== Day/Night Cycle ==
 +
On Planet Halpha, there is a 48 minutes day/night cycle. This means that for one hour to pass on Halpha, 2 minutes of real time will pass. This is split into a 28 min Daytime(5:00-18:59) and 20 min Nighttime(19:00-4:59). Some tasks might demand to kill in a specific cycle, so you need to be watchful of that. There are also some {{NGSItem|Icon=NGS Material|RealName=Materials|PageName=Materials_(NGS)}} which you can only collect during specific time of the cycle:
  
 +
* During Daytime: {{NGSItem|Icon=NGS Fruit|RealName=Notable Kvaris Ackee|PageName=Materials_(NGS)#Fruits}}, {{NGSItem|Icon=NGS Fruit|RealName=Famed Stia Star Fruit|PageName=Materials_(NGS)#Fruits}}
 +
* During Nighttime: {{NGSItem|Icon=NGS Seafood|PageName=Materials_(NGS)#Seafood|RealName=Notable Kvaris Squid}}, {{NGSItem|Icon=NGS Vegetable|PageName=Materials_(NGS)#Vegetables|RealName=Famed Stia Mushroom}}
 +
 +
[[Alters (NGS)|Alters]] are esspecially affected during Nighttime. Due to a phenomenon called "Daynight Shift", ALTERS have their appearance significantly changed, and it isn't for show either as it also increases their Attack Power by +30%. However, defeating Alters at nighttime can yield {{NGSItem|Icon=NGS Ability Capsule|RealName=C/Alz Secrete|PageName=List_of_Special_Abilities_(NGS)}}, a powerful affix offensively with defensive downsides.
 +
 +
Of note is that Alters appearing in Virtual Enviroments might have Daynight Shift buff anyway, even though in theory it is permament Daytime. It also is not consistent within the same quest as well. Therefore, keep an eye out whenever Alter you're facing is actually buffed or not.

In New Genesis, weather has a major factor on gameplay, affecting how enemies behave, what items can be found or dropped, and what damage multipliers are in effect. Weather is shared amongst the entire game- all ships, blocks and rooms(photo rooms excluded) will have the same weather at the same position of the map.

Quests might occassionally change the weather to suit their needs. During Story Quests, weather and time of day will be forced. During Mining Rig Defences, while time is not forced, weather is. In Quests with name starting with "Simulation" (Trigger Quests and Season Quests), time of day might be forced but weather conditions might not,depending on the quest.

Quests in Virtual Enviorments like Trainias and Battledias, the time of day is permament daytime, with no type of weather occuring.

Day/Night Cycle

On Planet Halpha, there is a 48 minutes day/night cycle. This means that for one hour to pass on Halpha, 2 minutes of real time will pass. This is split into a 28 min Daytime(5:00-18:59) and 20 min Nighttime(19:00-4:59). Some tasks might demand to kill in a specific cycle, so you need to be watchful of that. There are also some Material (NGS) Materials which you can only collect during specific time of the cycle:

Alters are esspecially affected during Nighttime. Due to a phenomenon called "Daynight Shift", ALTERS have their appearance significantly changed, and it isn't for show either as it also increases their Attack Power by +30%. However, defeating Alters at nighttime can yield Ability Capsule (NGS) C/Alz Secrete, a powerful affix offensively with defensive downsides.

Of note is that Alters appearing in Virtual Enviroments might have Daynight Shift buff anyway, even though in theory it is permament Daytime. It also is not consistent within the same quest as well. Therefore, keep an eye out whenever Alter you're facing is actually buffed or not.

Weather Types
