Daylight Fix

Vanilla 7 Days to Die defaults to an 18-hour daylight + 6-hour night-time cycle, with dusk occurring at 22:00 (10 PM).

If you are anything like me, that means 4 things:

1. You enjoy some games having a certain degree of realism.
2. You are not afraid of the dark: you were born in it, molded by it.
3. You are awesome.
4. Therefore, you may have tried lowering the Daylight Length hoping to no longer keep seeing sunlight at 10 PM everyday…

The problem: Without this mod, lowering the Daylight Length (to 16, 14, or 12 hours) merely shifts the dawn, not the dusk. For example, if you set the Daylight Length to 12 hours, the dawn happens 6 hours later (starts at 10 AM instead of 4 AM), but the dusk still starts at 22:00 (10 PM). Moreover, you will notice the Sun is not even close to where it should be along the Equator (the east-west axis). This happens because the game uses 22:00 as the baseline to calculate where the Sun should be in the sky at any one time.

The solution: With this mod, the game uses 12:00 PM as the baseline instead, which means the sun will always be right above your head at noon regardless of your chosen Daylight Length.
It also means you can finally see the sunset at a more realistic time. Even with the default (and maximum) 18-hour Daylight Length, the Sun will not set at 22:00 anymore. It will set at 21:00 instead, as seen in the images.

Made for V1.4, but most likely works in other versions of the game too.
