warning, dont fall down the center of the stone core. you get stuck lol i was pretty far out in the water and had no ground to stand on and i died in it
Haha, I’m sorry to hear that! To be honest, I had not even considered this until your comment. It may be useful to place wood floors over the gaps.
Man it would be nice if they would just let us swim and build under water. Actual max use of the swim skill. All I've even used the swim skill for is picking up serpent meat and swimming to the stairs when I fall off the dock.
Underwater swimming is a great idea. I think it could work really well on the game too!
I edited my valheim plus mod so swimming doesn’t reduce stamina. It’s how the game should be
that cart trick! 🤯🤯🤯
It deserves all the praise! It is by far the best way for building into deep water!
That trick with the cart in water is fantastic and I love that thank you very much
You are very welcome!
++ for cart surfing
The best building technique in the game!
@@phinqs agreed!
Nicely done! I really enjoyed your easy explanaitions and step by step instruction. I just got to the Mistlands, so the black marble has been a bit of a challenge to say the least. Thanks for the tips.
Thank you! I am really glad you found my video useful. I think that building with black marble can be hard as it is different from any of the other building materials which you have used up until that point. I am sure you will become an expert with more practice!
Pushing the cart into the water for footholding is a genius idea - it opens up a whole lot of possibillities. I need to try this out ^.^
It is a very useful tip that not too many people know. I’m sure you will find it useful!
that cart technique is wondrous!
It is by far the best way I have found to build into deep water!
Raising the sea floor works pretty well if you are having a problem getting into deeper water. I built an entire sea wall with this method and patience.
Yes! This is definitely a viable option too. Thanks for sharing!
Yeap, using the hoe to build it up is great. I've built some docks from raised walls using this.
@@ALLOFTHEBOOST It is definitely the most stable way to do it. Although, I keep it to a minimum personally as I don’t always like how it looks. It is about finding a solution that works for you though! There is no right or wrong!
Being just about to build a grausten dock, this is a timely video. Nice inspiration 😁👍
I had a lot of people asking about my updated dock build. However, it is not quite ready yet so hopefully, this will suffice in the mean time! Thanks for the support!
tysm for the tutorial, i was trying to make myself to build the dock but the "building on water" bit felt more like a chore than a fun activity, now that i know how to do it i can aproach it better
No problem! I am happy to help. I used to feel the same about building on water but managed to work out a way that works for me. Nowadays, I quite enjoy it!
That technique with using the cart to reach snap points down low is a gem. I'd read a few posts hinting at this ability, but hadn't seen it actually work until now. Thanks!
I hope beginners aren't put off at the start with how you started with a stone base. I just use the hoe to do a squared off section of raised earth into the water to get started. Easy to do and doesn't require swamp level abilities.
Great survey of tips and tricks! Building in water is much more difficult in Valheim sadly, but I do love the game overall. :)
Also love the grausten dock and how you did the end shelter with iron pit. I've been using bonfires (can see a long distance), but the design you've got is elegant.
The stone threw me off a bit but I suppose once you’re needing a boat dock you should be in the swamps anyways
@@flawless7019 - I don't wait :D
I start even with the veeeery slow raft at the start. Just hug the coastline to avoid serpents until you get the longship. The Karve can take a couple hits, but is still vulnerable.
I start my dock building at Meadows level with raised earth. I helps keep the Necks and Boars from trashing my boats. :)
Skall!
I have been sitting on the cart technique for a while but never got around to making a video including it. Thank you for sharing your tips regarding use of the hoe. I am sure some people reading the comments will find it useful!
You can start without the stone. I just wanted even spacing for the different material types.
Thanks for sharing!
Great shout with the cart, ingenious! I have messed about for so long building countless little floor pieces and falling off... Cheers!
It is a very useful trick to know! It is much easier than placing floors too!
I built a small furnace area at my base and realized that grausten arches are PERFECT for giving you that elven look. To me, it very closely resembles the Ayleid ruins from Oblivion.
Thank you for sharing. I will definitely have to try this out for myself!
That cart trick is totally new to me thanks 😊
It is not very well known! You are very welcome!
Wow excited for the Grauston Dock base build!
