The day and night cycle on your The Isle Evrima server is fully configurable \u2014 you can make days longer, shorten nights, or find the perfect balance for your community. Here is exactly how to change it.<\/p>\n

The Settings You Need<\/h2>\n

Day and night length are controlled by two settings in your Game.ini<\/code> file, both measured in real-world minutes:<\/p>\n

[\/script\/theisle.tigamesession]\nServerDayLengthMinutes=45\nServerNightLengthMinutes=20<\/code><\/pre>\n
ServerDayLengthMinutes<\/strong> \u2014 how long daytime lasts in real minutes (default: 45)
\nServerNightLengthMinutes<\/strong> \u2014 how long nighttime lasts in real minutes (default: 20)<\/p>\n
How to Change It<\/h2>\n
On XGamingServer (Managed Hosting)<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Log into panel.xgamingserver.com<\/a> and stop your server<\/li>\n
  2. Go to Files<\/strong> and navigate to \/TheIsle\/Saved\/Config\/LinuxServer\/Game.ini<\/code><\/li>\n
  3. Update the day and night values to your preference<\/li>\n
  4. Save the file and restart your server<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
    On a Self-Hosted Server<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Stop the server<\/li>\n
    2. Open TheIsle\/Saved\/Config\/WindowsServer\/Game.ini<\/code> (or LinuxServer\/<\/code> on Linux)<\/li>\n
    3. Edit the values and save<\/li>\n
    4. Restart the server<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      Popular Configurations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
      Style<\/th>\nDay<\/th>\nNight<\/th>\nBest For<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n

      Short Cycle<\/td>\n20 min<\/td>\n10 min<\/td>\nFast-paced event servers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
      A Note on Nocturnal Species<\/h2>\n
      Species like Troodon<\/strong> have night vision and are designed around darkness. If you set ServerNightLengthMinutes<\/code> very low (under 5 minutes), you’re effectively nerfing Troodon players. Consider your species list when eliminating night entirely.<\/p>\n
      Dynamic Weather<\/h2>\n
      Weather changes independently of the day\/night cycle. You can control it separately:<\/p>\n
      [\/script\/theisle.tigamesession]\nbServerDynamicWeather=true\nMinWeatherVariationInterval=600\nMaxWeatherVariationInterval=900<\/code><\/pre>\n
      Set bServerDynamicWeather=false<\/code> to lock weather to a single condition.<\/p>\n
      Need a Server?<\/h2>\n
      If you don’t have a server yet, XGamingServer offers The Isle Evrima hosting<\/a> with full Game.ini access, instant setup, and global server locations from $4\/month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
