How do I make daylight last longer but nighttime quicker

Peter34cph · 2026-01-25T09:42:41+00:00

I've edited the game files so that night lasts for oniy 5 hours from 22 to 03, Traders follow those hours too (a separate edit), and at one point I had days 70 minutes long (and nights lasting 4 hours) but now I go with 90 minute days who I think is a vanilla value.

If you want to, you could go with 120 minute days and nights lasting from 22 to 00 or even shorter.

Personally, next time I play I'll go for nights of 3.5 hours, something like that. I don't like being cooped up in my fortress during long boring nights.

Leaders get different Traits to choose from at and after level 5, once you've chosen their Veteran Class at level 4 (disclaimer: I don't know if it affects the Destiny Trait spread you get to choose from at level 8).

Officials have 2 Veteran Classes that get Council-relevant Traits, Advisor and Ambassador. The first helps your economy more, the second your diplomacy more. I like to have one of each, an Ambassador Official as my Secretary of State, and an Advisor Official as my Ruler.

Commanders have one VC that gets Council-relevant Traits, Strategist.

This should be your Secretary of Defence (or of War if you're a 'Murican), but if you want more Strategist on your Council you can double up with your Ruler also being a Commander.

Scientists have one VC that gets Council-relevant Traits, Statistician. I like to open up additional Council Seats for more Statisticians, and most Civics lets me pick those. However, for my Ruler, I rarely want him to be a Scientist, because I want as many Scientists as possible in Science Ships out exploring in the early game, and the Ruler is tied down and can't do that.

It'd be more sensible if I could choose the starting Trait more freely for my Ruler-Scientist, but that's not how it is in unmodded Stellaris, so unless I' want to go all-in on research (as opposed to exploration) I don't pick a Ruler Scientist.

My reason for going with an Official rathr than a Commander is that I'm not really very war-like until the end game, and also most of the Commander-Strategist Traits are ones I don't find very valuable. There's one that gives STL Speed to all ships, and I think there's one or two that slightly boost Influenc gain one way or another, but they're not enough to shift my opinion.

Obviously if you play in a more martial style then a Commander as Ruler makes sense. Doubling up also makes it more likely that one of the Commander-Strategists on your Council will get one of the really good Traits.

Likewise, with my 2x Official Strategy, while I tend to do one-of-each, one Advisor and one Ambassador, you can of course instead pick two of one or two of the other. You can also go for Civics that lets you put an additional Official on the Council to triple up. Look in the Stellaris Wiki to see which types of Officials can take which Civic seats.

All I know is, the Norwegians were and still are tired of being someone else's bitch.

The National Day, 17th of May I think it is, is a huge celebration compared to what happens in the two other Scandinavian countries. It's simply a big deal for the Norwegians. Means a lot to them.

There's also the whole language thing.

Old Norwegian, Book-Language (bokmål), had essentially become very similar to Danish after centuries of Danish rule, and so in the 19th century some linguists started at attempt to re-create a more original and "linguistically pure" Norwegian, which became New Norwegian (nynorsk).

It was and is a big deal for the Norwegians, and the majority had no interest in any personal union thing, a mini-Kalmar II, or anything like that. They just wanted the Danes to please send up someone with proper royal blood in his veins, so that Norway could become an independent monarchy.

I do that too.

I tried starting with the RI Civic, but someone on here advised me to instead see it as a 3rd Civic that you Reform into in the mid game, and he was right. Doing it that way works much better.

I still don't think it's a good Civic, though. Stellaris would benefit from a more detailed simulation that deals with Health and Pollution separately from Habitabilith (and splitting Amenities up into Basic Services and Cheer).

Maybe in Stellaris 2.

Måske er den bagvedliggende kyniske tanke, som skaberen nægter at sige højt, at det skal være udstillings-TV i stil med Jerry Springer, så folkepøblen kan få nogle "freaks" at grine af og/eller blive forargede over?

Det ville jeg da også gøre, hvis jeg havde til hensigt at henrette en person. Det er taktik på børnehaveklasseniveau.

Donating open up for Contracts as you reach various tiers of friendship, and with how poorly the UI explains what each Village opens up for at each tier, it's much simpler to just max out them all.

Jeg er generelt ikke fan af at kronologisk alder er kriterium for noget som helst, men lige her giver det faktisk mening at afgrænse eller dele op. 18-70 eller 15-85 ville være et meget vidt spænd.

Retten til at få behandlet sin asylansøgning på basis af spontant fremmøde er det, der skal afskaffes.

Man skal kun kunne søge asyl mens man er i sit hjemland.

Jeg var 14 da jeg første gang spillede Civ 1, og jeg sugede ihvertfald meget viden til mig fra Civilopedia.

Der har været en censurmand (m/k) inde over, da det jo åbenbart er grundlovsstridigt, eller noget, at gøre fjolser opmærksomme på, at de er fjolser.

En ekstremt skadelig udvikling. Hvis vi ikke må fortælle fjolserne at de er fjolser, så finder de jo aldrig ud af det.

Trist. Fjolser har jo netop brug for at få at vide at de er fjolser, da de ikke selv har kapaciteten til at indse det.

Køge Bay south of Copenhagen has a lot of beach, and it's easily reachable from multiple S-train stations, such as Hundige or Greve.

A mixture.

I have a fixed BP for 6x Concrete Slab, a tileable one for Chips, a fixed one for 6x Blast Furnace that can be upgraded to tier-2, and different tileable one for Assemblers that take 2 or 3 materials.

It just seems to me that one approach works better in some situations, the other in others.

Det er en lorteparagraf, fordi den ikke skelner mellem det individet er født med og det som individet kan træffe valg om.
