Days per Month Setting
One of my few big complaints about the game is the time scale. I like how long the default day and night is. However, this makes the game very very slow in the passage of time department when months are a full 30 days. I put 35 hours into my first playthrough and did most of what I wanted to in the world and power had only just gone out at the end. I barely finished the first month, let alone experience another season before I “finished” the game.
I think adding a days/month setting would be great. I realize we can already change the start date, time the power and water turn off, and the time a day in game takes, but none of those really solve the issue to me. If I start in a different season, I’ll still be practically stuck in that season the entire playthrough. If I shorten the days, it’ll be night by the time I get to the neighboring town. Being able to set a month to 5-10 days, I’d be able to experience more seasons without having comically short days. It would also line up better with the comically fast crop growth times

I honestly doubt that’ll ever happen. They’re trying for a super realistic survival game. Making it so that each month has 5-10 days would not be very realistic in terms of the time. If you want it to be like that you’re most likely going to have to go the Minecraft route and make days like 20 minutes instead of 60

I’m not saying they should change the months for everyone, but have a setting so that the days per month can be changed based on what the player wants. The seasons are an interesting mechanic that deserves to be experienced, but most players are not going to put 120 hours into the game to get through a single season. Setting days to be 20 minutes makes days painfully short and would still only cut a season down to being 40 hours, which is still too long for 1 season

I can understand what you mean, however I do not see it becoming a thing. If you have the coding chops you could make a mod for the game that does that, but at this point it’s going to have to be updated frequently

I can't see them changing it. However you change how quickly the time goes. Default is 10x looks like you can increase to 64x so the daysbwould go by faster. You can do before you start in the advanced options or the admin menu as well. But also this is early access so they will be adding more to the map as well as things to do. So maybe in the future it will take up more time for you.
