Thanks for all the support! I have recently created a community server on Discord. If you would like to discuss Valheim with other players, feel free to join by clicking this link: discord.gg/8n3MXGBmFB
It's been years but I still use this design every time for my central storage. If I start to overflow, I move some of the storage to a building dedicated to it (like a smokehouse for food) this build still holds up brilliantly years later, your channel is so underrated.
Thanks a lot for your support over the years. I still really like this build too. It is simple enough to recreate and pretty efficient regarding resource requirement.
I usually heavily modify building ideas to make them look better or be more functional but this is one I won't have to change at all! Awesome build thanks.
I’m also a huge fan of this little storage house for the same reasons. It’s minimal but gets the job done. I’m glad you managed to recreate it easily enough. I must be doing something right, haha! Thanks for your support!
This became the centerpiece for my work yard and I expanded off it's circular design to make crafting rotunda. BRILLIANT design. This works so well for inventory management and made an already amazing game much more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing!
It seems worse than it is since you will get all the materials back at a later date if you decide to knock it down. I'm glad you like the design - thank you!
I’m still clearing the area around the stone tower I’ve taken over atop the hill at the edge of the first Black Forest zone I found, with 2 copper deposits nearly touching the tower. I have built a huge house, palisades, now earthen walls, and have over about 20 stacks of wood across the field, with an equal amount of forest yet to clear, minimum. So I’m gonna easily build this store house and a teleport house for when I get to that stage next… This is nothing.
I've recently purchased Valheim during the Steam Summer Sale and needed storage. Your building not only satisfies my needs, it's aesthetically pleasing. Great job! Great building. It looks Nordic. It'll be quite some time, if ever, before I need more storage. Thank You!
I love to hear that my builds are actually helping people enjoy the game more! Thank you so much for your comment. I hope you enjoy Valheim, it is a great game!
The circular build is perfect for these types of spaces as you don't have to run around. Although I prefer a lower roof and adding in a brazier. Acts as both a light source and a fire source.
I thought so too, perfect for item management! Sounds great - my videos are for inspiration so people can take parts and change parts where they feel like it! Thanks for the feedback!
omfg this is so genius. it was also super easy to follow. I managed to make a two story version of it with a staircase wrapping around. thanks for this!
that is really cool, I was not liking those middle beams that were diagonal UNTIL I saw how you placed the boxes then it made perfect sense, definitely gonna build one of these. Nice job.
If I'm being honest, I was the exact same with the beams and I have actually built them both ways in the past. The diagonal columns are better in the end product, in my opinion! Let me know how you get on building one of these. I also just uploaded a video showing how it can be incorporated into a bigger build, if you didn't want it to be a stand-alone building. You can find here: ua-cam.com/video/T4aP_LPUEew/v-deo.html . Thanks for the comment!
It's very deceiving from the outside. It is probably my favourite build to date despite being one of the smallest. Thanks a lot for taking the time to watch and comment!
Thanks for the build tutorial! I’ve just built this in my world as my house storage was getting cramped and I wanted to accommodate for new items as I’ve not entered the swamplands yet, new player joining from Xbox version
Thank you for taking the time to type this comment. I'm so glad you enjoy my videos and the game. Since you've just started playing you have so much to look forward to! I wish I could experience it all over again.
@@N-cromancer Yes, that's true. I am definitely looking forward to it but I am not sure it will have the same feeling as sailing through the ocean for the first time!
@@phinqs Well to be honest I think Valheim nailed the feeling of discovery, and that is hard to reproduce on commande, but I have the feeling that Valheim is going to be the mojang killer. I think there are many more updates to come.
I like your stacking design. That said, to minimize running around I put separate 4x or 6x storage units close to my portal hub, crafting area, and kitchen. I also like to label each chest and combine items into a single chest, like berries, or mushrooms, meat, rations, etc., to reduce the total number of storage chests needed. Bulk items like stone or wood I tend to store either outside or in chests close to construction sites.
