I do agree that timescale is often something survival games get wrong, which often drives the argument that they're tedious among those who aren't fans of the genre. These games should embrace longer days and nights so players have some time to get immersed into the game and forget that the more dangerous night time is suddenly on them, or in other instances forget about things like their hunger and thirst or vitamins or other things which need managing.

When these things are constantly drawing the players attention, there's no chances of it becoming a genuine threat to their survival and instead really does just become a tedious bit of management which will only attract a niche playerbase.
