Day, night & lighting

When the default world lights switch on, and how Temple lighting differs.

Default outdoor lighting

The default day-and-night definition has the cycle enabled, with lights switching on at 20:00 and off at 06:00 on its time-of-day scale.

Temple lighting

The separate Temple definition stores a lights-on setting of 20:00 and lights-off setting of 04:00. It has its own lighting schedule, so the default outdoor appearance should not be assumed to apply inside.

What this means for planning

These are lighting settings. They do not establish shop opening hours, NPC schedules, crop-day length or a bedtime penalty. The real-world duration of a full game day was not recovered from these definitions.
