Three Levels of Sundial 🕗 Valheim Time Keeping

[@Thkya]

"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!

[@Virtrial]

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 :)

[@bgiv2010]

TFW you accidentally reveal you live near or south of the equator

[@alurkingislander]

@@bgiv2010 Probably near since it would be the same in reverse far enough South

[@Alexander_Grant]

And especially in the far north like what I would imagine Valheim would be set in with Vikings and such.

[@johnsontommyg]

theres nothing like those south facing driveways in snowy states

[@TNH91]

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.

[@alurkingislander]

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

[@ShawnPattonC]

@@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.

[@mozarteanchaos]

@@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]

@@ShawnPattonC It's a game set in the Viking mythology. They were called Norsemen for a reason.

[@ShawnPattonC]

@@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.

[@thisnameistaken]

"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.

[@ThomasMatlock]

lmao now im laughing too

[@kot32222]

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

[@FzAndrade]

hahahaha for me too

[@mitmon_8538]

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

[@circleofowls]

Brilliant and nerdy as hell, I love it. Definitely building this.

[@SpecVenom]

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

Really cool build! Saving your colour palette for replicating, thanks for sharing!

[@CrateOfBananas]

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

[@Donnfindel]

Man, you -are -crazy. That is awesome. Especally that you did all the work and let us have the fun with it. Cool.

[@MrHatetheplayer]

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

[@Sorrus-B4lyfe]

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.

[@wheezy1587]

dude this was one of the coolest tutorials ever idk why

[@sirdino2613]

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

[@tyarthas]

The northern hemisphere has entered the chat (where the sun stays in the south during winter)

[@marceloleite132]

Tks

[@iagomiguez5784]

It stays on the south always... because its the northern hemisphere...

[@andyroberts310]

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!

[@G1bb3r1sh]

That was the best ask for a sub I've ever seen. Well played sir.

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..

[@mexicanhalloween]

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!

[@isaacfullerton]

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. :)

[@CrateOfBananas]

thanks but i got thousands of subscribers buddy, not that small ok?

[@lucaxb1651]

Not sure how you got me to watch this entire video. well done. Thanks for the copy and paste G

[@dracoslayer16]

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.

[@AntoniDardziński]

I love your valheim dream house. I built it on my world.sundial is also awesome

[@JonatanRaven]

I could have stopped watching at 2 min into this video, but I love this shit, well done!

[@jrsimeon02]

Note IronGate is in the northern hemisphere, so for them, the majority of the wintertime, the midday sun is south.

[@Niobesnuppa]

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.

[@oblxlab]

how will you know the orient it tho?

[@TwoPunchBrothers]

@@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.

built 1 meter box sundail in all my games since the game came out. was nice an compact way to see about what time it was. used the 1m wall to build a box, north-aligned. Then used the 1/2m floors to top it. On the side that was to the north and center, added on the top of the box a 1m post. On the other sides added. West: rise -->, East: --> Set, South: --> noon --> is good enough to know early game if I should run out or sleep. but also easy fitting in a base with out taking up a lot of room
