Day Night Cycle

Would you plz for good Shake Add A switch so you can Turn OFF night Time Plz or At least lessen the nights to only 2 hours

Whats wrong with night time? Other than, well, its dark

Unreasonable demand. The planet actually rotates and that is why you have day/night cycle.

I could go for a habitat that once built gives life support and you can sleep a few hours at night.

You mean fast forward time like Minecraft? I suppose that might work, but all entities must be regenerated at the new time...might be slow.

I guess it wouldn't work in multiplayer, so might be too much effort for a solo game feature. Not really worth it. Heck, work lights are nearly free so no big deal.

I know...that is why it was an unreasonable demand.

Besides, baddies spawn more at night. I'm guessing the OP doesn't like baddies to come and eat him/her. In fact I'm all for more baddies to mob light sources at night...hm, more fresh meat for me.

Adding a moon around the planets in order to get moon phase lighting effects would be nice (night brighter on full moon, etc:) Or maybe just simulated moon phase lighting without a moon.

A helmet light could come in handy.

...
this, or flash light on higher tier weapons (by now only pistol tier2 has it ... and assault rifle) ... but day/night cycle is allright - makes game more difficult and interesting - its survival isnt it? :D

I only play it since yesterday, but there are plenty kinds of lamps in the game :)
And drones that destroys your small vessel while you are mining and then you get out of that hole after ten minutes, happy to finally found cobalt and your ship is gone. You won't make it back, because the way is freaking long on foot and you get killed by a minigun-drone after your ammo is out.
Then you will ragequit and... oh wait... that was me... nevermind...

Gotta learn to mine properly....and learn to listen for that distinctive drone sound. I mean, what if it was a troop transport?

[Murder-H0BO]

just saying this is the second time building a base it gets whiped out from troops i cant see they walways attack me at night

[Muffinman]

That's not really a good reason to change day/night cycle. Learn to survive better or play creative, where you can turn the time flow off and set it forever day time.

i am not saying change the game mutli player just add a damn turn off switch for single player what i am suggesting will not effect any one else in the commuity every other game like this has a time ajustment 7days to die Rust life is fudeul nevus inlop just to name you few you act like iam askign them to take the feature out of the game completely this is not the case i just want less dark lets say this planet has a very slow spin and is tidaly locked if it makes you feel batter:)

thats seems like the most immersive possiblity for single player at least
