I really wanted to make a watch tower in my village mainly to see friends comming back from long trips out in the longship, So I decided to share what I came up with, this one is quite a tricky build because of alot of the snapping points not really wanting to co-operate, but I hope you enjoy the video, and thank you for watching o/
I was really struggling with the thatching layout, then I gave up and just snap it on top of the horizontal beam, since it was consisted of 2 2-meters beam, probably not as pretty but boy it was so much easier
Agreed that the “other methods” for makings stairs are so incredibly time consuming. That being said, it’s nice that you can run up it without jumping. Nice video.
@@necopozza can't I find the video but basically place a vertical beam (I used the basic 2m wood one), attach a horizontal 2m beam to it, delete vertical beam, rotate vertical beam one click and put beam back, hold shift and put a new horizontal beam on the once rotated vertical beam, repeat. I made the horizontal beams as low as possible so you could run up without jumping. If this needs better explaining, let me know. Good luck!
Color me impressed, done in survival too from the look of it. I see lots of these kinds of things done with console commands, and yeah they do look good, but I can't be that impressed when the person constantly flies around and has no need to grind resources.
I'm 50/50 on it, I like survival, and always love to see builds made in survival. but I also really think the creativity and grandeur of some of the builds made in creative can be exceptionally impressive. I'm glad there are others like me though who really like to see builds made in survival though!
I have "plan builds" and a few other mods so I ended up just drafting blueprints of various 1f 2f and 3f spiral stairs (the painstaking ones) as well as 1 floor half turn spirals. Now that they'er done i just place them and add the materials and it builds in place. Its a lovely improvment. U can also just blueprint ur finished towers like this to make it WAY less time consuming. Still survival for me as well. its just nice to not have to make it from scratch once i get the build how i like
hey you could improve the view!, instead of a fence, use a beam using shift key, also you could make the roof 26 degree a little bit higher, making it longer to the outside, it will give a nice view, and not so much restricted camera, good video it helped me a lot
So this is the video that made me sub to you. I been watching your videos for a while now, but this is the one. Thanks for what you do! I'll continue to like what I see from now on!
Nice build. Only thing I would've done differently is use regular 2M beams for the steps. Core wood doesn't work very well for that purpose. The regular wood is much better (you can actually run up them).
This one I actually managed to build without getting stuck on some snapping nightmare! Thanks! Mine ends up a little more orange than yours, for some reason, but it looks nice and works fine!
Came for the tutorial, stayed for the music! Really wish Valheim had this music piece or there was a way to mod sound tracks for the game. Would be really nice to hear some nicer music variety from the game or use some Legend of Zelda music while I play the game haha
@@navataru Dont worry "whats the song" is one of the most common questions I get on this video series :P so its a pretty common question. I should really add it into the description thinking about it.
Really good build, looks great and not too hard to build. You can do a lot less scaffolding if you just put a floor out from each of the faces of the tower though, that's what I did anyway.
I am pretty frustrated with how the ladder is looking in my watchtower so thinking I should just change it to this method. And now have a much better idea of how the top needs to be done. Thanks!
Great looking tower. Loved the music btw, resembles Diablo's Tristram soundtrack a lot. Oh wait, isn't this music actually from Valheim? First time I heard it I had the same reaction lol
It's the 5th biome music, it took me a while to even notice it wasn't the normal house-music or even meadow-music, but it sure is perfect for building along to!
Heyhey, been closely watching your tutorials, also building them (my friends love em) and that Watchtower comes in Handy real good for my new project place.
Thanks - if I can't now turn my hovel into a building worthy of the rest of the village my friends have built, that's clearly a failing on my part (wish me luck!)
Thanks for the video. I tried doing this with a bigger tower build and it was a bitch and a half to get it right, but this gives me a better idea of what I should do. Great job. 😁👍
Brilliant videos, really fun to make and awesome looks. Could you add in the beginning or end how much wood and other resources you need for the build? that would be very nice. Thanks again for the amazing content.
Iv started putting the estimated resources in the description. I do offten lose track of how much wood I use exactly though but its a pretty acurate estimate.
nice video! btw, i've seen a way to create functional spiral staircases but its really tedious. Another youtubers, firespark and bae blade have shown it.
Thanks! and yeah iv seen videos on the same thing I think, its the one where you destroy a beam turn it once replace it and place another peice of the stairs, then repeat. Really wish I could have used it in this video but I feel it would have a very long video if I did.
it looks amazing !! ps. Next time maybe some fermenting building ? :) with stone and wood it would be great :) Cheers and thx for this amazing tutorials
Im thinking of making the house I use as a main base, which has a raised area for fermenting, I will eventually do a building specifically for fermenting though as I its a pretty cool idea. (and my friend nata also wanted that aswell when me and him made a tavern together)
@@ZerosterGuides Ha nice ! I'm in swamp right now, I can't wait to hear this in game ! It's really beautiful, they kept the best for the (actual) end-game :)
Love the watch tower! Maybe check out Bae Blade's spiral staircase videos for a nifty idea that makes spiral stairs walkable and nice looking. I plan to use his technique in your tower, with a few customizations :D
it's definitely there but it's quite well hidden and easy to ignore, you see some slightly flashing textures sometimes when merging two blocks together, but it mostly appears on stone floors.
I will admit I practiced placing that part a few times before recording, Placing them onto the corners of the beams helps, if its the part I'm thinking of, But it has been a very long time since making this video.
unfortunately not, however, there are designs for spiral staircases that you can walk up that people have made that would fit in the tower pretty well. I just chose this variant of spiral staircase due to it being more accessible construction wise.
It has been a while since I made this build, so I can't say for sure, but possibly something to do with the central support beam. I know that was what was holding up the roof the most.

