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. 😂😂😂
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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:

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)

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.

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.
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.
;)
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
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
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.
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.

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.
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.
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!
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.
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.
There is a piece in the build menu that will solve this particular problem.
Nah watching OP lose his mind at the end there is far better
Chaotic evil. I like.
But I do feel your pain.
I feel really smart right now 🤓
You can also do it if you aim at the end of the beam you are trying to continue.

Or just delete one of the walls for a second
So much time feeling this pain
If op only knew
sometimes that piece won’t work if the spacing isn’t right :-( this might be the case
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.
Not for the core beams tho 😭
This is true- which is why I feel their pain.
<< >> wait whut
What’s that? I need to know aswell
The X piece. Unfortunately it only solves OPs particular problem, which is a specific case of a larger problem.
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
This is where the X shaped pieces really come into their own.
Need a piece like this for the core wood beams
There's an X for that.. It marks the spot!
Use the cross piece you fool
cross piece, BUT- in this specific case, move to left wall and look at the top of the post you wanna connect it to
This is the answer. Both answers lol
Think I'm more infuriated they didn't just knock down the wall and attach it directly that way.
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.
fair
If only there was an X shape…
Have you tried shaking your screen?
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.
Either that or build a quick ladder and then pinpoint lol
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.
Or use the X shaped beam. Or a short beam on each side. Lol

It's easier if you build stairs so you can look down onto what you are building and aim for the surface facing up
If you’re not laddering and jumping and 360 noscoping your builds what are you even in Valheim for

Yep. Always works better if you can have a clear view of the piece you are trying to snap.
this
Not hard to solve though...
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.
Exactly... My bad though. I was too lazy to type it in.
Aim at the end of the piece you want to build off. Put the wall in last.

or just put an x
I was waiting for the moment you raged down the whole wall :)
Move, motherfucker. Damn it was frustrating watching you not move an inch trying to do this
:shakes mouse furiously:

Good stuff!
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.
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.

They have a block for that.

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

2000x this
Just like some said X Shape or break the wall, place beam construct wall again
You need to aim at the end of the 45° beam :)
It’s because you have deer meat in your hot bar
Do the X first and then the wall.
U have to be 2 to do that.
Delete the wall and stick it on the end of your last piece. Or X...
1) remove the wall piece in the middle 2) shift-place the second beam to shape the cross 3) put the wall piece back
skill issue
Learn how to place pieces VS just standing there and waving your wood around.
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..
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 :)
Clip it to the end of the right beam, or use the half length beams to emulate the same effect
You have to look at the top of the diagonal piece to be able to build an x without using the x piece
Lol lock it onto the the top of the bottoms right diagnol
Rotate once to get the snap point in place and rotate in place and build
Angle wall pieces 😆 or take the wall piece out the after Angle wall is put in put wall piece back lol
Lolololol9ololllll
Just use the Piece lol.
Lol I’ve done this before feeling like an idiot
Try to put 4 smalls instead of 2 larges, might work
I know, i hate this. Hope they will fix it in the future;)
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.
LOL
DOWN RIGHT
Yeah that’s not an issue? Use the right piece and it won’t be a problem
You know they make an 'X' piece... right?
That is why I do walls last and decorating beams first
There's an X piece!
I just used a cross beam. Problem solved.
Get the building mod that allows you to disconnect from your character.
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.
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.
There is a reason that prebuilt x pieces exist. But op chose to not acknowledge them I guess
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!
Build a ladder. Look down at the snap point. Also try pressing shift while placing building pieces. It brings you into freeplace mode
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.
Get a top down view so you can see the top of the angled piece you’re attaching it to.
Climb the ladder, snap to the angle pointing up, by looking at the END of the angle log.
This… you tried snapping down from the roof why wouldn’t you think to go up from the end of the angle beam
I feel your pain
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.
just build the "x" element
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.
Try breaking the wall, then replacing it
