Comment (by antoniou79):

 I agree. At the very least I'll see if I can add something to the
 documentation somewhere.

 I did bring up this issue in Discord a while ago (when I committed the
 fix), but I don't think there was any solution suggested for it, and I
 moved on to something else.

 The problem is that this engine function SkyEngine::saveGameState() has to
 return a Common::Error, and of the available ones none is exactly fitting
 with this situation. There's little room to maneuver here, since this save
 method is called from the common engine code (Engine::saveGameDialog()) --
 it's not specific to the SKY engine.

 So we either add a new Error (along with a description) in the common code
 (common\error.h, common\error.cpp) which would be specific to this
 situation, or I guess we could disable writing to slot 0 (making it greyed
 out or something)?

 I'm leaving the ticker open until I or someone else addresses this issue.
