IfValheimplayers are looking to start their own in-game building sprees after seeing some of the amazing designs by others, they may be wondering how these buildings could be stable. When someone sees pictures of the Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame, or the completeStormwind Harbor rebuilt inValheim, they may be wondering how they were built and how structures like that can hold their weight.
The game’s building physics are fairly simple on paper, but can get a hectic when actuallybuilding a house inValheim. The best way of determining the stability of the structure while building is to run the curser over the structure while the Hammer is selected. Rolling over the individual pieces of a structure with the Hammer, without hitting any buttons, will make the piece glow a certain color. The color will indicate how stable a piece is. The scale is as follows:

AfterValheimplayers unlock stone buildings, it becomes even more complicated; this scale is mostly for wooden pieces, as the scale becomes unstable faster with stone pieces, being heavier than wood.
Visual Help For Structures
User duploq on Reddit shared a helpful graph to better describe the colors of the stability spectrum inValheim.
However, the instability of yellow, orange, and red pieces of the structure can be mitigated by adding supports.
Supports for Structures
While learning to betterlevel the ground inValheimwith a hoe can help with structure stability, nothing adds more support to structures than wooden beams, log supports, and more. By adding one of the many support types players can build, players can turn red structure piece into a yellow one.
There are several different support types that players can build for their homes. They are listed below ordered from least supportive to most supportive:
Adding supports to either side of a wall or roof tile can help to increase the stability of each piece significantly. Here’s a demonstration of each support:
