"Goes down south - unlike real life" - I mean, if you're anywhere on the northern hemisphere, it does in real life too. Your sundials are great though, I really have to get one set up in my game soon!
I was just about to comment this, in the northern hemisphere the sun goes across the southern sky during the day. In fact during winter the sun is primarily in the south as it rises in the southeast and sets in the southwest because of the change in earth's axial tilt :)
1:44 If you're in the Northern hemisphere the sun does indeed go to the south at noon. So it is exactly like real life since the setting of Valheim is based on the northern hemisphere.
Exactly what I was about to say. Only near the equator does the sun ever sit directly overhead. Also, hovers much closer to the southern horizon in the winter with the tilt of the Earth making it far away, and that's actually why the day is shorter. Same goes in reverse for the Southern Hemisphere
@@alurkingislander By that logic, Valheim takes place extremely far north in its hemisphere, but during the summer for a much longer day, which would then be the only reason it's not deathly cold during the day.
@@ShawnPattonC that checks out, since scandinavia is relatively far north. i'm not super familiar with valheim, but from what i've heard, it'd make sense that it takes place in that area or a fictional equivalent
@@XMaster340 Yes, we all know that. I'm just saying that it is super extra north, and that the orbital mechanics in that case are consistent with what we see in game.
Hmm. Contemplating a small decorative farm/garden in a half circle shape with benches along the wall using a pine tree as the pole to measure the time. It would integrate with the base and look nice, but also serve a function. I know, a pine tree sways, but who needs to be accurate when you can be fancy? XD
I've 100s of hours in valheim and somehow never thought of making a sundial... I love how you did this and your dedication to being accurate is amazing. Time for me to get back into my world and build a working clock!
played a lot of building games, dump a lot of hours into rust, minecraft, 7 days to die, valheim, etc...never thought to make a sun dial. i didnt know i needed to until now, thank you
9 minutes of night… it honestly feels like 2 hrs of night whenever I play. Left a “Like”… because of the amount of EFFORT to tell the time in a game. Only if you’re at your home. The easiest way to tell the Valhiem time = Have a stop watch while playing.
Thanks for the inspiration, this was great! I created my own twist and added colors to mine with green on the left and red on the right. It also makes the signs easier to read using bright colors. If anyone is interested, these are the codes I thought looked best: 21 - 20 - 1 9 --- 18 -- - 17 --- 16 ---- 15 -- -- 14 -- - 13 --- - 12 ---- - 11 --- ---- 10 -- ----- 09 -- ---- 08 -- - 07 --- - 06 --- 05 --- 04 -- 03 -- 0 2 - 01 -00 Screenshot: imgur.com/a/X6LoAOj
So glad you included all different types of dials, even figuring out the rough time without a dial at all. Most people would have gone straight the the super mega dial to show off and left it at that. Knowing the time of day has been super crucial for Ashlands as it's nearly impossible to travel at night, but unlike other zones, it can be really hard to tell what time of day it is down there.
Your videos are killer dude! Excellent work. Its difficult to break through with new and interesting topics like you have with a game thats been around for several years. Great inspiration brother, keep it up!
Absolutely adoring how much time you put into this. Ah, us Valheim builders. lol. I never thought of building a sundial. Could be a nice touch! I will certainly experiment!
This is quality youtube. Your building videos are giving me the boost I need to get over my hatred of how the hoe functions in this game so I can get into the actual rewarding part.
Easy subscribe and some insane inspiration, not to mention the effort applied to not only make a great video but also allow anyone the ease of recreating the dials themselves, now to go watch more of your channel haha
The pure dedication and attention to detail for this video AND to make it user friendly for replication is what earned my subscription tonight. Fantastic work! Thank you!
Actually, the sun is in the south for the entirety of the year when you live in Scandinavia, and IronGate is based in Sweden. It's definitely further south in the winter than in the summer, though.
