[2.0.72] Autosave index jumps backward after loading older saves

With many autosave slots (e.g., 1000), loading an older save makes the autosave counter jump back to earlier numbers.
Example: at autosave ~600, loading a save from 1 hour ago causes new autosaves to start around ~540.
This overwrites recent autosaves even though free slots exist.
Expected:
Autosaves should continue from the latest index, not move backwards on load.

Thanks for the report however autosave indexes are based off the time in the save file and are not shared/incremented across different saves.
Specifically the autosave index used is computed as: (update-tick / autosave-interval - 1) % autosave-slots + 1

I see that it works this way. However I am not sure that this is reasonable? It kind of defeats the purpose of having multiple autosave files a bit. Maybe another method would work better to serve the autosaves idea of having the recent backups not override each other.
