"And it even tells the time!" - Day/Night Cycle on Compass UI
When Barrett hands you the compass for the first time (presumably after meeting you at Argos Mining and telling you to head to the Constellation headquarters), he says that it tells the time.
Well, how do you represent the time of day in a game where you visit lots of planets and moons? By showing the terminator line dividing day and night as it moves over the planet you're on. Pretty clever!
It looks good, but I'm wondering how it functions. Are we in the center and night starts when the terminator crosses half way, or is it night when it becomes full dark on the compass?
I think, if I’m recalling the screenshots correctly, it looks around noon when the compass is half-dark? So nightfall would be once the compass is completely dark.
