Day and Night setting and actual duration

[Dav_X_Little]

Customizing Day & Night speed can be confusing.
Wouldn't it be nice to actually see real time duration for those in game?

For now, here are the result after some testing and research.
*Had to do some testing and look over a couple of forum, topic, guide and redit to figure it all.

Day :
x 0.1 = 270 minutes
x 0.2 = 135 minutes
x 0.3 = 90 minutes
x 0.4 = 67.5 minutes
x 0.5 = 54 minutes
x 0.6 = 45 minutes
x 0.7 = 38.5 minutes
x 0.8 = 33.75 minutes
x 0.9 = 30 minutes

x 1(default) = 27 minutes

x 2 = 13.5 minutes
x 3 = 9 minutes
x 4 = 6.75 minutes
x 5 = 5.4 minutes

Night :
x 0.1 = 50 minutes
x 0.2 = 25 minutes
x 0.3 = 16.6 minutes
x 0.4 = 12.5 minutes
x 0.5 = 10 minutes
x 0.6 = 8.3 minutes
x 0.7 = 7.2 minutes
x 0.8 = 6.25 minutes
x 0.9 = 5.5 minutes

x 1(default) = 5 minutes

x 2 = 2.5 minutes
x 3 = 1.66 minutes
x 4 = 1.25 minutes
x 5 = 1 minutes

Very interesting, thank you for your time testing and researching.
As of Feb 26th, is this still accurate?

I've been trying to explore at night, it going slowest as possible, at 0.1...
And if I'm working on the base and need the Pals I can always go to sleep to skip the night, I really like to play like that, will see how it affects Pal SAN recovery time...

Very useful data. thank you for share. I am surprised at how short night was.

Absolute champion.
Had i have more points you'd be getting some form of award sir.
Appreciate you and others like you.

Surprised that default night is only 5 minutes, it feels eternal when you are doing nothing but a flash when you are catching a night pal

I'm confused on how 0.1 is over 200 minutes, but 1, which is a greater length than 0.1, is only 27 minutes. Did you mean 0.1 is over 200 seconds, that's the only thing that makes sense, because if it's not, then your math is off, way off.

Nope, the math is correct. The setting actually stands for the speed at which the time passes. So 0,1 actually means that the time passes by at 1/10th the speed. So a day or night then takes 10 times as long to pass.

.1 is 10 percent, so when you see 270 and 27, the percentage is obviously correct. It's just in reverse. And then if you just looked at x2, it is half of x1.

Hi all,

I haven't played Palworld in a while, so I can't say if my original post is still accurate.
There were lot of patch since February, guess a lot changed and bug were fixed.

On a side note, back in the day, I encountered some issue with monster & dungeon respawn when messing with day/night speed.
Don't know if those bug are still arround, but you'll be warned that a lot of stuff in game are tied to day/night cycle.
So increasing or reducing those setting will affect how often you can fight boss and instanced monster.

Thanks for the reward on my OP.
Glad this helped.
