10 minutes to 1 hour long solar cycles

Description
Makes solar cycles of the planets between 10 minutes and 1 hour long
Somebody named "LongStrongDong" asked for it so I did it is the reason for it really
may I quote: "Could you maybe make one like this that makes the day/night cycle like 10 mins to an hour long at random? I would really enjoy a mod like that but I have no modding knowledge. An hour all the time seems a bit much and not random enough. Thanks in advance."
And indeed, it is not random in the previous mod.

What do you mean by 'solar cycle' is that just fancy talk for 'day'?

Does this make it random every time you come to a new planet? Once you visit a planet does it lock in the time it was assigned by your mod for every visit after that?

I don't think I can do that
Also distance between the planet and the star doesn't have an effect on it's rotation speed irl (that I know of at least) if that's what you were going for

idea: planets closer to the star, get shorter cycles, (minimum 10 mins) and further ones get longer cycles (max 1 hour)

I've actually been asked to make it, also, if you know how to, feel free to take this mod, unpack it, change some numbers, and upload as your own with however much or however little change you made to it! Don't even say that you based it on my mod if you don't feel like saying that, just feel free. Sharing is caring!

Thank you for making this mod, I always felt the day/night cycles were way too short in the vanilla game. This 10-60 min variation is perfect.

Also it makes the whole cycle up to 1 hour long so the longest night you can have would be half an hour, unless you go on a midnight planet... technicaly there's also the day/night cycle but it seems pretty much night all the time to me
