Ingame Time/Clock
Submitted
Implement in-game time and clock, that is dependent on 'hours per day setting'.
"UTC"-like of course, not "local time" on planet.
Add scripting API to retrieve it.
Optional: add a way to display current time (with user-supplied offset) on LCD panel without scripts.
Currently you can engeener such a thing. Build yourself sun clock! Best place to do it is on earth north pole, sun is always avaible there. You could use solar panels to estate time. Bigger the sun clock is better precision. You could do it using just one script, Easy Automation Script can read solar panel output, couple if-s, couple when-s here and there and voila. Althou you might need to build relay system to access time output LCD, and view it manually since there is no way to transfer data via antennas. I think I'm gonna build such thing, could be fun, plus I have idea how to do it. Sort of Big Ben with watchtower clock, yea, doable, thanks for fresh idea.
