New Feature Addition · Calendars · Created by _falas_

declined

There is currently no feature that lets you look at historical events or dates in general in multiple calendars at once. The only thing you can do is make different timelines and add a date to all of them, but in my opinion that becomes convoluted quickly, especially when not all of your world is using the same calendar and when the calendar years don't start on the same date.
I would love to have a feature that shows you what the date in one calendar corresponds to in another calendar, or that calendars could be laid over each other to see what corresponds to what.
Maybe an option could be added for timelines so that more than one relevant calendar could be chosen and so the dates would be displayed in multiple calendars at once.

The Team's Response

So, first of all let's put this out of the way. A big part of the above will be addressed by Chronicles the feature that is coming out within the next 2 months. What I am surprised to see is that there has been no mention of the fact that for the above to be even a reality you need a parity system down to the SECOND of a minute in order to convert from one timeline system to another and what the repercussions of that for YOU to maintain it. Currently on earth we have a global standard and ALL other calendars (Chinese, Aztec etc) experience in many cases slippage several years, not to mention that this does not cover time changes over multiple realms/planets etc or time dilation. This is not a simple issue to tackle not for me not for you or anyone and everyone has a different understanding of how time SHOULD work. It took us 11 months of work so far to bring Chronicles where there are today and I am not an astrophysicist for imaginary universes.

"The Calendar overhaul is coming" is a line I heard months ago but I think Dimitri has been getting overwhelmed with other suggestions and work. Even if this suggestion isn't explicitly accepted, I still want to blow these 300 points to say *please work on the Calendar overhaul.*

I write sci-fi with multiple planets having even different day lengths. For consistent time keeping it is necessary to have a calendar for each planet and maybe for each culture on said planets. A help, to keep track of that is having some universal time measured in the smallest unit (for me it is hours) and calculating a date within each calendar from that universal time.
