Valid values

  • A whole number whose bits are read as a single-precision floating-point rate in minutes. To set a rate, write the whole number with that rate's bit pattern, such as 1045220557 for 0.2 or 1065353216 for 1.
Caveats
  • A decimal such as .2 is read as the whole number 0 and sets the rate to 0. The ambient light then stays at its current level until another rate is set.
  • A small whole number such as 5 sets a rate barely above 0, so the fade takes a step on every frame.
  • The new rate applies to every ambient fade, including an ion storm's darkening and recovery.
  • A saved game keeps the new rate, and it can carry into later scenarios; see [AmbientChangeRate](/keys/ambientchangerate/).
