The Day and Night Cycle Editor

This editor is compatible with Ark: Survival Evolved projects.

Ark allows server admins to control the speed of the days and nights individually.

Users may edit any of the fields. For example, increasing the Night Time Multiplier from 1 to 2 will update the Night Time Result from 18.62 to 9.31 minutes. Adjusting the Night Time Result back down to 16.62 will set the Night Time Multiplier to 1. Higher multiplier values will make time progress faster.

The Full Cycle value displays the total time it will take to complete one 24-hour cycle in the game.

Server admins interested in making their in-game days last one real time day might use 960 minutes for day and 480 minutes for night, equalling 1,440 total minutes.

Aberration Seasons

Aberration day and night length are based on 10-day “seasons.” Days ending in 0-3 are more balanced, while days ending in 4-6 have much longer days, and days ending in 7-9 have much longer nights. Like before, the lengths can be adjusted, but affect the global day and night multipliers. It is not possible to adjust season lengths individually.

The Day and Night Cycle editor affects the DayCycleSpeedScale, DayTimeSpeedScale, and NightTimeSpeedScale config keys.
