Building

Building is a core survival system in Valheim. Players construct shelters, fortifications, crafting halls, ports, and entire settlements using a structural integrity system that rewards smart design. As you progress through biomes, new materials unlock stronger, more complex structures.

== 🏗 How Building Works ==

=== 🪵 The Hammer ===
All building is done using the [[Hammer]]. Structures must be placed within range of a [[Workbench]] (or higher-tier crafting station for advanced pieces).

=== 🧱 Structural Integrity ===
Valheim uses a structural stability system:

* Pieces must connect to ground or a stable support.
* Each additional piece away from ground loses integrity.
* Blue = fully supported
* Green/Yellow/Orange = decreasing support
* Red = at risk of breaking

Stronger materials extend build height and durability.

== 🪵 Building Materials by Tier ==

{| class="wikitable sortable"
! Material
! Biome Tier
! Durability
! Notes
|-
| Wood
| Meadows
| Low
| Basic early-game walls, floors, roofing
|-
| Core Wood
| Black Forest
| Medium
| Allows taller beams and support structures
|-
| Stone
| Swamp
| High
| Requires [[Stonecutter]]; strong defensive builds
|-
| Iron Reinforced Wood
| Swamp
| Very High
| Extends vertical stability dramatically
|-
| Darkwood
| Plains
| Medium
| Decorative black structures
|-
| Marble
| Mistlands
| Very High
| High durability and ornate designs
|-
| Ashwood / Flametal Structures
| Ashlands
| Endgame
| High durability, fire-resistant components
|}

----

== 🏠 Essential Structures ==

* [[Workbench]] – Required for basic construction and repairs
* [[Stonecutter]] – Unlocks stone building
* [[Forge]] – Upgrades metal gear
* [[Black Forge]] – Mistlands tier crafting
* [[Galdr Table]] – Magic crafting station
* [[Ward]] – Protects structures in multiplayer

----

== 🔥 Comfort & Rested Bonus ==

Building furniture increases your **Comfort Level**, extending the Rested buff duration.

Common comfort items:

* [[Bed]]
* [[Rug]]
* [[Chair]]
* [[Table]]
* [[Banner]]
* [[Hot Tub]]
* [[Dragon Bed]]

Higher comfort = longer stamina and health regeneration bonuses.

----

== 🛡 Defensive Building ==

As raids increase in difficulty, base defenses become essential:

* Moats and raised earth walls
* Stakewalls and stone walls
* Ballistae (Mistlands)
* Elevated entrances
* Controlled chokepoints

Ashlands raids in particular require reinforced structures and layered defenses.

----

== 🌊 Dock & Portal Design ==

* Boats require sheltered dock access
* [[Portal]] networks reduce travel time
* Portals cannot transport certain metals
* Use labeled portal hubs for organisation

----

== 🛠 Advanced Tips ==

* Use iron beams inside stone for hidden support.
* Combine core wood with stone for tall halls.
* Always cover crafting stations to prevent weather damage.
* Raised terrain is stronger than walls for defense.
* Plan storage rooms near crafting stations for efficiency.
