You can hide a ladder in the 45 allowing you to walk up. You'll see the steps poking out a little bit.
I am gonna have to use that! Awesome info, thanks!
When I needed to get up onto the roof to do some work on it during construction, I just bolted some wood floor sections on it to stand on, and tore them down when I was done, lol.
The stairs will also be hidden under the 26 roof slats!
Lmao I said that also
@@TwentyItaliansLS But stairs aren't needed for the 26 degree roofs, only the 45 ones. Unless I am missing some detail...
Roofing has been my #1 annoyance so far. I'm stabbing up greydwarves left and right without issue, but can't build an okay looking roof without wanting to rage quit! So thanks for this.
I'm glad it helped!
I am shocked how much I enjoyed learning about real life roof names
Lol, I know! I'm already thinking about more intermediate and advanced real life roofs to try and copy in Valheim!
Today on Viking's Health And Architecture...
A+ for having actual tips, and architectural nods in a concise video. Actually learned some stuff here that was great.
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
My smooth brain now understands what the inner corner pieces are for.
Glad it helped!
haha I was having the same issue
The real life roof examples were an awesome guide. Honestly, I didn't realize how helpful it would be to look at real life inspirations for Valheim builds. Devs really outdid themselves on their building gameplay
I’m glad the video helped!
9 year truss designer here... I approve this video.
Awesome, thanks!
I would love to see a follow up to this with more information about modular roof designs like on L-shaped houses and similar shapes!
This is a great video!
Working on a video about some more roof designs, I've got 5 I like right now, I will checkout an L-shaped design too!
Brilliant video, especially when explaining the angled roof beams and their lack of support! Thanks very much
Thank you, I'm glad it helped!
Started playing Valheim last week and I’m hooked! And you, sir, have been my guide. Love the videos, keep it up man!
It's a great game! I'm glad the videos help!
Seriously how the heck have you only got 500 subs? This was so clear, professional and informative.
Subbed and shared with my friends :)
Thank you!
He's almost doubled. Give it a bit of time, this dude is gonna blow up.
@@Moshthun Thank you!
Now almost 4x that at 2K subs.
Hopefully we see some additional options in the Hearth and Home update!
Agreed, I am excited for it! Serpent scales + resin to make shingles that have blue stability! :P
I’d love plain wood roof for making slopes without the thatch poking through everything, and speaking of which, it’s so annoying how the thatch clips through the ceiling and other things, i hope they adjust that
This is one of the best Valheim how-to that I have seen. I've watched a lot! Thanks so much!
Thank you, that means a lot!
Oooo Clerestory roof (option 2) could be a really nice chimney concept if I use the cross beam! Thanks for all the ideas!!
For sure!
Next up: "Pimp My House" by Quicksand Riggs.
So Another roofing pattern i tend to use is to use Two Inveted corner pieces, Placed so that their outer sides are touching a straight away piece, or a standard corner piece together to make a roofed opening to which smoke is capable of getting out.
You can also use stone flooring as a roof if you support it with iron beams.
That's cool! I'll have to cover some more advanced roofing at some point and include that!
Great video, its pleasing to listen to your explanations and the examples you were showing are great looking and a good fundamental
Thank you!
big tip on making a roof look really good on a higher house. Offset your roof tiles by half a block, (so you need an ridge for an even number of tiles) so that half a roof sticks over the edge of the building. Instantly makes it look better
Good idea! Might have to include that in a tip video, sounds like it'd be nice!
I just got done building a 16x16 storage shed and really could have used this video beforehand. Probably for the best though. I fought gravity until I figured out how to support the roof without a complete rework, and as a result I now have the best shed in the land.
Hard work pays off!
This was great! I just started playing with game pass a couple days ago. This has helped me a lot. Appreciate it!
How does this man know so much about roofs?
Helpful Valheim tips! Additionally, 45° roof matches the ladder stair piece perfectly and is visually subtle.
Good tip!
very clear and super informative video the irl examples and use of proper nomenclature is amazing great video man!
Thank you! I am glad the video helped!
Such high quality content, i cant imagine something like that.
Thank you!
Exactly the kind of video I was looking for! I was really struggling with roofs. Thanks so much for sharing! Excellent video!
