How to save and import Valheim Builds

Level 39 : Artisan Viking

What started with a shipwreck and a hammer turned into something much bigger — Driftwood, a small outpost where every home has a purpose and the wall itself tells a story.

The build began with a simple wall across the shoreline, but soon grew into something more — four unique homes, a dock, and a bulwark that shapes the character of the town while keeping it safe.

Driftwood isn’t about scale or grandeur. It’s about rhythm, community, and creating a place that feels lived in. Each home has its own quirks and personality, from experimental layouts to cozy details, and together they form a settlement with heart.

Nice, very nice. Small but plenty of life and very cozy. Lots of tiny nice details here and there; I laughed with the chicken in the cage.

I gotta shout out JJTheBuilder, because it was in one of his old builds that I first saw the chicken in the cage. Such a clever idea.

Noted then, I'll credit you both because that's something for sure I'll use eventually. :)

I was wondering when you'd show up here! Your stuff has so much depth, story wise, visually and everything is built with so many layers. You can feel the passion in both the videos and the builds. Good stuff!

Ha, I like to lurk the Valheimian halls and occasionally drop a ruby or two! Actually, someone needs to build a Valheimians Institue in game. How is that not a thing?



Seriously though, thanks for the wonderful note. I really enjoy the whole process, from building to scripting, to filming and editing. Though the real treat is how awesome the Valheim community is. I've never seen anything like it.

Whats stopping you for a next project? Might be a nice change of pace. But it also might just not be up your alley! If I could just stop building for a minute I could focus on some filming. Narration adds so much as well but seems like a pain ^^. You've got a super chill narrator voice and some great scripts.

With you on the community aspect tho it seems like it was much bigger before. Bigger is not always better I know but it wouldve been nice to have more content :) Lets chalk it up to quality over quantity!

I've got a few projects in the works right now, but a Hall of Builders is a solid idea. Damn, now I actually have a vision for this. It's on my list!



It's funny you mention pausing building, because I have the opposite problem right now. I need more time to build! The next project I'm going to feature is one a literally just completed and have been chipping away at over months.



Quantity of quality for sure, but I do believe many folks are taking a time out before 1.0. I really hope Iron Gate delivers on Deep North, because 1.0 can bring so many to Valheim.

history
"Make them think it was their idea all along" but its actually your own idea haha. Looking forward to the house of architects.

On one hand it seems foreign to work on different projects simultaneously but I suppose it doesnt differ much from working on seperate sections in the same build. I'm happy its becoming fall so I feel less bad about spending a lot of time holed up in the base :) Sure hope you find more time to build. No selfish reason whatsover...

Like compulsive builder said theres new wood coming but I would also like different iterations of the old materials. I need a 1 meter corewood so bad. The thing that would help me the most though, is just plain optimization. Currently at 17-18k instances and having to lower my graphics to have it be playable. Thats my biggest wish for 1.0.
Been mainly building for so long I'm almost starting to forget how to play the actual game. I'll have to look into that pre 1.0 ^^ Would be my first major 'patch'. Started after ashlands.

I would welcome some more players. More people to share with and get inspo from.

At the very least, we know for sure a new wood material (with some pieces seen already in the teaser videos). In the appropriate hands of seasoned builders like you, the new opportunities that will open are countless.

I fear how many buildings I'll want to retrofit with some new items and build pieces when north arrives. ^_^U

I actually really enjoy revising old builds. Fun way to use some new techniques you've learned while keeping it somewhat nostalgic. Hoping for loads of building options <3
