Hey, Oke_oku here.

I was just wondering if someone could throw together a mod where night is actually pitch black. Ive done a little coding but not in lua, so i wouldnt know where to start, but i know that it could be really simple, or really difficult, depending on how the devs did the lighting.

Thanks in advance :3

Darkness is not modable directly in the game, only by changing the current time of day.
Day has a darkness of 0 (where 0=bright as day and 1=pitch black) and it goes up to 0.85 at night, but this value is hardcoded into the game so you can never go above 0.85.