I’m glad the video helped!
This was significantly helpful, my brain stops working when I get to the roofs.
Awesome, I'm glad it helped!
Excellent video! I appreciate the research into roof styles a lot! Subbed
Thank you, glad it helped!
BLESS YOU so much for making this video!!!!! roofs have been driving me bonkers, esp the inside/outside corners 😭
I'm glad it helped!
Years back, I took an architect course for a prerequisite. First month of the class we were doing roof design. I was way over my head when I played this game xD
Their integrity system really makes you think sometimes!
Excellent video man. I love this game but the roofing was frustrating me. Cheers for putting time and effort into recording, editing, all that. Thank you!
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
Thank you so much for this video. I was having trouble with the roof on my valheim house, and this video helped me rethink how to build it.
I’m glad it helped!
I rarely say this on TH-cam but.. great video. Great voice, well spoken, no wasted words.
Finally, a useful video about roofing..thanks man..keep uploading !!
Thank you! Glad it helped!
Yeah most other youtube video just talk about stability which most people already know
Thanks so much, this information saves me so much time and going solo I spend crazy amount of time just gathering things it is hard to get to my buildings :P
For sure! I am glad it helped!
Subbed as appreciation for your many great videos
Great clear info, thx for making👍
Thank you, I'm glad it helped!
Gable Roofing with a step up using the 2m or 4m beams/roof pieces look really amazing to me :)
Love the classic gable look!
This is exactly what i needed thank you
Thank you. Video is very helpful.
Oh my god, what an AMAZING VIDEO! Thank you so much for all of this, I'm new to this game and really LOVE building but sometimes I get stuck on a concept and can't see how certain pieces 'could' have lined up - UNTIL NOW! ...INSTA-SUBBED!
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
Suuuuper helpful video. Really well made and explained dude.
Thank you! I’m glad it helped!
I'm loving the building in this game, so satisfying! Great video thanks!
Very fun building system! And that's with less pieces than other survival games, if they add more it'll be awesome!
@@quicksandriggs Can't forget the fact that they don't penalize you for destroying a piece of building! Was shocked to see I got back all my resources when I destroyed a misplaced building piece. I hope they don't change this as it's come in handy so often.
@@Reptileman110 Very true! Maybe the best part of the building system!
Thank you for this video, big help!
I'm glad it helped!
This gave some great ideas!! Awesome!
I’m glad it helped!
Forget the Mistlands. I think the best add on to this game was the introduction of 26 and 45 degree wood iron beams. A builders delight.
Thanks for the helpful video! Subbed.
Thank you, glad it helped!
As an architect, i had to try to develop a "flat" roof design, like you see on more modern buildings. I found that if you hybridize a flat roof and what resembles a waffle slab(real thing!), you can make the appearance of a flat roof by only using interior corner roof pieces in a square pattern.
This way it still acts as a functional roof, protecting from rain and giving the shelter effect, but still has the appearance of a flat roof. Im pleased with the turnout"
Nice! You definitely have to get creative with some of the roof designs!
Teach me engineering without teaching me engineering. Talk about informative holy shit man
I always try and do the best I can, teaching stuff I don't really know! ;P
I just built my first house from scratch and I have a kinda ramshackle roof which means it didn't come out so well so the roof is patchy in places.🙄😄 But, it keeps the rain out.😆 I remember when I played the Itch.IO version of this game a long time ago, I used the 45-degree thatch roof pieces as ramps instead of stairs, hey, I might even start doing that again.😄Thanks for the tip on roofing...I just subbed.👍🏽😊
The vast options for building in this game with a limited number of pieces amazes me! I'm glad the video helped! Thanks!
Excellent content. Thank you.
I'm glad it helped!
Very helpful, cheers 🥂 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
Good video, I got a lot of inspiration from it :)
I’m glad it helped!
Very helpful. Thanks
Glad it helped!
roofing has NEVER been my strong suit in games like these; so much so I just use flooring to make the “roof” but that doesn’t work here so this helps out so much !!!
I’m glad I could help!
Man do I love the building system In this game!
It's my favorite as well!