That's fair enough! I have used a similar method in a few of my builds but I must admit I do personally like these for my wood and stone as I don't like the wood/stone piles making my builds look messy. It's all down to personal opinion, I guess! Thanks for the comment!
@@phinqs Good point about wood and stone. A technique I've used to reduce the visual clutter of parallel stacked chests is to front them with one or more gates. With careful placement, you can get identifying signs to peek through the gates when closed. Makes for a tidy looking pantry, and you can always leave the gates open if you're busy storing stuff.
@@TheSonicfrog I also like this. I've done it in the past but recently I have not used it due to the small window for closing the gate after use. A great tip to make it look nice though!
Nice design! Thanks for showing your thought process throughout the build. I might now do something like this in a corner of a castle and make it a two level storage tower. Subbed.
Thanks for the comment. I have used something very similar to this as a room within buildings and it still works well! Although, never quite to two towers. It would be interesting to know how you get on!
When you started putting in the beams at around 7:00, I had to use the short beams since they snapped in a lot easier whereas with the longer ones, I had to delete stuff to get them in. Less hassle and looks the same anyways.
This is probably not a bad idea. It will definitely make the snap points easier to utilise. Personally, I prefer to have less joints so I use the standard wood beams and poles. I always say that people should adapt my builds to their own liking though. Thank you for the comment!
All the storage houses ive seen and personally designed, this is the largest and most compact ive come across All i did was change the design by making it a couple floors higher and it added a good 20 or so more chests
I really like the sound of your changes - I'm sure it is perfect for your needs! This is a build I also seem to go back to for early- to mid-game. It's so easy to build now that I have constructed it a few times. Thanks for your feedback!
...and then the ground begins to shake and the trolls come and demolish everything ;) Just kidding. Great build really enjoyed. Thanks for taking the time to walk through everything.
Yes, make sure to build it far out of the reach of trolls haha! Thanks so much for the feedback - knowing that people have enjoyed it was worth the time!
Idk why, but I like the mechanics of building in this one more than MC and 7Days, both good amount of play time in them since 8th grade till now (7 years roughly graduated). But it feels different obviously but not bad, could use its tweaks like any other, though. Very refreshing to play with the boys and we've loved it so far. The troll and serpent gave some great memories for the first time seeing it especially AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING ABOUT INCREASED SPAWN RATE ALONG WITH STORMS AND I HAD BOTH. Regardless, very much became a top5 in my library of games through life.
I agree. I love the building mechanics on Valheim. It is simple but complicated enough to be interesting. It is definitely one of the best games I have played in a long time. Thank you for your support!
I am glad you found the video helpful! I think everyone has a period of awful storage in this game - you're not the only one! Thanks for the comment. Let me know how you get on!
@@phinqs Copied it perfectly and I am very happy with my new storage. When I finally build a stone castle (I am only at Moder at the moment) I am going to use this as a template for a big underground thing. Thank you!
I am glad you enjoyed it! Let me know how you get on recreating it. Thank you for the constructive criticism - this is one of my older videos and I have actually already started to give a tour at the start of my videos because of a few people picking up on it. Thanks again for taking the time to write this out!
Nice! Yes, I’m a big fan of this design. In games like this, I always like to keep my loot in a shared location like this. It just works better with my brain! Thanks for your comment.
Thank you very much for your comment. I can appreciate that. In some of my other storage rooms I have gone for individual signage. I hope you managed to find a way to make it work!
The building mechanics are great. You can really get into the fine details, or keep the building to necessities only. It leaves a lot up to the player, which I think is nice.
Thanks a lot! I hope you managed to recreate it with no issues. If you want to discuss the game or ask questions about my builds then feel free to join the channel Discord server!
It's a neat idea. I think it'd be even more efficient if it was connected to the workshop/forge. Might be cool to have the workshop on one side and the forge are on the other with this storage area in the middle.
You're telling me I need to build an ULTIMATE storage house now, with all the workstations included? Challenge accepted. I was actually already thinking about this as a lot of people have said they like to keep their workstations close to their storage and not in a separate building. I'll have a think and try to put a design/video together for it!
