Option to re-run Ariadne simulations

[Schrödinger's Cat]

It would be nice to be able to re-run Ariadne simulations; if you take a break from the game or want to stream it to a friend and fill them in, you could run Ariadne to remember your current story status and progress
Or just for the sake of them, the Black Stalker sim is really nice and I would run it again just for atmosphere

We were thinking about it, but we were afraid that people will be confused, which are already done, and if you would accidentally go into the wrong one, those things are looooong...

You should be able to exit at any moment the ones that you already completed, don't you?
Anyway, green button "Run simulation" and grey button "Run simulation again" shouldn't really be that confusing. Especially if you add a confirmation dialog, that states there is nothing new to see.

Currently you have to make a special save slots if you want to watch Ariadne simulations again, and well, given that save slots are limited and oldest saves (even manual ones) are automatically rewritten (when you save manually), I just found out I lost mine. Thats why I created this thread.

Regarding confusion, Im not sure if its a feature or a bug as its my first play through but...

I have ran simulation only once after getting all the clues.
On the heist map it says: Conducted Investigations: 1/4
I cannot run the simulation again on the board.
When I go to sleep every time I get a prompt if Im sure to do so witouth running the simulation first (I already did).
Weather I click yes or no I cannot re-run the simulation.

Is that ok? Or will that prevent me from progressing into the story?

It's not THE simulation. There are four of them. I think you have only run the first one.
