Autosave

[DragonSlayer666]

Hi all,

Is it possible to either A) change the amount of auto save files a headless server uses? Or B) change that it will overwrite the current used save file?

Every time I need to reboot the server after maintenance I have to manually rename the autosave file to the used save file. I'd like the possibility to change the autosave file amount to 1(so I can set it to load Autosave1 on boot or let it overwrite my server save file.

Love to hear your opinions and/or solutions.

Kind Regards,
DragonSlayer666

Start the server with the --autosave-slots 1 parameter. You can also change the interval with --autosave-interval N.
