📋 About This Mod
This mod is meant for Alpha 20 and so does NOT WORK for the latest version (2. 6) of 7 Days to Die. Here are some similar mods that are far more recently updated:
HOW IT WORKS
Now, all traders close at 23:59 and open at 00:01, so you'll hear "trader joel's is now closed" then immediately after "trader joel's is now open." So essentially they'll be closed for a split second at midnight, so you'll be teleported out but you'll immediately be able to re-enter.
