[Senpainick]

please extend way too short

Once you unlock the perk where you can't get hypothermia you can stay out as long as you have food, water and oxygen.

I have just made a mod for my self that allows to configure day and night length.
By default it is 24 real time minutes for a day, and 10 real time minutes for the night.
With my mod i have a config file, where i can override these settings.
I am now currently testing it with 3 hours for a day and 3 hours for the night, but it can be set to anything.
Its amazing :-) Love it now already.
It just scales the time, hence preserving the balance.
Means, you still have to eat one or two times a day, it just takes much longer now before you get hungry.

I am going to publish the mod on nexusmods when im happy with tests. But if you want, i can share with you in advance so you can participate in testing.

Hard part is finding said blueprint.. I've got all blueprints in my local area with enough time to get home before the cold hits and have yet to find a new blueprint (due to the cold)..? Do you just go for a shot in the dark by picking a certain structure and hope you get that blueprint before the cold gets ya?

I typically just loot all the bases...don't grind for parts first. I usually print the parts I need through mining so I can get Mechanics points. After I unlock level 2 grinder, then I start grinding. You can get to a lot of bases if you just run through and loot only. I've hit at least 5 before I had to get back.

That doesn´t matter, because you will start dying of sleep deprivation pretty soon. The days are far too short, far, far too short. Wake up, eat, drink, harvest, create seeds, make new meals, plant seeds again and you are ready to go to sleep again. I would also love to be able to place my seed maker into the greenhouse.

Use TimeScaleMod, that solves this problem. You have much more time and you can accompish much more tasks through the day. Relaxed.

This is possible!
You can place a composter and seed maker at the backwall of the greenhouse. Right across the fields at the opposite side of incubators.

Oh, never tried to place it next to the composter, thanx.

But at the same time, the game actually ends. Everything is already open. There's nothing else to do

well, its not that we are against mods, but have in mind, that mods may (and do) cause bugs. If you install mod, and later, you have some bug, you have to add info in report, otherwise its lots of time wasted, while it can be simply caused by the mod.

OF course Lukasz, I think this is clear. I am software engineer myself, I understand the issue. Of course you cannot blame the team for bugs if you use mods. You cannot file a single bug report if you have any mods installed. If you suspect to have found a bug and want to report it, you should always reproduce the same bug with all mods disabled to be sure that its not coming from a mod. Everyone who is using mods should know that.
