Create a watch or clock in the game

Asuba

Good evening,

Another minor suggestion, which would be very practical and nice, would be to display the time it is on this planet (it is enough for a day to be more or less than 24 hours).

This by making either:

- a watch, which we should equip on our character (in the manner of the compass or the thermometer).
- a clock, which we would hang in our base.
- or by displaying the time directly in the HUD.

This is to know if it is dark (for example), when you are exploring a cave or the depths of the ocean.

I do not think (may be wrong) that this addition is very complicated to implement in the game.


PS: Sorry for my English, I had to translate my post via Google Translator.

Bassed on how i think the game works, (shout out to the debug menu) the game has a numerical value already assigned to the day night cycle it counts from 0 to 1 then resets so a graphical clock like minecrafts would be relatively easy to make.
Hope you can understand this

For the clock i think:
1 Titanium + 1 Quartz
Titanium for the component and Quartz for the watch movement.

I love you too.

It takes a little electronics (in this futuristic universe) to operate the clock (digital).

Because I do not want an old grandmother clock with a pendulum.

A simple hud display like the compass or thermometer should do.

I was just thinking that the PDA much like any other computing devise should have a clock of some kind with a timekeeping system similar to startreck or firefly
Also “planet” time could be represented by a clockwise turning pic of the planet with half shaded to represent day and night with an arrow or pic of the player representing the time

as far as i know in every space movie/ series, StarTrack, Star Wars, battleship galactica Alien(s), Armageddon, Buck Rogers, Lost in Space, Marooned, and had a scanner/PDA of some kind that kept time ether according to the planet, or in-sink with a ship in orbit, i think the scanner in star track did both.
