Year Lengths and Calendar

[Tamara]

An idea to have the option to have a 365 day year for ultimate realism playthroughs… Each Parafolk will have a birthday once a year… Pregnancy lasting 9 months… It’s hardcore but I’d love it

I think it would be a little too much.. maybe 80 to 100 days it’s already enough. Personally, having longer days ( I mean in TS the days are too short, you can do nothing during your day ) would be really cool ! But I do want a calendar

Sorry for my English I’m not a native speaker

I believe one of the devs said that the calender/year would be “abstract” on Twitter.

I’m guessing that means it’ll be like the Sims/Harvest Moon where you just have the seasons acting as the months of the year.

It’ll probably be possible through the modding tools to give your paras a super long lifespan though.

I think that would be a bit too much. Espeically if they end up actually using gradual aging. Everything would just take way too long.

That said, I do hope we end up with a calendar. I think it would be nice to have decently lengthed “years”, but 365 in-game days sounds way too long. 40 weeks of pregnacy, sounds like it would be a chore. Though maybe something like this could be optional if people really want to play that way.

I actually feel like a hypothetical caldendar would just be a shortened version of what we have now. Like maybe a month would be 20 days instead of 30. A year would be 6 months instead of 12. That’s just how I imagined it, but I’m interested in seeing what the team decides.

I think 365 days would be far too long and I also don’t like the thought of waiting 40 days for pregnancy.

It would be great to be given the option to personalise how long the days last I.e. from 10min to 60min. As well as how many days in a year I.e. From 30days to 365days.

personally i would love that! but i don’t think everyone else would want it to be that long. it would be cool if it was an option in the games settings. maybe the player could set the number of days in a game year?
