[Suggestion] More save slots for Shipwrecked.

[GiddyGuy]

As the title suggests I think we should have more save slots for shipwrecked, mostly cause when the next two planned new characters that are added to the game means we're gonna have fifteen characters in the game, and when this happens we'll have two modes to pick from RoG or Shipwrecked, which means we are gonna need like 26 or more save slots in order to play both game modes, and at least play a different character on said game modes, but unless someone thinks otherwise please leave a your criticism below. =)

well, actually, since in the final DLC you will be able to move from the shipwrecked to a non-shipwrecked game, won't there really be 4 modes to choose from?  i.e. Vanilla, Vanilla with SW, ROG, ROG with SW.  Unless it works completely like caves as they suggest, and it would just be enabled all the time... you just need to find the portal to the SW world (like finding the portal to the caves).  but if that were the case... what if you wanted to just start a SW-only game?  

in short i an unsure, but interested, in how they propose to make the world-hopping function work.  But no matter what, with this many characters and game variations, i agree there should be more save slots (why is there even a limit?)

Deeply sorry but when I first played don't starve I played with RoG enabled and I can't play Vanilla cause it just doesn't feel right/kind of boring.

Nothing against more save slots.

However, in the future you will be able to access both SW and RoG from one save. Also it was said that you can pick in what world you want to start so you guys are a little misinformed.

Btw, why is it 26 save slots? 15 characters, 2 modes isn't that 30 save slots?(Of course as I said before SW and RoG will be together so in the end its 1 mode)

There are mods for this, but I agree that it should be built-in functionality. As far as I know the only limitation on the number of save slots is what can be shown nicely in the interface, but with DST we have nice scrollable list classes now, which could be easily backported to support a scrolling list of save slots.

Also by the way I was just saying say if you have a Wigfrid save that you started in RoG but you wanted to start in Shipwrecked and see how you could survive in Shipwrecked?

Edit: And yes I know you're gonna respond with "But you can switch between worlds in the future." Yes I understand but what I am trying to say is if you have a save where you started in RoG but wanted to keep that save and start in Shipwrecked with Wigfrid you could still have both saves and it on record that you started in Shipwrecked or Reign of Giants.
