I wonder if advanced world settings shouldn't allow the player to determine the length of day and night in all 4 seasons. If poles were to be disabled day/night length would remain as if seasons were influential. This can simply be nulled by making day/night same long in all seasons.

The player can even determine whenever one day on calendar should be determined by day/night cycle or should it always be specified amount of ticks. Since it's a fantasy world characters in my opinion should normally age by 1 day regardless of settings (day/night set to 300 ticks would not age by 1 day characters every 600 ticks if that doesn't count as moving 1 day onward on calendar but if set to synchronize with them than they would age every 600 ticks by 1 day).

I do also believe that advanced world settings should allow the player to decide how quickly characters get hungry, thirsty or drowsy just becaluse of this.

Go a step further and use the myth generation to determine the length of the cycle. Maybe allow for abnormal stuff like permanent day, or a Pitch Black scenario of a sudden shift to nightime after years of daylight. I mean the boogeymen already act like those strange bug creatures: infinite and menacing, but only if you go out at night.

I would find a Dying Earth scenario very interesting. A sun slowly darkening.

A mutual associate of ours has a flipside scenario IIRC: ( *plug, plug, shill, shill*)

Or worlds similar to the one described in the „The Three Body Problem“ from Cixin, where three stars lead to unpredictable climate patterns and catastrophic events.
