In a survival game the night should make you nervous. Landfall's nights used to be a slightly darker afternoon. This part made them real.



## Every night is different

Night is now properly dark, and no two nights are the same. On some you can still make out the camp; on others you can only see what the fire lights up. Some evenings bring a golden hour and a sunset. And days now last about twice as long as nights.

## Seeing in the dark

On even the darkest night, a colonist can still make out a little around them in a faint blue: roughly what human eyes manage after adjusting to the dark, fading gradually rather than cutting off in a hard circle. Predators' eyes glow when the light catches them.



## A fire worth having

The fire became the centre of the night:

- **It casts shadows**, and its light fades out naturally with distance.
- **It smokes**, thicker or thinner, drifting with the wind.
- **Animals keep away from it**, especially at night.
- **It burns what you give it.** Sticks work but burn out quickly; logs last longer. With more than one kind of fuel on hand, you choose which.
- **You can put it out** when nobody needs it, so fuel isn't wasted.
- **The upgraded fireplace earns its place**: it burns more efficiently and gives more heat, and every blueprint now explains what it does and what an upgrade improves.



## Sleeping like people

Sleep started to follow the light. At night, colonists sleep until they're fully rested instead of getting up halfway. In daylight, they stay awake unless they're completely exhausted. And they don't get up in the middle of the night for a snack unless they're really hungry or thirsty.

## Nature that looks natural

Daylight got an upgrade too. Instead of trees scattered evenly everywhere, forests now grow in groves, bushes cluster, and lakes are bigger. The sandy shore can be studied and collected, too.



Next: food you can't trust.
