Thank you. :)

It wasn't necessarily broken when I marked it obsolete, just that I don't plan to continue updating it at this point. Good to know it still works though!
woostyboy 10 Oct, 2019 @ 8:10am 
As an FYI, I still use this on single player creative and it still works. :)

@Meridius_IX / Lucas Oh OK

That slider was added in the last major update. Prior to that, there was no way to adjust the sun position (the devs had removed player access to the debug menu that contained the option).

I considered marking this mod obsolete, since we have that feature now, but there are other features that could be added (rotation speed, etc) so we'll see.

you can do the same by pressing alt + F10. Clicking on space master,Then admin tools and ajust "time of day offset" :steamfacepalm

@SporkFortuna LOL WHAT A COINCIDENCE

@sororfortuna I just had a double take looking at your name.

@Abisius is right

i wouldnt say that typing in a chatcommand is easier than moving a slider
SkittleZ 14 Feb, 2018 @ 9:21am 
We were able to change the time of day for ages now, this isn't obsolete, it's just a easier way to do it :2017meatball:
NorthyPark 6 Feb, 2018 @ 12:44am 
Yeah this mod is now obsolete. You can change sun rotation in the admin tools menu (alt+F10)
Mojo 5 Feb, 2018 @ 6:54pm 
@ Meridius_IX, it no longer works in newest update, not sure if you had tested it yet or not, and no one else seemed to say so. :)
Meridius_IX / Lucas  [author] 4 Feb, 2018 @ 4:51am 
@The Outer God - I believe it needs to be enabled. However, it seems like the most recent update may have made this mod obsolete. I haven't tested for myself, but it looked like there's now a slider in the space master menu (saw it on a few videos).
The Outer God 4 Feb, 2018 @ 1:25am 
Do i have to have the sun rotation on or can the sun remain stationary?

X4nt4$t!k... if u cant understand his clear instructions on how to use this mod why even bother modding your game?
Spacebar 27 Jan, 2018 @ 7:53am 
Bruh. X4nt4$t!k he literally tells you how to use it. /SetTime (your desired number here). Wut

"Not shitting on your project this tool will be very useful and beneficial " You've spent more time telling him what to do then just saying thank you or waiting to write a real creative criticism, also you've yet to leave a review...
KAL 20 Jan, 2018 @ 5:39am 
I'm going to try this mod and leave a review later on if it works and if it has bugs etc but I really think you should write a more descriptive section about how the mod works, for someone who doesn't mod a lot this may seem boring and like a task, never the less it's required for your audience to gain the best experience from your product, kinda like giving a kid a car and say here we go have fun....They will benefit from know what it dose and how it works, saying turn it on and go forward won't cut it, that's kinda what's been done here with the short description lack of information an other things stated in the comments! Not shitting on your project this tool will be very useful and beneficial but not everyone will no or want to spend time doing trial and error, as the creator of a mod this is something you should have spent more time on before publishing and giving a more in-depth description of your mod!

Every value i put in puts the sun back in the same place..

I couldn't get it to work! So, I'll try it with the appropriate case later!
Xero 7 Jan, 2018 @ 3:14am 
Only thing is you might want to clarify it's case sensitive.
i.e /settime will not work, only /SetTime (unless i just break things ... probably that)
or you know, set it to accept /settime ###

anyways, works like a charm :)
Meridius_IX / Lucas  [author] 30 Dec, 2017 @ 6:27pm 
It should work with Midspaces admin commands as well (I have that loaded while testing). Im going to upload an update after the long weekend that should make it work better and also add some extra features.
The Atlas Enthusiast 30 Dec, 2017 @ 2:14pm 
or does it publicly say the /SetTime command? and take a delay to work it's magic?
curious... VERY
The Atlas Enthusiast 30 Dec, 2017 @ 2:11pm 
doesnt seem to work. is it that im using midspace admin commands????
Meridius_IX / Lucas  [author] 29 Dec, 2017 @ 8:53am 
@Jupotus - Hmm, I wasn't aware of it not working with sun rotation disabled. I'll need to look into that.

It might be possible to set the rotation speed as well, I think I saw controls for that as well. I'll see what I can do over the weekend if I don't get too busy.
Jupotus 29 Dec, 2017 @ 3:46am 
Very useful mod after we lost the dev menu. Would it be possible to add commands to stop and start sun movement and also adjust the speed? E.g. /stop /start /speed ###
These would be very helpful when creating scenarios.
Also noticed the mod doesn't work if sun rotation isn't enabled in world settings.
Meridius_IX / Lucas  [author] 23 Dec, 2017 @ 6:41pm 
@plankton - It should work on DS as long as you're admin.
kinger 23 Dec, 2017 @ 9:10am 
it doesn't work for me, is it SP only cus im on a dedicated server?
BevansDesign 21 Dec, 2017 @ 9:19pm 
Would it be possible to add an option to speed up the movement of the sun when it's night where the player is, or slow it down during the day? Naturally you probably couldn't make it work for multiplayer.
Wugo 21 Dec, 2017 @ 2:16am 
Nice job. Works great. Now I can skip the night again. Big thanks.:steamhappy:
KhorneSyrup 20 Dec, 2017 @ 2:30pm 
Thanks! :D
COCKHEAVEN 10 Dec, 2017 @ 8:45pm 
Wow guys, this fella just gave us all back a feature that Keen in their infinite wisdom took away and its only 4 stars?! Shame on you all for not thumbs upping!
Wanderer_308 3 Dec, 2017 @ 9:24am 
OMG, this is must have!
シモン | 𝓢𝓲𝓶𝓸𝓷 2 Dec, 2017 @ 5:17am 
Works if you use upper and lower case letters as in the description (/SetTime).
Darian Stephens 2 Dec, 2017 @ 12:22am 
Very helpful comment, ArceusHD.
ARandomKrilios 2 Dec, 2017 @ 12:21am 
Dont work.
superhappyalien 28 Nov, 2017 @ 2:48pm 
Nice job
Fureversalty 27 Nov, 2017 @ 5:56pm 
@Darian Stephens @ Boatsil They may have removed it, but when it was in the game, it was clientside, so only the person doing it would see it as day. Its good for SP
Darian Stephens 27 Nov, 2017 @ 12:54pm 
@Boatsil
'this is so retarded you can just press f12 and change it from there lmao'

They removed that, though...
Or did they add it back in? I think it's still available in the developer version of the game, but I believe that one has extra profiling that slows the game down a bit.
Basil 27 Nov, 2017 @ 12:09pm

Tesseract 27 Nov, 2017 @ 10:11am 
Will this work on a dedicated server?
Dude 27 Nov, 2017 @ 9:46am 
Finally someone did this, man. Awesome stuff, thanks for putting in the effort to make this - Cheers lads!
spiritplumber 27 Nov, 2017 @ 2:37am 
How space engineers praise the sun
Darian Stephens 27 Nov, 2017 @ 12:24am 
I believe, the latter. Sort of?
NeonDrip 26 Nov, 2017 @ 11:59pm 
Any chance you could add a /GetTime commend?

Also, does the number represent degrees, minutes, hours or fraction of the day?
puff-dwagon 26 Nov, 2017 @ 9:07pm 
Yayyy, no longer do I have to sit and contemplate how long the day should be when starting a new game.
