The Day/Night Cycle setting allows you to control how long daytime and nighttime last on your HumanitZ server. Adjusting these settings can help you create a faster-paced experience, extend nighttime for added difficulty, or customize the cycle to suit your server’s playstyle better. In this guide, we’ll show you how to configure the Day/Night Cycle on your HumanitZ server and adjust the daytime and nighttime durations to your preferred settings.
Changing the Day/Night Cycle
1. Log in to your Game Control Panel and navigate to your service.
2. Before making any changes, ensure that your server is fully stopped.

This helps prevent configuration changes from being overwritten or reverted to their default values.
3. Navigate to the Configuration Files tab to access your server’s configuration settings.

4. In the Configuration Files section, locate the gameserversettings.ini file, then click Config Editor next to it to open the configuration settings.

5. In the configuration file, locate the Day/Night Duration field and enter your desired duration in minutes.

6. Once you have finished editing the settings, click the Save button to apply the changes to your server.

If you prefer to modify the server name directly within the configuration file instead of using the UI, click Text Editor next to Config Editor and make your changes there.

Using the Text Editor allows you to preserve custom configurations, such as installed mods and custom scenarios, without having them overwritten or affected by the preset settings in the Config Editor.
