TL;DR

As title says - if another save is selected, game will load map version, scenario, difficulty, playtime and mods from save but these are empty if new save name is typed - show there current game stats instead (maybe with different color or something).

What ?

Save game dialog has fixed labels for map version, scenario, difficulty, playtime and mods but these are empty for newly created save

Why ?

If player is trying to be lazy bastard with no spoon it is quite important to know current playtime - currently only way to know that is to save game and then open "load game" dialog to see. Also these empty slots looks that something is missing ...

The console command

Code: Select all

/time

will print the current playtime. It will not disable achievements.

You can pin the achievement to the top left via the magnet buttons. This will display the time left.

valneq's suggestion is probably better in this case anyway, it also tracks the lazy bastard crafting counter. Click on the Achievements button on the top right above the minimap, find the achievement(s) you want to track and click the magnet button. They will display on the top left of the screen:
