A Valheim player shares a helpful chart for roof building that includes various designs. Between fighting Trolls and Greydwarves, Valheim fans often make elaborate bases, and this chart could help fans with roofing their projects.
Valheim fans have shown off several impressive creations since the game was released, such as Dr. Strange's Sanctum Sanctorum, Thor's hammer, and more. Unlike some survival games like Minecraft and No Man's Sky, building in Valheim is limited to fairly realistic physics. While Minecraft players can comfortably place things in a variety of ways, misplacing a part of a Valheim creation can cause much of it to crumble. Because of this, all the creations need to be structured in specific ways, whether they're made for function or artistic expression. This Valheim player has shared a chart that may help others navigate the Viking game's complex build physics.
Reddit user TheDebateMatters recently shared an image of different types of architecture that can be applied to Valheim building. The chart is of houses of varying shapes and sizes, with each roof highlighted. The more basic the main level of the Valheim house, the more likely that a triangular roof will suit them, according to this chart. The top two rows of the roof image focus on simple structures, while the third row has unique shapes, and the fourth is focused on taller houses. The final row of this roof chart showcases various flat roofs that can be adjusted depending on whether a Valheim player has an adjacent structure or a lower middle portion.
Regardless of the Valheim structure, this roof chart provides a solution for shelter. Though Valheim doesn't offer any flat roof options, stone can be used as a foundation that wood can be placed on. The hidden stone won't degrade over time with the wood on top, making it a useful tool for the bottom row of the chart. To accomplish some angles, players will need to collect Valheim core wood to place log beams to ensure the structural stability of the roof. Unlike the buildings shown in the chart, Valheim players may also utilize the image to have an undercover area that uses beams to support the roof in place of walls.
Although the chart gives players an idea of how to make a few simple structures, the Valheim build options can be even more advanced. Valheim has a realistic build mechanic given that much of this chart is of houses that would look familiar in many neighborhoods.
Valheim is available now in early access for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
