Day Night cycle

[builder680]

So I've searched on this and found some info but am still having trouble. I want my day cycle to be 90 real life minutes, with 75 minutes being day and 15 minutes being night. Does anyone know what numbers to plug into my server config to achieve this?

One full day with default settings 50 mins, 30 secs long

Using the default setting of
DayCycleSpeedScale=1.000000
NightTimeSpeedScale=1.000000
DayTimeSpeedScale=1.000000

So for your settings, I would try
DayCycleSpeedScale=0.333333
NightTimeSpeedScale=1.666666
DayTimeSpeedScale=1.000000

(maybe I math is off but that is close)

I only tried this calc: https://ark-days.herokuapp.com/
DayCycleSpeedScale=0.56306
DayTimeSpeedScale=0.78788
NightTimeSpeedScale=1.4667

Real-life minutes per cycle: 90
daytime length: 20
nighttime length: 4

Since it's a 5:1 ratio with 75:15 transfered to 24hours. Dont hate me if something is wrong :D

DayCycleSpeedScale=1
NightTimeSpeedScale=1.239708
DayTimeSpeedScale=0.5520584000000001

from this site (I had lost track of it, got it bookmarked again now):

Yeah Brain I tried that herokuapp too. I must have been using it wrong, I only got like 45 minute days and like 10 minute or so nights with it when I plugged in the numbers I wanted.

It references "real life minutes" and "in game hours" and I can't understand that. Everything should be in "real life minutes," because I'm using those to try to control the "in game hours," so why would I want to use "in game hours" as a unit of measurement to control the "in game hours?" Maybe I just don't understand, but it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever to me.

The one I linked above has easier use I think. It's German but it's easy enough to figure out. Especially if you know "nacht" means night. That's all you really need to understand it.

On a side note, I've seen people ask about slowing way down hair growth. I use

HairGrowthSpeedMultiplier=0.03

and it takes a few real life days to grow even stubble, so you can tweak from there.
