Realistic Tidal Lock Days

Description
The moon of Kenshi (the playable world) is described as being a tidal locked moon orbiting it's host planet. In an accurate tidal lock, you'd have the same amount of light as you have dark, like our own moon on Earth.
The Earth's moon has days lasting 13.6 Earth days, and nights lasting 13.6 Earth days as well. Since Kenshi's moon orbits a rather large planet, it's plausible for it to have 12 hour days and 12 hour nights.

What this mod thus does is change the days to being 12 hours, and the nights to being 12 hours, while making nights much darker as well to reflect the real darkness our own moon faces during a new moon cycle.

As the nights are darker, come sooner, and last longer, having lights/lanterns becomes a vital part of survival to see what's around you.

Too dark? Check out the lite version, which does the same thing with less darkness.

You did good with this, I love having little bits here and there that make the game more and more immersive and this was just a touch I was missing.

Every time I think 'wow, he's really done it with this one,' you make something else that's a really cool, interesting concept. Great work as always.

Unfortunately that's not possible.
Would if I could, though.
