Structural integrity, workstations, stability maths and base ideas — plus a material calculator for your next build.
Where to put your Valheim base, how to lay out a main hub versus an outpost network, and the design choices that survive raids, smoke, stability loss and long hauls.
How Valheim building works: the stability colour system, wood versus core wood versus stone, and the core pieces every functional base needs.
Everything Valheim furniture does besides look nice: storage capacity tiers, the new 1.0 item and armor display stands, how the Rested comfort bonus actually works, and what the 80+ new 1.0 build pieces add to a base.
Everything about Valheim portals: recipe and unlock, how tag matching works (with the 4-portal pairing rule), the complete teleportation-blocked items list, what the Portal Stone changes, and how to design a usable hub network.
How Valheim structural integrity actually works: the stability colour system, which materials hold the most weight, why your roof collapses, and how to build tall without red pieces.
Every Valheim crafting station in order — Workbench, Forge, Black Forge, Galdr Table, Cauldron and Artisan Table — with the upgrade pieces that raise each station level and what roof and radius rules apply.
