Play in simultaneous mode and problems like this are automatically eliminated with need for autosaves.

Oh well, it's excusable that I didn't know. The thread is from about a year before I joined But it's good to know I'm not the only one.

got new colony tech.

"upgraded" old colony ship (didn't remove old colony module, but did change the ship type from rock colonizer to ice colonizer)

built a very large number of new "ice" colonizers which were still rock colonizers.

sent them to various ice planets.

got the "can't colonize an ice planet" error.

was very pissed.

corrected design problem.

sent colonizers each back to a spaceyard.

retrofitted.

drained resources so bad that lots of ships got scrapped.

was very very pissed.
Heh, I too have done this very thing once or twice as well. Really sucks.

"The Worst Things That Can Happen" list that Atrocities has just started today. I'd give you a link, but unfortunately I'm far too lazy right now

Yup, I've done that mistake too. Not just in SEIV, but in other games too. Something really bad happens in an RPG like I got cursed or crippled while I'm trapped deep in a dungeon, and I know I'm doomed so I hit the "quick load" button to go back to a save, but I hit the "quick save" button by mistake and wrote over my last good save.

Kamog,

It's worse if it happens on a work-project... I've been there...

There's one app that I use a lot that used to have the knack of suggesting a default name for saved files. The default name was always workspace.fmw... It also had the knack of not prompting if you were going to overwrite an existing file...
