Autosaves?
« on: November 28, 2017, 11:12:55 pm »
Downloaded the new DF and checked the init file, and couldn't find anywhere to set quicksaves. Anyone have an explanation?

Quicksave is dfhack.

Vanilla init has an option to set saves to [SEASONAL] for automatic saving at the start of each season..

--edit
There you go:
In d_init.txt

Quote
Use these to control the automatic saving behavior in the dwarf fortress mode of game.  AUTOSAVE can be set to NONE, SEASONAL or YEARLY.  This updates your save at these intervals, so that some of your progress will be saved in case of system instability.  You can set AUTOBACKUP to YES if you want the updated save to be copied to another folder so that you'll have several copies of your world at different times.  Set AUTOSAVE_PAUSE to YES if you want the game to pause every time it autosaves.

[AUTOSAVE:SEASONAL]
[AUTOBACKUP:NO]
[AUTOSAVE_PAUSE:NO]
