Periodic Saves.
« on: July 15, 2016, 04:15:42 pm »
Exactly what it says on the tin. With so many people losing lots of time to crashes it's time to implement periodic saves.

I currently use dfhack to do periodic saves but I know that dfhack isn't for everyone.

Code: [Select]
repeat -time 7 -timeUnits days -command [ quicksave ] -name weeklyautosave
Thanks for the fantastic game.

Reading his name would trigger it. Thinking of him would trigger it. No other circumstances would trigger it- it was strictly related to the concept of Bill Clinton entering the conscious mind.

Although regular crashing is pretty much always dfhack's fault (or some related util) so...

I wouldn't mind an option to periodically save based on real time (say, every two real hours).
