Hey @EmperorPingu, just wanted to say this is such an imaginative and thoughtful idea! I really think you put alot of care into outlining this mod concept — it’s clear you’ve given a lot of thought to how celestial navigation and clockwork could enrich the exploration experience in Vintage Story. The way you’re trying to bring more realism and depth to navigation and time mechanics is genuinely inspiring, and I think it taps into the best part of the game and one that so many people would love to see expanded.
Even if this project doesn't end up being a mod, I think there’s already a lot here for the creators to think about. The mechanics, the more realistic star behavior, clockwork elements, new navigation tools, this could be an amazing way to teach CelNav in the real world — it’s the kind of idea that could evolve in so many fun directions. Thanks for sharing it, and for being so respectful and encouraging in your approach! You're so awesome!
Sincerely,
Green
