Day and night last for 12 hours each, changing one another at 7:00 and 19:00 server time. So far they appear to have only cosmetic effects on the game, e.g. changing environmental images around the 
Town to reflect the corresponding time of day, and changing brightness and colouration of 
World Beyond. In the latter, day time also affects the blurb, and close to day time boundaries the lighting represents a transition state of morning/evening.
There are players from all over the world in Die2Nite, so there is no night time search penalty which occurs in the German version Hordes. Test results can be found at Talk:Scavenging#Search_Results.
Contents
Midnight Attack
- "Midnight" is that dreaded time at which the zombies smash themselves upon the barricaded civilizations of the living.
- "Midnight" takes place at 23:00 (11 p.m.) game time (GMT+1). It lasts for 10-11 minutes and users are unable to login or register or access to any forums at that time.
- For the first day, none of these events take place if the town hasn't reached the quota of 40 citizens. It will be postponed until the day which the town gets 40 citizens.
Effects on the Player
- Action Points
are restored. - Status Effects resolve, or progress (depending on the effect):
- If the player is
Wounded, they will become 
Infected. - If the player is Infected, they have a 50% chance of dying unless they used
Cheat death. - If they are
Dehydrated!, then they will die unless they used Cheat death. - If they are
Hooked! and not 
Drugged they will die unless they used Cheat death. - If they are camping in the World Beyond, they either die or receive a bonus to scavenging depending on chance.
- If they are in the World Beyond and haven't set up a camp, they die.
Effects on the Town
- The town's voted-upon upgrade is put into effect, immediately before the attack.
- The town is attacked by zombies, pitting defensive measures against the attacking goons.
- Temporary defenses are resolved and removed.
- The daily "Midnight Bulletin" of
The News Corpse is published. - Players can take additional (two if there's a pump) rations from the
The Well. - Bonuses provided by construction sites and buildings go into effect (i.e.
Searchtower) - In a hardcore town:
- Buildings suffer damage that has to be repaired. Buildings can be destroyed if damaged too much.
- Defensive Objects in the bank can be destroyed.
- If the town has a
Reactor and it hasn't been repaired, the game instantly ends and all citizens are killed by the explosion (verify)
