on a new world though :D Thanks for the inspiration.
Smart ideal especially for those who either don’t have the creative know how or time to dump hours into a base. The comfort bonus is a big one but to go against all those saying that doing this is lazy, if someone doesn’t want to build that is fine. If they do that is fine also. A neat thing about taking over a settlement is then you can reimagine how you would. Make additions, add decorations, etc. really gives the different locations new life!
I rebuilt Glenwoods end, as my main base. love it. Each NPC has their own shop and home. Even put in a Masoleum. Now rebullding the church at Woodgard.
I thought so too but in the end, I have the one base where you first start (the meadow bordering Longkeep) and other bases build only the altar and workbench for fixing weapons because I move them altars around as I progress through the map.
This is exactly how I play as well. I built up the starter base and that's my home base and I just plop other alters down for fast travel and repairing.
You gave me a wonderful new perspective to view building from in this game. At first I was like, what's the point of having more than one base since you can fast travel to the spires already. But your take on revitalizing this world by "flipping" these settlements and bringing new life to them really enabled me to enjoy the building side of the game more. I love building in other survival games but wasn't feeling it in this game until I heard your perspective. Thank you!
This video inspired me to take over Thornhold and see if I can clean it up. Definitely a fixer upper lol. After removing a bunch of the wooden structures the stone walls and buildings have a lot of potential. Also got a pile of scrap metal from removing all of the cages!
Yeah the metal scraps, twigs, torn cloth, and wood logs pile up at an amazing rate when you go into renovation mode, which is just an added side bonus. I took over and refurbished/repurposed a dilapidated tower in the southlands just NW of Morwenna and one of the Carpentry Camps. It sets on a pillar of rock apart from the main cliff face, with a now rebuilt bridge spanning the distance betwixt cliff and door. There's Shroud and a Root to the south and west. When I took over the tower it was manned by 2 melee and 1 archer shroudbies (Shroud+zombies=shroudbies). I cleared them out, placed my flame on the second floor so as to encompass the whole tower in build area, then repaired the bridge and front door. Placed survivors and their equipment on various floors, even made a hanging garden around one of the covered balconies for the Farmer. By that time it was nightfall, and a whole mini-horde (6-10) of shroudbies came charging across the bridge, throwing themselves against the front door. So I went down and cleared the bridge. Happens every night, if I'm in the base area, the bridge and tower get attacked. Its kinda cool 😀
The thing though with having multiple bases is the limit of Flame Altars - there are 8 max atm. I use them a lot for exploring. Having 2 homes leaves me with only 6, and some altars I like to leave, like the one I have at a big cave with multiple mats including iron. Great video 👍
I took over all of willow crush. Thats where I have home town where all my guyshave beds, homes and shops!!! Willow crush is stellar. Place another across the broken bridge and refurbished the town. Currently halfway refurbished. Looki g good!!!
I'm the same and I enjoy the farming of materials and resources as well, but I could definitely see this being a great option for those who just want the combat and exploration instead. Pretty cool you can do this, many games wouldn't have the option.
This will be endgame for me. For now, I want to wait for more areas on the map to be released so I can decide on the most beautiful spot I can find so I can build a beautiful base there.
I can save you some time .... IF you build your base on a already established area of buildings ... you have automatic shelter if you need it. If you break down the existing buildings in the area you get a TON of building materials to build with instead of having to farm for mats. I built mine from an old broken down town on top of a platueu only connected to land from 1 bridge. Breaking down the local buildings gave me around 30-40k limestone building blocks.
I put down a flame earlier today at Blue Goblin as I love the massive house, but i've also had my eye on the second one you showed. What I like about that one is as you say you can have a building for each NPC, and it's got a lot more land around it that is also fairly levelled already, where as Blue Goblin is on a hill and is nowhere near as flat with plenty of land. It might have to be the second one for me, although I think one of the little buildings has Shroud underneath it which you can't get rid of.
As other have said, you should have mentioned the starting comfort level of each of these properties as the goblin one you mentioned (which I also use) started at comfort level 32 for me. That's a nice 35 min buff!
Thanks, I enjoy seeing what's out there. I like building and so far I have two camps that I like enough to keep. I also have two camps that I built into the side of a hill and I have moved the flame, but the items I decide to leave can still be used. Someday I may try to renovate a home, there are a few of them I liked and I enjoyed seeing some of the options. Right now though, I move around so I make I'm closer to whatever area I'm trying to explore, a couple of places had the tent and bed, so I just set out my flame and use them while I explore instead of making a temporary camp.
The Homestead farming area is pretty good. You can build up the three houses and store room, so you have all three houses to utilize for one big area of operations. It helped me from lvl5 to lvl 12.
Awesome! I'd be down for further videos highlighting cool prebuilt spots like this for reclaiming. I found a couple homesteads I liked but am also looking to maximize the travel aspects of base placement. Both the spots I'd found were already close to a teleport flame or within a 15 second glider ride. Would prefer up high to gain another easy glider point (but still enough room for big base, or like the last place you highlighted very near lots of resources, chests, boss farms. TY
I LOVE that the game offers these kinds of gameplay turnarounds so it apeals to non builders, I for one love building but I know so many people that love survival games and hate building, it's just so cool this kind of feature is implemented. I know Valheim does it to a degree aswell and that's great, I think it's great that devs take these things into consideration.
The best base I've built so far is my floating fortress using luminous stones dead center in the map. If I need to go anywhere in the entire map, I just jump and glide using Ghost Glider.
@@stillsolo I was trying to reach the highest possible height you can place your Altar and it took me a day to find it. Another day to build a house but will expand soon. It's fun and you have a great view. Try it!