Not so sure I wanna be seen in Valhalla just yet, but 100% want to make your copy & paste sun dial, because I'm a lazy viking! Thank you yet again for an incredibly well thought out video. We can all see how much time (pun intended) and effort you put into this.
Was so excited to see a new video- will make sundial after I finish my house. Only had valheim a week and because if you I ventured into the swamp yesterday and found 10 iron for my house based on your house. Your videos are awesome and funny- Love the viking thinking chair. Yesterday I leveled earth ( thanks for explaining how to do that) and laid out my 12 x 12 wood base. My new favourite youtube channel. Please keep up the good ideas and humour.
I just got hip to the game and have been loving it... NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS! So so cool. Gonna make one my very next sesh... simple one with the 45° triangular piece for a little quasi legitimacy/ authenticity. Thanks for the idea!
And now I feel the urge to build a sundial within a structure (temple, castle) or perhaps build a sundial Tower… Time Tower ! Thanks for all the inspiration
This has been on my mind since the beginning of our no map (so no mini map) community server playthrough, but non of us ever got around doing one. Now with all this sweet info we definitely need to do it! Thanks!
@@CrateOfBananas Sun comes up in the east. Run to a body of water right as you get out of bed, should normally see a nice beam of sunlight in the water that can be easily used to orient some building piece east, or click 4 times counter clockwise to have a piece orient north.
Wow I LOVE this idea! not only did you go through the effort to make a template for "any" size so it's possible to make a wall dial incredibly accurately but you also provided a quick small template to have an accurate dial AND put in the effort to put the signage in the description?? amazing! Content is also incredibly engaging and entertaining! 10/10 new favourite valheim content.
This was very impressive, man. I've used the rudimentary sundial in my games before but never anything as precise as what you've done here. Seriously, nice work and thanks for the video.
I'm such an idiot. I tried the turning to the sun trick but kept noticing it wasn't pointing true east or west and thought it was because it was mimicking real astronomy. This helps immensely!
I've not left a like on a video since YT removed the ability to view dislikes. Dropped one on this video tho, very informative AND you gave us templates to use plus the added bonus of having the sign times written in the description for anyone interested in trying this if they want to. Absolute banger of a video, looking forward to your future content!
Okay ngl, its refreshing to see your content as it's so creative ~ just when I thought I'd seen everything in Valheim Really appreciate the amount of time you've put into this, keep it up!
great ! An addition could be to indicate when you can go sleeping during the day ( it seems to be early in the afternoon 14h or 15h ) A friend always call for sleeping it's not even 12h ;)
I make a south-facing vertical wall up on the roof of the base where everyone can see it with a horizontal beam coming out of the middle. I put a sign that says "morning" on the west side of the wall and a sign that says "evening" on the east side.
A tip for anyone going to the swamp, you cant really see the sun there but you can use the shadows coming off the trees to determine where the sun is. The opposite direction the shadow is pointing is where the sun is, just like the sundial
Funfact, the accuracy of a sundial goes down the further you get to the equator and likewise the poles. A sundial like this only works in some lattitudes. Likewise, indicators for the dial needs to be on the southern side when on the southern hemisphere. Personally i'd like to imagine that big Obelisks in the centre of large plazas or parks act as the spire for a sundial. Prolly intended as such. Usually overlooked though. Funnily enough, if the equator was perfect (ie. the earth didnt wobble a bit, wasnt tilted, and its orbit didnt varry) one could have a bowl with a stick for a sundial at it.
Your videos are so incredible that I was stunned when I saw you only had 4 of them! Keep up the great work dude, if you're looking for suggestions for a new video, some sort of "niche building tips" video could be really good. Things similar to the trick you used with the door to position that beam.

