In regards to saving in a Simultaneous games SAVES before you end turn.

1: Minimize se4.
2: Go to save game or Mod folder
3: Right click Copy entire Savegame Folder
4: Create folder SavegameBU
5: Paste Contents from the original Savegame Folder to new SavegameBU. Transfer Folder and all contents.
6: Max se4 and continue playing.

That's it, if you wish to return to the Previous save [end game], Enter savegameBU copy the folder within and from the Mod Directory just over write and it will copy the old savegames back.
Start se4
Best to [LOAD] Previous game, not [resume].
Guaranteed to work.

After you have did this a few times it takes less then 3 seconds to save and backup

It just worked for me. YES
Did what you suggested, then open a few more warps from my Home System.
Found the Sergetti and restored the game by the method you suggested and it took me back 6 turns ago.
So far so good I am able to retrace everything. Except this time I won't open Sergettis warp Point

I also copy and save from the Backup, History and Temp Folders from the se4 directory when I do a Simu global save, while playtesting; but this may be just anal.

I also did this, is this what made the difference, JLS?

Example when to save before an event:
Opening a (out a) Home System Warp.
Attacking an AI Planet.
Prior to a major AI battle.

Now of coarse I just do this while Play testing.

It is not considered cheating in Solitaire Games, is it
