How to Adjust Day Length Settings on Your Project Zomboid Server (B41/B42)

1. Log In to Your Panel

---

2. Select the ‘Files’ tab

---

3. Locate the ‘Server’ Folder

You can find the folder in /home/container/.cache/Server.

---

4. Select the ‘SandboxVars’ File

---

5. Locate the ‘DayLength’ Variable

You can find this variable starting from line 53 within the file.

DayLenght determines the duration of a full in-game day through a scale number, where each value assigns a specific real‑life time interval.

For example, the value 3 equals 1 IRL hour, while the value 6 equals 3 IRL hours.

You can view the exact equivalence for each value in the following list:

— 1 = 15 Minutes

— 2 = 30 Minutes

— 3 = 1 Hour

— 4 = 1 Hour, 30 Minutes

— 5 = 2 Hours

— 6 = 3 Hours

— 7 = 4 Hours

— 8 = 5 Hours

— 9 = 6 Hours

— 10 = 7 Hours

— 11 = 8 Hours

— 12 = 9 Hours

— 13 = 10 Hours

— 14 = 11 Hours

— 15 = 12 Hours

— 16 = 13 Hours

— 17 = 14 Hours

— 18 = 15 Hours

— 19 = 16 Hours

— 20 = 17 Hours

— 21 = 18 Hours

— 22 = 19 Hours

— 23 = 20 Hours

— 24 = 21 Hours

— 25 = 22 Hours

— 26 = 23 Hours

— 27 = Real-time


Then, save the changes.
