It just makes sense. Quicksaving negates the games buggy nature, especially with mods. Sometimes, though, unloading and reloading the game isn't convenient. Why not have an auto-quicksave as well? Fold that into load times and the game will be better.

[Dozebôm Lolumzalìs]

It already exists in DFHack. (Clarification: this is not a criticism of your suggestion. I am giving relevant information. First, it's probably feasible to implement if DFHack can do it. Second, if you want quicksaving right now, that can happen.)

Correct me if I'm wrong and quicksave only works in Fortress mode.

It's not in adventure mode, and that's what I want.

DFHack uses autosave function from fortress mode. Since it doesn't exist in adventure mode, you can't force your game to autosave while playing adventurer.

But overall, I'd find this feature useful, no matter if it would be implemented into the game directly or not. It's just because I find that DF has sometimes tendency to crash in adventurer mode and this feature would add some extra security.

[Senator Jim Death]

DFHack quicksave apparently works in fortress mode by setting the flag the game uses for seasonal autosaves.

I'd be happy to see official save-and-continue for both adventure mode and fortress mode. But I've lost a lot more adventure progress from forgetting to save than fortress progress, just because adventure mode seems to be more likely to crash after a long session.
