## Day length
## Calendar and economy speeds

The day length factor setting adjusts the passage of time in the game.
The economy speed reduction factor setting adjusts the speed of economic processes (e.g. cargo production, town growth, rating calculations) in the game.
A value of 1 is the same as in vanilla OpenTTD.
This was previously known as the day length factor setting.

### Calendar timekeeping mode

In calendar timekeeping mode, the calendar speed (day, month, year progression) is the same as the economy speed.
Values larger than 1 increase the length of a calendar day by this factor.

In calendar timekeeping mode, the speed of the economy (e.g. cargo production, town growth, rating calculations, etc.) runs at the same speed as the calendar.
The economy speed is therefore also slowed by the same factor.

#### Things which are proportionally slowed in real time, due to a slower calendar speed (in calendar timekeeping mode)
#### Things which are proportionally slowed in real time, due to slower economy and calendar speeds (in calendar timekeeping mode)

These still happen on a per calendar day, per calendar month or per calendar year basis.
As the day length setting is increased, these will occur more slowly in real time.
As the economy speed reduction factor setting is increased, these will occur more slowly in real time.

* Town and industry cargo production
(The town and industry cargo scaling settings can be used to compensate for this if needed).

### Wallclock timekeeping mode

The calendar speed is unaffected by the day length factor setting.
The calendar speed is unaffected by the economy speed reduction factor setting.

The day length factor only affects the speed of the economy (e.g. cargo production, town growth, rating calculations, etc.).

A "period" is the economy analogue of a year. Values larger than 1 increase the length of a period by this factor.

### Things which stay the same in real time (in both calendar and wallclock timekeeping modes)

These occur at the same real time speed regardless of the value of the day length factor setting.
