Valheim: Top 10 Tips and tricks - Vetlive 

i swear this game is an architecture simulator disguised as a viking rpg

With Valheim just being released for console (and me being the usual designated architect of the group) I can't wait to really dive into the building and see what kind of awesome structures I can come up with. These tips are definitely going to be used.

Tip for smooth slopes... Stand on the low side, hold shift while flattening and aim progressively lower. This makes a smooth flat slope.

The snapping trick was new for me, and def. something i will use. Very helpful!

Thank you I am new to Valheim and was wondering how people were building these massive viking halls while I was living in a shotty shitshack held together by hopes and dreams. This will hopefully help me to build better structures, so again thank you.

Tip number 1.. the snapping trick.. i have almost 1300 hours on valheim and that one is new to me. I always sat down to lower the crosshair. Very nice. Tip number 3.. building basement last.. I actually do the opposite, but great for someone that doesn't build well (yet). Awesome video.

Legit video. Most Valheim YTers annoy me, but you were right to the point, your speech wasn't full of YT culture, and there was good video editing. Well jobbed friend.

I’ve just picked valheim back up to finish up me and my buddies endgame plains base we never finished and your videos have been so inspiring and also just relaxing man. Thanks for making these. My buddy built your blacksmith house last year and I just finished modifying/working on it 10 minutes ago, so this is pretty awesome timing.

I'm not a crazy builder, but I've spent a couple hundred hours. Somehow only 3 of these I knew, the first one is game changing

The builds you do are absolutely incredible and I am a huge fan of the cinematic building and showcasing of builds. It is great to be able to have these on in the background while working or doing anything really! I would say that, as a complete trash tier builder myself, I really enjoyed this video as well! I know that the two main issues with doing crazy builds like this in Valheim is that 1. They are extremely labor intensive with planning, building and editing and 2. Valheim has some sparse content drops as well. I personally would love to see you even go back through some of these videos and maybe do voiceovers where you explain just how you are creating some of these great features. If you do have the time, this could effectively "double" your video output (Say you release a cinematic, and the week after you release a duplicate video with the commentary, tips, things that worked and didn't, etc). But again, you would need the time in the first place haha! Either way, the caliber of builds on this channel are second to none, and I will always enjoy the fantastic content you all drop!

I just started playing Valheim a few weeks back. I'm so glad you're still playing and making videos, because you make really good content. Funny thing is that I live about 30 minutes or so from their studio. Turns out, it's very small group of local college students (about 5 or 6 people) that are developing the game. They've been shocked and by it's popularity ... lol. So it's why they may take a little more time to get new content out. And yes, they do have more content coming very soon. So, everyone be patient with them. I'm so impressed with what they're developed so far and going to be sticking with the game, one, because it's really good, and two, because I like the idea of supporting a small, home grown game developer. It's exciting to watch them grow =)

I started Valheim a while ago with friends and fell in love with building the bases. Your buildings are a whole different level of cosiness and I will consider your tips for my future projects. Thank you for this video.

Your video edits and building style are so smooth and clean. Love it

Thank you for what you do. I am new to Valheim and you've been a huge help. May first most good health and good things come your way.

I have to say, I LOVE when you and all of the other content creators basically throw down a gauntlet, as if saying: "THERE...I did this! Now you try!" Challenging the rest of us to come up with better and better builds. Essentially making us better builders just by trying to do what all of you do, You and the others always make it look soooo easy. lol Love the builds and if it takes you a while to build and edit the videos, take whatever time you need. Don't burn yourself out trying to force a video out. I will look forward to seeing whatever you put out. They're always amazing. Thanks for making us all better builders. Cheers!

Tip number 10 just broke my mind. It's such a simple solutino I can't faddom how I never thought of it before. I love your channel and your videos. The combo of music with no voice over and just the building process is very relaxing and easy to enjoy. Thank your for all the ideas and inspiration! keep them up!

Thank you! I've been struggling to figure out how to design a home and your suggestion to first make a frame is incredibly helpful!!!

