This mod is a simple change to the timescale value that controls how long it takes to complete a full day/night cycle, from the 2 hour+ wait by default to a much more reasonable 30.
This is a feature that sadly not many even realise exists due to the extreme amount of time it takes to even see any changes. Unlike how time works in most modern games, there are only 4 states of time that being, dawn, noon, dusk and night. The transitions between these states are admittedly quite jarring especially from dusk to night time but I think is still better than nothing at all.
Unfortunately the length of the night is very short (only around 5 mins) I wish I knew a way to make it longer but the lack of any sort of documentation on this game makes it difficult. If you're reading this and happen to have an idea then please leave a comment. This also has the unfortunate effect of making the clouds move much faster then intended, but this too, I have no idea how to fix.
Installation:
First, unpack patch.pak located in Avatar\Data_Win32 using the unpacker tool below (it's just a simple drag and drop). Then copy the engine folder into the newly created patch_unpack, Then repack that the same way you unpacked it and put it in Avatar\Data_Win32. (Make sure it's called patch.pak).
