calender celestial-objects lunar-cycles celestial-cycles calendar-cycles
Currently in the calendar you are only able to let each celestial object have one cycle.
This works fine for most mundane celestial objects like our moon, however if a moon were to for example rotate every 7 cycles around its own axis but be full every 20 days you would have to make two celestial objects within the calender to account for this single object.
Now, having to use separate celestial objects for different aspects of a moon or other celestial object works just fine, if you have a small number of celestial objects, and these celestial objects do not have a lot of different cycles.
However, if the total number of your celestial objects and their different cycles go over a certain number they start overlapping the date number, and it also becomes rather crowded as seen in the example below.
It is difficult to grasp much of importance here, which moons are full? which moons are currently visible? Which moons are about to be at their most powerful point in the last 10 000 years?
With the current system that's not particularly easy to figure out using the calendar unless you only have a small number of celestial objects and different cycles for them.

on 2021-06-12 10:17I love this idea so much. I am not entirely sure how this would be implemented (or how we would see it in the icons themselves) but this would help my worldbuilding so much.
