Night is too long !

[Belli]

May be would it be cool to reduce, on each player basis, the length of the night ? Personnaly, I find it too long and fun-breaking, as what to do at night? Returning to base and do some craft, may be ? But it is even too long. Just my thought.

You need to travel with the idea that you dont want to go back to home all the time.

Always carry a flame altar, AND a premade bed+workbench. Its more immersive/convenient to sleep in the wilderness, and top off your tool durability without going home. Maybe add a small chest, to drop loot off at so you can get more when you are looting some area with a lot of stuff (searching Pikes is a good example). When you leave you get all those items back to reuse except the altar.

(If you are staying awake all night on a mountaintop solely for waiting for daybreak... you are doing it wrong, IMO)

Just go to sleep during the night. Also you can only catch fireflies during the night. And you need them for couple of recipes.

People sleeep in games, what a wate of mining, farming and exploring lol

In 30 hours of game time I think I only slept twice. It's fun to explore and do things at night, just pull out a torch or drink a light potion. Or sleep lol

True. The shroud does't seem dark at night anyways. A cave with luminescent growth doesn't seem bad ether. The woods are scary and almost had a heart attack a few times from jump scares. Not sure whether I love or hate the horror aspect of that.

How do you get jumpscared on this game? :/

I'll usually be mining or cutting down trees. Then all of a sudden something silently sneaks up from behind and starts attacking me. It's usually very unexpected.

If we are " Supposed to Sleep " then give us a bed roll to craft. I would jump to a Camp and sleep under the protection of the alter. I hate the times that I just get started and notice it getting darker. This breaks my experience a lot, so much so I'm looking for better than this offering from the Game Designers. What I dislike more is the absence from the Devs on this matter. Craft a GM...Devs!

The only sad thing is, that only the night is 60 times faster over but all the stations don't work 60 times faster...

Sleep then

Only chronics farm and explore at night. Or water the plants.

I am not a fan of getting caught out at night , some folk love it some folk hate it , making a bedroll would be an option for folks like me , even if there was no comfort boost and say the speed was only 30 x faster it would be a quality of life improvement for me and clearly the op and a few other posters , i get it some love it and that's cool .

Night is too long, until you realize you need the night to gather more spores to make the cores you need to upgrade your storage. Play the game a little longer and you'll find the night time isn't long enough.

I just keep calm and carry on.. besides easier to see the glowing eyes of wolves the mermen are even more obvious at night because they glow and the fireflies are easier to catch. And as others have pointed out if you make a bed.. you can sleep at night..

If anything is worth complaining about here, it is that you can't sleep the day away and only play at night. Which is what most of us do irl..

Why is it always that ppeople who have adifferent opinion then you have to be called a casual?

This aint the isle where night is 'importnant'

because apperantly he hasnt invested enough time in game to see if there is a solution (the bed ) to solve the (non)issue (long night)
so he is likely a casual-gamer i.e. someone spending less time than others might do with the game.

I often use nighttime to do trips into the shroud since there's better visibility without the sun glaring away overhead.

You don't need to go home to sleep, there's a lot of functional beds to be found in houses and tents. Same as with dropping a campfire to get a quick&dirty rested buff things are there to be used.

Sleeping ends night in a matter of seconds so if it starts getting dark just go home or find a bed and pop a squat for a bit. Night time has its uses and can be quite tense at times. To me it's fine as it is now.