@squalltheonly you need 2 altars and some stones to create more altars. 1. Place one on the ground and create ladders until you reach the maximum height. 2. Create a platform where you can place the second one. 3. Extinguish the fire on the first altar and remove all the stairs and platform you created until you reach the second altar. 4. Rinse and repeat.
This is valuable information, I am horrid at building in games and despise when i'm forced to embarrass myself. Being able to just (purchase) houses for bases. Very excited for the console release of this game!
This is a great way to look at the narrative of the game and really dive into the roll playing aspect. I can this really taking off with future updates/patches as well. Big props!
Thanks for sharing StillSolo. I just started playing, about thirty hours deep. I love the different biomes. I have just the main starter base, levelled up to 3 flame. I usually drop just a flame in a spot that is near a resource or loot and move on and I haven't been to the Blue Goblet or the farm you show. The latter one looks awesome. Subscribed :) Peace
Building into existing points of interest is pretty much how I set up all my bases in most survival games, best example is 7 Days To Die Still very new to Enshrouded so haven't looked into the base building much, but glad to hear you can do the same here.
Even bigger tip: Don't limit yourself to one base! There are several settlements with already ready and leveled farming areas! All you need is a well and a few items, and a magic chest, minimal effort. Some of them are ripe with honey and trees as well. Making all that farming area around a place like the Goblin Inn is very labour intensive, and steals room for potential other cool additions to make this inn a truly cosy and unique home!
@@Derzull2468 You can summon them easily with the staff. Keep the farmer at the farm base, and the few times you need to stock up on meals or ingredients or something, just resummon her at the main.
I would recommend Rattlebleak its got prebuilt walls and some buildings, Ideal to build a base with walls, buildings etc. Plenty of resources nearby caves etc
I personally bilud a small hut to start,just somewhere to hang out, but Im finding i really enjoy restoring the houses along the way. I'm not that creative, so this is perfect for me😊
I'm like 40h in and I started to take over buildings from day 1. Right now Im living in a bad ass 3 story tavern that has a well right next to it and some good locations for xp farming. So far it's my personal favorite.
I had similar sort of reasons for basing like this in 7 Days to Die. I enjoyed the idea of being a survivor, and fixing up a dilapidated house and making it my own. That and the building pieces matched up with the in game houses. So any change I made felt "in universe."
i agree. some people are not creative or don't have the patience to build their own cool base. the game offers a lot more for people to enjoy, so the possibility to take over a place and fix it is great. as for myself, i'm going all autistic in base building and spend most of my time on it and just need my "own space" for the creativity. but that is what i really love about enshrouded. it gives you a choice. can't think of any other game that does this!
It might also be kind of fun to take over a place that's clearly too small, put in an unobtrusive basement stairway, and build a giant warren underneath it.
I used the underground desert surviver camp it's a lvl 1 un upgraded secondary camp. If you put it in the middle center chamber the 2 side chambers still respawn all the crops.
I chose a base on one of the farms. It is located high up on a level area east of Hillock on the map. It has a large, stone barn that is fully intact which I'm converting to the Blacksmith's shop on the inside, and the carpenter's area on the outside. I upgraded the size to lvl 4 witch gives me plenty of space to expand the farm to the south and big section of the towering cliffs on the north side. I will eventually build a small stone castle up on the top of the cliffs. I have the stone stairs up there almost completed. I'm tunneling into the cliff face to build a large "underground" area for the Alchemist and will give it a "hide-away" atmosphere. The devs posted that they are working on adding in snap points on all prexisting buildings. Right now it's a pretty manual task to fit new blocks into existing walls, roofs, etc. which makes it more time consuming.
I did this pretty late into my playthrough. I'm considering doing a new run. Going magic instead of sword shield. And also going slower, and taking over multiple of these spots along the way for fun. the place i ended up rebuilding is in the desert just south of the big shroud area called umber hollow. and east of a vukah camp. its not a marked poi. looks like a circle on the map
I built one at the top of a tower. Some klicks north of the start. It consists pretty much of a stairway to heaven. But i consider taking over "Bembelschenke". Its a Tavern in the west with original hessian "Bembel", big Stonejugs for "Äppler" (Applewine). Quite familiar for me, living near Frankfurt am Main.
So instead of people being creative and being imaginative you are just saying to be lazy and take over a building. There is more reward to the mind if you build something and are happy with it even if it looks like a dirt shack.
Some people might find that rewarding and some might not. Everyone plays differently. I for one didn’t know this was possible so I’m glad I came across this video. If that makes me lazy eh 🤷🏻♀️
I made my base on the mountain over the queen's tomb, made a huge castle and a village, fill with dirt the visible part of the tomb and grew a forest, but I like the idea of restoring ruined villages
Tahts literally the very first thing I did when I started, looked for a place to takeover. And btw, there's an Inn that at basic it gives you 24 confront level, so with little to no effort uncan get 40 min rest Edit: commented before he started go through his list, I meant his first position actually haha
This is great to know, I just started and hate the blocky base building. Will take forever to make anything but this option is great. I only got an hour into this game and I'm already considering dropping Palworld for it.
I was going to do this as well, I really like how that place looks. Place the various crafting NPC's around it like they are staying there at the tavern as well or getting drink. Make the alchemist or the farmer the bar tender.
Crazy your first recommendation i instantly put a fire down when I saw it such a great location. Haven't found another I like since but. I love something up real high in the clouds 🤣
Didnt know you could do that. I just use the altar flame as fast travel points to points of interest like Harvest Homestead. It would be cool if you find like interieur pieces you have a a option like dismantle, use or pickup.
