The text for this reads "This will make a copy of your current save slot.".

'current save slot' is analogous to 'the campaign state when you last saved', not 'the current campaign state'.

This may lead a player to "save copy" their game (expecting it to make a copy of their last save), then do a proper save, thereby destroying the previous save state they were trying to preserve.

I suggest it be reworded to "Save your current game into an alternative save slot." or, "Save a copy of your current game into a new save slot."


Better still, would be to adopt the conventional "Save As..." paradigm that everyone is already familiar with.

"Save As" won't work since there's no actual choice of naming.

what "Save Copy" actually does is, create a new save slot, save to it, and then make the new save slot current  It's the last part that is omitted from the in-game description, making it critically misleading to new players (it took me like 3 iterations to notice what was really going on, when I started playing in .

Changed it to:

"This will save a copy of your current game to a new slot, which will become the currently-active slot."

Maybe a bit awkward, but hopefully gets the point across.