I have used this idea in some of my personal builds but they have never seen the light on this channel. It works quite well but you have to create a bit of depth behind to make sure it doesn't stick out the back of the building for example. If you try it, I would love to know how you get on! Thanks for the comment!
@@phinqs built it and ITS AMAZING !!! I used those stand up torches and places them in between those holes where two square beams meet . Just enough space to tuck them in , gives plenty of light and looks amazing as well . Thnx again brother . I also subbed to your channel yesterday
Glad you got it finished! I appreciate the subscription a lot. The use of torches sounds like a pretty good idea, especially for earlier in the game when you don't have as much access to the resources for sconces.
I do a lot of exploring different seeds, and I wanted a dedicated "transporter room," or login/logoff room containing a lot of temporary/general storage. I think this design might be exactly what I need. Thank you.
I am more of a "galery" person (I make a 3 wide building with shelves on both side) but I also like it that way. Just a note on the snapping on full size wall. Seems now more than a year after video release you can just do it fine without the need of half-walls.
I respect that - it all comes down to personal taste! Thank you for the building tip too! They have added lots of nice quality of life features since I made this video.
@@babathedwarf I have seen this happen a few times with me too. I think that once you place the first one the subsequent bays start to snap to the same level. I am not 100% though!
I hope you managed to get it built. With regards to stability, try to incorporate support beams which shorten the load path to the ground. You should be able to build around six components off the ground before it starts to degrade. Also, make sure your foundation pieces are blue in colour, if not, raise the ground beneath them until they are. This will ensure you have the strongest foundation to build upon. Hope this helps and thank you for the comment!
looks really good, but only thing ill say is that chimney wont vent the smoke...it wont vent through a half wall gap, it needs to be a full block for it to exit properly, unless you already have enough room for the smoke to disperse. i built a huge cave base and rather than have chimneys i cut dispersion chambers into the rock to give the smoke particles enough space to fade. this way i didnt need chimneys to stop it getting smoked out. you actually dont even need to vent a chimney if the smoke particles travel far enough from the fire they automatically disperse. so you can build a chimney that looks like a chimney, functions like a chimney, but doesnt actually vent any smoke.
This is a good point. I wasn't actually too familiar with the smoke physics when I created this build roughly two years ago. To be honest, I wouldn't actually recommend using a campfire in this structure now. I would strictly stick to torches/sconces. You are absolutely right though - plenty of my "chimney" builds have actually just been large spaces which do not actually vent smoke. They are still just as effective! Thanks for your comment.
I would really like to build one of these storage buildings with the new spiral staircase in the center, so I could increase the storage height to ridiculous levels.
I´ve actually been playing around with that idea but have not yet decided if I want to make a dedicated build video for it. I think it is a really interesting idea though! Thanks for the comment!
I watched a different dude who made this nice looking roof for circular builds. I'm sure you already know that but if you incorporated that into this storage room 🤯
I have seen a few circular build videos that do a great job. This particular video is fairly old now and I have experimented with different roof designs for my more recent builds, which do look a little nicer than this one, in my opinion! Thank you so much for the comment!
42 Chests. round shape is rather involved compared to simple longhouse or chestwall. benefit is that you can reach all of them while standing in the center.
so simple but i've never thought of having a separate storage hut before! i'm guessing the little pigeonholes are too small for iron or black metal chests?
I like having separate storage houses but some people prefer to keep them close to where you will use them. I guess it's just personal preference. Yes, the holes are too small for iron and black metal chests. I tried to find a way to fit in the larger chests but couldn't find an aesthetic way to do it! Let me know if you have any luck. Thanks for the comment!
@@phinqs I just made it in my world and it's perfect. The building style would fit well in the village we are going to build so I'll be making a couple of these I think(^_^)
If you press Q while trying to place the item it will change the snap location. Makes it much easier when trying to get items just where you want them. Press Q again if that snap location is not working. I think there are 4 snap to locations per item?
