We continue on our batch of guides to start well in the world of Valheim, with this section dedicated to the construction of your first house: builder's advice, household benefits, etc., there are a lot of little things to do.
Prerequisites
Here is everything you will need to build yourself a worthy first home in the tenth world:
- A Workbench, which you will have to place under a roof in order to craft the Hoe, necessary for terraforming.
- The Hammer.
- Wood, lots of wood.
- A little patience, to get used to the construction tool.
Craft and Build Your Home: Tips
To start building a house, lay a Workbench, which will determine a buildable perimeter. Then take the Hammer, right click and go to the construction tab. Most basic items only cost two units of wood per unit.
- Do not forget that you can destroy and recover the resources of any element thanks to the Hammer: a click-wheel of your mouse and presto, it's erased.
- We recommend that you find somewhere on the Plains biome to build your first base. A clearing, so you shouldn't have too many obstructions.
- You will need space to put down chests, beds and other workshops. We recommend a construction of at least 5 floorboards by 5.
- If you want to put a campfire in your interior, it cannot be placed directly on the floor. Break a plate with the hammer, then put it down, but be careful, as we will see below, certain conditions are unfavorable for an indoor fireplace.
- Be careful, therefore, not to use a roof with an angle of 28 ° if you want a closed habitat. If your house is too tight, smoke will build up inside and suffocate you.
- By passing the Hammer over an element of your house, you will see its durability gauge appear. The latter can then be repaired with a single click.
- Don't forget to mark your home on the map: open it, click on the house icon, then double-click on the location of your base (you can name it).
- Do not get too attached to your first building: later, you will have access to much more resistant construction materials and will be obliged to set sail for new horizons anyway.
Moment Stéphane Plaza: for the house in the image above, we have a surface area of 5 by 5, a single wall level and two roof levels at 45 ° topped by roof ridges at 26 °. At the front and at the back, two wooden walls of 45 ° and finally two wooden crosses at 45 ° also.
Advantages of a house
- Shelter, that goes without saying: bad weather and cold affect your regeneration of health and endurance, it is important to have a roof over your head.
- It's a classic since Minecraft: placing a bed in your home will serve as a spawn point in the event of death and sleeping in it will make the nights pass.
- Resting State: Drastically improves stamina and health regeneration, in proportion to your comfort level. At comfort level 5, a 200% boost applies while you are at home.
-
Fit State: By perking up at home, you will gain another regeneration bonus, which will normally last beyond 10 minutes. when you are "in good shape" your HP and stamina regeneration is boosted by 50%. We recommend that you have this bonus with you before going to face the boss Eikthyr.
