Opinions on Time Scale

[Silly Sammy]

What day lengths do a few of you fellows prefer to play on? I really didn't like the 1 hour day length, it's too short for me, so I'm debating throwing it up to 4 hours, but then I definitely don't think I'd experience winter, which is the main reason I'm not certain yet. I also don't wish to actually start during or too terribly close to winter. Thoughts?

I play 2 hours since forever
For me, it is perfect, not too long, not too short

1 hour feels too short to me, disiked it
3+ hours feels too long, (3 is sttill okish) but i didnt liked 4 hours
A 90 minutes day is missing in my opinion, im sure i would like this one

Longuer day than default makes the game easier too
Use the other settings to compensate if needed...more zombies, rarer loot, faster ramp up to peak day...


As for winter, you can always start the game at a later date, like september

I just deleted the game I had set for 4 hours, I definitely agree that it seemed too long, I was thinking of trying 2 or 3 hours.

The longer your day, the longer things like 'healing wounds' takes. But needing to eat is less, at least it seemed that way to me.

At 1 hour, it takes 30 hours for one month to go by.
2 hours a day is 60, 3 hours is 90, you get the picture. (assuming MP)

Single player, the month might be 15 to 20 hours because of sleep.

Even though 1 hour days seems short, the yearly progression is nicer.
