As much as I love Starbound, there are some things about it that irk me. One of these is the fact that all planets have the same day lengths. This is just plain unrealistic, and I think a nice little addition would be varying day length. Planets would have a random day length (although nothing too obnoxious, i.e. minute long days).
Not a high urgency issue, but I do think Starbound would benefit from some differing lengths of day and night, amongst other things.
Don't worry, I'm here to make your day/evening/night. As you can see in this picture which is the new starmap UI. It says "Day/Night" and it's exactly what you want. Different planet will have different cycles.
Funny that! I noticed this the first time I went to another planet as it took freakin' ages to go dark....not that I minded. It definitely adds a subtle depth...good move.
I thought planets did have different cycles..I noticed planets with shorter days. Closer to the star, the shorter the day. Or maybe smaller planets? I have noticed it.
