Welcome to the forums! This is a feature of summer nights, though it depends on where you settled. The further north you go, the longer the days get in summer, to the point it may be bright enough during the "night" to prevent monster spawns on the surface. By default, the start is the temperate zone, which will have longer summer days, but not to the extent that nights won't be dark enough for monsters, at least for a short time.

Thanks for the info. I was aware the game followed real-world logic of polar regions having longer periods of sun exposure, but I settled near the spawn point in the temperate zone so I wasn't expecting bright nights.

Reached the first day of summer, and my nights are bright enough I can see everything clearly, also no monsters are spawning. I thought it was the auto-contrast adjuster going haywire, but playing around with all the settings either makes everything bright or dark regardless of any light sources. If summer nights are brighter, fair enough. If it's a bug, anyone got any idea what the cause/solution is?
