How to Change the Day/Night Cycle on The Isle Evrima

Adjust day and night length on your The Isle Evrima dedicated server using Game.ini settings.

The Isle Evrima's day and night cycle length is fully configurable. You can make days longer for more activity, shorten nights for casual servers, or run permanent daylight.

Changing Day and Night Length

Stop Your Server

Access the XGamingServer Panel and stop your server.

Open Game.ini

Go to Files → /TheIsle/Saved/Config/LinuxServer/Game.ini

Set Day and Night Length

Under [/script/theisle.tigamesession], update these values (in minutes):

[/script/theisle.tigamesession]
ServerDayLengthMinutes=45
ServerNightLengthMinutes=20

Save and Restart

Save the file and restart your server.

Settings Reference

Setting	Description	Default
`ServerDayLengthMinutes=`	Length of daytime in real-world minutes	`45`
`ServerNightLengthMinutes=`	Length of nighttime in real-world minutes	`20`

Common Configurations

Default (balanced):

ServerDayLengthMinutes=45
ServerNightLengthMinutes=20

Long day, short night (casual/active server):

ServerDayLengthMinutes=60
ServerNightLengthMinutes=10

Equal day and night (realistic):

ServerDayLengthMinutes=30
ServerNightLengthMinutes=30

Very long days (max activity):

ServerDayLengthMinutes=120
ServerNightLengthMinutes=5

Very short night values (under 5 minutes) may cause issues for nocturnal species like Troodon that rely on darkness. Consider your player base before eliminating night entirely.

Dynamic Weather

Dynamic weather changes independently of the day/night cycle. You can control how frequently weather changes:

[/script/theisle.tigamesession]
bServerDynamicWeather=true
MinWeatherVariationInterval=600   ; Minimum seconds between weather changes
MaxWeatherVariationInterval=900   ; Maximum seconds between weather changes

To disable dynamic weather entirely:

bServerDynamicWeather=false

For all configurable settings, see the Server Configuration Guide.
