Factorio Forums

I've been playing Factorio for a while on singleplayer and on multiplayer servers (as host) and one thing that bothers me is autosaves.
There are max 3 auto-saves regardles of amount of your maps , so my sugesstion is to make 3 autosaves per map so it would remove possibility of having save for map in very hard spot (during bitter attack)

I would say it so:
The behavior of autosave should be configurable per map and at any time on that map:

- Possibility to change the interval length
- Possibility to change number of saves (1 to endless) that are created
- Possibility to change prefix/the suffix of filename (a fixed part like "MyWorld" and a flexible part like "2017-06-22" and "001")
- Setting type of expiration: round-robbin like now, logarithic (after 10 autosaves of that world, it will delete the ten before but keep one left - and so on) or continously growing

This! it would make it much easier to manage my dozens of autsaves and would stop flooding my steam cloud with gigabytes of data, that I won't ever need.