Lol I took over the goblet as soon as I found it. And I was lvl 5 so most of the building had stuff in it that I wasn't gonna be able to make for awhile. Or it would have taken me ages to build upto. I just terra formed the left and right side of it into farm land. It's whopping level 30 comfort is amazing early on.
Why does comfort level matter so much? I thought comfort was comfort in the game. I didn't even know there were different levels. I just thought it was one of 3 things needed to become rested
@@steveescher1554 you get more time out exploring the higher the comfort level. And the amount of stamina you get from just having the rested buff for 35mins will allow you to not have to go to base as often. And you also don't have to make pit stops to regain said rested buff.
Started getting much of the end of alpha stuff so I decided to make a new base with more of the fancy blocks, I think for location on the map the mountain top above the research camp is good. Its got quite a bit of space and its somewhat centered on the map. Its also high up with not many of the spires nearby so you can use it to get to a few places easier if you build a tower to glide from.
taking over a building is nice, we did that in our playthrough. But getting the grass/rubble stones off the floor is a nightmare and takes more time that just building the same buidling from ground up.
Blue Goblet is a great Building for Starters, but im in the Endgame now and have a more ambitious goal. I'm heading for Raven's Keep in the Barrens. A medival Castle build into a Mountain with big Stone Walls and an Iron Gate! Don't know how much of the lower Floors i can fit inside the Altars reach, but will try my best.
Haha, I started playing a week ago and just yesterday I thought it would be cool to take over a building for a base and the place I chose, simply as I'd just found it and thought it was so cool was The Blue Goblet Tavern!! What a great stop haha@
This would be really fun to do if you're playing multiplayer as you could build/rebuild a community. Everybody could have their own home with communal areas like the blacksmith, farms etc. As a solo player though I would prefer to just make my own base though. I'm planning on making a floating wizard tower.
I really wish they do persistant servers like other games. Think of rust, or conan. Id love to see multiple people get on 1 server and all build a base that stays there even if they log off.
I love building places. I wish we could restore buildings without putting down a flame. When I was younger I love to build real stuff jut since I got sick I build in videos.
@@steveescher1554 No, not at all. The building in this game is super great, Im just not into it. Its the best building of any of these games like this by far.
I had a strange senario happen pretty early for me and I have some theories. I placed my first base in an area with ruins with the intent of doing exactly what you recommend in this video, repair it at make it my home. The weird part is that as I improved my alter, I reached a point where, even though assets were inside my building zone, they would reset every time I reset the server. My theory here is that even if a way point is inside your base, it will still reset within a certain zone. I would like to know if you have any evidence against this theory so I know whether it is a bug on my end or if it can be replicated. While on one hand that does suck, on the other, I can pick up things like refined wood without having to make them and have them respawn, making it easy to get that refined building resource. Just wanted to know your thoughts if you are obliged.
It’s like saying screw building a base and just move into a village on Minecraft, if you have a hard time making bases look nice, your probably thinking too hard, sometimes the best builds are built off the top of your head in the middle of making something basic, start with a big cube and add on more cubes or circles or whatever and just decorate the walls, just be patient with your builds and tryn and place yourself in the world rather than going off a set image and don’t be afraid to tear down everything and start over again, I used to make dirt huts on Minecraft and now I’m told that I copied houses off UA-cam (which I don’t) and I slowly figured out small things that help builds look better, but they all start with basic cubes or circles, yes Minecraft is a whole different game but “Grian” yes I spelt that right, gives good tips on building tht can span across different games like adding depth to your walls by adding pillars and planter boxes under windows etc and don’t be afraid to go “excessively” big
Appreciate the video however, a good part of my fun experience with this game is actually gathering resources so I CAN build, but you make some good points, I'm only about 22 hrs into the game 😁
Willow Crush is not bad either. It's an entire little village with some bigger and smaller houses to fix up, plenty of ressources around and space to farm.
Man, the number of times I've come up to some ruin or existing building in ARK (particularly the Ragnarok map) and Conan Exiles and wished I could repair it!
What is your favorite place to build that you have found so far?
There is a place called homestead that I found an underground hatch that I blew open and dug out an underground base at.
I'm fixing up the Blue Goblet Inn. It's a beautiful building with more than enough rooms so that each NPC can have a room.
When I first walked into it I thought "Why not just use this place?" And so I am.
@@exodusjosh Great location
@@toshikotanaka3249 Yeah its super cozy. I hope we get more npcs that can populate it

The most fun I’ve had with this game was crafting a castle on a hill with a longhouse on the side with a dope basement that leads out to a cliff opening
I restored Harvest Homestead to its former glory, easily the coziest spot on the map rn. I have it up to 55 comfort I believe, and converted all the wood floors to palm wood. Currently working on a desert cave base seated on top of a mountain in Kindlewastes.
Harvest Homestead is perfect. Adding the cathedral in just makes it even better.
Did you get the crap off the floors? I spent an entire day cleaning the floors logged in the next day...trashed again
@VixenMadness yeah so what you need to do is use the first line tool and clear all the original floors out with the remove function then replace them with your desired floors. The bits of rubble all over the place are part of the original "ruined" floor so they can't be destroyed with a pickaxe without removing the actual floor.
@@nullw8768 What do you mean the first line tool? I cant figure out how to remove the old rubble floors.
me too, i use it as a farm. i repaired the shed next to the main house and i use it for crops and vegetables as storage. and i use the fields. You can remove all that wich reminds you of death. and its a nice home. The only downside is the enshrouded area nearby but other than that.
I haven't played that much bc I don't have a lot of free time. I never realized we can take over a building, this is a game changer for me. I still want to get into building but early on I prefer to get stronger and explore rather than grind materials and make a lame building. Thanks for sharing this!
