Aberration day night cycle

[Intrepid Knight]

Is the day and night cycle strange one the aberration map. I have a cluster and my ini config seems to have no effect on the aberration map. No matter what I do. It's always 90% day 10% night. The other map. Is ragnarok and it's working fine. Thoughts?

It alternates but im not sure if there is a pattern to it, some days anre 90% day 10% night, others 50 50, and some 90% night 10% day. From what I can guess its to simulate the damaged ark rotating through space irregularly. If you go into your inventory, next to time of day, it will tell you what that day/night cycle will be.

Ah I see. So maybe I don't need to roll back

[Serangel]

No, if you havent messed with the time settings for AB thats how it supposed to be. I thought the same thing when i first played it, i thought the server admins were just changeing day/night for the heck of it till i noticed the %'s next to time in inventory.

thanks everyone

it switches every 3 ingame days.
the cycle goes from 50d / 50n -> 90d / 10n -> 10d / 90n -> repeat

is it:

50% d/n -> 90%d/10%n -> 50% d/n -> 10%d/90%n repeating? or what you've stated above @SpeedFreak3?

edit:
watching this closely to time a trip to the surface.

On my server's day 255 we started 90% day/10% night.
at 5:30 a.m. the "day" clock is going at 9x slower the rate from 00:01 to 05:30 a.m.

Days ending in 0-3 are 50/50, 4-6 is 90/10 day/night, 7-9 is 10/90 day/night. Hope this helps.

For anyone wondering you can leave for the surface in a 1:9 night at approximately 18:00 and you must be out of the surface at 06:00 or else you will be burnt alive. Tested it myself :)

I'm not getting this. Its 90%day, 10%night right now, and 20:00 - I just tried to step out and got burned. Is it ALWAYS 18:00 to 6:00am, or do the times vary with the day cycles?

Times are the same irrespective of season, only the clock speeds up or slows down to make the time pass faster/slower. So yes, whether it's 90n10d or 10n90d, you can go to the surface at the same times.

I will say that those times quoted are slightly off though. It actually goes from the half hour - 17:30 - rather than 18:00. And daylight returns at 5:30, not 6:00.