I tried making a round house, where i turn the angle once every 3 blocks. The roof was a pain to make properly, especially the higher i went, trying not to have little gaps while also not making the clipping look bad. Was a challenge for sure but it worked out! Also the size the house gets matches perfectly with the heat range of a bonfire in the middle :)
Sound like the work paid off! I typically build octagonal because circle roofs can be a pain, octagons bring their own problems however... :P
@@quicksandriggs Definitely was a pain, but was quite proud when i finished it! I think making it 3 blocks at every angle was both a blessing and a curse, blessing because i felt like i had more to work with and it was easier to make it look pretty clipping-wise, but i also had to make two sets of pillars to support the roof because it got so massive lol
@@mathiaseriksen6600 Building in this game makes you get real creative, but it's a blast!
You've made the perfect youtube video, kudos
Thank you! Glad it helped!
yo this video is awsome! this helps soooooo much . thankyou mah boi'. :)

Tip for second row of circular roofs...
Instead of going around one at a time, build the cardinal points to form a cross and then fill in the gaps off them. Makes it both faster & easier.
Good tip!
Tip: Ladders are 45 degrees. They snap onto your roof for easy "walk up" access.
Build the roof you want. You can always add/remove ladders. I keep mine permanently on the roof - destroy the ones going up from ground.
ALSO: 45 degree roofs are EASY to walk on without ladders. Simply snap horizontal beams on the "undersides" of where roof tiles attach. Now you can walk on roof.
Good ideas!
You can also use the inner angle roofthingy to make a very nice looking window!
The inside corner?
Riggs is the only persons valheim stuff I watch from start to finish.
Next video all about foundation support and staircases? 👀👀
Great stuff as always.
What's you opinion on the potential for pvp In this game?
I'll start looking into foundation and staircase information.
I'd love to see pvp implemented more in the game, and not neccesarrily just for goofing off between friends, but actually allowing your dedicated server to be pvp enabled permanently so you can have attacks and raid against each other or have multiple groups racing to take down bosses first in order to advance ages. I am not a fan of griefers, and it is always hard to implement non griefing pvp into a survival game, but I love the thrill and challenge of player vs player in a healthy setting and environment. I believe games like Age of Conan and original Ultima Online had the best pvp systems because there was no toggle or dedicated servers, which means you have more people just playing the game and pvping when the moment called for it. Anytime a game dedicates areas, times or servers to pvp, you can guarantee its just going to pull out all the griefers.
Video about stability and a bit about staircases is out now, hopefully it answers some of your questions. Lemme know!
you are a beast bro good job
Thank you!
Can't wait for the flat roof tile.
It would be interesting to have some roofing that’s almost flat, it might have to require a lot of supports!
TY for this
For sure!
Well informed sir!!!
Thank you!
Thanks.
thx very helpful
Glad it helped!
Great Guide ! learned allot about roofing
You saved my life buddy
I’m glad it helped!
Thank you sir
For sure!
Clerestory option 2 is great for getting rid of smoke from a central hearth / brazier
Yeah, that's a good idea, those windows would excel at that!
@@quicksandriggs I've got one that a sort of combination, gambrel / mansard with 3 tiles of clerestory in the center for smoke. The way smoke works in this game drives a lot of creativity, which I think is great.
@@boggers The smoke system has been a blast! I think I've got 5 videos dealing with chimneys!
@@quicksandriggs I've been having a bit of fun trying to get everything in as small a room as possible so that the whole work area - smelting / crafting / cooking / storage etc. is all inside at comfort 17 without making more than one of anything except for a second fermenter
@@boggers Nice! I'm working on some compact minimalist bases too, tricky to get everything organized good!
Thank you very much! Not only my better at building in Valheim but I also got my online degree in architectural studies from university of Arizona. Just kidding on that second part
I’m glad it helped!
Very Good video, here! Tells us the terms, even. Slick.
Thank you! I'm glad it helped!
On my last boss and about 100hrs in and i didnt realise the corner roof tiles were for the 2 different angle variants...
I learn something new in this game like every day!
Little notes:
Rain is going vertically straight down. So whenever there is roofing above stuff/you, then it's safe from water damage.
Flooring panels do NOT protect against water.
