  I agree to this, but I don't know yet if there's an item needs to be crafted to determine the time like in Minecraft. There are times its hard to noticed the daylight if you're inside a cave or building, since the lighting seems a little off.

  YES. THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CLOCK ON THE SCREEN, LIKE AN HOURGLASS OR A SOLAR ONE, IT DOES NOT MATTER. VISUALLY, IN 15 HOURS OF PLAYING, I COULD NOT LEARN HOW TO DETERMINE TIME.

  I'd like to know what time of day it is and when its about to be night time as I like to sleep through the night, so to have something showing this would be a nice feature

  This, but also, a small change, can we add system time or local time somewhere to the Hud? I get very immersed sometimes and lose track

  Maybe a "clock" like in Elden Ring (just to give an example) that just determines when does the sun goes up, how long and then going down and how much night you have left would be good, not a real clock

  There are sometimes when you get either making your base or reworking it and you forget the time - so you dont nkow if you should either wait for the next day or go out while there is still daylight but get caught up in the night. So a way to tell the time would be real handy.

  Would like to have something showing what time of day it is. maybe where the sun is and the moon? It would be nice to know before leaving on an adventure if in need to wait a few minutes to sleep before going.

  This game could use a Time of day on the HUD or maybe a button to show the time.

  does not have to be an accurate time with minutes, but some indicator how much daytime is left (or nighttime).
  That would be amazing

  This would be great - it's hard to tell sometimes whether I should wait by a bed.

  Yes this goes along with the weathe request in my opinion, having seasons, time, and dates would be cool to see progress as you play.

  Please this is so desparately needed. It doesn't add any immersion to be unaware of the time.. it's just a painful missing mechanic. I do think it is sensible to make it something you need to craft an item in order to have but it should be reasonably early game like by the time you clear the Elixer Well type of thing you're crafting something to make you at least aware of whether it's morning, midday, afternoon, evening etc. Just helps you plan what you're going to do with the rest of your day and not venture out somewhere then end up in pitch black.

  I would love to see some sort of "clock" in one of the screen corners, to get a rough idea of how long you have left of daylight or night time.

  It would be helpful to see the time of day so you can plan to stop somewhere if needed before dark. Maybe in the map.

  We can build a sundial that will work with both sun and moon ingame, mountaintop works best. Not saying i wouldn't also enjoy a clock; perhaps we can earn with some artisan tools found in a quest for the blacksmith or alchemist.

  A few building thought for time-based building:
  
  1. A golden Sundial - Beautiful as a center base piece.
  2. Bell tower - A bell chimes in the morning, afternoon, evening and when night falls. or at player set times during the day.
  3. Hourglass - Drain at dawn, is emptied when the next day start. A physical meter reads what time it is.
  4. Clock tower - Mechanical-hydraulic clock with a 12 hour or 24 hour piece in many colors and style.

  It would be good to know the time of day when you start a quest. Quite often I log on, start a quest and end up in darkness part way through the quest.

  Beeing able to craft a solar clock. And when you builded and positionned it in the game (in your village) then you are able to have approx time appearing on the interface anywhere. Like that you have a new item to craft and also a notion of Time.

  Good afternoon. Dear developers, add a device to the game that displays the time of day, the clock

  YES!!! But ALSO....
  
  A slower sunrise/sunset should be implemented.
  
  Its weird how one moment its night, the next is bright shining day...and vice versa. I think a slower transition period would make it feel much more natural.

  Agreed. More accurate clocks can be craftable recipes - as we see in other games, the basic clock only tells the hour; the intermediate clock tells the hour and minute; finally the top tier clock also counts the seconds.
  
  Additionally, even without a clock I suggest the game allow a display of rough time of day e.g. "morning, mid morning, noon, afternoon, evening, night". Yes I know you can simply look at the sky, but sometimes it isn't very clear to us; on the other hand, it makes sense for the character living in the game world to know that it is morning.

  ADD A CLOCK? SO WE KNOW WHEN NIGHT FALLS OR ADD SLEEPING BAGS TO MAKE THE NIGHT LAST

  Can we get an indicator of the time of day in the GUI? It is a bummer to start out on an exploration only to have it get dark unexpectedly.

  Sometimes we want to play for a short time or upto a specific time. This would give us a visual reminder in the game. Yes, distracting if we have no time limit, but very useful when we know we need to leave at a specific time - we see the time in-game rather then forgetting to look at our watch. This would be toggleble on/off.

  Just simply a display for time of day. Sunrise and sunset look similar for a while, would be nice to know which one it is if you've been busy indoors or in a cave, etc. Just a simple 11:15pm for example

  I disagree that an in-game real-world style clock would be a good idea - I think that would take away a little from the fantasy aspect of the game. Who knows how the Ancients told time?
  I would love to see a sundial in game - I've made a rudimentary one by building a pole and then marking which direction the shadow was at the beginning & end of the day, but something craftable would be much nicer.
  Even the same kind of thing that Minecraft has where it's just a colored disc with golden for day and blue for night would be all I feel the game would need to help tell me when it's time to head home for sleep.

  It would also be welcome to have a real time clock (like World of Warcraft) as well. Being able to see the real time while playing on a server would be really useful for those of us that struggle with logging off such an addictive game. :-)

  Having the ability to tell what time of the day is would be a great QoL improvement. Sometimes people want to go out questing and it gets really dark sooner than expected. Similarly if you join a coop game it could help you tell if it's becoming day or becoming night due to the transitions between day and night are the same or very similar that it can be hard to tell (based on the sun's lighting). Having the ability to switch between normal 12 hour clock and 24 hour clock (aka military time).

  A timer for how long it takes when the sun goes down or up, the feature is also in V-Rising for any visible examples.

  with items and areas now locked behind time of day specific, it would be nice to have a time of day indicator of some kind. With the sun setting in the East south east sometimes it's is hard to tell if night is getting close or not.

  With option for local/system time as well, that'd be fantastic. I lose track of every form of time in every world while playing this game, it's nutso.

  Since the new update has tasks related to the time of day, I would like to understand what time it is in the game so that I know how long to wait until nightfall, for example, to collect certain night resources.

  Okay, yes. I KNOW I can create a sundial, and I think that the music plays at key times of the day (morning, noon, and dusk), but I have not put much into researching that. But seeing the time and local system time is helpful.