This is good advice! The feature wasn’t available when I made this video so that is why it isn’t shown here. The number of snapping points varies across items!
Cool build but building it to any height might be a stretch. I built 5 rows high, yes I followed your plan but I will say the top was red, but that seems to be more of my own issue. Choosing things that Phinqs did not can have side-effects like my torches go out because I used low slanted then high and that doesn't work, I have not fixed it yet but I am hopeful. Also, 5 rows might be a bit hard on me, but I do like the idea of the storage. Another self-inflicted issue I have is I built a moat around my base which so far has worked great except unless I want to move my house the storage ended just over the moat, well close enough that the poles I put down anchored so in theory that is good, the downside is I started the build a pole off the ground, another sad face for me. Yes maybe I could fix it all with some steel poles but that wasn't the plan and it holds together at least until trolls start to toss boulders :) So many thanks for the design, now to try and fix my broken build.
It's all about taking the inspiration and making it your own! If you're struggling with getting the height you want then try replacing some of the wooden poles with reinforced poles to see if that makes any difference. Another solution might be to use a stone base around the bottom to raise the foundation level by a block or so! Thanks for the comment!
TBH, it looks OK from the outside. It does look quite good from the inside, though. But the thing is it doesn't seem to be efficient. You'll need a lot of resin for lighting as you don't have windows. You cannot put anything from the outside (e.g. to unload a carriage). It's too off-side from your crafting station to easy grab what you need, and you'll have to come in each time. There's lots of extra material to build it this way and lots of wasted space between the shelves. And you don't even have a lot of sings to indicate what's inside of each chest (though I believe that's solvable with your design). Anyway, thanks for the video - gonna grab a few ideas from it!
Thanks for your feedback! I agree with most of what you have said. However, this build is from VERY early in release and a lot of the additional building components that we have access to now were not available at the time. The great thing about this build is that it can be made right from the start. Since making this video, I have made several other storage house designs that might be more along the lines of what you prefer! Glad that you found a few ideas from the build though!
@@artyhedgehog No problem. In particular, my videos titled "End Game Storage House" and "Ultimate Storage House" might give you some ideas on layout and placement. However, I feel you may find the designs wasteful regarding materials if you are not overly concerned with aesthetics. I try to find a balance between both aesthetics and quality of life, as it is my personal preference, but I know that this order of prioritisation is not for everyone! Hope you find some value in any of the videos you choose to watch!
Loving your videos. However for this build wouldn't it be better to place the chests with the long edge against the wall? It is more space efficient and in the original layout there's a lot of empty space in between chests. You'll be able to fit in more chests + you'll actually have a bigger area to walk around since the chests aren't protruding out. Edit: 3 extra chests to be exact. 15 sides x 3 chests lengthwise = 45 Vs 7 sides x 6 chests crosswise = 42
Thank you for your suggestion! This video has been uploaded for over three years now and you are the first person to mention this. I think you could be right! I will have to try it next time I boot up the game.
@@phinqsHappy to help! However I think for general builds, it's still better to do it how you did. I also think it's dependent on the design of the overall structure; in my survival world I ended up just placing the chests crosswise, but without the wooden poles and just using the wooden floors for the shelves (to save on wood). And by compacting the chests together as much as possible you can fit in a lot more chests. However, I also believe an ergonomic design is just as important as just using every bit of space for chests to maximise storage space per area; i.e making neat sections with wooden poles, signs for classification, etc.
@@yue7507 I agree. Ultimately, the most important design is the one which you are happiest to use. If that means that players have to adapt my design or change it completely then I encourage it.
good video but smoke won't actually come out of that chimney. Smoke particles are the size of 1 entire block (1 full wall size) so all you will be doing with that, is trapping thre smoke.
Good point and something that I did not know when I was making this build. Honestly, I think it is best to stick with the sconces/torches as a source of light anyway! Thanks for the comment!
