Stone is obviously stronger than wood, and it counts for full structural integrity, even if built to its max height.įor example, if you put down a stone floor and then build stone walls stacked three units high, then add a layer of wooden walls on top of that, the wood will be blue, its max integrity strength. With a 2x2 stone floor requiring 6x stone, it’s safe to say you’re going to be gathering for a while for even a modest hall. Aside from resource nodes, there are generally plenty of rocks lying on the ground that you can pick up and collect as well.

You’ll find plenty of boulders to break down with your pickaxe in the Meadows biome, but of course, you can also find stone in the Black Forest, Swamp, and Plains. For that, I’d suggest crafting a cart, equipping the bronze or iron pickaxe, and going harvesting. Now, all that’s holding you back is having the stone on hand to make your vision a reality. The stonecutter table gives you access to a number of stone building parts, including: Once you’ve smelted iron into an iron ingot - a crafting resource found in the swamps rather abundantly in sunken crypts - you’ll be able to build the stonecutter table. Iron leads to constructing stone structures, and stone is strong. Once you progress into the iron age of Valheim, however, it all changes. Thus, buildings are often limited in size, unless you get creative with supports. When building, you have to account for a few different variables, many of which I covered in our building basics guide.Īs a quick refresher, though, the more your structure grows vertically, the more the structural integrity of that structure decreases.

I'll also include tips and other bits of knowledge you’ll want in your toolbelt. In this building guide, I’ll cover what you need to know to start constructing your stone hall.
