Yes it can, or theoretically should be able to. They had day and night 
cycles
in the kickstarter stretch goals, but they scrapped it during the alpha 
process due to time and budget pressure. They said it is really hard to 
add day and night cycles to an existing game, less so if the game was 
designed from ground up to handle that.

So my guess is, it can do it, but it is simply not done.
