Game-day

A day lasts 25000 Game-ticks or 416.66~ Game-seconds.

The light varies throughout the day in a cycle consisting of 4 phases:

Phase Name	Internal name	Behaviour	Time of day at start	Time of day at end	Duration (in ticks)	Duration (in seconds)
day	dawn	fully light	0.75	0.25	12500	208.33~
sunset	dusk	darkening	0.25	0.45	5000	83.33~
night	evening	fully dark	0.45	0.55	2500	41.66~
sunrise	morning	lightening	0.55	0.75	5000	83.33~

During sunset, the light level decreases linearly from fully light to fully dark. During sunrise, it increases linearly from dark to light.

Note: The actual time between phases can vary +/- a tick due to rounding errors.
