If you're a fan of Valheim's flexible building system, no doubt you're likely the type that spends hours making houses in The Sims and have just transitioned to do the same in Valheim. Don't worry, you're not alone. Although, if you're sick of the basic looking wooden structures, you can actually upgrade to stone. This is also great for making sure your base is more secure but you'll need a Stonecutter first.

How To Unlock The Stonecutter
To unlock the Stonecutter you'll need to head to the Swamp biome, once there you need to get yourself some Scrap Iron, this can be found in Muddy Scrap Piles dotted around the Swamp. Collect as much as you can, anything you don't use for the Stonecutter can be put towards other items. Go back to your base or wherever a Smelter is located and smelt the Scrap Iron. Doing this will give you Iron, the recipe below will craft a Stonecutter:
