Feb 18, 2018 at 16:03 comment added Rúnatál Davino I guess you're right. I shouldn't be so attached to my calendar system, I just think a 44 month year with six day weeks is pretty cool and I already baked in some cultural significance to the vernal equinox and the amount of days per "month" in the solar calendar societies anyway. but it's not a terrible change, i was just too attached to it.
Feb 18, 2018 at 15:41 comment added Palarran What actually stops you from changing the star's luminosity? Altering the calendar shouldn't be that hard in principle; calculate the new orbital period, then shorten the day/month/year as appropriate (cut a few days out of each month, cut the final month, make each day an hour shorter, whatever suits your purpose). Failing that, I would recommend the greenhouse effect; tidal heating and radioactive material won't scale up effectively, and over astronomical time scales you won't get the necessary meteorite bombardment consistently (you'd run out of material, if nothing else).