Appreciate the tutorial video! Great content as always 😊
It took me so long to create but I am happy with how it turned out. I am glad you liked the video. Thank you for your continued support!
Using alternate placement mode, you can make the railings look much nicer by placing them lower on the 1m pole on the sides. I personally love the way it looks and use for most docks and balconies I build. It can be tricky to line up well, but once you get one where you want it, it becomes a snap point and the rest is smooth sailing. Or smooth docking, as it were.
Thank you for sharing! I will definitely try this out the next time I build a dock, or possibly an aesthetic garden area.
@@phinqs Also you seem to like building tricks, and I just learned yesterday you can use the 26 degree x piece at the edge of a roof to have a 26 degree roof overhang the side of a building by one meter, similar to using 1m beams to do the same for 45 degree.
@@lancepeterson7997 I like the idea of this a lot. I will try it out whilst creating my next build!
you can walk across water in a cart? glad i clicked on this video. awesome.
Yes! Although, it is not a very well known tip.
I spent more than 2 hours today building a stone bridge. I wish I had seen this technique before :D the waves were teasing me because the part was too deep xD
You are not alone. I have spent hours trying to work out the best ways to build above water. It is a learning process!
@@phinqs it is 😅😅
That cart trick is using 100% of your brain. Thanks for the tip!
I am glad you found it useful. I will keep the tips coming!
The black marble one is 🔥
I agree. The black marble is probably my favourite arrangement! I need to make more builds with black marble!
That cart technique is genius
There are plenty more tips where that came from!
This cart trick is so great :)
It has helped me a lot when building on water!
Great video with wonderful insights in building.
Thank you. I am glad you found it useful!
honestly, first dock i ever built was enclosed with thatch roofing, big enough to hold the longship as that was the biggest boat at the time i was playing. with all the stone i had, i just used the big wall sections to make a u shape to hold the longship with enough space to get a cart in there for hauling ore out of the cargo hold and back to base for smelting. helps tremendously that i took the time to smooth and pave the terrain between the dock and the forge! how big is the drakkar, btw?
I like the sound of your dock. I really like building docks as I think they add a lot of character to a base. I would say that the drakkar is around twice the size of the longship.
Thanks Phinqsies! Gonna try in my new world. Enjoying Ashlands so far!
I am sure you’ll make a great dock! Thanks for your continued support!
Newbie: “build clipping”
Journeyman: “snapping”
Artisan: “merging”
Master: “Just pinch it off”
Grand-Master Artisan: “clip”
I still consider myself a newbie!
@@phinqs
Same here, except many others would disagree with both of us🤣
@@deathbreach3448 Perhaps! It’s all about practise with games like this.
Yaay! More Phinqs content! (Now if only he had more time to actually play . . . ) LOL
Haha, if only I could level up my character enough to tackle the Ashlands!
@@phinqs I am nowhere near that either!
@@nelsonhemstreet3568 We are in the same longship!
Great Vid, thanks for that I'm going to put this to use immediately!
Good stuff! I am sure you will make something great.
i hope after deep north they add more to the oceans and allow us to dive under water and use our tools down there. that would make building in the water SO MUCH easier. at least on pc you can get the mod that lets you make the boots of sinking but on console or vanilla youre SOL.
I use a build camera mod myself for building underwater, it also helps with building tall structures. But yeah, improving our interaction with water in general would be great. Right now it's just this inconvenient, dangerous thing at every level.
I have a feeling that the developers will revisit the other biomes prior to the full release. The game is great as it is but there a few quality of life changes that I believe could be incorporated to make it better. The interaction with the water is obviously one of those areas.
Thank you for sharing! I am sure there will be others reading your comment that will be interested in that mod.
Это потрясающе, как и другие видео! Обязательно буду пробовать, спасибо)
Thank you! I am glad you found it useful. I am sure you will create something impressive!
Luv the cart trick
It is the best way I have found to build structures underwater!
one of the needs for a dock is figuring out some way to get all that ore out of it. I make the dock low enough to the water that I can stand on the dock and access the storage, take all the ore out and have enough stamina food to walk overburdened to my ore room
You can also use a transfer chest next to the boat that can be reached from inside the boat and the dock.
