Construction of a dwelling in Valheim is the most important step at the beginning of the game. In it, the character will be able to rest, cook food and create the necessary items. And on a personal plot, you can set up a vegetable garden and breed wild boars.
Building your base must start with collecting resources. One of the main materials throughout almost the entire game is wood. Beech trees are a reliable source, giving 20 units of wood after felling. First you need to create three things:
- Workbench (10 wood) – required for construction;
- Bed (8 wood) – needed to restore health and stamina;
- A bonfire is also necessary to restore and improve the level of comfort.
After collecting 40 more wood, it will be possible to build a starting house. The cheapest assembly, requiring the least amount of materials, will cost the player only 6 wood. Here you can place a bed and sleep under a canopy. To create you need:
- 2 thatched roofs (2 timber);
- 2 walls (4 wood).
Simple, closed design
To create a more reliable structure, already more reminiscent of a dwelling, the following components will be required:
- 12 walls (12 wood);
- 12 floor coverings 2×2 (24 woods);
- 4 roof slabs (8 timber);
- 4 roof ridge (8 timber);
- 8 thatched roofs (16 timber);
- 2 crosses (4 wood);
- 2 doors (8 wood).
To start construction, you need to level the surface, lay the wood floor in a 4×3 format, then install the long sides of the building, and secure the structure with the remaining slabs for the walls. Next, at an angle of 45 degrees, you should install the roof beams, and cover them with a thatched roof. The final element will be the installation of the doors.
Making and maintaining a fire
When lighting a fire in a room, there is a problem with the chimney, so in the first small house it is better to light the fire from the outside, near the wall where the bed is installed. To prevent the fire from extinguishing during the rain, it can be covered with a canopy using beams and a thatched roof.
To build a hearth inside the house, it is necessary to remove one floor covering, as well as make holes for ventilation, otherwise the room will quickly fill with smoke. For example, in a place above a fire, you can raise a section of the roof so that there is a gap through which smoke will escape.
