Vertical Construction limit too low (Debunked)

[DeLindsay]

As I continually am pushing the limits of what I can build with Valheim's somewhat limited tools using NO MODS I wanted to address the complaint that you can't build high enough. I'm adding screenshots that prove everyone wrong. I built a single vertical wall, unsupported in any other direction that I managed to raise to 21.5 Rows at 2M per row using ONLY the Wood Iron Post.

This wall went through a massive Storm that swallowed my Base but it stood strong. The 21st row is where it starts to break. I imagine if I built a smaller "Tower" with 4, or better 6 sides (Hexagon) with internal bracing, I could go even higher.

The point is, it's not the Game's restrictions that are holding you back, it's YOUR lack of creativity and understanding of how construction works, cheers.

People don't understand how load bearing walls and supports work, more at 11.

Well done, thank you for taking the time to do all this.

No worries and thank you.

I'll have some new SS's the next time it's day without persistent Fog or Rain. I managed to span a massive distance between natural Stone Pillars and even pave it with Stone floors!

Trump should've hired you to build his wall while he still could.

[Lunacy]

Now how far horizontally can you build out that wall to make it liveable?

[DeLindsay]

Here you go, 21 unsupported 2M Wood Iron Beams with a Stone Floor between 2 natural Stone Pillars. I could've taken it even further.

What does the 2M stand for in the "21.5 Rows at 2M per row". Does it stand for 2 meters, 2 million or what? I'm not familiar with this Valheim builder jargon and am curious to know.

[DeLindsay]

2 Meters yes, that's the description in Game for that building block.

2 meters.
Game made by Swedish developers, Sweden uses metric system.

[WR3ND]

This is from an old alpha build that started with just the basic 1 meter wooden boards and 2 meter and 1 meter wooden walls. I added the taller 2 meter boards later for aesthetics and have since changed this build a bit more.

Point being, building within the limits of the basic materials that you start with seems reasonable to me too.

Anyway, good job OP.

Add a bit of natural support and you can go even higher!
IIRC about 108 meters to the roof, bit more to highest, but unstable point:

Fun fact(?), at high elevations it seems to snow, regardless of biome.

People too lazy to learn how to build it seems...

That's really interesting about it Snowing up high.
