[Suggestion] Celestial Notes in Research

It can be pretty frustrating if you have a good research going, only to either scrap that research, research Alchemy (which you maxed out) or wait 7 in-game days (especially early game) to wait for a moon phase. Suggesting to add the option to substitute one Moon Phase with another, possible with malus to progress gained, like -10 Progress for each phase difference. (maybe add a minimum, if totally different Phases) For Example, if Sun + Full Moon gives 40 Progress, Sun + Half Moon give 20, Sun + New Moon gives 5.

Also, as a little Side Suggestion: Extra progress gain or loss, due to accidents or results. For Example, "Result was disappointing", "Experiment failed", leading to less/ loosing progress. For more progress something like "Discovered new possibilities", "Unexpected, but welcome Results", "Better Compatibility found"

As a little addition: Since since Star Quadrants are easy to get and more abundant, make (some) Celestial Research requiring 3, instead of 2 Notes, one of which is always a Star Note, the other random.

I think you should be able to craft the observation papers with an empty map to clone them. Cloned ones can be marked similarly to copies of books and when used don't offer any progression, but at the very least allow you to continue your research without having to scrap the theory.
