Do Aberrant Megalosaurus continue to stay awake indefinitely when on other maps?

This is another thing that irks me.  If the arks were spinning on their own axis, this would make sense, as the arks could have a non-vertical axis that causes the solar phase to fluctuate.  They don't, though.  Arks are in orbit above Earth.  They appear to rotate on Earth's axis at the same rate as Earth rotates on its own axis (which, due to the excessive centrifugal force of being farther from the axis without the extra gravity caused by extra planetary mass (larger planets have more mass, so more gravity.) would mean that the physics of the ARKs would be all sorts of messed up.  The effect of gravity would be significantly lower as the centrifugal force would constantly be pulling away from the axis.

In the Island ascension cutscene you can see that the arks are in some sort of grid pattern around the Earth. Maybe theyre stabilized that way, and gravity is normal because the arks are made of some super dense material?

As for aberration, maybe it got knocked off the grid and is currently spinning.

Since the arks are artificial ecosystems the sky is fake.  The sky is a dome that changes appearance much like the hunger games or catching fire.  It makes sense, it be just about  impossible for a hunk of metal to have an atmosphere, so you would see the void of space and stars if not for a fake atmosphere(The dome).  As for aberration it could be rotating on its X axis like neptune, possibly caused by dianas bombing, with a lil back and forth like earth does that changes seasons and day to night ratio.  It would just be doing it faster.

Aberration is still orbiting the earth.  The sky of Aberration is not a dome like the other ARKs because of the damage.  The lore explains that the reason the surface burns like an inferno is because the actual sun's radiation is interacting with something in the air on Aberration.  The canopy we have on the rest of the map is shielding from that radiation.  If Aberration were rotating on an axis of its own, we would see the Earth at night time (when the sun is below the ARK itself.   This is not the case.

Unless its rotating at a specific angle, but even if it was we would still see earth on the horizon , and considering the size difference it would dominate that location in the sky.  The only other possibility is the earth is flat out behind the ark, if it rotates on its Z axis it be completely possible never to see the earth.  Just like how people in the usa or europe will never get to see stars that south america and africa have(Excluding the northern part).  Our earths rotation doesnt allow us to see that portion of the sky.  Since the locations we explore on the arks are relatively small, it could be we are at aberrations "north" pole and earth is at the south.

If that were the case, then we would see the sun going all loopy in the sky during the day and the stars visibly doing the same at night.  If you God mode and go up to the surface, the sun makes a linear path.  The stars follow suit.

Depending what the angle is, the sun and stars would still trace 1 path.  Only at the exact axise would you get a twirl, but thats considering a planet tho.  On the ark due to small size youd have to be farther away from the pole to get the same not twirling effect.  Idk if the ark would be big enough to have that much area at a particular distance from the pole.  Maybe its rotating on 2 axis?  All likelihood it was an oversight lol

In all likelihood, they thought "This would be a cool mechanic!" without thinking the actual science behind it through at all.  As I said, with the ARKs orbiting the Earth and following the Earth's rotation, we would indeed see solar phase fluctuation, but more along the line of the same slow change over months like Earth has.  Another question that can be derived from this situation is simply, how are they simulating gravity on the  ARKs?  Space stations simulate gravity with the rotation of the space station.  ARKs don't rotate, but rather follow the Earth....

Gravity isnt caused by movement.  Gravity is caused by mass and all mass has gravity, even we have gravity.  The largest pile of mass is the winner and draws everything to it.  For us its the earth.  If we leave earths range and push a ping pong ball itll orbit us because we are the largest mass(Astronauts have done this).  The arks are giant piles of metal and dirt, itll win as the largest mass until it would start falling towards earth at least lol.

While that is interesting, when you go to the surface at night you really can't miss seeing the Earth right above you. It takes up like 90% of the sky.

You misunderstood what  I said.  Gravity is SIMULATED by movement.  If a mass is moving in a direction, all other masses being pushed by that object will have G-forces applied based on the direction of that movement.  Space stations simulate their gravity by their rotation around an axis.  That constant rotation pushes the inhabitants in a manner that simulates the effects of gravity in an environment where there is none (none in an amount enough to have an effect on its own.)

Well i dont own aberration so ya lol.  Ya sounds like the devs screwed up there haha.  @banggugyangu  ok i get what your saying.

[Bep]

So......if i bringing my aberrant megalosaurus to scorched earth or ragnarok , then it can't stay awake always?