Those X sections and inclined truss beams seems to be water resistant. But those plain horizontal and vertical beams (squire and rounded ones) are NOT water resistant and will degrade over time.
Agreed! Did I say flooring panels protected against rain in the video?
@@quicksandriggs No, sure you did not. It was just hint as I learned that hard way :-) It seemed to me that those, as sort of panel, might stop rain and act like roofing providing shelter buff. But I was wrong.
@@TomSilver_42 Oh, gotcha! That's definitely not obvious if you've played other survival games either, cause a lot of them allow floor panels to stop weather too.
I really liked the comparison to rl roofs.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
Another method not covered in this video is to use the iron beams to create a frame around the entire building then connect that frame to the roofing for a super unique looking roof with a crazy amount of space you can roof with using this method.
3:56 you can actually use 1-meter wood beams to fill the gap.
That's a good idea! It would probably look pretty nice!
I needed this video. My roofs were so messed up. My house ugly. 😥
Glad it helped!
FYI: The outer corner roof is called a hip. The inside corner, a valley.
Good to know, thanks!
ahh, concise and accurate. good video my man. i mean... my person.. #2021
I'm glad it helped!
I prefer the non politically correct 'my man'! ;)
Putting a roof on my giant circular portal hub is taking days and I'm noticing the clipping and snapping is getting tough the higher I go, might just scrap it. I flew too close to the sun... Either way, thanks for the tips!
Yeah, I prefer octagonal over circular because of that, although it has its own problems! Hopefully you get something worked out!
You could do a full 16-angle circle at the base, and then at some point nearer the center, transition it into a octogonal by skipping every other roof & angle.
Worth pointing out, circular roofs in valheim work better I think with a Clerestory Roof step up, which is a perfect time to reduce the number of angles you're using by half. If you window the clerestory step, it gives you ventilation for your fires/braziers.
Also a "spiraling roof" shape can disguise the clipping issues of a circular build as intentional design elements.
@@kathrynck Placing a clerestory on a circular building sounds like it'd look cool!
never thought to build in a not square format made me a better builder just with that alone
I’m glad the video helped!
how do i build a stable roof for 8x8 without adding beams to the room floor (to keep the room space clear)
This is an 8x12 building with an open interior - th-cam.com/video/b2bAoowsBIo/w-d-xo.html
It is made out of a stone foundation though, it might be tough to accomplish 8x8 with strictly wood.
How do I get the log poles instead of the weaker beams I start with? I'm new to the game and have no idea how to get the log poles.
I'm frustrated because I'm limited on how I build my starter base since I don't have these larger log poles.
Once you loot core wood the recipe should unlock, you can find core wood in the Black Forest from pine trees.
I'm 38 years old and for the first time I'm starting to realize why I should've paid attention in math and it's all because of base building in Valheim. 😆
The building system definitely gets you thinking!
how do you get that little bit of over hang on the 26 deg. roof 3 square wide house?
Are you able to tag the time in the video, so I can know specifically which one?
@@quicksandriggs Im realizing after playing for a bit that your placing the roof normally but the fact that your wall is only 2m high where mine is 4m the ratio of the little thatch overhang to wall height just looks better than mine. I was referring to the houses you used to explain intersections that come in around 2:00 and 6:30. lmk if you have any ideas for getting like 1m of overhang but no stress. I have a feeling were going to get a couple more build pieces in the hearth and home update
@@Goodday639 Gotcha, that overhang is probably accidental. But you might get an overhang by free placing a horizontal beam on the underside of your roof panel and trying to attach a second roof to the beam, clipping through your current roof, it might hang off 1m. I haven't tested this though.
I did the roof from my home all wrong, now i have to destroy it and make it right, thanks for the video
Lol, I've done a great many things wrong in this game so far! Glad it helped!
Near the end of your video, you’re walking around casting a flash light torch look. How do you do that?
It's an item called the Dverger Circlet, you buy it from Haldor the Trader. He can be difficult to find, but he will be displayed by a bag icon on the map when you get within 200m of him.
@@quicksandriggs Ah, thank you!
@@Domzdream For sure!
WOW, SOOO MANY ROOFS JUST TO BE COVERED UP. :D