I am unsure if your technique will work for the Drakkar as it sits quite high above the water. I normally make use of a cart to move all my items from the boat to my storage areas.
Yes, a transfer chest is always a good idea!
Wow this does look very cool, especially the black marble one. I will yoink that design to use and improve it in my world if you dont mind
Also can you make a video about lightning/torches in general ? Im having trouble decorating in and outside of my home
Of course, take all the inspiration you want and disregard the rest! Thank you for the suggestion. I will add it to my long list of video ideas and hopefully, I can get around to it at some point.
Great video! Putting some chapters onto the video would be great for being able to quickly jump to different materials
Thank you for the recommendation. I will update the video to add chapters! Although, some of my tips may be missed by watching the video this way.
Amazing video Thank you!!!
Thank you! I am glad you found it useful!
beautifull broooo good decoration
Thank you! I am glad you like it!
great video!
Thank you! I am glad you liked it!
Thank you for doing a water building video and not using the admin menu to fly around. I hate when videos do that
Thank you for watching! I agree.
Big Dock Energy™️
The drakkar demands big dock energy!
man that cart thing is the shit!
I couldn’t agree more!
Grausten Dock Base Tutorial please!
It is now uploaded on my channel!
Quite impressive
Thank you!
I love big docks
I will take your word for it!
What kind of build mod do you use? I noticed that it's showing that you don't have a workbench nearby, but it still allows you to build...
I do not use mods. However, you can use the in-game console commands to override the building requirements. The console commands are: "devcommands", "debugmode", and then "B" to active "no build cost". You can also use the "Hammer mode" difficulty setting to remove the requirement for materials, but you will still need to place the appropriate workstations this way.
@@phinqs Oh, I didn't know that was a thing. Stupid question here, but what is the step-by-step process from the beginning that I need to take in order to override the building requirements? I've never been comfortable with using console commands ever since I screwed up Skyrim when trying to use certain mods. Hell, I don't even know what button opens up console commands...
@@darthmeta6445 No problem. It is difficult to explain fully in one comment. I would recommend that you search for "Valheim developer console" on Google. There are a few good resources that will help to explain it better than I can.
@@phinqs Cool. Thanks!
Ok. That cart technique is straight up cheating lol. I love it.
I am exposing all my building secrets here!
i like how the "stone core" building style is lacking a stone core XDD
It saves resources this way, haha! I suppose it is more of a core tube.
thanks share this that is i need build idea
You are very welcome. Thank you!
the ground pilars are the best
They are definitely the best for structural stability but in my opinion, they are the worst for appearance!
@@phinqs What is definitely more important in Walheim is the durability of the structure, not its appearance. A paper fortress won't protect anything. Only solid ground walls will be effective throughout. If you build a solid fortress, you don't have to defend it against monsters at all. I combine ground walls with structures made of wood, stone and black marble (I don't want to change it to grausten). Thanks to this combination, I can build really huge buildings and fortresses - like a mountain.
@@robi2757 I agree. The ground made structures are great for defence but a combination gives the best of both worlds!
@@phinqs I will tell you how I build it, and you can consider whether it is worth using. I place an earthen pillar and cut it to 2/3 thick with a pickaxe. This wall pillar fits inside the two stone slabs standing next to it. By using this structure and adding iron-tied beams in the middle (every 2 fields), I can build huge structures, and the ground is not visible at all.
@@robi2757 Perfect. I will have to try this out. Thank you for sharing!
ty
No problem!
is that a modded ship?
Good question. The answer is no but it was introduced fairly recently!
It's amusing watching youtube valheim builders and their use of building shortcuts/features. Some never use anything but "auto," and fewer still never use Shift+MMB to quick select whatever building piece your cursor is over.
The ability to cycle through the snapping points has been a lifesaver. However, it has not always been a feature so older videos will all look like "auto" only! I must admit though, I don't really use Shift+MMB but I should probably try and get used to it!
👍
I am glad you liked it. Thanks for your comment!
Pippin?
Sorry, I don’t know what this means.
You can build a dock... but your frame rate will disagree...
I have never had any issues except with grausten. However, I think that has been fixed!
