[0/17.58] Server not honoring autosave_interval precisely

[electricOzone]

I'm hosting a server on Ubuntu Linux. My server-settings.json file is usually configured with an autosave_interval of 30 minutes. However, I noticed autosaves were only happening about once every 63 minutes.

As a test, I set the autosave_interval to 1 minute. In this case (see attached files), the server is still only autosaving about once every 95 seconds.

Thanks for the report however that's working correctly. Autosave interval is in game-time not real world time. Your save file is not running at full speed because you've built so much and so it takes longer real-world time to reach the interval.

I see, thanks for the info! So if I set the autosave_interval to 1 minute, it's really being set to 3600 game ticks? 30 minutes = 108,000 ticks?

Yeah. You should be able to see the speed at which your game is running in "UPS", which is really ticks per second, if you turn it on in the debug overlay.
