Placement rules
The game checks 3 things before it lets Eitr Refinery go down, and it tells you none of them — it just refuses and turns the ghost red.
- Will not place in water.
- Cannot be attached to wood.
- Will not place on a slope.
Eitr Refinery belongs to the Crafting Stations category and costs Black Marble ×20, Black Metal ×5, Yggdrasil Wood ×10, Black Core ×5, Sap ×3. Valheim never states the rules that decide whether a piece will place, so they are read from the game files here: the surface it needs, the water it cannot touch, and whether it must have something above it. Those are what turn a red ghost back to blue.

How to build Eitr Refinery
What do you need to build Eitr Refinery in Valheim?
Black Marble ×20, Black Metal ×5, Yggdrasil Wood ×10, Black Core ×5, Sap ×3. Materials have to be inside the build radius of the station, not just in your inventory, which is the usual reason a piece stays greyed out with everything apparently to hand.
What station does Eitr Refinery need?
A Workbench, and you have to be standing inside its build radius. Moving the station or adding another one is what extends where you can build, not upgrading it.
Why will Eitr Refinery not place in Valheim?
Because of the 3 rules listed above. The game gives no reason when a ghost turns red; it is always one of those, and the surface is the usual culprit.
How much health does Eitr Refinery have?
1,000. That is structural health, separate from any durability an item has — it is what a raid, a fire or your own hammer has to chew through.
Where is Eitr Refinery in the build menu?
Under Crafting Stations, on Workbench. Build pieces are unlocked by picking up their materials rather than by finding a plan, so if it is missing from your hammer the answer is always a resource you have not carried home yet.
Does Eitr Refinery hold up a structure in Valheim?
It does — this piece carries support, so anything attached to it inherits a share of what it has. That share shrinks with every connection and shrinks faster sideways than upwards, which is why a long horizontal run fails where the same number of pieces stacked vertically would not.