It is very frustrating isn't it? I made this video just before reinforced chests entered the game. I have tried to make changes to make it work but I haven't managed to find anything as nice as my original design. Maybe you can come up with something!
@@phinqs it doesn't look as good, but you can replace the top 2 chests in each row with reinforced. But then it's hard to get the front bar placed. I mostly gave up on those.
Thanks for all the support!

Yes, make sure to build it far out of the reach of trolls haha! Thanks so much for the feedback - knowing that people have enjoyed it was worth the time!
Great Tutorial, i do on my map and i love the result. Thanks!
Glad to here it! I think it goes really well as an additional room in a bigger building too!
that's impressive, thank you for the tutorial
Glad you liked it! I made this build almost two years ago and I still use it to this day. Thanks for taking the time to provide positive feedback!
Idk why, but I like the mechanics of building in this one more than MC and 7Days, both good amount of play time in them since 8th grade till now (7 years roughly graduated). But it feels different obviously but not bad, could use its tweaks like any other, though. Very refreshing to play with the boys and we've loved it so far. The troll and serpent gave some great memories for the first time seeing it especially AT NIGHT NOT KNOWING ABOUT INCREASED SPAWN RATE ALONG WITH STORMS AND I HAD BOTH. Regardless, very much became a top5 in my library of games through life.
I agree. I love the building mechanics on Valheim. It is simple but complicated enough to be interesting. It is definitely one of the best games I have played in a long time. Thank you for your support!
Brilliant! Thanks for the video
Thank you! I am glad you enjoyed it!
This was so beautiful i almost cried
I hope it was happy tears! Thank you for the comment, haha!
I made a circular hut for my sleeping area and this is PERFECT!!!!!
I am glad I could be of service! I'm sure your base is looking unreal.
Given a like 'cause I am totally stealing this idea. My storage could use this desperately.
I am glad you found the video helpful! I think everyone has a period of awful storage in this game - you're not the only one! Thanks for the comment. Let me know how you get on!
@@phinqs Copied it perfectly and I am very happy with my new storage. When I finally build a stone castle (I am only at Moder at the moment) I am going to use this as a template for a big underground thing. Thank you!
This is awesome. I've hit the SUB button. Thanks for making this vid
I appreciate it - big time! Thank you for watching. It means a lot!
@@phinqs Built this today.Thx
@@MumonguGaming Legend! I am sure you did it to above my standards.
That was a cool video! I’ll Definetly be making this! Also a small suggestion. Would be cool if you did a tour at the start and then showed the build!
I am glad you enjoyed it! Let me know how you get on recreating it. Thank you for the constructive criticism - this is one of my older videos and I have actually already started to give a tour at the start of my videos because of a few people picking up on it. Thanks again for taking the time to write this out!
Been using this design since valheim came out. Good to see someone else figured it out too
Nice! Yes, I’m a big fan of this design. In games like this, I always like to keep my loot in a shared location like this. It just works better with my brain! Thanks for your comment.
Brilliant little building that any player can create right from the get-go.
I am glad you enjoyed it. Thanks a lot for taking the time to let me know!
Great description and easy to follow. Personally I like to have signs over each box, so I will have to figure out how to achieve that :)
Thank you very much for your comment. I can appreciate that. In some of my other storage rooms I have gone for individual signage. I hope you managed to find a way to make it work!
@@phinqs Not yet, but I will :)
Super late to this but I'm surprised the level of patience you need to build in this game.
The building mechanics are great. You can really get into the fine details, or keep the building to necessities only. It leaves a lot up to the player, which I think is nice.
Thank you for all the help. This helps me focus my obsession 🙃😂.
You are very welcome! You will now have the most organised storage in all of the land, haha!
Thank you for the tips!!
Thank you for your comment!
Thanks for everything you legend
No problem! I am happy to help!
This is great :D I'll do that next session
Thanks a lot! I hope you managed to recreate it with no issues. If you want to discuss the game or ask questions about my builds then feel free to join the channel Discord server!
