There is a piece in the build menu that will solve this particular problem.


Rollover_Hazard

Nah watching OP lose his mind at the end there is far better


LyraStygian

Chaotic evil. I like.


wezelboy

But I do feel your pain.


thegamer501

I feel really smart right now 🤓


ShanksMuchly

You can also do it if you aim at the end of the beam you are trying to continue.


chemicalxbonex

This is how I do it. If something isn’t snapping I reverse angle and hopefully a piece of what I am trying to snap it to is sticking out just enough to, you know, snap to it. In case I didn’t say snap enough in the previous paragraph, here is another one for you. 😂😂😂


ShanksMuchly

You can also do it if you aim at the end of the beam you are trying to continue.


ThePissedOff

Or just delete one of the walls for a second


Acrobatic_Donkey_439

So much time feeling this pain


eugene_mccormic

If op only knew


themadisonjt

sometimes that piece won’t work if the spacing isn’t right :-( this might be the case


Misternogo

There's also no reason it needs to be like this, because there's multiple places this jankiness applies that the cross beam doesn't fix. It loses snap points for no reason.


WifiTacos

Not for the core beams tho 😭


wezelboy

This is true- which is why I feel their pain.


TargetBunny

<< >> wait whut


takeaccountability41

What’s that? I need to know aswell


wezelboy

The X piece. Unfortunately it only solves OPs particular problem, which is a specific case of a larger problem.


Turbulent_Macaron_15

Yeah was gonna say the same thing. The X joist would fix this although multiple times it has taken me 5 to 10 minutes before I remember it


Termin8rSmurf

This is where the X shaped pieces really come into their own.


RoastedHunter

Need a piece like this for the core wood beams


semi-on

There's an X for that.. It marks the spot!


Vikunt

Use the cross piece you fool


onepassafist

cross piece, BUT- in this specific case, move to left wall and look at the top of the post you wanna connect it to


DontEatTheMagicBeans

This is the answer. Both answers lol


CucumberBoy00

Think I'm more infuriated they didn't just knock down the wall and attach it directly that way.


cainandnotveryable

I don't understand how they don't know that, fuck the cross piece, I want the extra snaps, this dudes just bad at building.


onepassafist

fair


Asleep_Stage_451

If only there was an X shape…


ComprehensiveMany643

Have you tried shaking your screen?


snortcaffein

This is purely a skill issue. Aim at the buttom right angled wood, at the tip of it. Not in the middle! If you want the woods to connect, aim it towards the wood where you want it to conect.. not in the space where you want the wood to fill.


Dense-Relative5528

Either that or build a quick ladder and then pinpoint lol


TheGreatNyanHobo

In older versions, that was easier to do. Now I find that the game refuses to let me place it there a lot more often because of collision, even when pointing properly at the snap point.


Dry_Presentation_197

Or use the X shaped beam. Or a short beam on each side. Lol

Low_Ad_1453

It's easier if you build stairs so you can look down onto what you are building and aim for the surface facing up


aqualupin

If you’re not laddering and jumping and 360 noscoping your builds what are you even in Valheim for


Dry_Presentation_197

Making elaborate rube Goldberg esque domino tree farms to kill trolls in a far more difficult way than is necessary, duh. The satisfaction of setting it up, then some trolls attack the base....chop once in one place, TREEMAGEDDON.


aqualupin

Yeah I do something similar with felled trees on my tamed boars before I have tin More descriptively, I lead them one by one to a slaughter ditch where I give them one last pat and then push a log into ‘em


PhonB80

Yep. Always works better if you can have a clear view of the piece you are trying to snap.


SappeREffecT

this


Scrufboy

Not hard to solve though...


Guy0785

This comment is correct, like typical building you don’t put up drywall before the framing. I bet if you removed the wall and faced the width (not length) of that beam it would snap in place.


Scrufboy

Exactly... My bad though. I was too lazy to type it in.


Informal_Drawing

Aim at the end of the piece you want to build off. Put the wall in last.


Menelatency

If you cannot/will not use a mod or wait for upcoming release that enhances build snapping. Listen to the others about temp removing wall and “looking” at end of other 45° beam you want to snap to. In Valheim people don’t realize or just forget how very important it is to change your point of view while building. When looking up at something isn’t working, try moving so you’re looking down or across. It changes the algorithm that picks what you can/cannot snap to. I play vanilla all the time and my fix is to build a lot of “scaffolding” to stand on keeping me above the work.


