Valheim Easy Build Home
Welcome to our Valheim Easy Build Home guide! An easy starter home you can build with just some wood and stone. Fit’s a bed, crafting table, chests, campfire, and cooking station.
Valheim Easy Build Home – Preface
Cozy and breathable!
Spend the night safe and snug knowing you’ll wake up alive!
Why do I need a fire inside my abode?
- So warm
- Rain will douse a campfire left outside
- Cook while you craft!
- Midnight snack
- Looks cool
Why do I need to leave parts of the roof open?
- If there is no ventilation your home will fill with smoke and you will suffocate in your sleep!
- You might see a bird
Valheim Easy Build Home – Pre-build Prep!
- Your first step is to gather 8 Wood & 6 Stone.
- Craft a Stone Axe and a Hammer.
- Next gather 31 Wood & 2 Stone.
- Craft a Workbench and place it anywhere
This next step is so you can craft a Hoe, a valuable tool which allows you to tamper down the terrain and create a nice flat area to build on. Since it is not possible to use an uncovered Workbench, we must first build a little Workbench hut.
- Build 2 sections of 2×2 Wood Floor
- Place 4 sections of 2×2 Wood Walls and 2 sections of Thatched Roof
- It should look like this:
- Craft that Hoe!
With Hoe in hand you may now venture forth and find some prime real estate for your new home! In the early game it’s ideal to have some water nearby for that sweet, sweet flint – but it really doesn’t matter. Just have fun! While doing this you can also gather the next round of materials.
⠀
It’s 104 Wood for all building pieces.
⠀
Optional:
- Campfire – 2 Wood & 5 Stone
- Cooking Station – 2 Wood
- Bed – 8 Wood
- Chest – 10 Wood
With the optional items the total is 126 wood and 5 stone.
Let’s Do This
You’re finally ready to build! Follow the diagrams in the pictures below and good luck!
Note:
You can make a impenetrable fortress easily with the hoe and lots of stones you pick up and raise levels to make a mound to build on… basically like tree houses except on cliffs.
When you stand on one spot and raise level under you, you go up pretty fast with 40 stone (4 stones for like 1 height gain equal to your knees, 4x that for your head height i think).
You need this cliff to be much taller than you, about 4x your total character height because trolls can attack the base and has a very wide swing and AoE (it’s not a issue if you aren’t anywhere near the black forest, and the monsters won’t pathfind to you unless you literally make a staircase that touches the dirt on the ground).
You can make it easy to enter by using raised dirt to make a jumping path into the building, or bridges.
