Time & Weather

The passage of time is highly dynamic in From the Ground Up. Nearly every action the player can take will pass time. The current time will almost always be displayed in the upper right corner via the "sundial" HUD. This UI element shows the current time of day, moon phase, season, moon within that season, the year, and if the Extended Clock is toggled on in the options menu, the exact numeric time and date.

Time
The passage of time is broken down into seven elements: Year, Season, Moon / Month, Day, Time of Day, Hour, and Minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour, 24 hours in a day, 8 times of day, 28 days in a moon, 3 moons in a season, and 4 seasons a year.

Predawn, Dawn, Morning, Sunhigh, Midday, Dusk, Twilight, and Moonhigh are the eight times of day. The exact hour the day progresses through these phases depends on the season; in leafbare (winter), days are shorter and nights are longer, whereas in greenleaf (summer), days are longer and nights are shorter.
