Summary0029681: Suggestion - Give players an option to intentionally overwrite the .timeline save
DescriptionDescription:
If player encounters the "Savegame is x turns out of date" warning they might've progressed more than they did in the initial save but faster or plethora of other edge case scenarios where player might want to overwrite the save, however currently it's pretty difficult because the main options are:
- Delete the .timeline save
-- All .timeline saves are named in a very unreadable manner so identifying the correct one is nigh impossible
- Matching the turn count between versions of the timeline
-- Sometimes is besides the point since player might want to have a lower turn count in that timeline and other times the difference might be too large to consider this an option

Suggestion:
- Add a button with a separate warning that this action is irreversible to the "Savegame is x turns out of date" tooltip, that would allow the player to overwrite a timeline

Additionally there's no way to disable the timeline validity check altogether (the one that prevents user from overwriting the .timeline files) where during testing,
I'd like to easily overwrite timeline save files because (especially now) with meta puzzles that check is beginning to interfere with my work, and deleting the timekeep files while a decent workaround is very annoying while testing multiple possible edge cases between timelines.
