Bug: multiple saved games

[Pesky]

If you have more than one saved game, Aloft lists them correctly but which game you click on does not necessarily govern which one gets loaded.

It *might* not be a bug! When you click on a "save", you only load the world. All your progress (inventory, knowledge, etc) is saved independently with your character. So if you load a world you started as "Stephanie" but with "Simon" instead, you'll be playing as Simon, with his inventory, blueprints, etc.

That does explain a little of what I'm seeing, but I am also seeing the game load me up on the wrong island. One of my saved games has me on my 'ship'. I try to load it up but find I am on the starting island, or on another island which another character is visiting.

I presume that if I save a game, and then restart Steam and reload that save, I should remain in the same place on the same island.

Just have to say, I noticed that too, that starting a new game still had loads of old stuff attached to my character.

I don't like it. The separate character / world save. It doesn't really make logical sense. Unless the finished game is going to go in some very different direction. But now I'd rather have your character and world as just one save. Save and load the world, and the character comes with it, as last you saved him. Don't want to be able to move characters between worlds.

Is this some idea for multiplayer? I can't see how multiplayer would work either, though I generally play games alone.
