Prompt when overwriting saved game

[johiah]

Idea 1:Please as soon as possible add a "are you sure you wish to overwrite" whe you accidentally click the wrong save when you are saving a colony. I just lost 24 HOURS of gameplay and this has happened multiple times already. This basically means I can only have 1 world at a time. Idea 2:Also in the saves folder please have a back up place where everytime you save it creates a second version with a slightly different name, so I could go back and get my 24 hours. Please, add this soon.

They were all autosaves of this new world I had made that I accidentally overwrote my old one with.

Uhh i feel your pain man. I don't see any problems with this time proven safe measure, so +1 there. Not sure about idea 2, seems like a lot of file bloating.

Yeah, maybe just idea one. And what really sucked is I had people with a 20 skill level.

Just pay attention and these problems will solve themselves.
Also good advice for gradeschool.

People pay attention until they don't, that's when accident happens. That's why cars have seatbelts.

I don't see a problem with a save "seatbelt", specially if you could toggle it, should it bother some people.

Rather rude.

well that was the problem. I kinda go into autopilot when I play this in the colony I deleted, just waiting for the next attack.

Not intended to be.

On topic: You can simply periodically save your important colonies under a different name thereby creating a parallel save, or an alternate universe, whichever sounds better.

I have edited your subject line. For future reference, subject lines should sum up the idea you're trying to suggest, not your impatience to see it implemented.

Thanks, I couldn't think of how to sum it up into a few words.
