Sidenote for people who really want stone: find one of those dilapidated castles and bring your stonecutter. Break its foundation and watch the whole thing crumble. Boom, free stone.
The best way to farm stone is those giant stone pillars in the plains. Pickaxe the bottom out so its floating in the air. If it doesn't immediately crumble, keep taking away the lower pieces until it all crumbles. It takes about 5 minutes to chip it all away but you'll get somewhere around 300 stone.
Liked and saved. Thank you for not abandon the game when hype disappearing, and still experimenting. You gave me useful tips. Maybe I could figure these out myself in time, but your experiment and opinion have high value. And of course, I personally would like to see a stone castle from you.
About flat ground. Just lay down a wood floor plank first and snap in the stone floor to the height of the wood plank. This will be much more forgiving to land that isn't perfectly flat. With black marble using the 4x4x4 square cube instead of the 4x4x2 floor piece is even more forgiving. Also, I like the look of stone over the marble, but if you want a wood floor over the stone floor, using marble looks much better as it won't clip through the wood floor like stone does. Also building completely in Marble leaves rooms that are hard to brighten up. Stone is best for a room that looks more confortable (but makes no diference for the comfortable bonus in the game).
Oh mannnn, i'm a straight dude, but a channel who knows not only what crenellations are, but merlons? I'm in love lol great videos though. I've never played valheim and I'm not big on survival games, for example I only play minecraft on creative mode and use it as a kind of 3D painting program. Since I've never played valheim and don't want to go through the hours and hours of gameplay until I get to a point where I can make a castle and town and palace etc, these tips are very helpful for me to get right to the buildin : D
If you just want to play creative and skip the rest of the gameplay. Look up how to activate developer tools and you can unlock everything to start building straight away ☺️
@@TotalXclipse Ha thanks a bunch man I was already doing that actually : p the game does look more fun than Minecraft, and I'll probably go back and try it. But I've noticed there are 3 billion items I can spawn with cheats, would it be worth continuing to write these all down or is /god /debug mode and /ghost enough to get me through to all the craftable stuff quickly enough ya think?
Would love to see your version of stone castle build Total. I just finished a greydwarf nest farm using wolfs, and it looks to be working and fully automated at this point, past having to add raw meat to the breeders. Maaaaannnn so many wolfs
Just finished building my new main base, built around a greydwarf auto farm, using wolves and a breeder setup. I also have a boar breeder. I have to keep culling animals as it eventually kills the frame rate. Plus the constant".......AAAWOOOOOWOOOOOOOOOO........." I find that if you build a roof over the spawner it halts spawning and resumes when you remove it. It's basically an on / off switch for the auto farmer. Also putting foundations under it does the same.
@@schroedingerscat2.054 Oh man I cannot imagine having my main base around the wolf breeders, I have to mute my game when I portal to my nest farm from all the howling. Usually if the population gets out of control, I cull a few and take away their food and that's fine. I'm using a design where I can just place the food on top of the breeder and they both eat, easy to place, easy to remove. Working on a 2-star boar breeder now in the pen I originally made for wolfs at my main base.
@@JamesTheVikingGames It is a bit noisy but they're just singing me the song of their people. I also basically have unlimited free wood,stone ,resin etc. i can fill around eight basic chests with each in an hour or so. i'm also slowly filling my moat with wolves so it's only going to get worse. Also the spawner looks amazing as the centrepiece to the base. it sits in a cutout section of the floor and is visble on all three main floors. This, however makes the wolves a must unless I want the greydwarfs to run wild downstairs. I like the feeder idea, My first boar breeder can sometimes be a pain in the arse with trying to get the food to land on the floor.
I found you because I am finding building with the paper mache (aka stone) blocks very frustrating!! Thanks for the help, I would love to see a video of a full size castle!
Another funky protips: 1. Rise the ground for even higher building. 2. If you plan to do wooden beams alongside the stone then make sure these are the CoreWood and are attached to the ground for stability. 3. Remember to ALWAYS start building with CoreWood beams (frames method) it will allow you to plan your builds with stone way easier.
I want a "Stone Wall 4x2 with a 2x2 return left and right" build piece. Then I can lay up a 4x2 wall in running bond and it will look right. As it stands, you can only have corners that overlap 1/4 of the length, and unless you plan everything out on graph paper beforehand, it won't come out right.
Search info on the "Bronze Age." But basically, here's what you should do. 1. Explore black forest for burial chambers. Mark any copper deposits you pass by on the map. 2. Search burial chambers for surtling cores. 3. Build a smelter and a kiln. 4. Make bronze 5. Kill the Elder Boss. You can find his location on the map from runestones in the burial chambers.
To be fair. Building with Stone always causes me to do it like the "professionals" do with real buildings. I mean the logical aspect of placing them like that. IRL if you simply stack it up, it would collapse. So there´s only one way to do it right.
Actually, "stack bond" is an acceptable method in real life, but it's not used much anymore because staggered joints are required to achieve a fire rating. However, "running bond" allows greater height.
Love your vids, just Subbed! Wondering how the hell you're getting these timelapse shots, are you using a second steam account and system to watch you build? Like that second character is in your server and is in freefly?? If so, well done man that's so much effort haha If not, tell me your secrets! I'd love to try and do this myself! Thanks buddy.
Hey, glad you enjoy the content sorry took so long to respond your message was held for review for some reason. But yes I use two copies of the game and use free fly to record on my main pc and build on my laptop 🙂
@@TotalXclipse no worries at all man! Ooooh 2 copies should I do itttt, or think I might have to these Timelapse shots are just so damn pretty 🙈 my laptop would JUST play the game with decent frames so maybe I’ll downgrade graphics on that and record on main gaming pc, thanks for the tips man, and fair play for going to that amount of effort, that’s not easy!!
I'm truly having troubles in grasping how the iron pole work. I couldn't keep on scaling high with my chimney even with the iron poles, and i was much lower your level....🤔

