The short answer is: Probably not. (
@Redigit and
@Cenx doesn't like that)
Long answer: During the late stages of Console 1.3 development (for PS4 and Xbox) when they finally began releasing spoilers, it became clear that they intended to go with the single Save & Exit option (from pc) instead of having two separate options like the then current Terraria port developed by Engine. I know I commented about that, asking for it to be changed. The answer I got (from
@Loki i believe, i don't remember the exact wording) was that they (Red, Cenx) thought that users would make mistakes (quit instead of saving). I didn't buy that argument. It wasn't a problem then, and most normal users would have Autosave turned on as that was the default setting so if they did accidentally pick exit instead of save, they wouldn't lose much. I thought they did it to make it harder to cheat (Goblin Tinkerer not giving you the reforge you want? Just exit without saving and try again). Unfortunately they went through with it, and that makes it harder for us who do micro-manage when the game saves.
During that time it also became clear that we would get the pc ui, but not many reacted to that. It wasn't until relesease that the
storm hit the fan.
