This small and simple mod makes day & night last 3 times longer.
Day and night cycle lasts 21 minutes of real time with this mod VS 7 minutes of real time without mods.
Download (1 kb)
Mod can be configured to extend only day or nigh, proportions are also configurable.
Code: Select all
-- configuration inside control.lua
local EXTEND_NIGH = 2 -- (integer) This variable controls how much extended the night will be, can be set to zero for standard 3.5 minutes night
local EXTEND_DAY = 2 -- Same as above but for day
-- For example, setting EXTEND_DAY to 1 and setting EXTEND_NIGH to 2 will make 7 minutes long days and 10.5 minutes long nights

@MCDomYT, this is not the purpose of this mod, if you really need to get rid of night then just type this in the console:
No mods necessary.

"screen"? Did you mean you want a picture? Why? That's a mod with no need for a picture, and it would even be pretty hard to make a picture.
An easy question: Why would you make the night any longer? xD

I'm not aiming at making only night longer, the whole day/night cycle feels too short (only 7 minutes of real time)
If you're interested in making nights longer I suggest looking at
this mod to make nights less boring.

Suggest altering data file.
Suggest the default (3 and a half minutes?) be 210 for 210 seconds, for each, or else 3.5 for 3 and a half minutes.
Otherwise, 1 should be normal night/day length, 2 doubled, and 0.5 halved, and so on.
Add commented data (ignored data) which states how it interprets the data.

I can hardly understand what you're trying to say. Commented data? Ignored data? WUT?

Cool beans. I did some maths, and some art. I made a good solar panel and accumulator grid, like the useful one that works on the usual speed. With the default 3 times length, the ratio to aim for is 2.52 accumulators per solar panel. Fitting that into a grid looks like this.

well, it does not work for me.
I edited the Mod to fix it, but i'm still getting this: "__DayNightExtender__/control.lua:11: LuaBootstrap doesn't contain key freeze_daytime."
Sadly, I can't find the Vanilla code to compare it, so i have to deactivate the Mod.
Got any ideas where the Vanilla day/night code is?
