Creative mode Day/Night

Hello,

I just want to suggest 1 thing regarding creative mode.

Night cycle should be eliminated and be day time all the time(or being able to switch it manually) .. as you go in creative mode to create your vessel/base but it's annoying when it's night time.

Thanks

 

You can control both the time and how fast it advances in creative mode. IIRC it's a hand or cloud icon on the ESC menu.

 

Your suggestion has one drawback
When People create Bases or Vessels and they want to check how lights, active or passive, looks the need the night time to check it.

Side Note:
If you are talking about the Planet rotation cycle - you can stop that by hitting once escape and reduce the passing time to ZERO while choosing in the other slider pure daylight

 

You can set the time and lock it so it won't change. Hit ESC go to Debug Options there are two sliders one for Global Time and one for Speed just set the speed to zero. Nighttime is still useful in creative when you want to test lights or play with glowing textures.

 

I agree with this.....At least time should mach the real time aka 1 game hour 1 real time hour.

 

This isn't really possible.
The day/night cycle depends on where you are on the planet/moon. When it's day in one part it's night in other parts of the same planet.
This is because they rotate on an axis.

You can already lock your current location on the planet to day or night (or any time in between) by setting the rotation speed to 0 as mentioned above. However once you start flying around the planet you will eventually end up leaving that day or night zone and will have to adjust the local time again.

The only way to make it permanently day or night is to set that rotation speed to zero and then always stay put in that one spot. You will have to reset the rotation speed every time you reload the game too.

 

It would help if the time speed and global time settings were saved and restored as part of the save game.

Another option might be a creative mode daylight follow mode - ie as you move around the planet, the sun is moved to follow you so you remain at local noon.

 

wth? in creative.. hitting esc, the time silder is gone?? how to change time of day now in creative??

 

It's still there.
You can also use console command:
