Kitalon Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I generally leave the game 'suspended' so that I can pick it up and play instantly, but on a couple of occasions I've closed the game down and it hasn't maintained all my progress. So I am wondering how do you force a manual save in solo/local play? Does backing out to the main menu save your progress? How often are the auto-saves? Cheers, Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Volunteer Moderator invincibleqc Posted June 20, 2019 Volunteer Moderator Share Posted June 20, 2019 Single-player is saving when you exit. You can also force a save with the saveworld command. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitalon Posted June 24, 2019 Author Share Posted June 24, 2019 And I gather that there is no such thing as auto-save? Granted that this game is usually played live/real-time I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mossenstein Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 In the mode you favor there is no auto save, but the game does occasionally save while running. Not exactly sure what the criteria for that is but it is a thing. I know this because I play single player too & sometimes when things would go sideways I would close the game outright before going to menu -thus stoping a save from happening- to sidestep whatever mishap took place. Rarely, but occasionally this would not work & the game would put me back where I was upon reload forcing me to deal with the games reality, lol.

Kitalon Posted June 25, 2019 Author Share Posted June 25, 2019 Yes, I see. Thanks for the feedback. Although I haven't used it to #reload, I do make sure I exit properly after doing any major building work. So as soon as I finished building my boat (I'm used to Atlas so need one) I logged out to force a save, so if it crashed before an auto-save I wouldn't lose all my hard work.

Granted that this game is usually played live/real-time I suppose. The game autosaves every 15min. Youll notice when you afk when you pause and then return that it saves as soon as you unpause. Youll also notice a slight lag sometimes when it happens. Theres a blue saving message in your bottom right corner every time, so it shouldnt be hard to tell. Though ill admit i get so into what im doing i often dont notice it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kitalon Posted July 3, 2019 Author Share Posted July 3, 2019 I've noticed something which may or may not be a thing or it might just be a strange coincidence but after laying on a bed it seemed to create a save point from there too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