Holy shit so many of these will help me immensely and most of them are super simple. I hadn't even considered how to build a basement despite wanting too several times.

Cheers for all the hard work! i've used a building of yours and then modified it into my own with extra rooms or a different layout in the end. Once i get a floorplan i can envision it how i want it to be.

All of your builds are GORGEOUS, absolutely gorgeous 😻😻 (first video of yours that I’ve seen, definitely subscribing)

Awesome tutorial! I really appreciate the advice for the basement. That is one aspect that has been a difficult one for me to overcome.

ive meshed together multiple of your builds in my survival world into my one large base, thanks for the content!!!

Tip 10, the way I describe it: it's not a bug that gets fixed by raise-ground; the terrain can only be moved so much up or down by the hoe from where it started -- if it isn't moving any more, it's gone as far as it can. Using raise-ground or pickaxe can then bump it a unit up or down, which the hoe then has a new margin for adjustments at that spot.

One thing i was never meant to be in life was a home designer and Valheim definitely shows me that.

ive played this game for a year at least now iirc and watched some vids bout tips n tricks and so on, but man i must say ive learned so much from your video and i cant wait to hop back on and start remodeling my houses and everything else. great ideas thank you.

I've played about fifty hours now, most of it has been building. I was having such a hard time, then I went to the black forest and smacked down a pine tree. Log poles have saved my life. Can't wait to unlock more and build even more grand structures! Thanks for the tips here, they're helping a lot.

Love the live commentey style video. Nice edition. Hope to see more good content from u and valheim. Ur buildings are a great inspiration and I learn alot.

Lovely video honestly, great job and congrats on 40k :)

Just got in to Valheim and these are best tips for construction I have seen so far. Thank you.

1:22 I’ve found that the change snap point function also works well, just point where you want the beam and cycle through the snap options by hitting “Q”

ty so much some good tips , i had started using frames after I saw you guys doing it makes it so much easier to see what you a re doing and I also use it if I am trying to plan out stone builds which I am still getting to grips with.

i am new to valheim and just past my 1st boss. i can`t express enough how this video help me a lot to make my house look better. instant suscribe

This was very helpful, thank you so much! And your buildings are just awesome! I watch them as an inspiration when I grow tired of woodchopping. 😅

That snapping point tip was so helpful... I have 640h in Valheim and I've never noticed that working

great video for first time players! I love building aspects of games, this was really helpful to get me ahead of the learning curve!

Great tips. The snap trick is cool. I think i just hold shift to get it to place then see after. Using the ladder one is one and only just recently saw it used in another video i watched yesterday with a longhouse. All together they will help greatly. yet to be honest, watching the vids is like relaxation therapy while taking it all in and seeing and understanding the creativity at work.

Just started playing valheim again and these tips are really helpful! Thanks for the tips

Seeing that first snappoint trick was like a religous experience for me. THANK YOU

Amazing video, so many sneaky and awesome easy tips. Sir, you've reignited my building spirit!

Thanks alot I was having alot of issues with a 3 story house. I didn't realize the iron beams should be used. Very good information. 👍

My Family and I just started playing this game and wow this is gonna make stuff so much easier. Thanks man

A new Vetlive video!!! It's like Christmas morning!

Just started this today and I'm blown away with just the building, almost got smoked to death as I didn't think I needed a chimney 🤣

i just started valheim a couple days ago and seeing how much you can do with the building system just blows my mind. so far i've been building very basic houses that just serve my basic needs of a workbench, bed and camp fire. i did however build a chimney in one of my houses. that's the most advanced thing i've done so far. :)

Love the tips and tricks and LOVE the builds you ve done

My buddy and I just randomly saw this game out on gamepass and decided to check it out. We are both pale ass white dudes with Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian bloodlines and figured “why not try it out” 2 hours in we were hooked. Looking forward to watching more of your videos as we create our own Viking world and bring new friends to our adventure

Very helpful i just finally gave in and bought the game... THOSE BUILDS ARE BEAUTIFUL WORK MAN... JUST GORGEOUS...