It's a neat idea. I think it'd be even more efficient if it was connected to the workshop/forge. Might be cool to have the workshop on one side and the forge are on the other with this storage area in the middle.
You're telling me I need to build an ULTIMATE storage house now, with all the workstations included? Challenge accepted. I was actually already thinking about this as a lot of people have said they like to keep their workstations close to their storage and not in a separate building. I'll have a think and try to put a design/video together for it!
Iam gonna try this today thanx dude
Nice, it's a really useful build in my opinion. Thanks for the comment.
Amazing tutorial and very awesome build. Thanks a lot!
I appreciate that! Thank you.
I would like to see this incorporated into a house. Might have to do half circles to make it work in a house. Would love to see some ideas.
I have used this idea in some of my personal builds but they have never seen the light on this channel. It works quite well but you have to create a bit of depth behind to make sure it doesn't stick out the back of the building for example. If you try it, I would love to know how you get on! Thanks for the comment!
I now use this every time I start a home base......thanks
I do the same thing, one of my favourite and most helpful builds in my opinion!
Nice simple geometrical arquitecture
It is not for everyone but I like it a lot! Thanks for the comment.
Great video! Thank you for sharing!🙂👍
Thank you and thank you for watching! Hope you got some value out of it!
Killer storage build
Thanks for that! It took some time to work out the details so I am glad others have found use of it!
My last world was deleted.
Making another one of these cuz theyre great
Sorry to hear that! I'm glad you like my build enough to build it again though.
This is amazing! Can’t wait to build one in my world
Thanks for the feedback. It’s great on its own or attached to another building!
This is awesome. I'm awful at building. Thanks for explaining
I am glad you found it useful! You can take some inspiration from my channel and become better at building. Thanks for your comment!
Thnx , nice video . I will try this today
Thanks a lot! Good luck with the build.
@@phinqs built it and ITS AMAZING !!! I used those stand up torches and places them in between those holes where two square beams meet . Just enough space to tuck them in , gives plenty of light and looks amazing as well . Thnx again brother . I also subbed to your channel yesterday
Glad you got it finished! I appreciate the subscription a lot. The use of torches sounds like a pretty good idea, especially for earlier in the game when you don't have as much access to the resources for sconces.
@@phinqs thnx again brother its a great storage room !
I do a lot of exploring different seeds, and I wanted a dedicated "transporter room," or login/logoff room containing a lot of temporary/general storage. I think this design might be exactly what I need. Thank you.
That sounds like a pretty cool idea! Hopefully, this build worked out for you! Appreciate the comment!
Late to the party, but this is really neat! I'll use that in my base.
Thank you! :D
I appreciate that. One of my favourite and most useful builds in my opinion!
My favorite part about this build is it takes exactly 420 wood to fill out the chest spots (42 spots).
You think this was a coincidence, haha? Good observation!
any idea how much wood to build the entire building? That would be a cool tidbit to add to other videos too!
I am more of a "galery" person (I make a 3 wide building with shelves on both side) but I also like it that way.
Just a note on the snapping on full size wall. Seems now more than a year after video release you can just do it fine without the need of half-walls.
I respect that - it all comes down to personal taste! Thank you for the building tip too! They have added lots of nice quality of life features since I made this video.
@@phinqs I checked again and could not reproduce so it is probably not fixed (I just wonder how I snap it in the first place 🤔)
@@babathedwarf I have seen this happen a few times with me too. I think that once you place the first one the subsequent bays start to snap to the same level. I am not 100% though!
looks nice and simple. I just started with this game and I always have issues with stability
I hope you managed to get it built. With regards to stability, try to incorporate support beams which shorten the load path to the ground. You should be able to build around six components off the ground before it starts to degrade. Also, make sure your foundation pieces are blue in colour, if not, raise the ground beneath them until they are. This will ensure you have the strongest foundation to build upon. Hope this helps and thank you for the comment!
I really love it!
