Kasyu mission elapsed time, referring to the date/time in the top left corner... IIRC if your game FPS is below the “physics limit” then it is yellow to show you that the game is simplifying the physics calculations to ensure you get a decent FPS. Or something like that. The graphics mods that add clouds are typically a culprit you can’t avoid, but sometime mods are buggy and throw off errors in the console.
