ive lost the count of stuff so ill just copy and paste the list of things i did

• ✅ You can put cabinet doors in your inventory 
• ✅ Having a nearly full inventory causes the white cubes to appear in the sack
• ✅ Elevator stops working if Garbage bin is placed on it. 
• ✅ fix radio t ower hook mannequin
• ✅ Water rune rocks do not float
• ✅ Dirt chunk/pile can be turned into a high velocity railgun with strafing
• ✅ When sitting in a chair, mouse smoothing appears to be enabled even when its disabled in the settings.
• ✅ Sitting on ATV with wheels removed counts towards ATV airtime achievement. 
• ✅ Base transformer relay (The one where the other workbench is found) needs to adjust the curb leading to it
• ✅ Make small curtains uncraftable
• ✅ R pick up on dream objects and murderfur
• ✅ If your flashlight is on, getting on the ATV still drains the flashlight despite turning it off
• ✅ Players appear to still slip on the secret large soap under the floor in the control room
• ✅ If you're dragging the scrap cart and are grabbed by the insomnia demon, you will drag the cart into the nightmare with you
• ✅ You can sell snowballs for a point each, players can potentially make hundreds/thousands of points especially with the use of an auto clicker
• ✅ Putting a wine bottle down on the floor turns it into beer
• ✅ Turning 'Rendering features quality' down to Zero prevents you from toggling polarity/frequency, effectively preventing the player from downloading signals
• ✅ Rebinding the Dismount Chair/ATV from the default ESC causes the player to get stuck in any inventory/pop up window. The new bind does work for getting off chairs/ATVs but seems the association with the ESC key to exit menus is severed in the process.
• ✅ Wood and Coal does not burn in the crematorium
• ✅ mysterious red light appearing on the photos obstructing the view
• ✅ digital cam debug popup
• ✅ Placing Reel tapes on the machine with R still wipes the data on it
• ✅ remove wooden plank and metal gibs from trash piles
• ✅ door on the safe is open from the start
• ✅ empty save slots appear at the end of the list
• ✅ Mannequins appear to clip through the base via the control room main window
• ✅ Floppy disks appear to only be able to hold 1 hash code
• ✅ Hole behind bunker door entrance can cause player to easily trigger backrooms
• ✅ Rain appears to wash off the Ariral graffiti
• ✅ Placing a reel tape on the reel machine with R instead of left click causes it to erase the tape data
• ✅ Players can pickup and sell the ZIP drive, causing a "Ghost" version of it to float in its last known location. Putting a new ZIP drive down does not remove the ghost version and effectively soft locks the player unless they Save/Load, Save/Load however has odd effects of causing the ZIP drive to appear in random locations, in some cases unreachable.
• ✅ Broomba unable to suck trash piles
• ✅ Broomba can eat the tables in reception  
• ✅ Items passing through PC trigger box will complain about floppy errors
• ✅ Removing items from prop lock containers via the pickup method doesn't update state of container, rendering said container non-interactable
• ✅ Loading into a save will show the last hash transferred in your Viewer tab
• ✅ Main Menu Crash
• ✅ Abusing save/load function can allow player to store infinite items
• ✅ Drive in security booth isn't interactable
• ✅ Resetting PC parts before loading a save causes duplication/invisible PC to occur
• ✅ Pipe bomb doesn't have designated price on store
• ✅ Re-visit balancing on crops/farming
• ✅ Workbench doesn't register items on save/load, requires new item or moving item on the bench to force a re-check.
• ✅ Todd Howard infected the game, Paper can be used to clip through walls/objects if thin enough
• ✅ Sky is falling advancement is not triggering correctly, but still provides the unique object/items
• ✅ Nails still will not save their states on Save/Load
• ✅ Transformer upgrades seems to still be swapped around (needs further testing to confirm)
• ✅ Mattress when placed under the desk can cause it to flash when viewing at certain angles (Possibly culling issues with the main chair?)
• ✅ Bad Sun/FurFur apparently not dropping items when appearing
• ✅ "No ATV detected" on Menu
• ✅ Wind/Weather sounds are not tied to ambience volume control  (check audio classes)
• ✅ Items/Events causing Ariral items to get flung from the treehouse causes player rep to drop despite the player not being there/involved. 
• ✅ Unattached drone sacks duplicate on load
• ✅ Drive stuck in machine
• ✅ Directional Digimap indicator does not function on ATV
• ✅ Guns randomly appears on ATV

lol, fair enough. my apologies for the spoiling, i won't give you any more information you didn't ask for. 

and i also enjoying a sort of roleplay! it's much more fun when you give yourself these atmospheric motivations to keep yourself invested in the game. i suppose my version of the player character is just a slacker then!

i saw that other response about easy++, so i hope that works and gets you the longer days you're hoping for.

so, other folks have mentioned already, but 0.9.0 is pretty wonky right now. not enough time in the day to do given tasks is a known issue, and also the build is very buggy and many of the settings on offer, like changing day speed, aren't functional in this build. you might have some better luck going back to the last stable build (0.8.2c), as you can actually reliably change the length of days there, plus all the other settings for a save file.

so, yeah, if you're dead set on playing 0.9.0, and you need the days to be longer, you'll have to wait for a bit longer. there's no real way to say when a stable release will be ready, but i imagine it will take a long while.

also i will say, you don't HAVE to do your tasks. 0.9.0 is a test branch. the gameplay loop is very unbalanced and has a lot of bugs, so you're fighting a losing game trying to do everything you're asked from day 1. and even if it were balanced, there isn't much actual consequence to not doing your daily tasks beyond just getting less money. (of course, there is a fine you can turn on in the settings, but i'm guessing you dont want that.) points are pretty important in this game, there's lots of great stuff in the shop, so you'll want to get points from somewhere, but there's plenty of methods. (my favorites are farming sugarcane and lemons by the river.) and the loop of finding signals IS a huge part of the game, but you don't really get many interesting signals early on. mostly i'd say start tidying up (sell a lot of the trash, it's fast money), find your preferred routes to the generators, and get comfortable.

if you're still overwhelmed, you might benefit from playing on ambience mode for a bit. it's basically the game without the spooky stuff, random or plot based, and you can use it to get used to the gameplay loop without being worried about spooky things. you'll have plenty of time to ignore your tasks and figure out some of the game mechanics the tutorial doesn't cover.

i am also a nervous gamer who (for some unknown reason) decided to get really interested in a horror game, if you still intend to play, either on 0.8.2c with a longer day, or 0.9.0 with the standard base time, i have a good amount of tips on how to keep yourself organized and not too stressed to enjoy the spooky things that pop up every once in a while. i can put together a list, if you'd like. otherwise, i hope you enjoy! i've had a lot of fun with this game, but i totally understand being overwhelmed by the days being so short. night time is scary!
