Autosaves per colony?

[tommytom]

Unless I am mistaken, autosaves are global. If you forget to save manually and start a new colony, the autosaves are overwritten from another colony. Autosave should either only appear for you current colony or do something like "nameofcolony-autosave-1", but even that is cumbersome if you have colonies by the same name.

Autosaves only happen on the map youre playimg. When youre done for that playsession save your game. If you crash, it was for the playsession you were just in. Therefore The only need would be for the forgetful...as you stated...

Yeah, true, but if I don't save at the end of the day as I am only playing one colony and the next day there is a major update and I want to try something for 5 minutes, I already start overriding autosaves. Or worse, I experience a bug, want to test it immediately, and I mess around too long expecting to do something quickly and I lose all my progress.

If you only run one colony at a time, you may never realize that autosaves are global (I didn't at first), so as soon as you deviate, you could overwrite everything not realizing.