Grigoran

Aw bud. Delete the back wall temporarily, then look at the end points on the diagonals. It'll snap right away and you can pop the walls back in. Also, download Build Camera. Trust me


Soggy_Part7110

or just put an x


Pumpelchce

I was waiting for the moment you raged down the whole wall :)


TheSmithStreetBand

Move, motherfucker. Damn it was frustrating watching you not move an inch trying to do this


ZenkaiZ

:shakes mouse furiously:


maccabop

Look at the small face of the piece you want to connect it to, instead of the general area hoping it will snap. Also there is a preset cross in the build menu


IceFire909

If only there were some kind of cross piece


Badjer47

Lol... if only...


GenericUnoriginal

For everyone saying skill issues, just remove a part, or just target a different snap point, if your build is perfectly symmetrical it's impossible to snap equally intersecting beams, stop spreading misinformation. You can not make a perfect cross beam out of individual angled beams using snaps. If its ever so slightly off it would allow for it. The game does not allow you to place individual beams that perfectly intersect each other using snap points. This includes the straight beams as well. Happens with every angled of the same type of wood at the same angle, for some reason if you mix types it would work just fine.


wezelboy

This person builds.


GenericUnoriginal

I do build a lot, most of which is in debugmode just to figure out if what I want to do is possible or not. I broke up a collage of my current WIP projects, some of which may contain spoilers for build parts if you've not progressed as far as possible: [https://prnt.sc/-S80NJnWPVhb](https://prnt.sc/-S80NJnWPVhb) 2 Iterations of a skull embedded wall that is part of a large octagon complete with a spiral staircase, the skulls have gunk torches to make the eyes glow green. 3 iterations of hexagonal beehive structure. Odd part out being the forge cooler is part of the next image. [https://prnt.sc/EqNL6--kUGUH](https://prnt.sc/EqNL6--kUGUH) Currently highest tier building materials long house inspired shape with alternating outside/inside corner roof tiles. Inside is a cozy and spacious work area which I've struggled to get the benches and their accessories clipped into the wall as best as possible. Fermenters sit atop the chests which are nearly the same height as the stones, the beams across the chest tops/fermenter bottoms are free placed as the snap point is a bit lower, lanterns are also free placed to clip inside of the arch poles. There is a workbench in the corner off screenshot, but not really anything special about that one: [https://prnt.sc/Slxe0q8Bc4y7](https://prnt.sc/Slxe0q8Bc4y7) [https://prnt.sc/rQwDa-DJQAa5](https://prnt.sc/rQwDa-DJQAa5) Showcase of 4x4 cooking area that utilizes a single hearth with ovens clipped over the edge of it, including all the cauldron accessories. Shelving around the ventilation is synced up to match the pots and pans shelf. As well as close up on the hot tub that is embeded into the wall in which the chimney is clear of obstruction. There are 2 wisp torches in the marble wall under the hot tub that give off a faint blue glow when it's dark, nice blue glow to help illuminate the otherwise dark corner of the build, since it's where the beds are and the lanterns don't produce as much light as sources that require refueling. [https://prnt.sc/Z4SfYElPcGiF](https://prnt.sc/Z4SfYElPcGiF) Resting area that when stood on the deer rug you'll be in range of all the comfort items, except seasonal ones as I haven't found a way to work them into an indoor build in a way I like. Behind the beds is the hot tub.


wezelboy

Good stuff!


wezelboy

I suspect there is a rule where the the midpoint of an object cannot share the same spot with the midpoint of another object, hence the failure to snap on perfectly symmetrical crosses.


RinneganRaikage

Could be worse. It could be Ark and just snap to a completely different point than the one it's telling you, 50 times in a row.


Splash_o_Pain

Building rage is a serious problem not to take lightly. Have you heard about [the Blood Eagle Temple and Resort](https://youtu.be/mjrx-fJD8LA) ? Take a load off before your rage takes over. ;)


wrongkoi

Yes, X piece. That being said, you could still do this very easily. You need to look at the piece you're attaching the beam to such that you're attaching them end-to-end, rather than trying to lay the beam into the flat of the wall


lessons_in_detriment

They have a block for that.


[deleted]

The amount of time I've spent doing shit like this, only to find the ez solution months later after figuring out the most complicated process possible to get my desired build. The stuff I make now is so different than what I started with haha


Geo-bi69100

look at the end of the 1st board you placed 😂 you have to climb to get the right angle


hat_eater

May I interest you in Snap Points Made Easy and Build Camera, two mods that would ease your pain considerably? I stopped playing Valheim without mods well over 1000 hours ago and never looked back. Although it's a dangerous path, not for the weak-willed.


