Valheim 1.0 Build Pieces: 67° Roofs & 80+ New Structures

Valheim 1.0 adds 80+ new build pieces, including 67 degree roofs in Ashwood, Shingle, Thatch and Wood, Scalewood walls, Timber beams and drawbridges. Full list.

Valheim 1.0 is the biggest building update the game has had. Iron Gate’s official patch notes confirm 80+ new buildable pieces, and for the first time the game ships a genuinely steep roof angle. This guide documents the confirmed piece list — especially the new 67° family — and notes what the developer has and has not published about costs and behavior.

If you are scouting a spot for a Deep North base, the Deep North biome guide covers the environment, and the Seed Viewer helps you evaluate world layout before you commit.

67° Roofs & Walls — The Headline Addition

Previously, timber building pieces came in 26° and 45° angles. Valheim 1.0 adds 67° variants, enabling much steeper, more dramatic roofs. The official notes confirm four families with four 67° pieces each:

These are purpose-built steep-roof components with matching transitions, so you no longer have to fake a sharp pitch with stacked 26°/45° pieces.

Scalewood Walls (15 Pieces)

The notes confirm a substantial Scalewood wall family — 15 pieces covering full, half, and quarter walls plus left/right angled variants at 26°, 45°, and the new 67°:

• Scalewood Wall, Scalewood Half Wall, Scalewood Quarter Wall
• Scalewood Wall 26° Left / 26° Right (each with an Inverted variant)
• Scalewood Wall 45° Left / 45° Right (each with an Inverted variant)
• Scalewood Wall 67° Left / 67° Right (each with an Inverted variant)

Timber Family (10 + 5 Decorated)

The Timber line expands with both plain and decorated members:

Additional 67° beams confirmed separately: Darkwood Beam 67°, Iron Wood Beam 67°, and Log Beam 67°.

Other Notable New Pieces

The 80+ total also includes gates, bridges, and structural extras:

Building Changes — Clear the Snow First

A key Deep North mechanic is confirmed directly in the patch notes: the snow has fallen thick and deep, and you must clear it away before you can build. The new Snow Shovel tool is the intended way to clear a build site. Plan to clear ground and paths, not just the footprint of the building, before hauling materials in.

The notes also confirm a Hammer/serving-tray menu overhaul and a builder display that can show who placed a building piece — useful for shared bases. Community write-ups describe this as a HUD setting; treat the exact toggle location as community-reported.

Community Notes on Costs & Support

Iron Gate has not published a per-piece cost or structural-strength table for the new pieces. Community wikis (e.g. Game8) list some examples — one entry shows Thatch Roof Outer Corner 67° requiring a Workbench and Wood x2 — and the general rule that most new pieces need a Workbench nearby holds. Standard Valheim support logic (hammer support colours) still applies; no source promises a special span bonus for 67° pieces.

For testing layouts or unlocking pieces on a throwaway world, the 1.0 console commands guide covers the relevant devcommands.

Building in the Deep North: Snow and Frozen Water

Beyond the piece list, 1.0 changes how and where you build in the polar biome. Iron Gate confirms the deep snow must be cleared before you can build, and the new Snow Shovel is the intended tool. Community guides add context that is community-reported:

• Frozen lakes and seas in the Deep North create an ice-sliding movement mechanic, and breakable ice lets you smash frozen surfaces or crash ships into ice sheets.
• The Ice Block piece (confirmed in the notes) and the new ice-making behaviour let you turn collected snowballs into craftable ice building blocks.
• Snow visibly gathers on structures and on the new steep roof pieces during storms, which is part of the biome’s visual identity rather than a structural penalty.

Plan storage, entrance, and retreat routes while wearing expedition gear, since frozen terrain is slippery and a base has to work in everyday use, not just look good from a distance.

Drawbridges and Gates

The notes confirm three drawbridges — Drawbridge, Rustic Drawbridge, and Timber Drawbridge — plus Timber Gate and Roundpole Gate. Community guides suggest testing a small trial section at the planned harbour or gatehouse location before committing: confirm you can operate the bridge from both sides, that the passage is clear in every position you need, and that there is an alternate route when the bridge is closed. A moving bridge is a layout feature, not an invulnerable defence — enemies, terrain, and the rest of the base still matter.

Furniture, Decoration, and the Builder HUD

Beyond structure, 1.0 adds a batch of named furniture and storage pieces: the Antler Throne, Carved Bench, Carved Chair, Grausten Chest, Long Carved Table, Moose Hide Carpet, Sealskin Rug, Square Carved Table, and Wardrobe, plus decorative stacks for every major metal (including a Bloodgold Stack and Timberwood Stack) and misc items like the Birdnest, Eternal Pyre, Hooded Lantern, and Snow Lantern. The patch notes also describe a builder display that can show who placed a building piece, which community guides note is handy for shared bases — treat the exact toggle location as community-reported.

Planning Your Deep North Base

Because deep snow blocks building until it is cleared and frozen terrain is slippery, community guides recommend picking a site with sheltered, flat ground and clearing a generous area before hauling materials in. Test the route between storage, entrance, and a retreat point while wearing expedition gear, since a base has to work in everyday use. The Seed Viewer can help you scout world layout before committing to a long Deep North playthrough, and the Deep North biome guide covers the enemies and hazards you will face while gathering these pieces.

What Is NOT Published (Boundary)

To keep this guide factual:

• Exact material cost for every one of the 80+ pieces is not developer-published; costs live in the in-game Hammer menu.
• Any claim that 67° pieces improve FPS or structural strength is not supported by Iron Gate’s notes.
• Specific unlock levels beyond “Workbench nearby” for generic pieces are not stated in the official patch notes.

FAQ

The takeaway: Valheim 1.0’s 80+ new build pieces are officially named, led by the long-requested 67° steep-roof family across Ashwood, Shingle, Thatch, and Wood. Build the list from the confirmed names, clear your snow first, and check in-game for the exact wood or stone each piece costs.