How much wood did you use? I wish to know if I want to build this.
@@Kakuretaka I cant remember but I do add the resource count in the description of the video whenever I can.

Good video buddy
The only building videos I have seen on this game where “Lego instructions” are given out. Thanks a lot!
Omg, right? Seriously appreciated!
This is the best roof concept that I've seen for a circular roof. I love how clear your videos are. 👍
Agreed that the “other methods” for makings stairs are so incredibly time consuming. That being said, it’s nice that you can run up it without jumping. Nice video.
Oh man, you managed to do it? I can't seem to run up these stairs without jumping... =(
@@necopozza can't I find the video but basically place a vertical beam (I used the basic 2m wood one), attach a horizontal 2m beam to it, delete vertical beam, rotate vertical beam one click and put beam back, hold shift and put a new horizontal beam on the once rotated vertical beam, repeat.

Dude, even your scaffolding looks cool lol
Your tower has more detail , and looks better than most peoples houses that I've seen.

3 years late, but kudos for both the step sections and doing it outside of creative mode!
Your welcome :D, there has been an actual spiral staircase block added to the game now, so that would be a good replacement once you unlock it.
Age of Empires 2 vibes in this tower
"cairfully". Love it.

This is a good build, very survival friendly and even new players can make it. Thank you for sharing!
Currently building a tower myself while watching this video. Super creative!
i wanted to build a watch tower to go along with my dock, thank you this will help a lot
So mesmerizing. And satisfying. 500+ game days, I can't stop building. Great stuff.
Nice build man, most of my base builds is refer to this youtuber hopefully there will be more building build on valheim in the future
hey you could improve the view!, instead of a fence, use a beam using shift key, also you could make the roof 26 degree a little bit higher, making it longer to the outside, it will give a nice view, and not so much restricted camera, good video it helped me a lot
Came here looking for examples of octagonal roofs. This is great!
Can't wait for your longhouse build. That'll be grand!
So this is the video that made me sub to you. I been watching your videos for a while now, but this is the one. Thanks for what you do! I'll continue to like what I see from now on!
dude your buildings look amazing. I tried making this but didnt have the parts and ended up with the derpiest tower I've ever seen.. good times
Great tutorial style very easy to follow and understand
Nice build. Only thing I would've done differently is use regular 2M beams for the steps. Core wood doesn't work very well for that purpose. The regular wood is much better (you can actually run up them).
That's exactly why I was resistant to doing my stairs like this, but I'm going to use the regular beams for mine. Thanks for the info!
A lot of very nice details. I'm going to use this in my base. Thanks
Thank you for this fantastic construction guide 👍
Amazing once again I've been following your builds thus far and there are super fun to make, thank you so much for the content :)
These videos are so relaxing
This is a classic tower, love the build!
Outstanding. Will be replacing a 3-portal greenhouse with this. Might add an extra ring to fit portals up top.
Now I have to have a tower like this.
I'm struggling with circular staircases, but this one seems easier to make, gonna try it next time! Thanks!
This one I actually managed to build without getting stuck on some snapping nightmare! Thanks! Mine ends up a little more orange than yours, for some reason, but it looks nice and works fine!

your kinda in luck, the music is from valheim, its the music that plays in the plains biome.
@@ZerosterGuides Bruh, I feel like an idiot now haha. I have yet to make it to the plains Biome. That is probably why I did not know about this
@@navataru Dont worry "whats the song" is one of the most common questions I get on this video series :P so its a pretty common question.
I should really add it into the description thinking about it.
Really good build, looks great and not too hard to build. You can do a lot less scaffolding if you just put a floor out from each of the faces of the tower though, that's what I did anyway.
I absolutely love watching these builds & will be doing some of them asap. Thank you
Again I really enjoyed this one watching, amazing work and detail you put into your videos
I am pretty frustrated with how the ladder is looking in my watchtower so thinking I should just change it to this method. And now have a much better idea of how the top needs to be done. Thanks!
Really like your tutorials, very helpful
Thanks a lot! I love how clear your videos are.
Beautifully done -- lots of skill and patience!
such a cool and simple build
This is a very beautiful Watchtower. Thank you for the vid it was well worth the watch.
Great looking tower. Loved the music btw, resembles Diablo's Tristram soundtrack a lot.

