Day/night cycle, server settings and other ones
We are trying to help people playing on our server. Most people don't like night, so we want to make it shorter. We thought we did it by changing the NightTimeSpeedScale below, but it appears to take just as long.

The other thing is trying to help people with Fiber at higher levels. Does the HarvestAmountMultiplier help with that? If so, how much per point?


HarvestAmountMultiplier=1
DayCycleSpeedScale=1
NightTimeSpeedScale=1
DayTimeSpeedScale=1

Thanks

We changed out Day Cycle to = 0.25000 So the days last longer

We changed night to =10.00000 Night goes by in about 25 seconds on that setting.

Note if you charge the harvest amount its going to change the harvest amount for EVERYTHING. If you bump it up to 2 you will get twice as much.

DayCycleSpeedScale=1 = 28min is default (1). This is a full Day / Night Cycle. Say you want a Cycle to tak twice that long, change it to .5 instead.

NightTimeSpeedScale=1 = Changing this to say.. 2 will double the speed that night goes.

DayTimeSpeedScale=1 = Changing this to say .5 will nearly double the length of the day time.

Is there a setting for the heat/cold? The swings are insane, we would like to make them not so extreme.

Have seen nothing to adjust heat and cold ramifications.

Also, this helped me I will share in hope it helps others......
For the server setting options you can view a value of 1.0 as 100% (and this is the default for stock/official game).
So value of 1.20 would be 120% and 0.5 would be 50%.
When I am testing changes I find myself thinking of thing in % compared to stock game and it helps to tweek a bit.