It's all I've done rather than sinking hours into a base build before I've unlocked everything - easy peasy.
The game content is not that much atm, it may seem a lot but you will run out. So don't be sorry to take your time. I just basically ran out of content, just have a few spots on the map that aren't tottaly discovered. But I think I've finished all the quests, found about 95% of all lore/documents etc. And have 4 achivements left which are basically light all the shrines and way points in 4 diferent areas.
But I've heard we'll be getting more content soon, so excited for that.
I can tell they wanted this to be an option to do, I’ve noticed that pieces will form to the broken parts to make it look “better” on mine. Makes me feel like I’m actually fixing it
i mean... isnt a phrase of the game "rebuild" or "reconquer" ? Would make sense that this is a thing :D
I took over and rebuilt the big church at Woodguard/Harvest Homestead. Giant church, lots of farmland and a big ass house. Its a great spot
love it!
Same thing I did! I restored the entire ceiling and replacing most of the old block with different ones. The only issue I am having is replacing the sidewalks outside of it. It won't let me replace them without going over the top of the old one. Unless I go one brick at a time. Which I'm not sure I want to. Haha!
I started doing this once I realized some of the buildings already had max level comfort.
I started working on a massive mage tower. Several floating structures, leveled out a mountain and then reformed it to create a floating island for the tower to sit on. Made a lot of good use out of copper and glowstone for that runic vibe as well as the city block stone and shroudwood for the main materials.
Dude that sounds crazy good , upload a walkthrough of it
Pics? / Video? ...
i would love to see that bro
I took over and fixed the Harvest Homestead, best base for farming and it's cozy as hell once repaired.
Ironically, my first base was Woodgard and it's tavern. It is a bit too close to the shroud, but it makes for imo a great "staging ground" for shroud cleansing. I tore down the church to build a castle tho.
Showing where you put the alter in each of these areas would be helpful to see as well. Thanks for the tips!
I found Peaceful Acres to be a good homestead spot. There are a lot of different resources nearby, like string from spiders. shroud wood and water, salt, flintstone and soem red trees that have a higher chance to drop resin nearby. It's got lots of land to plant crops and a small shed I use for my mushrooms. the home it spacious but did need a little remodelling. for some reason the 1st floor had like two halways really. I took out a wall and now there's 2 rooms downstairs with ample room for all my crafters. There is also a small bit of shroud nearby with a decent chest nearby to farm and as well as a flame shrine. All in all a good homestead that will hold until you get to the desert region.
Where is that one? Never mind I found it. I was looking for settlements on the map, not farms :)
@@JohnVanderbeckIt’s just North West of the starting base location. I may be wrong about this part, but I think if you travel west from the starting base and do the first little grapple wall climb thing to the left of the first big bridge you see, then just keep heading down the paths up there for like 20 mins, you’ll come to it :)
Sunsimmer Southterrain is one my favorite POI's. It has that Tatooine vibe with it's underground gardens in the desert, reminds me of Luke's uncle's moisture farm.
The Blue Goblet had me taking screenshots and using it as inspiration to build a massive inn. My inn is much bigger (which takes ages to build) but I absolutely love it now that it's coming together.
Pics pics pics
I completely renovated The Blue Goblet. Fixed everything. My current home and love it.
I'm working on moving to the blue goblet now it's my 3rd base move I'm doing it because I love the building and layout. Plus resources are great around it
@@Hooligoon-Hāfu That's my idea. As soon as I found it and checked it out, I wanted to find the Building Pieces to fix it up properly and make it the home base for me and my Crafter buddies.
Doesn't the Blue Goblin have a higher tier chest you don't want to block?
I found blue goblet inn on accident and fell in love with the idea of taking it over so tried and yay. I fixed it all up and commented on a couple of these videos about it before i realized there is videos about the place and it is like number 1 in places people are taking over . the comfort level without having to build anything was a big plus . my main base is still in the starter spot and i have a lot invested in it so is still the main . i just discovered Rattlebeak yesterday and set up a flame right by it . I didn't think about making the whole little town mine and restore it but that's my next adventure after watching this :). thnx
literally me. lol
I have never played yet. Trying to understand first. So you’re saying we can have a base anywhere we put down a flame and then it’s a quick travel place? What is the max comfort everyone is talking about?
Blue Goblet Tavern,a fellow Revelwood area enthousiast.
Out of all the biomes,Revelwood is hands down the best looking enviroment to settle in or make your own base and funny enough Blue Goblet Tavern was my inspiration to try to make a bar kinda tavern vibe in one of my bases,
I've build that base on the hill to the right of Pikemead's Reach and altho I made myself a tower to just glide inside the boss room whenever,I found fast enough that there was a limit to how close to the walls of Pikemead's Reach I could build which sorta ruined the plans I had so I made majority of my base inside the hill and underground with a huge farm outside with an awesome view that half of it is on air standing on pillars.
Got it as close to realistic as I could have.
But the resources it took?Over 7k wood including planks I made,11k stone,4k flinstone,175 Bronze Bars and many other miscellaneous expensive resources to cap out my comfort around lvl 52 for maxium rest time bonus of 58 minutes.
It gets to the point that end game is just you farming resources to build bases and that's the whole motivation.
Me and my mate have done this on our server in southern revelwood theres a bridge that has a village on one side then a broken down stone town on the north side we claimed the stone town repaired the perimeter wall and most of the buildings inside then demolished one entirely and made it bigger to be our main comfort booster house its comfort is currently over 50 and we have 59mins of rested bonus. The flame at full level gives us a big enough parameter to build a large farm outside the front gate. All the houses are a good size we use one for the blacksmith and carpenter, one for the alchemist one for the hunter. The farmer is set up in the courtyard with covered roof walkways. It works great.
