📋 About This Mod
Description
Even Longer Days, inspired by Longer Days, but with greater granularity for day/night cycle length.
Where vanilla feels REALLY quick:
Vanilla | 1 minute IRL = ~24 minutes in game | Day Cycle = ~1 hour
I decided to try and have a go at modding the game to include the following presets:
2x longer | 1 minute IRL = ~12 minutes in game | Day Cycle = ~2 hours;
4x longer | 1 minute IRL = ~6 minutes in game | Day Cycle = ~4 hours;
8x longer | 1 minute IRL = ~3 minutes in game | Day Cycle = ~8 hours;
12x longer | 1 minute IRL = ~2 minutes in game | Day Cycle = ~12 hours;
16x longer | 1 minute IRL = ~1. 5 minutes in game | Day Cycle = ~16 hours;
24x longer | 1 minute IRL = ~1 minute in game | Day Cycle = ~24 hours;
Community requested presets:
3 hours day cycle;