Awesome, best build videos I have seen. Keep up the great work
Added this to my base, this was great thanks dude
Heyhey, been closely watching your tutorials, also building them (my friends love em) and that Watchtower comes in Handy real good for my new project place.
Great tower Zeroster... it looks amazing ^_^
great job man !
Please make many more how to build videos. These are great!
Great idea, beautiful geometry, tnx, for the video!
I will take as many of your building tips as I can and maybe one day I will get to create something nice on my own. Meanwhile thank you very much :)
Thanks - if I can't now turn my hovel into a building worthy of the rest of the village my friends have built, that's clearly a failing on my part (wish me luck!)
Thanks for the video. I tried doing this with a bigger tower build and it was a bitch and a half to get it right, but this gives me a better idea of what I should do. Great job. 😁👍
Holy shit yes. Thank you for stunningly clear instructions too!!
great video, nice watchtower, thnx man
Awesome. just followed this to build on my server. Thanks!
These instructions are on point
Brilliant videos, really fun to make and awesome looks. Could you add in the beginning or end how much wood and other resources you need for the build? that would be very nice. Thanks again for the amazing content.
Its in the description.

lmao, never mind
That a beautiful watchtower 😍
Seriously great builds man
reakky nice work, i think i'll try to make one this afternoon after the nap :)
This is amazing!
Nice work!
nice video!

Really wish I could have used it in this video but I feel it would have a very long video if I did.
I will be copying this as just made a tower that looks like a big block.
Mission success!
Great video!
I look forward to seeing more stuff like this, it's great!
Subbed
Keep up the great guides my man
Oh wow this is awesome.
Master builder Zeroster.
And now I'm sub'd 😁
That looks really good
Beautiful. Thanks

Nice build
Top Notch my dude.. Fantastic!
Amazing man! Much love
Built it in my world thanks alot!
I came here to look for a watch tower build I left with what I was looking for plus how to build a scaffolding hahaha.
Very nice video ! I'll try to build one like that too !
What is the music ? It sound like Valheim OST, but also like Diablo OST :p
its the Valheim plains biome OST :D
@@ZerosterGuides Ha nice ! I'm in swamp right now, I can't wait to hear this in game ! It's really beautiful, they kept the best for the (actual) end-game :)
I can imagine building a tower like this, and putting a bonfire up top for a lighthouse.
Nice, now I just need to find a place to put one.
Your builds are the best, thanks so much for these.
Thanks!!
What is that trippy music?! Love it
its the music that plays in the plains biome in valheim, I thought it sounded pretty awesome as well
Love ur videos
awesome, but it could use some machicolations
What music did you use for this video? I MUST KNOW! It's really peaceful to listen to
its the plains biome music from valheim
Good job again.
Worth Subscribing
Impressive!
A neat freak's wet dream...this game I love it.
Love the watch tower! Maybe check out Bae Blade's spiral staircase videos for a nifty idea that makes spiral stairs walkable and nice looking. I plan to use his technique in your tower, with a few customizations :D
How does the game handle textures? I havent been able to spot any z-clipping with overlapping textures which is quite amazing.
it's definitely there but it's quite well hidden and easy to ignore, you see some slightly flashing textures sometimes when merging two blocks together, but it mostly appears on stone floors.
Verry good! 👍
More, more, more!
those X pieces WILL NOT snap for me regardless what i do. yet in your video you make it look so easy. very frustrating
I will admit I practiced placing that part a few times before recording, Placing them onto the corners of the beams helps, if its the part I'm thinking of,
But it has been a very long time since making this video.
Nice Tower! Like idea of log as staircase, but why so much scaffolding? I always take a half floor and I am good to go 😄
I put two of these together and made 4 flying deer, we know what happens next
How you put de 45º under the floor? I can't do it. );
Do the stairs actually work without having to jump?
unfortunately not, however, there are designs for spiral staircases that you can walk up that people have made that would fit in the tower pretty well.
I just chose this variant of spiral staircase due to it being more accessible construction wise.
Sexy, can't wait to add one to my base!
I have no clue why I can't properly secure the top
It has been a while since I made this build, so I can't say for sure, but possibly something to do with the central support beam. I know that was what was holding up the roof the most.