I started playing 4 days ago and this was my instant thought. To take over some place thats already semi built. I used westcot. it has a water well and one of the bigger houses was an easy fix.
what would be cool, is take over a settlement, and fix it up. Once a building is fixed up, an NPC moves in. Once it has walls, defenses, etc, you can remove the flame, and let the settlement support itself. Then, some time later, World Events happen where different settlements are attacked, NPCs killed, buildings destroyed, and you have to go liberate it and get it up and running again.
In the south of the desert is a sous-terrain, settlement that's just below the surface, which surprised me a bit when I found it since you rarely see them put into games with desert locations. They use the thermal mass of the ground to stay cooler in the day but warm at night when the temperatures drop.
I did this in one of the first places I found. It had everything I needed, crops water and good resources in the surrounding area. I never maxed out the flame for it though.
Blue goblin had me really wow‘ed when i first ran into it
Its great isnt it?
I had thought about this after seeing some of the little hamlets. I play a lot of 7D2D and I usually end up fixing up a decent house to be my base. For the first little while, I'll attach my horde base to it. I just didn't realize the flame stops the respawning in the area. Now that I know, this is definitely what I'm going to do! Thanks!
I like to do both. Build something of my own from scratch and then also take over a new place!
I respect your viewpoint you made some good talking points. I might do this for one of my bases, but I have to say as someone who really doesn't have much experience building I am having sooo much fun with my creativity their tools make it so enticing to do. I love too that you really can build virtually anywhere. I found a tall boulder, and I dug a hole out of the center and put a ladder through it, which is now the entrance to a base I built ontop of that boulder. Granted, no experience building it's not exactly a realistic supported structure, but it looks cool nonetheless I made it 3 stories and it looks kinda like a pirate getaway home. I love it
I agree. That's the draw for these kinds of games. An outlet for creativity and room to improve it.
I found a sweet spot just a bit West of the Gate to the Pillars of Creation, that has great harvesting potential.
The main thing it has is a bunch of those red trees for resin (about 75 resin in one harvest), but there is also a small spot to mine copper and a larger one (Glimmer Rock Mine) close by. It also has flax and and a lot of ferns to make string for bandages. It's right on the edge of a patch of shroud with an Elixer Well, so plenty of torn cloth and metal scraps, shroud liquid and shroud wood.
There is a fat, flat rock that I can jump up on with double jump, so it's safe from animals that can't jump and if anything follows me out of the mist. I plopped a Flame Altar on top and made a Romanesque looking base on top with stairs to the roof so I have running space to launch from. When you tele in, you are underneath the the structure, with an unobstructed view all the way around except for the stairs going up to the only floor.
I used door walls with no door all the way around, except for the small section in the back for the bed and fireplace.
I used the mycelium block with a space between each wall so it looks kinda crumbling. It's a WIP and I think I want to use some of that glowing block for trim.
One thing Valheim has over this game is the ability to make diagonal floor tiles and walls, but it's still in early access, so hopefully they will fix that. I'll definitely tear down this base and put an octagonal structure on top.
@@y0nd3r that all sounds really awesome, and I'll have to check out that one spot with all the resources that sounds great! Thank you for sharing and happy Enshrouding :)
The absolute best place I've found to rebuild has been Harvest Homestead. It has multiple buildings to restore for your NPCs, a great aesthetic, and a massive, already plowed field for planting. Just as an aside, you cannot replant in those wicker planters, which is a shame.
I also restored the Bounty Barn a small farmhouse with a plot of wheat. It's near a patch of Shroud, but I put walls around it due to all the prowling animals and it's not that big of a deal.
The third place I took over was this single tower base on a raised peak, with only a bridge to access it. It has a top floor that had the stairs knocked out, and is so cosy feeling up there (the floor is completely undamaged). That I just started looking for ways to repair it.
Great place
I rebuilt Lupa's Lair and posted the videos on my channel. Right now I'm working on Glenwood's End. This is one of the videos that kind of put me on that path. I rebuilt that tavern on a private server that I stopped playing on. I'm going to redo it on a new world though :D Thanks for the inspiration.
I took over the small desert town you showcased in the beginning! Rebuilt the walls and 3 of the houses, best idea ever!
That's awesome!
Smart ideal especially for those who either don’t have the creative know how or time to dump hours into a base.
The comfort bonus is a big one but to go against all those saying that doing this is lazy, if someone doesn’t want to build that is fine. If they do that is fine also.
A neat thing about taking over a settlement is then you can reimagine how you would. Make additions, add decorations, etc. really gives the different locations new life!
I rebuilt Glenwoods end, as my main base. love it. Each NPC has their own shop and home. Even put in a Masoleum. Now rebullding the church at Woodgard.
I thought so too but in the end, I have the one base where you first start (the meadow bordering Longkeep) and other bases build only the altar and workbench for fixing weapons because I move them altars around as I progress through the map.
This is exactly how I play as well. I built up the starter base and that's my home base and I just plop other alters down for fast travel and repairing.
You gave me a wonderful new perspective to view building from in this game. At first I was like, what's the point of having more than one base since you can fast travel to the spires already. But your take on revitalizing this world by "flipping" these settlements and bringing new life to them really enabled me to enjoy the building side of the game more. I love building in other survival games but wasn't feeling it in this game until I heard your perspective. Thank you!
Your welcome! I think it's really cool to restore old structures
This video inspired me to take over Thornhold and see if I can clean it up. Definitely a fixer upper lol. After removing a bunch of the wooden structures the stone walls and buildings have a lot of potential. Also got a pile of scrap metal from removing all of the cages!
