Advanced Player Option - auto shutdown

Ideas that are too old (too many things have changed since) and ones which won't be implemented for certain reasons or if there are obviously better suggestions.

Advanced Player Option - auto shutdown

Post by Tym »

Having played several games now amounting to hundreds of hours, I find i need a mod/feature that will act as follows:

After a pre-set absolute clock-time or # of hours played, the game should freeze, display a 5 second count-down during which the game is saved, then is shut down.

I expect such a feature would eliminate some of the 0200 bed times i've been having lately.

Is this essentially a parental control idea?

it could function for that, but i was speaking of my own (56-year-old) situation.

I suppose it could be considered a spouse/S.O. control...

You can schedule a task in windows to shut down your pc at 2:00am.

This is really not something, which needs to be controlled by Factorio but by the environment.
A cronjob that saves the game and shuts it down...
