Yes agreed, current mod I am playing uses the week x/day x system with colour changes to red on day 7.
It works well.

Does a pleasant voice speak to you through your comm system and say "Sensors indicate blood moon will initiate in t-minus 4 hrs"?
Because THAT would totally fit the HUD you are describing right now....
What they really should do is remove the time entirely and let you scratch or paint hash marks into the wall of your base to keep track of the days, that would be more fitting of the current survival game.
Now if we were being depicted as wearing power suits with projected heads up displays on the visor of our armored helmet then I'd be all for clocks and compasses floating in the air in front of me. We could have all player status data displayed on the screen and color overlays to show heatmap status and structural integrity and ore deposits underground, and radar blips on an overhead minimap to know where all the zombies are around us.
Don't forget windspeed, temperature, altitude, target lock-on and lead assistance reticles...

Since the week doesn't matter at all anymore, I would simply call it "Tuesday". Easy to grasp, no numbers at all. Simple.

Well to be fair a power suit IS included in the mod as well
hahaI do get your point totally, for me its a simple QOL thing that is IMO not intrusive at all.
I advocate random blood moons, skip a weekly funfest and make it be totally identified by visual and audio queues, red sky, thunder storm starting up etc.

I doubt CHUD has hung around since September to see if anyone would respond to that but keep chugging that Ketchup and welcome to the forums.
No spoilers intended but when you get to the whole "zombies spawning in rock one space away from your underground base" part of the thread please don't comment because we don't want to overly trigger Jackelmyer....
That would be cool, with me at least. Having to create a ‘time machine’/sundial or find a watch would be fun. Having a way of marking a calendar (maybe in the journal?) would be a common request for many players though (IMHO). If the day counter were to be removed. Maybe even have something like that made available in the trader?
I’m still waiting for things like a wall mounted bear or dire wolfs head, to be available at the trader.
Then maybe later the Devs can start rolling out holiday decorations at the trader. Things for your base.
Like adding a red nose to your wall mounted bear head. A Christmas decorated bumper with a creative license plate, for your wall.

OR a completely frozen zombie in an elf suit. Comes complete with a large tire mark from ankle to shoulder on its back. Holding a sale sign, or maybe one around its neck? You know....to place outside your base and decorate with lights?
Anyone?....no?
.....lol

It's not a case of learning the 7 times table, it's whether I can be bothered (or capable of) doing that after half a bottle of rum... among other things. Given that the maths isn't that hard and human-kind has already got a suitable nomenclature for the days of the week it would seem reasonable to stick a day counter on the hud.

+1 to this, it's a far more important variable to keep a track of and one that would benefit from a visual indicator.

You are referencing forms of realism with a game that has had us falling through the world for over two years...