Thanks a lot! I'm glad it was the kind of thing you were looking for.
looks really good, but only thing ill say is that chimney wont vent the smoke...it wont vent through a half wall gap, it needs to be a full block for it to exit properly, unless you already have enough room for the smoke to disperse. i built a huge cave base and rather than have chimneys i cut dispersion chambers into the rock to give the smoke particles enough space to fade. this way i didnt need chimneys to stop it getting smoked out. you actually dont even need to vent a chimney if the smoke particles travel far enough from the fire they automatically disperse. so you can build a chimney that looks like a chimney, functions like a chimney, but doesnt actually vent any smoke.
This is a good point. I wasn't actually too familiar with the smoke physics when I created this build roughly two years ago. To be honest, I wouldn't actually recommend using a campfire in this structure now. I would strictly stick to torches/sconces. You are absolutely right though - plenty of my "chimney" builds have actually just been large spaces which do not actually vent smoke. They are still just as effective! Thanks for your comment.
I would really like to build one of these storage buildings with the new spiral staircase in the center, so I could increase the storage height to ridiculous levels.
I´ve actually been playing around with that idea but have not yet decided if I want to make a dedicated build video for it. I think it is a really interesting idea though! Thanks for the comment!
I watched a different dude who made this nice looking roof for circular builds. I'm sure you already know that but if you incorporated that into this storage room 🤯
I have seen a few circular build videos that do a great job. This particular video is fairly old now and I have experimented with different roof designs for my more recent builds, which do look a little nicer than this one, in my opinion! Thank you so much for the comment!
Very efficient! Who new babies could build such efficient housing
I just shaved, god dammit!
thats beautiful
Thank you very much. I appreciate that kind of feedback!
42 Chests. round shape is rather involved compared to simple longhouse or chestwall. benefit is that you can reach all of them while standing in the center.
That's very true - the design is quite involved! However, the best things in life are worth putting in effort for. Thanks for the comment! :)
so simple but i've never thought of having a separate storage hut before! i'm guessing the little pigeonholes are too small for iron or black metal chests?
I like having separate storage houses but some people prefer to keep them close to where you will use them. I guess it's just personal preference. Yes, the holes are too small for iron and black metal chests. I tried to find a way to fit in the larger chests but couldn't find an aesthetic way to do it! Let me know if you have any luck. Thanks for the comment!
@@phinqs at the moment I half bury them in the stone walls of my tiny home but it's not aesthetic at all, lol
HOW DOES IT LOOKS SO ESPACIOUS FROM THE INSIDE AND SO LITTLE FROM THE OUTSIDE? Witchcraft
It is exactly that, witchcraft!
Nice vid bud
Thanks a lot - I’m glad you enjoyed it! Plenty more to come.
I built one of these last year before the farming/cultivator nerf. This is a nice variant though, wish I could thank the original creator.
It is me. I am the original creator. Thanks!
Lots of storage and it's compact:)
Thanks for the feedback! One of my favourite builds I’ve done, and definitely the most useful. Plenty more to come! :)
@@phinqs I just made it in my world and it's perfect. The building style would fit well in the village we are going to build so I'll be making a couple of these I think(^_^)
Love it!
And I love the comment!
It's a cute structure for the first biome or two, but quite limited storage capacity for the long-term.
Yes - you will need to expand this base eventually but that is all part of the game!
If you press Q while trying to place the item it will change the snap location. Makes it much easier when trying to get items just where you want them. Press Q again if that snap location is not working. I think there are 4 snap to locations per item?
This is good advice! The feature wasn’t available when I made this video so that is why it isn’t shown here. The number of snapping points varies across items!
Cool build but building it to any height might be a stretch. I built 5 rows high, yes I followed your plan but I will say the top was red, but that seems to be more of my own issue. Choosing things that Phinqs did not can have side-effects like my torches go out because I used low slanted then high and that doesn't work, I have not fixed it yet but I am hopeful. Also, 5 rows might be a bit hard on me, but I do like the idea of the storage. Another self-inflicted issue I have is I built a moat around my base which so far has worked great except unless I want to move my house the storage ended just over the moat, well close enough that the poles I put down anchored so in theory that is good, the downside is I started the build a pole off the ground, another sad face for me. Yes maybe I could fix it all with some steel poles but that wasn't the plan and it holds together at least until trolls start to toss boulders :)
So many thanks for the design, now to try and fix my broken build.