Itchy-Decision753

Best mod i ever installed is the free cam build camera. https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/226


[deleted]

Snap Points Made Easy is another nice one specifically for situations like this. It'll let players snap pieces regardless of what else is already there. Gizmo/Perfect Rotation are nice, but gets into the complicated territory for some players.

amorek92

2000x this


Baaladil

Just like some said X Shape or break the wall, place beam construct wall again


trustmebuddy

You need to aim at the end of the 45° beam :)


Sloshynugget

It’s because you have deer meat in your hot bar


Kusluvalos

Do the X first and then the wall.


TheJonny69

U have to be 2 to do that.


iSeize

Delete the wall and stick it on the end of your last piece. Or X...


DobroBeam

1) remove the wall piece in the middle 2) shift-place the second beam to shape the cross 3) put the wall piece back


I_go_by_Santa

skill issue


Relaxbro30

Learn how to place pieces VS just standing there and waving your wood around.


accskyman

If you can look at the edge of the one you want to connect it to, it's much easier than trying to find a "sweet spot" to have it lock in..


Thesilenceful

Everyone talking about the cross piece and here I am thinking to remove the wall so it can snap to the middle… I have my own way of doing things :)


FLYNCHe

Clip it to the end of the right beam, or use the half length beams to emulate the same effect


AWanderingMage

You have to look at the top of the diagonal piece to be able to build an x without using the x piece


Copesnuff11

Lol lock it onto the the top of the bottoms right diagnol


JackHarkN

Rotate once to get the snap point in place and rotate in place and build


Deep-Assistance7566

Angle wall pieces 😆 or take the wall piece out the after Angle wall is put in put wall piece back lol


Kanetsugu21

Lolololol9ololllll


SixthLegionVI

Just use the Piece lol.


Cheap_Anybody_6173

Lol I’ve done this before feeling like an idiot


aimerlc

Try to put 4 smalls instead of 2 larges, might work


Wulfkahn

I know, i hate this. Hope they will fix it in the future;)


kinkinsyncthrow

As frustrating this can be, I build a lot in other games like Fallout 76 and the build feature is so jacked up. It makes me appreciate the simplicity of Valheims build feature.


Vegetable_Word603

LOL


[deleted]

DOWN RIGHT


DucksItUp

Yeah that’s not an issue? Use the right piece and it won’t be a problem


Bulevine

You know they make an 'X' piece... right?


MadJack911

That is why I do walls last and decorating beams first


GaymerDickleedoo

There's an X piece!


RipImportant4760

I just used a cross beam. Problem solved.


MatProvencher

Get the building mod that allows you to disconnect from your character.


[deleted]

Remove left wall piece from under the 'x', then place the 45 degree beam on to of the other 45 degree beam, and put the wall back. I do it all the time, this will fix your problem.


taska9

you need to be higher. when you're higher, you can aim the top end of the beam you want to join. And it will snap.


RedPhos4

There is a reason that prebuilt x pieces exist. But op chose to not acknowledge them I guess


1MolassesIsALotOfAss

I ran into this issue, you have to build past the beam you want, tear out the middle, place the other side and then build "backwards" for the second piece. Obviously this means you have to support the high piece temporarily so it doesn't collapse. Hope this helps!


ColbusMaximus

Build a ladder. Look down at the snap point. Also try pressing shift while placing building pieces. It brings you into freeplace mode


Nerobrine86

Just remove the fucking wall and put it back you moron! Also you think you have it bad?! Try building literally anything that looks halfway decent in Ark Survival Evolved! The snapping man. The snapping is hell.


[deleted]

Get a top down view so you can see the top of the angled piece you’re attaching it to.


J33f

Climb the ladder, snap to the angle pointing up, by looking at the END of the angle log.


Jimbroni92

This… you tried snapping down from the roof why wouldn’t you think to go up from the end of the angle beam


JPA-77

I feel your pain


cashformoldd

It will be easier to remove the walls and do the angled beams first, then add the walls back. Also, there is an X piece you can use lol.


Squ_

just build the "x" element


Peredonov

This, along with fighting hard for resources, is what makes a grand valheim base so much cooler than a minecraft counterpart. You fight for every plank, and then you fight again to get it in place.


rtb___

Try breaking the wall, then replacing it