Awesome!
Yeah the metal scraps, twigs, torn cloth, and wood logs pile up at an amazing rate when you go into renovation mode, which is just an added side bonus. I took over and refurbished/repurposed a dilapidated tower in the southlands just NW of Morwenna and one of the Carpentry Camps. It sets on a pillar of rock apart from the main cliff face, with a now rebuilt bridge spanning the distance betwixt cliff and door. There's Shroud and a Root to the south and west. When I took over the tower it was manned by 2 melee and 1 archer shroudbies (Shroud+zombies=shroudbies). I cleared them out, placed my flame on the second floor so as to encompass the whole tower in build area, then repaired the bridge and front door. Placed survivors and their equipment on various floors, even made a hanging garden around one of the covered balconies for the Farmer. By that time it was nightfall, and a whole mini-horde (6-10) of shroudbies came charging across the bridge, throwing themselves against the front door. So I went down and cleared the bridge. Happens every night, if I'm in the base area, the bridge and tower get attacked. Its kinda cool 😀
The thing though with having multiple bases is the limit of Flame Altars - there are 8 max atm. I use them a lot for exploring. Having 2 homes leaves me with only 6, and some altars I like to leave, like the one I have at a big cave with multiple mats including iron. Great video 👍
I took over all of willow crush. Thats where I have home town where all my guyshave beds, homes and shops!!! Willow crush is stellar. Place another across the broken bridge and refurbished the town. Currently halfway refurbished. Looki g good!!!
I personnaly perfer to make my own base. It's so much fun.
I'm the same and I enjoy the farming of materials and resources as well, but I could definitely see this being a great option for those who just want the combat and exploration instead. Pretty cool you can do this, many games wouldn't have the option.
This will be endgame for me. For now, I want to wait for more areas on the map to be released so I can decide on the most beautiful spot I can find so I can build a beautiful base there.
I enjoy building, game was fun but I finished it, now I can play it to just be creative.
I can save you some time .... IF you build your base on a already established area of buildings ... you have automatic shelter if you need it. If you break down the existing buildings in the area you get a TON of building materials to build with instead of having to farm for mats. I built mine from an old broken down town on top of a platueu only connected to land from 1 bridge. Breaking down the local buildings gave me around 30-40k limestone building blocks.
I put down a flame earlier today at Blue Goblin as I love the massive house, but i've also had my eye on the second one you showed. What I like about that one is as you say you can have a building for each NPC, and it's got a lot more land around it that is also fairly levelled already, where as Blue Goblin is on a hill and is nowhere near as flat with plenty of land. It might have to be the second one for me, although I think one of the little buildings has Shroud underneath it which you can't get rid of.
Yeah both locations are incredible. I think I might set up the tavern as my home but then the other location as my farm.
Just flatten all the land around Blue Goblet. Instant farmland.
As other have said, you should have mentioned the starting comfort level of each of these properties as the goblin one you mentioned (which I also use) started at comfort level 32 for me. That's a nice 35 min buff!
Yeah it was pretty insane
Thanks, I enjoy seeing what's out there. I like building and so far I have two camps that I like enough to keep.
I also have two camps that I built into the side of a hill and I have moved the flame, but the items I decide to leave can still be used.
Someday I may try to renovate a home, there are a few of them I liked and I enjoyed seeing some of the options. Right now though, I move around so I make I'm closer to whatever area I'm trying to explore, a couple of places had the tent and bed, so I just set out my flame and use them while I explore instead of making a temporary camp.
The Homestead farming area is pretty good. You can build up the three houses and store room, so you have all three houses to utilize for one big area of operations. It helped me from lvl5 to lvl 12.
Awesome! I'd be down for further videos highlighting cool prebuilt spots like this for reclaiming. I found a couple homesteads I liked but am also looking to maximize the travel aspects of base placement. Both the spots I'd found were already close to a teleport flame or within a 15 second glider ride. Would prefer up high to gain another easy glider point (but still enough room for big base, or like the last place you highlighted very near lots of resources, chests, boss farms. TY
I LOVE that the game offers these kinds of gameplay turnarounds so it apeals to non builders, I for one love building but I know so many people that love survival games and hate building, it's just so cool this kind of feature is implemented. I know Valheim does it to a degree aswell and that's great, I think it's great that devs take these things into consideration.
The beauty of being able to have so many bases is that you can do both.
The best base I've built so far is my floating fortress using luminous stones dead center in the map. If I need to go anywhere in the entire map, I just jump and glide using Ghost Glider.
Whaat?! Thats crazy!
@@stillsolo I was trying to reach the highest possible height you can place your Altar and it took me a day to find it. Another day to build a house but will expand soon. It's fun and you have a great view. Try it!
How can you build in the air?
@squalltheonly you need 2 altars and some stones to create more altars.
1. Place one on the ground and create ladders until you reach the maximum height.
2. Create a platform where you can place the second one.
3. Extinguish the fire on the first altar and remove all the stairs and platform you created until you reach the second altar.
4. Rinse and repeat.
@@erwincandelaria5438 Oh, altars can float. I get it now.
This is valuable information, I am horrid at building in games and despise when i'm forced to embarrass myself. Being able to just (purchase) houses for bases. Very excited for the console release of this game!
This is a great way to look at the narrative of the game and really dive into the roll playing aspect. I can this really taking off with future updates/patches as well. Big props!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing StillSolo. I just started playing, about thirty hours deep. I love the different biomes. I have just the main starter base, levelled up to 3 flame. I usually drop just a flame in a spot that is near a resource or loot and move on and I haven't been to the Blue Goblet or the farm you show. The latter one looks awesome. Subscribed :) Peace
Check out the tavern its really cool!
