"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!

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.

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

I've never seen a KZfaqr come out swinging like you. Every video has been fire! Maybe I will, for the first time, ring the bell

That "It's time to subscribe" was smooth af, gotta admit

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

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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!

How has this never occurred to me after this many hours of Valheim? lol - super cool... great vid!

dude this was one of the coolest tutorials ever idk why

This video was extremely good, your dry humor was perfect. Keep making videos.

Revealing the science of time to the Viking population. Hes a madman, a madman.

This has to be the best, most consice and accurate valheim tutorial I've ever watched GG

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. :)

damn , that is some next level video right there

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

You absolute madman. I salute your dedication, sir.

That's an amazing vid my Viking Friend. Thanks for doing all the legwork, pretty cool.

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

This is one of the most entertaining "How to" tips video I've ever watched! Brilliant as well.

The quality of this content is unmeasurable. In my country we would describe you as "un tipo muy capo". Greetings from Argentina.

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

I'm convinced this is one of the best KZfaq videos ever made.

I don't mind about measuring time inside of Valheim, but your ideas is impressive! Well done.

Bro, greetings from Colombia. I think you have an incredible potential to create content of this amazing game. Keep going in that way you will go so far my friend. New sub here! 👏🏻🔥

We love the perfection!

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!

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.

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.

Love the sundial ideas, but I gotta admit, very nice editings throughout the video, man. Nice job

Damn was excited to binge your content but only 4 vids. More building stuff like this would be awesome. Thank you, have a good one!

Dude! You are mvp! This would be great to test when Ashlands will be out.

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.

In northern parts of the world, the sun actually goes from SE, S, SW during the day in winter. So a sun in the southern sky is not totally unheard of.

Your are a incredible beast. For both editing and topics of your videos. And I love this thinking room !

You, sir, are a freaking hero. Thank you for blowing my mind with this!

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!

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!

I really did not expect such a scientific guide for sundials! Great work!

this is some damn fine content, the factory idea is equally great. I haven't played valheim in a bit but you're giving me an itch to play again.

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.

No sundial! That's the most handy tip I heard in a long time, thank you :D

Damn dude. You deserve way more subs. This is awesome

A portal room would be sick to see as well

Woah this video came out just in time for me to contemplate building a sundial in my Valheim world! Subbed.

Ty! Surly i will be Jarl when my brothers see this Odin dial, only one gifted by the Gods could concieve.

great deadpan delivery on your jokes, subbed!

Very good video! I like that it's in depth and with very good animations, examples and research :)

That's quality nerdy content here!

Великолепный материал и подача! Уважение настоящим мудрым викингам!

haven't even thought about that, thx for the idea, bud

Wow! It's really awesome, never saw things like this in the games before

wow! i didin't expect to find so much research when i first clicked on the video, good job!

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.

This was insane in the very best way. Definitely going into my Go To folder for Valheim.

I'm probably not going to build a sundial, but this did inspire me to build an outhouse

Good job man! I'm glad others are on the sundial

insane work, great ideas, I love it! good job and thanks for the effort and help

I've said this once before, but bro your videos are amazing!! Please keep them coming! And when is the discord server coming.... nudge nudge

This is really cool, also loved the humor in the video!

Id never heard of this game, but your video has inspired me to try it out.

bro i am rolling this content is refreshing af 😂

i havent even played valheim in like 2 years but this video slaps

Man, you are becoming one of my favorites valheim content creators!

Amazing editing, great commentary, and even giving out a cheat sheet for people wanting to make their own. Keep up the awesome work :)

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.

Thats the smoothest "Time to subscribe" in all KZfaq

dude your one liners, and little jokes that arent even verbal just on visual on the screen like "pe..." on your portal video, crack me up!

Just finished the video, this was crazy actually, you legend

Nice! Love the new video - I didn't even know sundials were a thing in Valheim, I'll have to build one now!!!

Nice video! 👍🏻 I appreciate all the effort that you put into this 😅

This is awesome. I'm going to try this out right away. Thanks!

subbed just for the amount of effort you put in to this is ridiculous i don't even really play valhiem that much anymore but damn

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!

Every Viking needs this

I respect this game for making this possible

Wow this is incredible information. Thanks making this video!

god I love this community, excellent video Sir!

Amazing video man earned a subscriber for the laughs throughout the video😂

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.

I've built all three things so far -- the house, the factory, and now the sundial. Looking forward to more stuff!

You put a lot of effort into this. Thanks

Great video as always

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

Perfect work on useless thing, i love it.

Another fantastic video, Crate! I'm embarrassed to say that I'll probably be building the big one!

Awesome guide, awesome builds, awesome vid

dude your crazy. this is awesome and deserves a sub and like!

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

Thank you for providing the text, thats super nice!😊

genuinely impressed. subbed.

Your videos are so good man.

Bloody amazing! Thanks for the idea!

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.
