Enshrouded Day/Night Cycle Calculator
Enshrouded stores day and night lengths as nanoseconds — not seconds or minutes. This tool converts between minutes and nanoseconds so you can set exactly the cycle length you want in enshrouded_server.json.
Formula: minutes × 60,000,000,000 = nanoseconds ·
Defaults: day 30 min / night 12 min ·

enshrouded_server.json Values
{
"dayTimeDuration": 1800000000000,
"nightTimeDuration": 720000000000
}
Paste these two fields inside the root object of enshrouded_server.json. The minimum value is 120000000000 (2 min).
Field Reference
| Field | Default | Min | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| dayTimeDuration | 1800000000000 (30 min) | 120000000000 (2 min) | Length of the daytime phase in nanoseconds. |
| nightTimeDuration | 720000000000 (12 min) | 120000000000 (2 min) | Length of the nighttime phase. Shorter night = more daytime productivity. |