That is interesting 🤔 i was wondering if i could just take over a place since you can build that altar almost anywhere. Thanks for enlightening me
Building into existing points of interest is pretty much how I set up all my bases in most survival games, best example is 7 Days To Die
Still very new to Enshrouded so haven't looked into the base building much, but glad to hear you can do the same here.
Even bigger tip: Don't limit yourself to one base! There are several settlements with already ready and leveled farming areas! All you need is a well and a few items, and a magic chest, minimal effort. Some of them are ripe with honey and trees as well.
Making all that farming area around a place like the Goblin Inn is very labour intensive, and steals room for potential other cool additions to make this inn a truly cosy and unique home!
That would be true if we could have the NPCs in more than one place.
@@Derzull2468 You can summon them easily with the staff. Keep the farmer at the farm base, and the few times you need to stock up on meals or ingredients or something, just resummon her at the main.
I would recommend Rattlebleak its got prebuilt walls and some buildings, Ideal to build a base with walls, buildings etc. Plenty of resources nearby caves etc
I personally bilud a small hut to start,just somewhere to hang out, but Im finding i really enjoy restoring the houses along the way. I'm not that creative, so this is perfect for me😊
I'm like 40h in and I started to take over buildings from day 1. Right now Im living in a bad ass 3 story tavern that has a well right next to it and some good locations for xp farming. So far it's my personal favorite.
Don't really remember what it's called but its a bit west from Revelwood@@Odyssey636
We took over Woodgard and its amazing! We made the church our crafting hall.
I had similar sort of reasons for basing like this in 7 Days to Die. I enjoyed the idea of being a survivor, and fixing up a dilapidated house and making it my own. That and the building pieces matched up with the in game houses. So any change I made felt "in universe."
i agree.
some people are not creative or don't have the patience to build their own cool base.
the game offers a lot more for people to enjoy, so the possibility to take over a place and fix it is great.
as for myself, i'm going all autistic in base building and spend most of my time on it and just need my "own space" for the creativity.
but that is what i really love about enshrouded.
it gives you a choice. can't think of any other game that does this!
It might also be kind of fun to take over a place that's clearly too small, put in an unobtrusive basement stairway, and build a giant warren underneath it.
I love the architecture of this settlement, i'm trying to replicate it else where
I used the underground desert surviver camp it's a lvl 1 un upgraded secondary camp. If you put it in the middle center chamber the 2 side chambers still respawn all the crops.
I chose a base on one of the farms. It is located high up on a level area east of Hillock on the map. It has a large, stone barn that is fully intact which I'm converting to the Blacksmith's shop on the inside, and the carpenter's area on the outside. I upgraded the size to lvl 4 witch gives me plenty of space to expand the farm to the south and big section of the towering cliffs on the north side. I will eventually build a small stone castle up on the top of the cliffs. I have the stone stairs up there almost completed. I'm tunneling into the cliff face to build a large "underground" area for the Alchemist and will give it a "hide-away" atmosphere.
The devs posted that they are working on adding in snap points on all prexisting buildings. Right now it's a pretty manual task to fit new blocks into existing walls, roofs, etc. which makes it more time consuming.
I did this pretty late into my playthrough. I'm considering doing a new run.
Going magic instead of sword shield. And also going slower, and taking over multiple of these spots along the way for fun.
the place i ended up rebuilding is in the desert just south of the big shroud area called umber hollow. and east of a vukah camp. its not a marked poi. looks like a circle on the map
I built one at the top of a tower. Some klicks north of the start. It consists pretty much of a stairway to heaven. But i consider taking over "Bembelschenke". Its a Tavern in the west with original hessian "Bembel", big Stonejugs for "Äppler" (Applewine). Quite familiar for me, living near Frankfurt am Main.
Thanks for these cool spots. I will definitely scope them out and move in. Such cool areas to build off of
So instead of people being creative and being imaginative you are just saying to be lazy and take over a building. There is more reward to the mind if you build something and are happy with it even if it looks like a dirt shack.
Some people might find that rewarding and some might not. Everyone plays differently. I for one didn’t know this was possible so I’m glad I came across this video. If that makes me lazy eh 🤷🏻♀️
Taking something that is old and broken and fixing it can also be cathartic. There's a reason people rebuild cars in real life.
Some people don't care about that. I always build my bases in these game purely for function, so if there's a way to skip farming mats imma do it
I found a really cool big ruined house i took it as a challenge to try and restore it...
What's your favorite flavor of window?
I reclaimed Westcott. It's a small village, far away from the shroud and enemies. Make for a nice place to chill.
Awesome!
Would enjoy a series of someone going around restoring all the buildings around the map.😊
I made my base on the mountain over the queen's tomb, made a huge castle and a village, fill with dirt the visible part of the tomb and grew a forest, but I like the idea of restoring ruined villages
Tahts literally the very first thing I did when I started, looked for a place to takeover. And btw, there's an Inn that at basic it gives you 24 confront level, so with little to no effort uncan get 40 min rest
Edit: commented before he started go through his list, I meant his first position actually haha
blue gobelet is just fantastic for new players with space, a well, and a cozy lvl of 25 when you first enter it
This is great to know, I just started and hate the blocky base building. Will take forever to make anything but this option is great. I only got an hour into this game and I'm already considering dropping Palworld for it.
This option is fantastic if you haven't unlocked all the block types etc.
I found the Blue Goblet tavern and completely fixed it up, it's definitely going to be my main base from now on!
