Option: More Trader Hours Selections

[zztong]

I have daylight length set to 14 (0500-1900) as that matches North America summer the closest. It would be nice to be able to set the Trader to be open during the daytime based on the daylight length. Or, perhaps add a Trader Hours options of 0600-1800 and 0800-1700 so the trader could work a normal day.

Isn't that already a thing in 3.0? I saw a gameplay vid about it, a youtuber was showing off the new features for 3.0. There was even a video, showing that bandits are actually hidden in 3.0, with a MG gunner, sniper and melee bandit types.

Daylight Length and Trader Hours are two different configurations in the game already.

What isn't possible right now is to synchronize them. The Trader Hours are basically: Morning, Midday, Evening, 0400-2200, and 24-Hours. So what you cannot do is say "The trader is open during the day and closed at night" unless you happen to play with night being 0400-2200.

I'd go with 0400-2200 if I thought Navezgane was set in Alaska, Scotland, Finland, or Sweden.

Thinking about it more, it would be handy to say:

Trader Hours = Daylight Length
Trader Hours = Daylight Length -1 (on both ends)
Trader Hours = Daylight Length -2 (on both ends)

So that if you make Daylight Length: 14, then the trader is open for 12, or 10.

The best of options would be if Daylight Start and Daylight End were independent and Trader Hours Start and Trader Hours End were independent.
