Are Day and Night cycles the same length ?

[Hellrazer001]

I would swear days are about half as long as the nights ! It seems to come light and the next thing I know its going dark again, but the night just drags on and on.

[Brooklyn Dude]

Last I heard it was even 1 hour of day and 1 hour of night.

[Mr. Indubitably]

State of Decay features a two-hour day cycle, with one hour each of day and night.

Yeah, I must say nights feel longer than days, though I think this is just my own perceptions as I hate night cycles, the chances of dieing increase dramaticly as it's so much easier not to see the freak hiding up hte street, yet they can see you...

[Hellrazer001]

They seemed even before the last patch but I could swear they are longer after it, but as RUIN said, it could be my imagination as well.
But I am pretty sure that last day only lasted about 15 minutes, I think i will have to time them uggh.

Whenever I see the sun come up I panic, because I know it's going to get dark again soon. :)

The nights feel longer...and...btw...
When the light begins to change, I sometimes feel a little strange, A little anxious when it's dark

[Romuhousu]

Fear of the dark, fear of the dark. I have a constant fear that something's always near.

I too think the nights feel longer. I wish there was an option to reduce the lenght of night-time. It's so gloomy and depressing and freaking scary when suddenly a feral jumps at you from the dark.

Well, I'm not getting the ''Survived another Day'' report everytime a cycle completes. Seems like buged to me, like the fact that my Ammo Locker doesn't get restocked each day like it should or receive the proper amount of Resources from my Outposts. Seem like major bugs to me

Way to necro a thread from over a year ago...

The freaks are blind, so they can't see you. They use other senses. So it makes sense that they are unaffected by day/night cycles.

There are two "day" counters in the game - in game and real life. Survived another day only happens for real life days, and only if you are not in game when the date changes.

It is not bugged, it is just part of running the "logged off" simulation.

lol, sooo... the survivors survive another day based on my timezone instead of the game's ?!
I'm sorry, but that doesn't make sense and shouldn't be happening xD !
It must be a bug that mixes up my timezone with the game's.

[Prometheus]

No. It is not a bug, it is a feature. The game runs as a persistent world, which means life goes on when you log off. The "Survived another day" event is part of the persistent logged off world. It is working as designed. You can even manipulate it by changing the date on your computer between sessions.

[Krieg Korps!]

Shouldn't the game's timezone be synchronized with the game's full 24-h ?
So time passes on, three game days elapse and I don't get a daily report, unless a
real-life 24-h completes its cyrcle, thus not receiving or consuming any of the Home's
resources ?

What you are saying doesn't make sense one bit. It's obviously a bugg that uses your PC's
calendar as a Journal, but mixes up its time mechanism with the game's.