I was going to do this as well, I really like how that place looks. Place the various crafting NPC's around it like they are staying there at the tavern as well or getting drink. Make the alchemist or the farmer the bar tender.
that was me last night haha
Crazy your first recommendation i instantly put a fire down when I saw it such a great location. Haven't found another I like since but. I love something up real high in the clouds 🤣
Didnt know you could do that. I just use the altar flame as fast travel points to points of interest like Harvest Homestead. It would be cool if you find like interieur pieces you have a a option like dismantle, use or pickup.
The first little village you show, Ferndale, is where my base is. Great Little location.
Lol I took over the goblet as soon as I found it. And I was lvl 5 so most of the building had stuff in it that I wasn't gonna be able to make for awhile. Or it would have taken me ages to build upto. I just terra formed the left and right side of it into farm land. It's whopping level 30 comfort is amazing early on.
Why does comfort level matter so much? I thought comfort was comfort in the game. I didn't even know there were different levels. I just thought it was one of 3 things needed to become rested
@@steveescher1554 you get more time out exploring the higher the comfort level. And the amount of stamina you get from just having the rested buff for 35mins will allow you to not have to go to base as often. And you also don't have to make pit stops to regain said rested buff.
Started getting much of the end of alpha stuff so I decided to make a new base with more of the fancy blocks, I think for location on the map the mountain top above the research camp is good. Its got quite a bit of space and its somewhat centered on the map. Its also high up with not many of the spires nearby so you can use it to get to a few places easier if you build a tower to glide from.
taking over a building is nice, we did that in our playthrough. But getting the grass/rubble stones off the floor is a nightmare and takes more time that just building the same buidling from ground up.
This is a cool idea I do hope at some point you’ll be able to get the same blocks as the ones used on the pre fabricated building
Interesting insights, taking over a place or a couple might actually be intended :-).
Blue Goblet is a great Building for Starters, but im in the Endgame now and have a more ambitious goal. I'm heading for Raven's Keep in the Barrens. A medival Castle build into a Mountain with big Stone Walls and an Iron Gate! Don't know how much of the lower Floors i can fit inside the Altars reach, but will try my best.
Haha, I started playing a week ago and just yesterday I thought it would be cool to take over a building for a base and the place I chose, simply as I'd just found it and thought it was so cool was The Blue Goblet Tavern!! What a great stop haha@
Hope you enjoy it!
This would be really fun to do if you're playing multiplayer as you could build/rebuild a community. Everybody could have their own home with communal areas like the blacksmith, farms etc. As a solo player though I would prefer to just make my own base though. I'm planning on making a floating wizard tower.
I really wish they do persistant servers like other games. Think of rust, or conan. Id love to see multiple people get on 1 server and all build a base that stays there even if they log off.
I love building places. I wish we could restore buildings without putting down a flame. When I was younger I love to build real stuff jut since I got sick I build in videos.
Same.
More on this topic if/when you can would be great. I despise building in these games so thank so much for doing this.❤
That's crazy, I play to build houses/bases. Does the building mechanic suck?
@@steveescher1554 No, not at all. The building in this game is super great, Im just not into it. Its the best building of any of these games like this by far.
we hollowed out a volcano with the placing the blocks and deleting them so eneded up really dope!
I had a strange senario happen pretty early for me and I have some theories. I placed my first base in an area with ruins with the intent of doing exactly what you recommend in this video, repair it at make it my home. The weird part is that as I improved my alter, I reached a point where, even though assets were inside my building zone, they would reset every time I reset the server. My theory here is that even if a way point is inside your base, it will still reset within a certain zone. I would like to know if you have any evidence against this theory so I know whether it is a bug on my end or if it can be replicated. While on one hand that does suck, on the other, I can pick up things like refined wood without having to make them and have them respawn, making it easy to get that refined building resource. Just wanted to know your thoughts if you are obliged.
i used the same building in Ferndale
Added some housing outside for the crafters
I've thought of this before, but I prefer making my own place.
It’s like saying screw building a base and just move into a village on Minecraft, if you have a hard time making bases look nice, your probably thinking too hard, sometimes the best builds are built off the top of your head in the middle of making something basic, start with a big cube and add on more cubes or circles or whatever and just decorate the walls, just be patient with your builds and tryn and place yourself in the world rather than going off a set image and don’t be afraid to tear down everything and start over again, I used to make dirt huts on Minecraft and now I’m told that I copied houses off UA-cam (which I don’t) and I slowly figured out small things that help builds look better, but they all start with basic cubes or circles, yes Minecraft is a whole different game but “Grian” yes I spelt that right, gives good tips on building tht can span across different games like adding depth to your walls by adding pillars and planter boxes under windows etc and don’t be afraid to go “excessively” big
Appreciate the video however, a good part of my fun experience with this game is actually gathering resources so I CAN build, but you make some good points, I'm only about 22 hrs into the game 😁
Fair enough!
Great video! So cool that you can edit and build in POIs
It really is!
Willow Crush is not bad either. It's an entire little village with some bigger and smaller houses to fix up, plenty of ressources around and space to farm.
Man, the number of times I've come up to some ruin or existing building in ARK (particularly the Ragnarok map) and Conan Exiles and wished I could repair it!
finally someone who thinks like me! did this to a bridge for a 2nd base and my buddy just looked at my sideways lol
It is a fun option for sure!
is it possible to build palisades, fences, weaponracks etc ? cause that may be main reason to ocupy existing place over building your own
It's great to see how much Valheim and its building style has affected new games! It's really helped this game shine.
True
My friends completely redid the big church you come across relatively early. Woodguard I think?
This is a great idea! Love it