TFW you accidentally reveal you live near or south of the equator
@@bgiv2010 Probably near since it would be the same in reverse far enough South
And especially in the far north like what I would imagine Valheim would be set in with Vikings and such.
theres nothing like those south facing driveways in snowy states

"I did some googling and found out that 21 is actually the same as 7 times 3" cracked me up way more than it should have.
lmao now im laughing too
I love how you made a complicated video about grand sundials and then just simplified it enough for my monkey brain to wanting to build it
hahahaha for me too
That "It's time to subscribe" was smooth af, gotta admit
Brilliant and nerdy as hell, I love it. Definitely building this.
I've never seen a TH-camr come out swinging like you. Every video has been fire!
Maybe I will, for the first time, ring the bell

never played valheim but i find it so cool and interesting you have build a physical sundial instead of just having the time on a hud

Really cool build! Saving your colour palette for replicating, thanks for sharing!
That's great, I didnt find the energy to play around with the colors and sizes, but i figured there must be something there. I love that you did this
This author is an absolute genius! The sundial ideas are brilliant, and I'm so grateful they shared this knowledge with us. Truly inspiring work!☀️
Great guide! I saw this and immediately had to start making sundials in my world..

This is a phenomenal video for how small your channel is. Clearly a lot of effort went into it, and that hasn't gone unnoticed. :)
thanks but i got thousands of subscribers buddy, not that small ok?
Your OCD would make Swiss watch makers happy.
My main base is a big black marble squat circular tower and I never found a use for the huge circular roof, but now I have the perfect use, thanks!
The northern hemisphere has entered the chat (where the sun stays in the south during winter)
Tks
It stays on the south always... because its the northern hemisphere...
@@iagomiguez5784arctic summer be so loud
@@iagomiguez5784it would be pretty odd if the sun rose in the south only to go up and straight back down…
I don't mind about measuring time inside of Valheim, but your ideas is impressive! Well done.
Your videos are killer dude! Excellent work. Its difficult to break through with new and interesting topics like you have with a game thats been around for several years.
Great inspiration brother, keep it up!
Thank you! I've seen a whole bunch of your content. The videos breaking down all the weapons, and shields and armor were great, I learned a lot.
thanks man. Keep creating killer videos!@@CrateOfBananas
Not sure how you got me to watch this entire video.
well done.
Thanks for the copy and paste G
Your are a incredible beast. For both editing and topics of your videos.
And I love this thinking room !
I could have stopped watching at 2 min into this video, but I love this shit, well done!
How has this never occurred to me after this many hours of Valheim? lol - super cool... great vid!
Absolutely adoring how much time you put into this. Ah, us Valheim builders. lol. I never thought of building a sundial. Could be a nice touch! I will certainly experiment!
This is quality youtube. Your building videos are giving me the boost I need to get over my hatred of how the hoe functions in this game so I can get into the actual rewarding part.
That was the best ask for a sub I've ever seen. Well played sir.
I love your valheim dream house. I built it on my world.sundial is also awesome
The quality of this content is unmeasurable. In my country we would describe you as "un tipo muy capo". Greetings from Argentina.

You're videos are a lot of fun to watch. Very quick humor. Its great
Note IronGate is in the northern hemisphere, so for them, the majority of the wintertime, the midday sun is south.
Actually, the sun is in the south for the entirety of the year when you live in Scandinavia, and IronGate is based in Sweden. It's definitely further south in the winter than in the summer, though.

tower sounds great
damn , that is some next level video right there
I really did not expect such a scientific guide for sundials! Great work!

how will you know the orient it tho?

10:58 My dude accidentally reinvented Jorge Luis Borges' "On Exactitude in Science"
You, sir, are a freaking hero. Thank you for blowing my mind with this!
This was insane in the very best way. Definitely going into my Go To folder for Valheim.
ha, got me with the time to subscribe, creative way of asking something a lot of creators struggle to fit into videos fluidly.

Thank you for the in depth look at the data for this. Must have taken some time. Also like that im seeing recent content for this game!
I'm such an idiot. I tried the turning to the sun trick but kept noticing it wasn't pointing true east or west and thought it was because it was mimicking real astronomy. This helps immensely!
haven't even thought about that, thx for the idea, bud
Woah this video came out just in time for me to contemplate building a sundial in my Valheim world! Subbed.
You absolute madman. I salute your dedication, sir.
great deadpan delivery on your jokes, subbed!
Thank you, sir!
It was a pleasure watching.
You're a very clever and funny bloke, I have subscribed for sure 👍🏻 This is a superb sundial guide 👌
