Beef's Longer Orbital Periods

Beef's Longer Orbital Periods

WARNING: This is a StationeersLaunchPad Plugin Mod. It requires BepInEx to be installed with the StationeersLaunchPad plugin. See: https://github.com/StationeersLaunchPad/StationeersLaunchPad

This plugin gives you control over the length of the day/night cycle in Stationeers. You can set it really fast, really slow, however you want.

If you don't want to update the value in StationeersLaunchPad config, it also supports writing values with the console, these are saved to the config file and so don't need to be updated again every time you load the game.

It should work as a serverside-only mod, not requiring clients to have it installed. Automatically disables its patch if it detects you're connecting to someone elses world to reduce possible sheninangans.

Press F3 to open the console and use the time command. - To see current settings: time - To set a new multiplier: time multiplier

Settings are automatically saved to your config file and persist between game sessions.

Examples: - time 0.5 (10-minute day) - time 1.0 (20-minute day - game default) - time 3.0 (1-hour day - mod default) - time 6.0 (A 2-hour day)

Time Commands

- time - Show current settings - time multiplier - Set a custom multiplier - time real-moon - 29.53x (~10 hours) - time real-mars - 1.027x (~20.5 min) - time real-europa - 3.551x (~1 hr 11 min) - time real-venus - 116.75x (~39 hours) - time real-mimas - 0.942x (~18.8 min)

Plant Scaling

By default, the mod does not affect plant growth or light/darkness requirements.

Growth Speed Scaling - Three modes are available: - Disabled - Vanilla plant growth speed - UseDayLength - Plants grow slower by the same multiplier as day length - Custom - Use a separate multiplier just for plant growth

Light/Dark Requirement Scaling - When enabled, plant light and darkness requirements per day are multiplied by the day length multiplier.

Plant Commands

- plants - Show current plant settings - plants growth off - Disable growth scaling (vanilla) - plants growth on - Scale growth by day length - plants growth value - Use custom growth multiplier - plants light on|off - Toggle light/dark requirement scaling

Day/Night Ratio

By default, the mod uses an equal day/night cycle (50/50). You can change the ratio so that daytime is longer or shorter than nighttime.

This works by speeding up or slowing down the entire orbital simulation depending on whether the sun is above or below the horizon.

Day/Night Commands

- daynight - Show current day/night ratio settings - daynight percent - Set day percent (1-99) - daynight on|off - Enable/disable day/night ratio

Storm Scaling

By default, storm duration scales with day length so storms take up the same proportional time as vanilla. Vanilla storms are between 2 and 10 minutes.

Three duration modes are available: - Disabled - Vanilla storm duration - UseDayLength - Storm duration scales with day length multiplier (default) - Custom - Use a separate multiplier just for storm duration

Storm Commands

- storms - Show current storm settings and weather state - storms duration off - Disable storm duration scaling (vanilla) - storms duration on - Scale duration by day length - storms duration value - Use custom duration multiplier
