    as you already know there is a night and day on the planets and worlds. i thought that like in the real world time is different on most planets depending where you are, so on the planet that you started on the time zone would be similar to the ones around it but as you venture to different parts the time changes such as...


    So say one day on a planet would be 2 on another so on that planet if you spent 2 days on it mabye only one would of passed on a different one due to the orbit.


    It would also be good if you could have certain machines that could slow down or speed up the orbit so it would have its pros and cons


    but if you spent a certain amount of time on one planet and moved to another your character could subdue to affects such as nausea or slowness or confusion because the time zones would be different

    for the affects slowness would make your person move slower or do actions slower

    confusion could mabye invert your WASD keys so they get scrambled in to different orders so A could make you jump so on so forth

    nausea could make your screen shake or sway so it would be harder to see or explore


    these effects would only happen if you spent about 15 in-game days on that planet

    but these effects can be counteracted buy special medicine or items


    Please comment and tell me what you think! :chucklefish:

    I like all of it except the debuffs. All jet lag (what it's called when you move between time zones faster than your body can adjust) really does is make you sleep weirdly. I should know, iv'e had 11 hour jet lag a few times.
    One thing I have to add is that maybe if you travel across the planet faster than the sun, or teleport to a different location on the planet, the time should be different. For instance if you are at your base and it is day, and then you teleport to the other side of the world it should be night. Maybe this will even inspire a new tactic on really hard planets, where you have a portable base and you move with the sun so you never have to deal with night time.

    Different times on different planets is already a thing.
    The debuffs are another thing entirely.
