Day/Night Cycle is Brutal

Did you really lock us out of everything but Solar Panels, and then make night last 4 times as long as day? Really? Are you sadistic?

Mea Culpa - My Bad

It *feels* very bad, but it's actually equal - approximately 1.5 hours each.

It would be really helpful to add functionality to the bed, so we can sleep through the night.

It just feels like it's 4 times longer. Once you get into space, it stops being a real issue but planetside, it's pretty brutal (but realistic). It wouldn't be as bad if these bodies included orbits, so that some nights you'd have moonlight providing higher illumination.

i agree, have night be slightly shorter, 1 hour night 2 hours day (to avoid messing with the current timing) and then maybe slowly switch the balance back to simulate summer-winter daylight times if they ever want to put seaosns into the game

I'm playing Survival (Welcome to Verdure). I'm trying to get enough Ice and build a ship to fly to Vallation Station and continue the Contract Missions.

I actually think the times (approximately 90 minutes for each) are pretty good. It's just that, when Solar Power is the only power source you have, every minute of Night is spent waiting for it to be over. Simply sleeping through it would be ideal.