It's all about taking the inspiration and making it your own! If you're struggling with getting the height you want then try replacing some of the wooden poles with reinforced poles to see if that makes any difference. Another solution might be to use a stone base around the bottom to raise the foundation level by a block or so! Thanks for the comment!
Anything beyond 2 levels, consider iron, and after 3, most definitely
TBH, it looks OK from the outside. It does look quite good from the inside, though.
But the thing is it doesn't seem to be efficient. You'll need a lot of resin for lighting as you don't have windows. You cannot put anything from the outside (e.g. to unload a carriage). It's too off-side from your crafting station to easy grab what you need, and you'll have to come in each time. There's lots of extra material to build it this way and lots of wasted space between the shelves. And you don't even have a lot of sings to indicate what's inside of each chest (though I believe that's solvable with your design).
Anyway, thanks for the video - gonna grab a few ideas from it!
Thanks for your feedback! I agree with most of what you have said. However, this build is from VERY early in release and a lot of the additional building components that we have access to now were not available at the time. The great thing about this build is that it can be made right from the start. Since making this video, I have made several other storage house designs that might be more along the lines of what you prefer! Glad that you found a few ideas from the build though!
@@phinqs oh, thank for the hint - gonna check out the other videos!
@@artyhedgehog No problem. In particular, my videos titled "End Game Storage House" and "Ultimate Storage House" might give you some ideas on layout and placement. However, I feel you may find the designs wasteful regarding materials if you are not overly concerned with aesthetics. I try to find a balance between both aesthetics and quality of life, as it is my personal preference, but I know that this order of prioritisation is not for everyone! Hope you find some value in any of the videos you choose to watch!
Loving your videos. However for this build wouldn't it be better to place the chests with the long edge against the wall?
It is more space efficient and in the original layout there's a lot of empty space in between chests. You'll be able to fit in more chests + you'll actually have a bigger area to walk around since the chests aren't protruding out.
Edit: 3 extra chests to be exact.
15 sides x 3 chests lengthwise = 45
Vs
7 sides x 6 chests crosswise = 42
Thank you for your suggestion! This video has been uploaded for over three years now and you are the first person to mention this. I think you could be right! I will have to try it next time I boot up the game.
@@phinqsHappy to help! However I think for general builds, it's still better to do it how you did.
I also think it's dependent on the design of the overall structure; in my survival world I ended up just placing the chests crosswise, but without the wooden poles and just using the wooden floors for the shelves (to save on wood). And by compacting the chests together as much as possible you can fit in a lot more chests.
However, I also believe an ergonomic design is just as important as just using every bit of space for chests to maximise storage space per area; i.e making neat sections with wooden poles, signs for classification, etc.
@@yue7507 I agree. Ultimately, the most important design is the one which you are happiest to use. If that means that players have to adapt my design or change it completely then I encourage it.
I know what I'm bulding later today. ;)
Brilliant! It’s definitely worth spending some time to create a storage room you are happy with. Thanks for the positive feedback!
good video but smoke won't actually come out of that chimney. Smoke particles are the size of 1 entire block (1 full wall size) so all you will be doing with that, is trapping thre smoke.
Good point and something that I did not know when I was making this build. Honestly, I think it is best to stick with the sconces/torches as a source of light anyway! Thanks for the comment!
darn... I built something off this thinking that I could use fortified chests. dang. need to re-think.
It is very frustrating isn't it? I made this video just before reinforced chests entered the game. I have tried to make changes to make it work but I haven't managed to find anything as nice as my original design. Maybe you can come up with something!
@@phinqs it doesn't look as good, but you can replace the top 2 chests in each row with reinforced. But then it's hard to get the front bar placed. I mostly gave up on those.
