its actually the easiest way to build a home in this game. like being able to place down large blocks in the ground then instantly delete them allows you to dig out huge spaces really quickly.

This is by far the best hobbit hole I've seen so far! Love the design, the detail, the furniture! All of it fits the theme so well! I had the feeling Gandalf is jumping by with his smoky pipe to give me a ring and throws me out to Mordor.

the building is so intuitive in this game, im not as detail oriented as you, but i was able to do things that many other games dont allow, for example the fact that you can place a wall inside another wall to make more unique builds

When I playthrough this game, I'll definitely use this build as inspiration. I love making a cozy little hobbit hole. Excellent video as always Smitty :)

You are a true artist. A GOAT! I love this and cannot wait to create my own Shire in this game. I’m loving the game so far! I am also adjusting to the new building system, but so far am really happy with it. Thanks for sharing! ☺️

I think its so important to have an idea in your head of what your end goal is, as it helps direct the build into a more natural looking final build. The way you tried to express the circle elements on the outside really helped sell the final vision, and I love how you pulled the earth back over the top, really helping it look built into the earth. Such a great video! I really gotta get this game, I love building and decorating houses in games!

Yes!!! I've been hoping for you to try this game! Even though I still prefer Valheims building system I've still had a lot of fun building in this game. It's very different from Valheim but that's what makes it fun y'know, trying something new. And seeing this proves to me that It's possible to make some incredible stuff in Enshrouded. it's still a very new game but the general feeling I've gotten is that given time, Enshrouded has the potential to become an Incredible game, not just for building but a great survival game in general. I'm looking forward to seeing what becomes of this game!

Yep, I love both of them for what they are. Valheim for the structural foundation logic, which is a fun challenge and reward loop, and Enshrouded for the freedom and beautiful dynamic procedural voxel building and materials.

Ok... this video has me convinced to buy this game, dang... So good!

also great for renovating dilapidated homes. the building system allows you to fully repair any broken down building on the map so you can plop down a way point and get to work. theres a great spot near the first tower, its a big church with a farm next to it so lots of free soil. you can fully repair it and have a pretty sweet base thats actually part of the world. kinda limited by how many waypoint things you have but its a fun gameplay loop, getting all the right blocks, using the scaffolding to get the placement right, adding in features like wells or lighting....

It is quite solid for a co-op survival crafting game. And while it is meant to be played with friends, you can perfectly fine play it solo and it's not boring in the least. If you unlock everything in early access right now, you can build a ton of stuff already in a surprisingly big and varied game world with comparative ease. From a humble hut over large manors or even straight up castles, although it still lacks many decorative elements. A lot more easier if you use a trainer to spare yourself the tedious resource gathering for bigger builds. And you can build quite big, entire villages or massive castles with a flame altar upgraded to maximum diameter.

Very good my man, you dont do much talking and more narrating voice with showing the build and that's perfect, you're doing very well with this strategy

Can't wait to see more from you on this game!

It seems this game was heavily inspired by Valheim. It's similar in a lot of aspects (for instance, it's not a hardcore survival, so food = buffs), you unlock recipes by finding the material (wood, rock, metal, etc). But it really builds on top of it. There's more traversal options, like a wingsuit and a grappling hook (although boats don't seem to be a thing, not sure yet, haven't been too far). There's much more lore, story and quests; building is better, you select the shape and material (already an improvement), but are not limited by the predefined shapes: you can do anything block by block if you wish, shaping it however you want. Building-wise, I think we'll see some crazy creations here as well...

@chloekaftan

ehh... this game is far more casual than valheim is, in valheim you actually feel like you're in a survival game especially when you reach the plains biome, your base gets raided all the time and the raids get more intense once you start taking out the bosses, and you actually have a reason to turtle up and build defensive fortifications. whereas in enshrouded, the only real danger is from the shroud and even then it doesnt really feel dangerous since its not very populated. i'll definitely be spending a lot of time enjoying this game, but in the end i will still be going back to valheim.

@smittysurvival

Interesting Analysis of the two. I think that comparison of these games is at times overdone. Ensrhouded does borrow certain systems, but overall I'd say the two games just play completely differently. Enshrouded is more like a Survival-Fable, where-as Valheim feels more like a Survival-Soulslike. Preference of which is better is going go totally depend on the player, but I'd lean toward Valheim from an immersion standpoint.

Thanks you so much for building on Enshrouded ! I really hope you’ll continue ! I was only waiting to see how you will build on this game to buy it myself 😇 ! You are inspiring !

some tips: you can get books from the abandoned homes for free, go to any large abandoned settlement in the game and just loot them off the shelves. i recommend the woodgard town just west of the springlands ancient spire. plenty of abandoned homes to raid and plenty of books around.

Like you said, it's not a huge project, but it does a really good job of showing off the level of detail you are capable of achieving in this game. Still working on getting to that level myself, I've always been more of an efficiency over ascetics kind of guy when it comes to building in survival games but I have always wanted to build something that looks incredible like this. Unfortunately, habits are hard break, but this video definitely gives me some inspiration, so please keep up the great work.

Enshrouded has the best building mechanics out of all survival games out there.

Oh i love it! I just bought Enshrouded yesterday, but this gave me a lot of inspiration! Now i just have to play for a few hours to get all the blocks and items i need 😍🥰

really nice little place to live, l especially love the way you made the window, very clever use of the square frame, it gives it a sort of oriental theme but still works well

Oooh, look who's conquering this new building game! I haven't done much building myself so far, only some walls and a roof to keep up appearances, because I'm still quite busy exploring the game and find all the materials.

Actually just started playing this over the weekend and the only downside so far is that you need to progress quite a bit before you can craft homes like this. This is more Terraria than Valheim in that certain NPCs unlock building blocks and the materials are in 10+ areas. We still don't even have the sawmill because it's an entire chain of materials just to make it. No real way to just rush it since leveling is absolutely required by then.
