Had to stop for IRL reasons. Was about to build a coal depot but I knew that saving at a blank screen would be confusing.
I’ve been using a signpost mod for many years, along with a todo list. Especially valuable for complex mod plays like an angel and bobs run
In my prime time I had a database of everything (yes it was access and no, it wasn’t good)
I don’t. I’m a software developer in my day job and during that I need to keep my ADHD in check with task lists and tickets…
So whenever I play I pick up something that looks fun and roll with it… if I forgot some plans midstream then I just let them go and do something else.
I, specifically, never want a TODO list item that I’m not looking forward to to be hanging over my head - because then I’ll never pick up the save file again.
Last night my in game alarm went off for low power. I was about to fix it, so I muted it. But then I realized I was done for the night, so I turned it back on, saved, and exited.
So there is no way I forget what my next task is.
Most games don’t seem to let you name saves anymore, but I used to name my saves after whatever I expected to do next.
