Building an awesome base is one of the simple joys of Valheim. You don’t have a lot of options when it comes to materials, but there’s so much more you can do to make an impressive Viking homestead. The building features in Valheim are much more in-depth than most other open-world survival games, giving you tools to make some incredible little outposts, bridges, castles and more.
The community loves sharing their creations, and we love checking them out.

All of these creations take a ton of creativity, so make sure to check the links under each spotlight to see what else these creators have made.
