You have the option to save the game before using a lockpick, so technically you never have to lose one, so there is no extra cost and to be honest using the lockpick (on pc) really isn't that hard.
yes because it is loaded automatically again and again it should not be possible i need a ( Shannon cellar save)
i need this i made a mistake and can't get any further i need a (save) for exactly this purpose
It actually has been close to 4 months since the last update. But you are wrong, the dev already said that the update is coming either the last week of August or the first of September.
It's not that hard once you get the hang of it, but the first few times you attempt it are also where it's the costliest to fail (because you likely don't have a lot of cash saved up yet to buy replacement picks), which isn't a great combo. Moreover, it's not a good sign when the solution to a problem is "just save-scum"; that's usually indicative of some other underlying issue, such as a poorly balanced segment, etc.

Not really because it's basically a skill you have to learn, you got to work for some things otherwise what's the point of playing.
Of course it's a skill you have to learn, but when the majority of your players feel like they have to cheat (save-scum) in this one particular area, that clearly means that something's not right. I'm not saying that you shouldn't be punished at all for failing, but maybe the cost of lock picks shouldn't be so high, or it should take three failed attempts before the pick breaks instead of just one.

Update is going through test phase atm so progress is being done. It will still need the journal to be updated and I’m guessing another round of testing but dev said first week September at the latest and he usually sticks to those types of deadlines unless something major happens irl.
What game do you play that you don't save (if/when you can) before doing something that could cost you an inconvenience. At the price of lockpicks you should be saving before using one.
Skyrim. At least, I don't save before attempting to pick a lock in that game.
Again, it's not black and white: I'm not saying you should never have to save for security—saving before a boss is always good, and even games with limited save locations will give you one before a boss—, but when you have to save-scum for something as minor as picking a lock, that's a problem. Even then, there are games which are balanced around you not being able to save, such as Dark Souls, and I think those are all the better for it. In a way, saving whenever you want is a game-breaking mechanic, so I think it's the minimum a game can do to not require that you abuse that mechanic in order to get through it, and moreover I respect games which outright remove that option and instead opt to balance themselves around the restriction of having limited/no saves (balance being, as always, the key word here).
The answer is literally 5 posts above yours.new version when it comes out
it is a skill and fun little game, I think it gets a bit repetitive. it would be good if when you lock pick into a house for the first time if you could steal their spare key so you only have to do it once per building.

You do realise you can (and should) make normal saves when ever you want to? I personally save after entering the town and at the beginning of Vera’s pregnancy as well as rotating the save slots. NEVER rely on the auto save as it fails often.
