A winter cabin meant for use with the BuildShare mod (formerly AdvancedBuilding), ready and waiting for your decoration.

When using, I suggest building it with a Y value of 1-2, for example:

ab build winterCabin 0 1 0
or
ab build winterCabin 0 2 0

This build was inspired by Vetlive's Mountain Log House, it's the best cabin I've seen thus far. I made a few minor changes, but the design is still largely theirs.

Check out their time-lapse build at the link above along with the rest of their channel, their building is some of the best I've seen posted around - truly superb stuff. If you're looking for some inspiration with the decoration, that would be my first stop!

Have fun, and happy building!


Requirements

• BuildShare (AdvancedBuilding)- Valheim
  

Installing BuildShare (AdvancedBuilding):

• Before anything, BuildShare is needed in order to place this 'blueprint'.
  

• At time of writing, BuildShare has a prerequisite download itself: InSlimVML - Valheim Mod Loader
  

• Download all prerequisites, and unzip their contents in their designated folder:
  

InSlimVML into your Valheim directory, and BuildShare into the mod directory created by InSlimVML.

• Your file structure should look something similar to:
  

<Steam directory>\steamapps\common\Valheim\InSlimVML\mods\CR-BuildShare_VML.dll


Installing this Build:

• Download and unzip this mod into the \BuildShare\Builds folder located inside your Valheim directory.
  

• This folder is automatically created when you save your first build using BuildShare.
  

• If you have not yet saved a build, you can easily create the new folders yourself.
  

• My build folder is located at the following path (with example .vbuild file):
  

C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Valheim\BuildShare\Builds\\MyHouse.vbuild

• NOTE: If you used a previous version of BuildShare (AdvancedBuilding), your build directory may be slightly different.
  

e.g., folder named AdvancedBuilding instead of BuildShare.


Usage:

• BuildShare now features a GUI to help position and place your structures.
• If the UI is not visible, open the console (F5 in-game) and type 'ab ui' (without quotes).
• Enter the filename of the desired build in the Build Name box. For example: 'winterCabin', 'jarlsKeep', 'stoneFarm', or 'roundhouse' (without quotes).
• Utilize the X, Y, and Z coordinates and the rotation settings along with the prebuild functionality to test placement.
• Click ~BUILD~ to place the structure.
  

NOTES:

   - I usually suggest using a Y value of 0-2 for most builds, as they're generally saved standing on a floor slightly above ground.
   - You can use the UPDATE POS button to refresh your test placements after minor adjustments.
   - The TerrainMaster mod can help with flattening areas for building, but *use this sparingly*, overuse of terrain modification can impact game performance.
