Introduction

The day-night cycle in HumanitZ directly affects gameplay, visibility, survival difficulty, and the overall game pace. Shorter days create a more intense survival experience, while longer daylight hours give players more time to explore, build, and gather resources.

Configuration

The day and night duration is controlled in the GameServerSettings.ini file. You can find this file under the Configuration tab of your game server (raw text view). In the config file, look for the following parameters:

Code

;Day duration in minutes
DayDur=40
;Night duration in minutes
NightDur=20

The values are given in minutes:

DayDur – Controls how long the day lasts
NightDur – Controls how long the night lasts

To change the cycle length, simply adjust the numbers to your desired duration. Example for longer days and shorter nights:

Code

DayDur=60
NightDur=15

After editing the file, save your changes and restart the server for the new settings to take effect.

Conclusion

Congratulations! By adjusting the DayDur and NightDur values in the GameServerSettings.ini, you have successfully changed the day-night cycle on your HumanitZ game server. If you have any further questions or need assistance, our support team is available daily! 🙂
