	The base unit of all time inside Factorio. When running at game speed 1, there should always be 60 ticks in every real-time second leading to the figure of 60 updates per second, short UPS. This means that 1 tick should ideally always take 1/60th of a real-time second (0.01667 seconds). However, it is possible to change the [~~http~~://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaGameScript.html#~~LuaGameScript.~~speed game speed] using mods or console commands, so it is possible that ticks don't take 0.01667 real-time seconds. Furthermore, game speed will automatically slow down when the computer that is running the game is unable to do all needed calculations in the wanted 0.01667 real-time seconds. The "show-fps" [[debug mode\|debug option]] allows to see the current UPS which can be used to estimate how long a tick currently takes.		The base unit of all time inside Factorio.

	During sunset, the light level decreases linearly from fully light to fully dark. During sunrise, it increases linearly from dark to light. This linear slope does not necessarily apply to the values returned by [https://lua-api.factorio.com/latest/LuaSurface.html#~~LuaSurface.~~darkness LuaSurface.darkness]. During night time, [[player]]s will passively activate their flashlights (or headlights if in a [[vehicle]]), and placed [[lamp]]s will turn on automatically if powered.
