Factorio Forums

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.

I'd just load the game back up

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...
