Day/Night cycle question

[Uncle Zed 272]

I know the day/night cycle works according to the GMT setting, but do the days get longer/shorter as the year goes on, like in real life? Shorter day light during winter, longer daylight during summer, etc?

No that would be too hard to manage server side... But that is an interesting idea for standalone maybe? Imagine not being able to camp in the forest because its too cold in winter :o

Moon cycles, yes solar cycles no. 12hrs day 12hrs night.

I think it would be cool in theory but suck in practice. the last thing I need as a new englander is seasonal affect disorder inside my video game.

Do you know what times sunrise/sunset are?