Side note, when grinding metals other than iron, save stone, it's a stupid amount
@@biggpurrs5236 This! ^
Oh that's a good shout! There's a couple near to my main base i'll get to doing a little recycling!
@@biggpurrs5236 I know this is late but I've thrown some stacks of stone before but I just got to iron and i have 2600 stone
Another idea, bring your pickaxe and undermine the whole thing - no need for stonecutter.
A small river, barely knee height
Me: walks trough.
TX: this *demands* a highly refined stone bridge!
:D it was just an example ;) plus the debuff stinks! :D
9lll
till you bring your pickaxe and terraform the whole place into the amazonas river

Personally I thing using your hammer on the random castles in bf and Mt bioms is pretty fast also
I would also argue that getting a troll to whack copper deposits is quite satisfying and effective to gather stone.

Already my favorite on satisfactory, now my favorite on valheim. Keep up with the good work dude!
Hi Sir, after wacthing your video and bought the game. Nice video. your words are very detail. Keep it up
I wish we had basic rowing boats, just for rivers and such, that bridge looks functional but in valheim isn't so much at the moment.
The brick style wall will be used thanks looks a lot better

Building with "stone tips".
Thanks Total! Inspiring, as always.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
I would really like a guide on what do do after defeating Eikthyr. There are lots of getting started guides but none helping me find what to do next
Search info on the "Bronze Age." But basically, here's what you should do.
1. Explore black forest for burial chambers. Mark any copper deposits you pass by on the map.

him: im working on a wooden castle
me: hasn't, even fought the first boss yet
Hey bud, your voice reminds me of a cool rocker that was famous for a while in a awesome band. All the names escape me. Cool tips thanks.
You called em Crenalations... imho that's a first lol subbed.
🤘🤣👍
tsk tsk we all know the proper name for them is 'castley bits'
@Jonathan Gibbs hahahaha.
Ya I don't think I've seen many other vids name them correctly!
Castley bits works though lol
The full circle has never worked for me. I do the 2 blocks, turn one tick, do 2 blocks, etc. When I get to the last block, I always have a small gap.
3:44
MACHICOLATIONSSSSSSS!!!
The exposed wood beam - it will deteriorate over time and rain effect right?
Some will, like on top of the wall, but it still looks cool. It'll only deteriorate to 50%
if it is connected with a stone, then no (it has to be on top / side of the stone)

Iron doors and then put stones in it is Most effective
Love your videos man keep up the great work

Put an iron gate in the middle of your stone walls
I take it you didn't watch to the end :D
@@TotalXclipse there is a trick where you remove certain gates that resets stone to blue...
Is it just me or do you sometimes say durability when referring to stability?
I’m don’t have any stone tips. Where do I get them or do I break them off of existing stones somehow? /joking
Stone Castle please.
Please:)
I would love e to see hearths placed on mtiple floors
Guide should just be "get 20 billion rocks, cuz you'll need that many."
I found a mountain biome. I dug it up.
MACHICOLATIONS!!!
nice, ty
I feel like horses should’ve been in the game
Who needs horses when you have lox to ride
Chanting Castle..Castle..Castle..
Please Build the great wall of china
So is it impossible to have stone or black marble floors on a 2nd floor??
It is possible! But you'll have to use wooden beams for support
So, I was hoping I could just stack up stone walls. But every time I get about 6 high it crumbles. Tried embedding core logs but it didn’t work
Try reinforced iron logs
@@TotalXclipse so if the logs are vertical and touching the walls do they give stability?
I tried this with core logs and it didnt make any difference.
hi
This stone arch bridge is the ugliest thing I have ever encountered :D
Anyone know how to avoid the curved and deformed look of stone that happens sometimes?
i don't know why, but that cynical drawl makes me think of an old youtube channel called fitzthistlewits
is this where he's been all along
Was really hoping this would've explained stone floor building/stability. Buuuuut you skipped right by that after mentioning it lol k byeeeee
