Day/Night cycle

[Lord Nosson]

Is it sped up or is that the real time rotation of the planent?

How many hours is a full cycle in universe?
How long is it in real time?

20 minutes of daylight, 15 minutes of night.

you can slow it down by typing 'daynightspeed [insert value here, 1 is default] into the console. I like to set it to .1, so night and day take 10 times longer. The only thing that sucks is crafting time slows down as well, so when I am crafting I set it back to normal, then back to .1 when I leave the lifeboat.

Once you start going deep enough you won't care if it's day or night. Because it will always look like it's night.

It's dark down there.

Best post, by far. I played all the way through my first time and never cared.

Let me update this: in the current version (Oct 2020) of Subnautica (the original game, not the one in the snow) a whole day lasts approx 20mn of realtime, divided into approx 15mn of daylight and 5mn of night.

Anything below 200-250 meters will quickly see you loose track of day and night.
Solar panels stop working a little past the 200 mark, as there's no sunlight down there.

For comparison, max depth is about 1700.