Man I've been playing the game for like 300-400 hours already and still learned something from this vid. You just earned a sub!

I love that skyroof thing, definitely gonna do it for my own build soon.

i now have an itch to completely demo my base. wonderful video👏

Just started playing this game. I'm blown away!

Thanks, especially for being straight to the point! Great tips

The snap trick along with flattening trick and the beam foundation are very helpful this video deserves some likes

this is brilliant and will definitely help me in building a home in the future. thank you for posting this!!

Very informative and fast, thank you for not making this video 2 hours long like everyone else do

Dude ive been self learning stuff but this just cleared up so many questions for me.

I've been into Valheim recently and really need tips for building stuff. This really helps! Thank you for making this video!

Absolutely love your channel & videos! Great buildings, great designs, no god mode, awesome cinematic views and OMG - that music...! Love it. Keep on going guys you are great 💙

Your builds are gorgeous. Thank you for the video

You absolute menace, thank you so so SO much I can finally start working on my dream house with these tips, I've been having trouble with building and getting things to not fall apart, this will take all the guess work and make sense of my messes XD

From someone who just kinda messed around with Valheim when it released, these look -FANTASTIC-!

dude. you are amazing. this was insane. im speechless. I must learn!

thanks for this and cool buildings. just finished my first so dont have much unlocked yet but this is gunna help me a lot going forward. especially the tips for building in the water.

You build great buildings and houses. Thanks for the great suggestions and tips.

This was a wonderfully helpful quick video - Epic loved it! Can't wait to get building!

Nice video ! I have to say i really missed your videos

Ohhh man I've been waiting for this one!

New to valheim, these tips are brilliant. Thank you

Your builds look amazing. great job!

Spent 4 hours chopping wood and framing my house last night. It actually helps way more than you think.

So many useful tips! thank you so much!

As someone who’s new to Valheim, and super into building, I found this video super helpful. Until now I didn’t have a good grasp on the whole terrain mechanic 😅.

Simple, straight to the point and very useful. Liked, Subbed and will be looking at your other videos soon!

Good tips will try this on my next build which is about to come up just need to find the right location for it

Thank you for the tips, all houses are amazing!

im so pleased your videos are back i have missed your captivating voice xx

Thank you so much, this was so helpful!

I never would of thought to use the ladders as a skylight. Great ideas. I will be sure to use some of these in my next build. Thank you for all the tips.

I love you vetlive your builds inspired me to play this game

The best valheim video I've seen. Thank you!

A quick and detailed video, I feel like even if you were a Valheim expert there was still a tiny bit of new information in each point - GREAT video. Subscribed.

These are actually amazing tips.

The snapping tricks was the most useful, I'm planning to build a big dock house/ storage shed, so I'll use the snapping trick and the ladders in the water

Awesome vid I use all you tips to make my builds just built one too

That dock is super nice!! Would love to see a build video

I worked out getting a cauldron to work over a hanging brazier(with a spice rack, even). For out in the field, I think the campfire over an iron beam method might be better, since less resources to carry around for it and wood is more readily available as a fuel That aside, the snap trick and leveling bits are quite handy. I will have to remember them.

You have a voice?! OMG! lol Love this video and the tips. Your builds are always so impressive. Good stuff!

These are some great tricks, thanks for posting them!

Thx for the tips and your great content as always.

Great video and tips. Thank you.

so many good tips here! thanks!

Such a great video thanks for the tips

Bruh… this was friggin dope. I just started playing Valheim on Xbox and just made my first legit house (not a janky one-room cabin) last night. This is super helpful! Thank you!

Thanks these are so helpful!

the beat at the end moved me

Thx so much just moved to pc from Xbox and saw Valheim was on gamepaas, was getting frustrated with the build mechanic this helped alot.

Tip 7 is solid gold. Great idea. Tip 10 as well!

Great video, thanks!

i love the voice over video, keep doing them!
