Cannot confirm that. Starting a game with "Daylight 12 hours" lets me spawn in darkness with dawn slightly visible. But still night-sounds. At 10 a.m. game plays the sound of awakening day and its gets all bright. But... thats is not the topic in this thread...
For potatoes it may be more realistic to use a shovel, but what kind of "harvesting tool" do you mean? I for myself would pickup corn, berries or mushroom with bare hands or a knife...
Happend to me recently, too. Spawned near older backback, not the latest one. Made me go collect that old stuff, to not run miles and miles to get back to my bike again.
...while women do the cooking and cleaning, right?
Try NPC mod. You can hire people and let them stay at your base or follow you around. Not as customizable as you dream of in your post, but almost.
I do now, since I sync my games automatically via Onedrive. But I very well remember the days when I ziped the savegame and the map every day to upload them myself. That was savegame only from 7daystodie/saves/world_name/game_name (and the map of course, but without the profile.sdf)
I use two computers, Desktop and Laptop, to play the same playthrough, and all I have to sync is savegame and map. No profile. May be different with xbox though.
Hey, this is version 1.0 of your mod. There is time later on to improve it
Thank you very much for your work. I'll definetly try this mod (would be my first one).
